Practice VII: Composition of sung or written poems. More>>
This activity continues to work on
understanding and experiencing the importance of realizing how we feel at this
moment because it is the way in which we will perceive the things or tasks
that we carry out at the current moment.
Poetry seeks to express emotions and
their relationships. We are facing a powerful emotional facilitator that helps
us connect the emotional aspects with the verbal ones.
What we are looking for is that
during this course we can verify the multitude of means that we can use to
become aware of our interior and how it acts internally and externally.
Objective:
To observe with conscious attention how emotions affect the way of interpreting
art.
Materials:
Wide clothes, emotional diary and pencil.
Description:
Each person contributes a word. We proceed to the elaboration of a poem with
the list of words acquired. Each poem does not have to be very long. Now the
words cannot be repeated.
What is sought is to allow the creation
of art. The composition should not follow any particular metric. We must place
ourselves fully in the activity.
No expectation of the text or the song is sought.
The key to mindfulness is being aware of when a thought, image, sound, emotion, etc. appears that separates us from our goal at that moment, being able to reconnect with what needs to be done at that moment.
We must remember that observing our mind is the state and content of the situation, without making judgments or evaluations (actions that appear naturally).
It always ends with a personal reflection that is transferred to the diary.
