Proper Use Of The
Imagination
Can Create Miracles
Intention / Focus
Singing is an action performed by the body, as you will soon discover when you reach the reflections section on “My Cylindrical Body”.
The setting of a clear intention makes it possible for the mind to steer clear of the actions performed by the body, and to stop interfering with a process that the body knows full well how to do.
Singing involves a process which operates solely on muscles which cannot be seen or even felt, muscles which are totally involuntary. We only have a sense of them.
What should your intention be?
Certain instructions can be given to the body to begin to allow the body to open up and make space for the breath so that the innate rhythmic pattern of breathing once again becomes the norm. As this practice becomes internalised, the body begins to breathe itself, and becomes the breathing body which we were born with.
The artist might have a set goal and intention which they created for themselves. Together with their own intention, it is a good idea to combine it with an intention of openness, of curiosity, and playfulness. One which invites in an approach of ”what’s next”.

Visualisation
It is known throughout, that those who have achieved great things, the element of visualisation has been a large part of their success.
Visualisation is a tool to enhance the ability of the performer, if done in an effective way as suggested on this page, the way many great achievers have used to achieve great results, to bring about their outcome very much quicker.
I have found visualisation to be most effective when i have a conversation with myself, telling myself of my great achievements and accomplishments, tapping into the future events and feelings before they have happened. I have been able to feel in to the situation much easier than to picture it. Having a conversation with myself has definitely assisted in me being able to create a clearer vision of what it is that I want to achieve.
This visual outcome could easily change as the artist progresses. The artist can keep this image at the forefront of their mind, so that they do not deviate from their ultimate intention.

Meditation Or Relaxation
A relaxed body is imperative if any substantial progress is to be obtained during this singing process which, unlike any other musical instrument, nobody can physically show you how to do. It for this reason that the mind stays out of the process, intention being the only way to grow and develop in the art of singing.
Once the intention is set, and a visualisation of the ultimate outcome of the artist has been created, can the physical work of singing and breathing begin.
If the previous 2 steps are skipped, the singing artist has no visual outcome to work towards. The result might be confusion, and a lack of direction, leading the artist to search for all the “how to sing” information that they can possibly comes across.
Singing is a process of internalising, so if the searching of all the “how to sing” information begins, the magic of the process can be skipped, overlooked and severely delayed.
Trusting the process is an extremely important factor during the singing process.

Thoughts
"Our Thinking makes it so"
If we think we can or if we think we can't, we are right"
There are so many great quotes which suggest that our thoughts help to create what it is we want in our lives.
These thoughts help us to create habits and patterns of behaviour which either serve us or do not serve us in reaching our goals, dreams and desires.

Past Experiences
Past Experiences are the underlying or undercurrent of whether we move forward successfully towards what we envision for ourselves or not.
Simply put, everything in life which our souls are leading us towards, might have a counter-Intention which is subconsciously stopping us from getting there.
This is something which i wish someone had mentioned to me when i began singing.
As much as we consciously and at a soul level want to achieve our goals, dreams and desires, our old stories and patterns are the undercurrent which either helps or interferes with our progress.

This is the magic that encapsulates the process of creating the life as a singer which you would like to live and embody.
