Why Voice #7 - The beauty of an open voice, body and mind

Last week I had the pleasure of teaching an acting workshop for a group of 25 18-22 year olds and it was truly inspiring.
When you are an aspiring actor/artist it seems like you have a thousand questions with no answers, and the chaos of dealing with that uncertainty takes heaps and heaps of courage.
I salute you for daring to show up with all that you are - it makes me think of this great quote and let that be the blog this week as an after thought of what happens to you after you have reconnected with yourself.

Our Greatest Fear by Marianne Williamson:

it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other

people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

—Marianne Williamson
