to Unclutch

Hallo everyone! So sorry I haven't been writing these pass few days. I will make it up to you.
So today we had our first Marching Band competetion. You are probebly thinking. Oh please not all her talk about her band agian! But today I have something very spiritual. So we drove the two hours to the competetion in Centerville. We got there did our warmup, dressing, hairspray, hats, gauntlets and gloves. All that stuff and then go lined up two by two to march onto the field. We were next. Now I don't get stage fright really, I mean I can easily just stand up and talk in front of a hundred people with no problem, but this was differnt. As we heard the drum clicks by belly got butterflys, and my mind totally started racing. "I don't think we are good enough yadda yadda." Then I just had the thought "well that is really stupid (to be thinking like that." I went into my Ananda Ghanda a energy center that is between your heart and belly button. Mine was activated by Swamiji so I am able to access it's energy and heal people. At the same time it help to 'heal' other things. Well this was working pretty well for a few seconds, but even though I had fallen into that chakra, and it was helping with the butterflys my mind was still racing, and on top of that I couldn't fully focus on only my Ananda Ghanda because, well I had to march in step, holding my flute perfectly, you know, I hope. Well I started to uncluth, or simply let go of the thoughts in mind. A technique I learned directly from Swamiji in India. My thoughts were instantly cleared! Even I was amazed.

We continued to march forward. We where now through the gates and onto the track that surrounds that football field. We marched about a quarter of the way around it when I kinda had a mantal freakout, sunddenly I thought. "If I where Swamiji right now what would I do?" My first thought was Swamiji would never be in my spot, but I quickly let that one go and my mind came up with something else for me.
If I where Swamiji right now I would be totaly unworried, and relaxed. On top of that I would be having sooooo much fun, and I simply decided to do it! Then I did, and it just felt so good. Like I didn't have to worry anymore about getting it right.
Well to make a long story short we didn't qualify in any classes or place. We got a 2, which stands for good. Not superior, but good. I was a little bit disapointed, but not that much. During the show I was so clear what to do and when. And my mind was totaly black excpet for making sure I was doing the right move, and ocasionly reminding myself about a coming move that I normally forget. See the thing is I am not to good with techniques like those two. the first two are very quiet for me, and I honestly never tried the third one in a big situation like that. So I just wanted to tell all you of that interesting exspirence. the picture is when I got henna done to my hands in India. Thank You Swamiji!!!!!
