Breath in Love; Breathe Out Love

I was recently giving a PeaceHarp lesson and we were talking about connecting to our heart before playing.

Breathe love into your heart
Breathe love out of your heart
Then, begin playing.

As I was leading my student through this exercise and began playing, I was shocked myself what a beautiful difference it made! So, the lesson is connect with my own heart and play from there … it’s also a great way to reduce performance anxiety.

If you try it for yourself (whether or not you are playing the harp), let me know what you think.

I have taught men gentleness and peace. I comfort the lonely. I am a necessary luxury to all men.”
