The art of being spontaneous and letting go of control
The art of being spontaneous and letting go of control
The possibility for unscripted, spontaneous beauty exists in every moment.
Out of control beauty is everywhere! When you are present in the moment, life's great improvisation flows in a magnificent way.
Your most fun memories might be from spontaneous, magical moments, events that occurred without a big plan. Things just happened, unexpected people showed up, and a beautiful time was had by all. The energy was perfect, without trying to make it that way.
How often are the overly controlled and planned-to-the-detail events sometimes painful to get through?
What if something goes wrong? Oh no! If one tiny little thing doesn’t go according to plan, what will we do? It’ll ruin everything. It must go perfectly, so I will control it to make sure. So-and-so will be so disappointed if it isn’t just so!
Usually it’s one person who has taken it upon themselves to oversee the perfection to the detail. It becomes less about being in the present moment and enjoying, and more about making sure a standard of some kind is lived up to.
This can really ruin the fun and joy of being, take the wind out of human creation in the moment, making it impossible to access the magic of one’s spirit.
Improvisation has taken a back seat to the need for static perfection.
This is called having a ‘perfect picture’ and is sure to ruin your day, unless you are flexible and can let go of the old idea at a moment’s notice in order to embrace another reality. A perfect picture insists that there is only one way to do things, and is really not much fun at all.
If you’re filming a movie, or staging a play, it’s important to plan and rehearse, in order to make sure everything is working. Because you know there are going to be surprises and you want to be able to improvise on the spot to deal with them. No matter how perfect you want it all to go, there will be unexpected twists. That is part of the art of creating, after all.
It’s no fun for the audience if your movie or performance looks totally controlled – where’s the spirit in that?
In other words, it’s about the energy, the spirit. Even with flaws and imperfections (which there will be though nobody else may ever see them but you), if the energy is right, everyone will flock to see what you create.
There is an art to having things work and become real, while also having fluidity and flexibility.
This art is your spirit, and it’s already there for you.
You can have your spirit working for you, if you have communication within yourself. It also helps to have lots of permission to not control everything in order for it to all work out perfectly.
Your spirit is an artist, and your life is your art. Everything you create is also helping you to create yourself, and this includes your relationships, work, home, and creations.
I know that being an artist and a psychic is helping me open up to those parts of myself that might have always hidden in the background. Life itself demands from each of us that we make room for change, and that means listening to and working with our spirit.
