Hive Open Mic ( #openmic ) is a global community celebrating live music on Hive. Each week is a new event, encouraging musicians to share songs with an international audience.
In the Hive Open Mic community, we practice various forms of creative expression. Some of us express light language. Whether we're carrying an old religious hymn, or an original song from the heart, we bring love and light. It streams through the message, the melody, and the frequency.
Today I'm studying frequency. To me, frequency is a subtle vibration, or feeling, or impulse. Frequency is Energy, Flow, and Presence. When we're present with a frequency, we may experience resonance, dissonance, or neutrality. When we carry a frequency, we can either hold it in silence or we can amplify it by vocalizing and verbalizing.
Years ago, I asked one of my teachers, "Where does music come from?" He answered by telling me that it all comes from the same place: Source Energy. This is what we're tuning into when we hold a frequency. This is the subtle essence that we substantiate through the songs we sing.
Source Energy is always here. If we are quiet enough to listen, then it speaks to us, and if we are willing to give it a voice, it speaks through us. In the same way, if we close our eyes and envision it, then we can make it into a visionary image on a canvas, or bring it to form. In this way, each of us expands upon Creation.
It is an honor to be an artist. Some of us find it burdensome at times, as we're all familiar with the "starving artist" programming. To be honest, I almost gave up in recent months. I got caught up in the whirlwind of striving and hustling to earn a living, because my videography business slowed to the point of a standstill. Happy to say my costs are covered today. I'm grateful for the spaciousness that comes by Grace, allowing me to create. This is where I'm coming from as I express myself.
