A really very long time in the past once I was enjoying guitar concert events, I got here up a kinder means for me to memorize items for the live performance. I’d play a chunk 50 instances, earlier than I examined whether or not I had memorized the music or not.
It labored fairly effectively. I wasn’t stressing about getting the piece memorized, and I discovered after 50 repetitions I used to be starting to get the piece memorized. So I performed it 50 extra instances with out testing my reminiscence, and I had memorized much more of the piece.
This essay isn’t about this explicit course of I used, however about what was happening in my thoughts as I did the repetitions.
I made a decision that it didn’t matter the place my thoughts was as I performed, so long as I did the enjoying. I allowed my thoughts to wander, and figured I’d get the piece memorized anybody.
Altering path right here:
I’ve a shopper who memorizes simply, however all the time has issues when he performs for me. He forgets the place he’s within the piece. I requested him what’s happening, and he stated his thoughts was interested by issues he must do, has achieved, ought to have achieved, and so forth.
This bought me to pondering.
We’ve got minds which can be wandering in every single place, and WE’RE STILL ABLE TO PLAY A PIECE OF MUSIC WELL, OR RUN WELL, OR GOLF WELL.
This appears problematic to me, and possibly it’s not an issue, if we’re not making ourselves responsible or afraid of what we’ve achieved or needs to be doing. This implies unfavourable feelings, concern and/or guilt, usually are not interfering with the exercise.
Besides, by some means I feel this can be a downside, if we’re not absolutely current in an exercise that requires nice method and/or memorizing.
It’s like studying a web page of a guide, and also you’re so distant, you don’t even know what you’ve learn.
IF YOU DO SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARILY WELL AND RELY ONLY ON MEMORY TO GET IT DONE, AND YOU’RE NOT PRESENT, THEN YOU’VE MISSED THE JOY OF THE MOMENT.
YOU CAN ONLY REWARD YOURSELF WITH HOW MASTERFULLY YOU’VE DONE WHAT YOU’RE DOING OR WON, GIVEN YOU MISSED THE JOY OF THE PERFORMANCE, WHETHER IN MUSIC OR A SPORT.
Being completely current and centered on what you’re doing adjustments what?
On the very least, it reveals you you could be completely conscious within the second, and your thoughts leaping round isn’t all the time calling the pictures.
I imagine there’s something life alteringly profound whenever you understand you could be current for lengthy intervals of time, and never should be pulled in every single place by a thoughts by no means fairly in a position to focus.
IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO BE PRESENT WITH A QUIET MIND AND IN JOY FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.
TRY IT, YOU’LL LIKE IT.
