Shai Dayan: Improvisation - resting in the unknown (voice)

Most of us struggle every day to keep our lives in line with our idea of how our lives should be.

There are many examples, as many as there are people on this earth, and there is something between them that they all have in common. We all try to live by what we already know. 

There are only a few moments, and even fewer people, who step into the unknown. 

The thing is, it's there whether we like it or not. Not stepping into the unknown is like ignoring that part of us that life is constantly trying to show us - the full human experience.

There is not necessarily anything wrong with what we know, it is simply not all that we are.

Improvisation is simply an invitation to explore the unknown. In order to discover what happens when we stop following our habits, preferences, education, traumas, expectations and fears that tell us what to do, it is necessary to allow ourselves to surrender to pure inspiration with full trust.

Despite the fact that it is good to know our instrument, be it a voice, a body or a personality trait, it is not about that. If we are not aware of it, it can be the very thing holding us back.

So improvisation is not just doing what we want, because even that would be according to some idea of who we are. It's a form of deep mindfulness and listening and constantly letting go of whatever is trying to tell us what to do.

The art is finding a place within us that allows us to relax into the unknown effortlessly and fearlessly.

Peace

Most of us are struggling on a daily basis to keep our lives in line with our idea of how our lives should be.

​There are many life examples, as many as the number of people on this planet, and there is something in common to all, we will all try to live according to what we already know.

 Few are the moments and fewer are the people who will step out into the unknown.

The thing is that it is there whether we like it or not and not going there is like ignoring parts of ourselves which is what life is constantly trying to show us, the complete human experience.

Obviously there is nothing necessarily wrong with what we know, it is simply not all that we are.

​Improvisation is an invitation to explore the unknown, simple as that. To find out what happens when we stop following what our habits, preferences, education, traumas, expectations and fears are telling us to do, rather allow ourselves to surrender to pure inspiration with full trust.

​Even though it is good to be familiar with our instrument, whether it is our voice, body or any personality trade, it is not about that, if we are not aware, that can be in fact the very thing that will hold us back.

So improvisation is not simply doing what we want, because even that will be according to some idea of what we want, it is a form of a deep attentiveness and listening and an ongoing letting go of everything in us that is trying to tell us what it to.

The art of it is to find the place within us that allows us to rest in this unknownness effortlessly, fearlessly.

Peace.
