Esperanza Spalding - 12 Little Spells
Notes from Esperanza about 12 Little Spells:
"12 Little Spells" (Thoracic Spine)Esperanza Spalding - To Tide Us Over
grounded sensation of perpetual connection with the immensity of the external world.
for increased oxygen and circulatory support from the external world to anatomical and/or energetic lungs and heart. Via sensations of the conversational exchange - circulation - between the abundant “outside” and our internal body. Grounding the sensation of infinite exchange with external systems of support, in the bellows of our rib-cage cavity, mounted on the spinal pole.
Notes from Esperanza about To Tide Us Over:
"To Tide Us Over" (Mouth)
tide like swelling forth- via language- of inner perceptions, hopes and revelations...
For the ability to speak sweet-water clarity during a flood of un-potable, and indescribable feelings and experiences.Esperanza Spalding - Til The Next Full
Notes from Esperanza about Til The Next Full:
"Til the Next Full" (Eyes)
x-ray vision through presentational reality to Source within the interior of all matter(s)...Esperanza Spalding - Thang
For increasing a sense of possibility that sustains vision through the illusory “un-fulfillment” stages, inherent in all development periods. Aides in revealing the hidden potentials behind ‘sight’ based perception filling the faculty of sight.
Notes from Esperanza about Thang:
"Thang" (Hips)
release of tension in, or rejection of, the hips shape/design with sense of sinking into the mechanism of the hip sockets' natural range of motion while walking...
For moving into the fullness of one’s individuality, their “thang” expressed in the unique gait of an un-inhibited stride.Esperanza Spalding - Touch In Mine
Notes from Esperanza about Touch In Mine:
"Touch in Mine" (Fingers)
heightened faculty of trans-touch sense perception in finger-tips...Esperanza Spalding - The Longing Deep Down
For increasing the level of tenderness in one’s touch, and perceiving and comprehending communication exchanges between animate or in-animate surfaces and the fingertips. increases the sensitivity to vibrational conversation, neurogamy and empathetic response between two or more individuals touching. aides in becoming aware of the energetic exchanges between the fingertips, fingers and palms when they come in contact with any surface (animate or in-animate). To listen with touch, through surfaces, and decipher the information emitted from them.
Notes from Esperanza about The Longing Deep Down:
"The Longing Deep Down" (Abdominal Portal)
lessening of the fear of drowning in hidden dark waters, pooled in the depths of self-hood...Esperanza Spalding - You Have To Dance
For willingness to stretch ones feet into the depths of personal pain, shame, loneliness and desire. Promise of stepping stones laid along the bottom of that dark river, that meet the daring foot, dissolve terror and form a submerged path leading to the fountain mouth of true belonging, being and purpose.
Notes from Esperanza about You Have To Dance:
"You Have to Dance" (Feet)
ability to move one’s feet freely in accompaniment with the movement of one’s inner feeling and/or musical stimulus (internal or external)...Esperanza Spalding - Now Know
For un-locking, releasing and sending -through movement- the magic in one’s own body.
Notes from Esperanza about Now Know:
"Now Know" (Solar Portal)
sensation across the mid riff of a gill and/or eyelid opening which breathes and/or peers in 4 directions: heavenly dimension in/earthly plane out, and, earthly plane in/heavenly dimension out...Esperanza Spalding - All Limbs Are
For opening the portal connecting heaven and earth, the eye of intuition. Inward vision of heaven contained within, transmitting sight to earth plane (and vice-versa) widening the lid to the blue orb of divinity, socketed in the midriff.
Notes from Esperanza about All Limbs Are:
"All Limbs Are" (Arms)
the embrace of masculine sacred felt cradling the shoulders and arms...Esperanza Spalding - Readying To Rise
For relieving the loneliness and disorientation felt from the absence of fathers. To experience the connection to lineage trees growing through one’s limbs, and experience the presence of masculine support and expansion through one’s own arm bones.
Notes from Esperanza about Readying To Rise:
"Readying to Rise" (Legs)
a physical remembering of steps taken, physically or existentially, which may have been forgotten by conscious memory...Esperanza Spalding - Dancing The Animal
For recognizing progress one has made, but doesn’t feel. Affirms that every step taken has added up to the present point, and that effort exerted is forever contained in the memory of the legs. enables the forward leaning mind to listen to the legs when the legs offer guidance-from their memory mappings of distance traveled- by recalling each step taken thus far.
Notes from Esperanza about Dancing The Animal:
"Dancing the Animal" (Mind)
thought, inquiry and analysis momentarily surrender to experiential presence and response...Esperanza Spalding - With Others
For remembering the perfected animal buried in the cultural programs of thought processes, belief systems, and thought-based searching. Expels the tyrants of hamster-ball concern loops or stimulation loops imposing themselves on our minds via smartphones, Youtube, google and social media. Triggers the memory of grace, and whets the sensory appetite for intra-personal regard, and Self-cultivated esteem.
Notes from Esperanza about With Others
"With Others" (Ears)
disarmament of defenses and weaponry built around love-induced vulnerability...Connect direct with Esperanza Spalding at EsperanzaSpalding.Com, https://twitter.com/EspeSpalding, Instagram.com/esperanzaspalding and Facebook.com/EsperanzaSpalding
