Me & The Blues

Posted by Barefoot Baroness in Life in General, music posts and tagged with music, Thought, Electric guitar, Lyrics, emotions, Gary Moore, Music therapy, Blues, Ostinato, Popular music, pablo camara June 17, 2013

Deciphering life through music is an empowering way to express one’s self, a cathartic way to analyze one’s thoughts & feelings, and a way to examine and self inventory.

To feel joy through a song that reminds you of a special celebration , a favorite road trip, or maybe true love is something we may take for granted. Or the heartbreak ‘ripping the heart out’ kind of tune.There is a reaction between the body, brain, & heart. A chemical reaction,

More than the beat of the tune, the great guitar riffs, or the l y rics, music is much more to our brain. There is more to liking or not liking a song for each individual. Dozens of brain receptors in our brain respond to different rhythm, tones, and lyrics, determining the qualities we personally like and dislike in a particular song.

Music involves more parts of the brain than any other function that people perform, Specific brain wave rhythms are associated with particular emotional and cognitive outcomes. Over time listening to music improves language skills, creativity & happiness. Music also has incredible healing powers to decrease anxiety, speed healing, increase optimism, and to decrease pain.

Music definitely does not go in one ear and out the other. I tend to think we absorb it.

I write a lot, and I write a lot about self-exploration and spirituality. I like to think of this process as an excavation of myself. I am unable to write without music, I always knew it inspired me, even helped me open up by striking those chords within myself.

When certain blues bar chords hit my ears then travel through my soul I am in touch with myself like no other time. Nothing has an immediate impact on me like blues. There is some kind of physiological reaction and my mind opens up to my heart & my spirit. The Blues chords strip away my ego’s thoughts and protective sleeve helping me find way to the raw emotions I garner for when I write. I have a play list for Writing Music, and one for Healing Music among my collections of music. All genres are represented in my library except Rap. ( I’m just not evolved enough I suppose) I even have some opera. But blues is where it’s at for me when I am writing.

My friend and master guitarist Pablo Camara’s background is in music therapy. He is a music teacher and has the soul of a great artist who gives to others his gift of brilliance. His improvisations are in my mind and ears the very best. Through the music he covers & his original work I have discovered what music really does for us physiologically. If we pay attention we can learn,

To me it is obvious the way we are able to emote such feelings through a piece of music like this Gary Moore cover below. The music sensibilities & sensitivity it takes to improvise & improve with a different perspective than anyone else and create something quite moving is phenomenal. Focusing on the recognition that it is the creative energy that flows from such a well composed song with its many layers, I see that this is my inspiration for my own creative wings to fly.

With my friend’s full permission I want to share this music I am referring to that sets my wings aflight. (for full credits see *below)

Maybe your wings will soar too.

This cover is now my all time my favorite version. Which is saying something because I am an admitted Gary Moore snob. With Mr Camara showcasing all his chops; incredible riffs & vibrato, and the way he bends those 6 strings while working the fretboard is pure medicine for the soul.

And my muse for writing.

The music we are able to connect with on different levels with someone else is remarkable. And it can become an addicting way to communicate expression of feelings. It can be a pretty healthy way I might add. The genre of blues does this for me, I hear those chords and get a lump in my throat. I know this means something in me needs to be explored, and possibly expressed in some way.

It’s music that inspires me.

It’s.Music that plays to my soul.

It’s Music that sings to my heart

And sometimes… it’s a blues cover from a friend.

Gandhi’s Top Ten Fundamentals

For Changing the World/Your World

pablo's top ten

A good friend shared Gandhi’s timely message and it served to be the beautiful reminder of a some things I have not been mindful of late. I was challenged by this to really think about how I apply these ten tenets to my own life. The timing is impeccable as is typical from friends with a heart of music.

Gracias y paz os sean Pablo.

1.) Change Yourself

There has been much discussion on how to go about this from prophets to self-help gurus. All have discovered one thing for certain in common; Only by beginning to change how we think may we truly begin to change ourselves.

2.) You are in Control

It is within our own grasp to begin to take ownership for what happens in our lives. To be empowered by the knowledge that we gain in passing through & living the life. The wisdom we gain. I refuse to give this power to anyone or anything else.

3.) Forgive & Let go.

We tend to get into these mind bends where our ego cannot let go in fear of appearing wrong, ignorant, or even uncaring. Who in the end does the destruction of not forgiving hurt? Not letting go grows into something heavier than we should ever be carrying in our hearts.

4.) Without action you aren’t going anywhere

This I find is a necessary component physically, emotionally, and of course most important spiritually. Nothing progresses in my life until I take some kind of action. My mother was fond of saying to my two brothers and I that in times of indecisiveness inaction is a negative, that as long as I did something it was better than just indecisiveness. Even if my choice in the end was wrong I took the risk to create an action.

5..) Take Care of this Moment ~

Live in the now. Be mindful of this moment and nurture it for all its worth. There will never be another one like it.

6.) EVERYONE IS HUMAN

Thankfully so. Remembering that the other person comes with his or her own history and we don’t always know what that is. Or understand it.

7.) PERSIST

Ahh… this is the tenet has been a paramount belief in my life that I was to see early on in my life is an asset. I would have not discovered even a fraction of what I have delightfully found out about this world without being persistent.

8.) See the good in people & help them,

I know when I get out side of my own head I see things in a different light. By serving my community whether it be my own small community of family & friends, the town I live in, my country & universe. I see the goodness that is there. Through these other life forces I gain a different perspective. I NEED to get away from my own thoughts once in a while by focusing on others.

9.) Be congruent, Be Authentic, Be Your True Self

This for me is certainly a #9. I have been striving the latter few years to live as authentic as I am able. Even when it is not so comfortable to do. My beliefs and convictions mean nothing if they come from a less than honest agenda on my part. Building anything on less than my true self is building nothing. To be true to myself means I am able to be true to you.

10.) Continue to grow & evolve.

Namaste ~

Humble Butterfly

Humble Butterfly

Symbolic Butterfly

Soul

* Grace * Growth *

Time

* Elegance * Expansion * Lightness * Surrender * Transition * Expression * Celebration* Resurrection *

* Vulnerability *

All these *attributes the humble Butterfly represents.

In the soul-searching and growing of my own journey it has taken me through, and often crossing paths with these attributes. It has been a long year; one which I have not always been cognizant of the changes taking place that have been allowing me to become the me I have always been meant to be.

I have during this time struggled with being the kind of friend, person, the human being I have always been proud of. I have let people down during my metamorphosis.I have been neglectful. I have learned through the butterfly this is all part of the transition to life. In the resurrection of the authentic me I will find I have only been migrating, and that coming back home will not be difficult as it once seemed. If only I let go and surrender to Mother Nature.

I have always found looking at Symbolism through Mother Nature’s critters & animals is a powerful way to connect with nature and learn life lessons from her. – lessons that I have been needing & wanting for years to an apply to my own life.

Years ago I was doing the same in consideration of my children’s lives. At different points throughout my life I have found certain association with life’s lessons and natures wild life. I am able to easily relate.

When my two daughters were children there often would be the associations with animals and emotions used to explain life to them. Some would be as silly as an expression we used in my youngest daughter’s Montessori school; which was simply the expression “Silly Coyote” ~ so naturally referring to someone being silly in the classroom. the children all could relate, they understood this.

Or it could be something with great significance to me like I am sharing here – about the butterfly.

Observing the butterfly and learning her symbolic meanings offers me an opportunity to apply her movements to my life. For example, I relate the butterfly’s stages of life to my own life-phases…growing pains, times of ravenous hunger, times of vulnerability, moments of miraculous expansion, periods of vulnerabilities.

The more I look for symbolism in nature, the more I realize we as humans have a lot in common with animals, insects, and life in the wild. Indeed, we are intimately connected with the animal [queen] kingdom. I don’t believe we can be separated from nature and her movements, nor should we want to be.

I am fascinated that cultural myth and folklore that seem to honor the butterfly as a symbol of transformation because of her impressive process of metamorphosis. From caterpillar to cocoon, and from the cocoon the butterfly emerges with her wings soaring.

“Soaring Free” painting by Joan Marie @ fineartamerica.com

There are life lessons we can learn from her. She represents life changes and transformations necessary to navigate the metamorphoses of own lives.

She who changes from what she began as, to what she becomes, in a months time. Because this is for her a complete life span.

The Butterfly asks us to accept our growth, and our changes as casually as she does her own. She embraces the changes to her body, and to her environment.

Her unwavering acceptance to these changes are also a symbol of Faith. The Butterfly asks us to keep the Faith as we undergo transitions in our lives, and in our world. She understands that our worrying, stressing, frustration, and even anger are useless against the turning tides of nature – she asks us to recognize the same.

I believe that tapping into a kind of animal symbolism is closely related to tapping into our own souls; because frankly we are inseparable from nature and her creatures.

butterflies free edited x1

In fact, I found interestingly enough that in many cultures the butterfly is associated with the soul; connecting our animal symbolism of faith with the butterfly.

Let me add that in my research about the bond between the butterfly symbol and human nature I discovered that in Greek mythology the psyche (which literally translates to mean “soul) is represented in the form of a butterfly. I think I knew that once, but it never had the connections it holds for me today.

Today I can relate & even bond with the traits of a butterfly that so deeply resonate within myself. Within those even closest to me.

So, tell me if you will please, just where do you find yourself in your own metamorphosis?

The Wonder of Day Dreaming

Posted by Barefoot Baroness in Life in General and tagged with Daydream, dream, Dream Journals, Dream Sharing, health, Holiday, New Age, Psychology, Social Sciences March 24, 2013

Making Time For Quiet Day Dreams

~ And The Wonder of it ~

A Necessity of a Recipe~ No matter where you are in life.

Mix a quiet mind with a life desire, add snippets of memorable times with another, and gently whip a fantasy in until well combined….and let simmer within the quietness of a Day Dream.

Day Dreams; please take me away to another time, another place.

Quieting my mind is not always easy, but given the right incentive I can get there far faster and without the all the excessive packaging when I find the right place, the perfect environment, and the desires for some Day Dreaming to add a moment of bliss.

Being able to quite my mind allows fabulous Day Dreams which remarkably sustain me. There is a real personal nature to Day Dreaming for me, I remain mindful of the hope they keep for me.

DayDream any moment

The great truth in realty is that the mere actions of spending time alone with our Day Dreams is one of the healthiest proactive modalities we can participate in. Life comes with it stresses and hurdles built right in so the more we can do to counter balance stress the better out come we will have towards reaching our goal to thrive. Accepting in life that we are willing participants is no great mystery, it is finding the paths of least resistance that we seem to find a great puzzle. Maybe we try to make it too complicated. Maybe there is a very simple recourse such as through Day Dreaming & Positive Energy (or vibrations if you will)

There is mass information in dozens of different mediums & formats, as well as resources that speak to managing stress in our lives. I am always pleased to be validated when I find something that seems to work for me; and the Psychology & Medical communities in the early 1970′s professed even then that Day Dreaming is a good thing even though it was “New Age” thinking back then.

Day Dreaming it was deemed a good idea, even a healthy one.

Today the prevailing ” New Age” thinking in the lime light is Positive Thinking through Self-Affirmations. I also have found this validating, again because I find it works, That it provides myself with a better outcome in my life when I practice this belief system is no great mystery. The validation is just reassuring.

Day Dreams can manifest from the power of Positive Thinking and with that list of ingredients in the beginning paragraphs is reinforced by the desires we are looking for in life. remember the pure act of Day Dreaming lends the bringing those dreams into our realities.

There are the dreams that we constantly hold out hope for. These are the fodder for the Day Dreams which our creative wings tend to soar us into the most wonderful of fantasies. Fantasies being a most healthy of life affirmations.

Finding that quiet spot and allow your creative wings to unfurl themselves from the body of restraint let and your wishes fly; bringing home Day Dreams which can be comforting, as well as encouraging.

As a person who has deep faith in all things positive I know my Day Dreams are not an idle waste of time. The dreams I have with intentional thoughts are the powerful energy to which will help my hopes for everything I do dream for in reality come to be. This I trust in.

We don’t need to let ourselves be pushed by our problems. Instead, be led by our dreams…. become a dream chaser in your own life. Be it Day Dreams or Night Dreams they both lend to making our life desires a reality.

To dream with a clear intent & direction has immense power. To have the trust that all that we have hopes for in our life can be our reality is a power we can attain through Day Dreaming.

A Choice we can make.

Become a Dream Chaser!

Spring time is a time of rebirth, of new beginnings..

The season is close upon us, it is time for celebrating this journey from feeling caught in the web of our own negativity to the freedom of making positive choices,…from struggling with not understanding…. to reconciling our beliefs and our faith in something more powerful than we are ..and take us into a place emotionally & spiritually where we can find our own peace.

For Today; Find a quiet place for some Day Dreaming, believing and practicing Positive Thinking with some Self affirmations.

It works.

Wishing you a Day full of your own Beautiful and Brilliant Day Dreams ~

How About you?

Time To Go Inward ~ An Open Letter

Posted by Barefoot Baroness in Life in General, music posts and tagged with Eat Pray Love, Grief Loss and Bereavement, journaling, Open letter, Poetry, Relationship, Religion and Spirituality, risk, rodney crowell, Romance, Stories and Thoughts March 17, 2013

My Dear Loved One;

Please forgive this open letter, I did not know how else to reach you, and although this is a selfish act on my part I do hope and pray that just my few words and the song I include speaks to your spirit that I know is still searching.

My hope is you will understand that this which you are going through will all be worth the pain and the struggle someday when you look back. I pray that you will come out the other side someone you like enough to know you deserve to be loved in a healthy, loving, and kind way. Though I am unable to be there for you for what ever reasons, your choice, or mine, please know that I am trusting there is a great chance you will read this.

As the song will tell you; Time To Go Inward.. I am not denying the incredible hard work on your part it is going to take. If you do, although a journey, I think you are going to like the you that you are going to find there. I hope & pray you have the nerve.

Our healing, yours and mine will begin once you are well.

This song I believe will speak to your heart in ways I cannot because of who I am to you. That is why we process and assimilate through music, is it not? My tone may sound reserved, it is. I do not trust my emotion here and it certainly is not the platform for it anyway.

For tonight, for today, let it be enough that you know I love you, that this will never change. It could not. Know that you are in my prayers and my positive thoughts continuously. You know how much faith I have in this belief.

I have just as much faith in you.

POSTSCRIPT: (Added March 29, 2013 after speaking via phone)

To you My Loved One: you reaching out tells me the one thing I needed to know now from you, That you are in a better place today than you have been in a very long time. Today is all that matters for now. It may be all that ever matters. You have always my unconditional love always, sometimes that means having to love from a far. But it never diminishes the love held. Thank you for doing what you are doing. This too shall pass, and things will once again shine more brilliantly for you than you ever thought would happen again. Trust me.. but more importantly trust something more powerful than either of us.
I love you. I am so proud of you. Your personal cheering squad~

Sculpting With Paper

Paper Sculpting

My next coveted paper adventure in extreme. As the video shows you. This is what I am aspiring next to do with simply paper and an Exact -o-Knife™ with a single sheet of glass underneath for my cutting surface. That’s it!

I want to venture into a new phase by taking what I do with molding, sculpting, and folding so that I can to alter paper from flat sheet to something 2D next. I believe my love of architecture plays a role in my desire to sculpt and build with paper. I have been gearing up for this by creating 2d flowers out of just paper and a spot of adhesive.

This is a whole new concept on sculpting,

I have done some 2D work. I love to create paper flowers such as these paper roses I do. Being able to be whimsical in the color schemes that Mother Nature just does not grow herself is empowering. I decide.

I have lately been working on creating a hydrangea and a daffodil (narcissus) but have nothing that qualifies for a photo shoot just yet.

My ambition to do paper sculpture is a progression of what I do, I like how life works that way adding new lessons when we are open to them. The flowers, mini-fans, mini-handbags, mini canvases that I am able to spatially see is what I will need for creating the different effects I want. I am fascinated by the nature of the pulp fibers in paper and how they interact with different paper weights and different mediums. It is baffling just how they can be manipulated.

While on the subject of what the lowly, but ever so lovely sheet of paper can do I’ll share some Spring Vibes with the Easter cards I created for the little egg hunters in my life. I believe the kids will enjoy the cards, and the adults will simply smile.

After a couple of months of deeply ensconced topics here at Lady Barefoot Baroness my feelings are that something on the lighter note are needed, so this it shall be. This time in my life is being dedicated to chasing my dreams, both old & new. In fact there is a common thread in my life … Keep reading →

I Was Not All That I Am

Posted by Barefoot Baroness in Life in General and tagged with American Dream, April 2011, athentic life, dream, Dream Journals, Dream Sharing, Hope, Person, Psychology, Self-help book, Social Sciences, Thought, truth seekers February 24, 2013

Having found this initial piece of narrative about myself, my life, and life in general that was started back in April of 2011 has affected me deeply. The thoughts, all exposing very personal feeling are ones I wrestled with for some time. Feelings about living a truthful authentic life which I touch on often here at Barefoot Baroness.

Almost 2 years ago I started this, and then left it. I believe now unbeknownst to me I have been waiting to summarize it, for this day to come. I needed to live 2 more years, to grow more, while major changes needed to come my way. I just did not have the clarity then, that I do today. I find it validating, albeit incredibly heart tugging even today. I will admit to looking back and doubting, but now to see that my dreams have always remained intact, with now an additional element I had not been introduced to at the time is comforting. I am blessed. I know I am the person I have always been, now just unfettered. I know how I need & want to celebrate my life. It is just how I get there that is the adventure & the puzzle.

I have been thinking about what the reason is for sharing this now that I have finished it. I tried telling myself that maybe it is because it might strike a chord in your life and if so a good thing to share. But truth be told, I began second guessing myself. Speaking about this with a loved one I realized I was thinking of not posting this because I would risk appearing vulnerable at that point in my life. However with encouragement from my loved one; and my own belief that by saying something out loud, I am making this a more open and honest oath to live my life as authentically & significantly as I can.

So here goes…

Original Post & date of: 4 April 2011

To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are”

– Anonymous

I have a thing for quotes. Just as I do for self-help books, creative folk art, fine art that includes script, art books, spiritual devotional reading, female authors who say something that resonate something deeply within, music & poetry; just to list a few “things” I have a thing for that help shape my thoughts on all things that matter. Finding a group or groups of words written, sang, or spoken that teach me is not a random event. I have been processing my life and the world I live in this way ever since I can remember.

This quote is no different. This was a perfect prompt for me.

“To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are”
And so I wonder if I am wasting the person I am?

Do I question and second guess myself too often? How easily and willingly do I back off when confronted about my convictions? Have I always been the Who that I am today? How did I become so angry? How did I become so fake? To show the world one side of my face for a few hours at a time? To pretend everything is just peachy. What ever happened to the simple joy I once had just for the pureness of living day-to-day? It has been so long since I really laughed. Where did the joy for laughter go?

I really want to know.

I am often reflecting on where I am in life, and what happened to the significance of living like I should. Do I maybe have a different idea about what the “dream” really is all about? Is it very different from what it was many years ago? Very different from most people in my world, that I can say with great certainty.

Or could it be the dream has always stayed the same, and it is I that has changed? I that let go of chasing the hopes for my dreams to be realized one day?

I have let go. I just stopped because it became pointless. I thought. I tried to tell myself that these things that do not matter to anyone else, they should need not matter to me.

But I have been terribly wrong.

My Dreams of who I wanted to become was changed many moons ago, by a storm that went through my life leaving dust in its wake. The person and the dream I had originally been striving to reach completely was struck off course by life’s bizarre sense of humor.

Or was it really the dream I was meant to live? Maybe this has all not been for naught. I have gained much wisdom about the person, the woman, I am meant to be, not the one I tried to be. Maybe one day I can apply it.

I know it sounds a bit glib. This person I tried to be, working so hard to be, was in the end not someone I could be satisfied with, or proud of. This person is not even the real me. I am an imposter. This person is some others idea’s or composition of what they wish I should be.

How did I ever let this happen? Why did I ever let go? I think I am ashamed of this fake person I have become. I’m not comfortable in my skin.. Authentically living my life I AM NOT! I know the angry woman who is buried here is not me. I have to send her away.

I need to find the peaceful & loving me again. I think she is still there.

Today 24, February 2013 ~ I add:

Reading past entries I see that I needed to not live lies. I cannot be someone I am not, not for very long anyway before it starts to erode my peace of mind. I need to be the authentic truth in my life no matter whether I like it, it is difficult, or if others around me are frowning upon it.

Why are we so concerned with what others do with their own lives, but rarely spend any time in self-reflection about our own? Why do we want or feel the need to change others, instead of be a compliment to them?

Living up to some others idea of what directions my life should go, who I might be, this is not a fair exchange of emotions with anyone. It has even been cheating myself out of the person I am, I am wasting all that I worked so hard to understand about myself.

I, in this time turned my back on the authentic truth of who I am. I think it was just easier to not make waves. But even those around me who I love are cheated. How could it be not so? When there are lies behind the fake smile? The lies I pretended were alive and well. But I found it is also exhausting,. It may have even affected health issues.

I don’t think anyone in my life wanted to cause me harm or hurt. This is so not about blame in any way. Blame is wasted energy.

But those in my immediate life just will never accept the changes I needed to make. I know that.

I know that when I step up to home plate to strike out, or to try for that solid home run the young woman inside me who had ideals and dreams will now meet this mature woman I’ve become. Those in my immediate life will never allow changes to happen without feeling threatened. There is a strange irony I see now in hindsight, it is that maybe I taught those in my immediate personal life how to treat me. I recognize no one is culpable for this but myself.

I am an adult. I have strong beliefs and convictions in who I am. Somehow and in some way I have found the fortitude and courage to hit that home run by moving on with my life. Being honest for the first time in a very long time about who I am I have bridged my young woman’s beliefs with those of my adult, mature, and more experienced beliefs and ideals.

And…. My Dreams? They’re alive and well.

The door to Hope was opened again for me. I am blessed .~

Me & The Blues

Deciphering life through music is an empowering way to express one’s self, a cathartic way to analyze one’s thoughts & feelings, and a way to examine and self inventory.

To feel joy through a song that reminds you of a special celebration , a favorite road trip, or maybe true love is something we may take for granted. Or the heartbreak ‘ripping the heart out’ kind of tune.There is a reaction between the body, brain, & heart. A chemical reaction,

I’d Love To Change The World.

Gandhi’s Top Ten Fundamentals

For Changing the World/Your World

1.) Change Yourself

2.) You are in Control

3.) Forgive & Let go.

4.) Without action you aren’t going anywhere
