🌺 On Becoming Who You Are
( 📷 by Erin Bardua, AT for Musicians Workshop, Mount Allison University)
🌺 I find inspiration on every page of Alexander Technique teacher Tommy Thompson’s book, Touching Presence. I wanted to share this entire passage with you. It’s about trusting yourself. Whether you are singing or dancing or performing or playing an instrument or parenting or teaching or leading or public speaking, trust your experience. Trust your skill and knowledge, trust that you are enough, you are exactly right for what you are called to do in this moment.
🌺 “In the end, all of the work is about you, and who you wish to share with another. You can run around looking for things - for love, esteem, etc. But really you just need to share who you are. You use all of what you learn in a training to discover and share who you actually are. ...
🌺 “Trust who you as a person have become through your willingness to grow and give away what you have learned. Trust yourself. For me the work, the teaching, is about learning to trust the ever-evolving birthing of yourself, and of appreciating the fluid nature of identity.” - Tommy Thompson, Touching Presence
