a flautist in dreams

For longer than I can remember, I’ve had significant anxiety in the morning my funny little brain loves to think about every single thing it can right when it realizes it’s awake. So after years of experiencing this, I have used certain strategies to help my anxious mornings. Sometimes it’s waking up and immediately going for a walk other times it’s stretching etc. Then about six years ago I started a Breathwork practice and I’ve been doing it as steadily as a can but sometimes forget how effective it is. The funny thing about this breath work practice is that I actually always really wanted to whistle through it I wanted to create sound for some reason. About year ago I would do this breathing practice and then day dream about luminous shapes playing flutes. I then started to whistle after the breathing practice and all of this led up to actually playing my flute. Playing a wind instrument definitely forced me to become more conscious of my breath from that lovely relaxed and opened inhalations too the sharp intense controlled exhalations. This is the respiratory workout that I always wanted, and my lungs are now becoming a refined tool that I can use musically. The power of the breath with a flute is such a peaceful meditation.
