Asya: the Art of Being

Artofbeing

AsyaThe Soul catches a creative flow and expresses self in different ways. Where this creative flow is taking me now with lots of passion is to creating short videos / films. I would love to share some with the Openhand community...

I woke up this morning with the inner calling to write the letter to the Soul, to my own soul. It was clearly some part of me wanting to say something to the soul... But the question arouse in the middle of the process - who is then writing if the letter is addressed to my soul? Is this an ego? I was reading again and again that letter till I understood that it's time for me as a soul to acknowledge herself... It may sound weird, but I appreciate this letter as a creative expression and felt to share it with the community.

Dear Star Soul,

You were created of the star dust in dreams of the One. You've had travelled the long way through the eons of cosmic lives and battles, through the experiences of winning and losing. Many times you have been beaten, wounded and almost destroyed. You were rising times again and again from the dust of battles and sharpening your sword with Faith, Truth, Unconditional Love and Compassion. Through tiredness and hardship you've gained your inner strength, you've got to know your inner light - your source of power - so well.

Over the time of your existence you’ve been very well trained and prepared for the particular mission that you've volunteered to take on. Now you are here on this planet, conditioned on arrival to forget all you knew before. You have already seen many lives in this place to understand twists and turns of the ongoing machinations. You've gone a good deal through this school of survival in a densest environment.

You see... there is no way for the soul to forget her own frequencies. Deep at the core of you you carry that knowing of who you really are. You carry the naturally imprinted memory of how to use your sword of light - your radiating soul frequencies. So, today I honour you, the Shining One.

With deep love from Asya ❤🙏

Asya, reading that letter to your soul felt as if it was speaking to my soul.   It's so beautiful and uplifting and reminds me we're all One in this.  Thank you for sharing, it really touched me deeply to remember things I've forgotten during this tough journey on Earth.  Your inspiration inspired me.

Much love, Heart

This is another deeply moving sharing Asya 👌

I'm sure many can resonate with it.

And whose writing? If not the separated ego, then it would most likely be the Ray 3 of the soul itself - that which commentates on experience.

Tremendous - thanks for the share.

Open 🙏

As I said elsewhere Asya, I found this video compelling and hypnotic in a soft, soothing way. I think you have combined the elements of music, narrative and sweeping film very sensitivity to produce a dreamy, artistic effect. I felt expanded and inspired by watching it and you movement, as always, is a joy to see. If you carry on like this, who knows what amazing heights you will achieve. I've been drawn to reengage with the forest lately and this has inspired me to do so.

Thank you.

I had a strong feeling lately that the Universe is wanting me to finally finish my biggest so far filmed project - the inspirational video which I was working on since the Summer, at least. I got the inspiration from the nature to create the short film (one of many :) ) about how do I feel to nurture the soul but it took a long while to figure it out how could I show to others what I feel when walking in the forest, for example. Not sure though if succeeded in that but here it is - happy to share with community my "newborn" Slightly Smiling

What happens if we take to the forest only ourselves? Alone...

What if we fully immerse in the surrounding greenness?

Imagine the forest like a huge bath and dive into it for a different exploration.

Taking time to reconnect with the nature, with our body, our senses, feelings and emotions.

Not simply walking through the woods or hiking, but engaging our five senses at each moment of experience.

Sight: Fully engaging in what we see, to the very finest detail

Smell: Focusing on breathing, slowly inhaling fresh air. Can you smell not only the flower but the moss, for example, or the bark of a tree?

Touch: walking bare feet, slowly stepping on the green bed of moss or the thick layer of pine needles, touching with hands as much as possible

Taste: taking some natural herbal tea with us and enjoying the taste of it in the environment where it, possibly, came from

Hear: the forest is never quiet, always full of sounds. Staying silent, not being engaged in talking to someone, but focused on what the forest is speaking to us. Can you hear the whisper of the wind, the crackle of trees?

How it may feel to be a bird or an animal?

To inspire more activities and how to spend time with selves in the nature I included in the film some body movement expressions to animate the impression of the possible emotional release.

To my personal view (and experience) the "forest bathing" is one of the most efficient ways to get the upliftment in this dense world full of conditioning, reasoning, distortions, control and so on. To me the forest (all the nature, but the forest particularly) is the place where I can relax the mind, release the emotions and connect to the higher dimensions at easiest.

I wish you enjoy watching Praying Emoji

This is absolutely inspirational Asya. Beautiful and breaktaking. What a thing to watch in the early morning! The video paused at exactly 1:11 when you said come! I think the forest must be calling for me! I will watch for that sychronicity. 

I liked the slow pace of the video, the quiet music in the background, your soothing voice, the picturesque forest. It came together to create a beautiful feeling.

That's wonderful synchronicity,  Vimal. I checked the video to realise that really on the 1:11 minute it says "come". Even more interesting that your comment came to my email box at exactly 1:11am UK time! And I see the time of your comment posted here at 1:11 too. The universe is trying to say something to me too.

I love watching your videos too, most of all where you play or incorporate your music. I like words of your songs, they are powerfull. Also how you present self in the surroundings of the nature. Your expression is very clear and brings important messages to us. 

Thank for sharing this 🙏

That's beautiful Asya. That synchronicity and the video inspired me to go out which resulted in a wonderful experience. That's the power of soul expressions! 

Thank you for your kind words. That's beautiful reflections for my soul.

This is an extraordinary composition Asya - what a marvellous piece of work.
The visuals are stunning, you've captured tremendous footage with inspirational light infusions.
But then the way you wove it together with the music and soft vocals was a tonic for the soul - a full immersion experience.

All I can say is, keep creating!

Hi Asya, t's almost like hearing the trees speaking through you, very inviting...

I realy enjoy the narrative and the softness of your vocal expression. For me, the most inspiring is the feeling sense of your connection to the forest and how the video is flowing through it all, with ease. To me it feels like a gentle movement of your centred expression. OK Hand Sign

I wish to take some of this sensitivity with me as I am bathing in "the woods".  Thank you so much for sharing, it touched something deeper within mePraying Emoji

Thank you for sharing this beautiful, inspirational video Asya. It took me back to the ancient wood I used to walk in most days before I moved and which I miss very much - I could almost smell it! With the beautiful photography and simple but profoundly inspirational words it really did feel like I was walking in the woods myself and left me feeling peaceful and uplifted. I think you captured it beautifully. You have such a wonderful gift be be able to  share your joy and upliftment in nature in this wayPraying Emoji

We have most beautiful souls here in the Openhand community - what we gathered here for is to support and inspire each other.

Vimal, Open, Miha and Pam many thankyous for your lovely feedback - it only encourages and gives more inspiration to move forward on the path of creation and expression of the soul frequencies. My greatest joy is when people find some resonance or something new to add to their living routines from what's been shared in my videos. It doesn't cost money but it brings a great value in return, in a form of energy. This is priceless!

Wishing to all Openhanders have powerful breakthroughs and find a source of upliftment within selves and in reflections from others.

With loving heart ❤️ 

Asya

I feel to share with the community my new intuitively created video for 10 min meditation which came out without any intention, on its own, if I may say so....

I went to the forest for calming relaxation and meditation, have no idea how the main part of this video was filmed as I was in quite a meditative state, just intuitively holding the camera and letting it travel through greenness.

To me it feels very calming the mind and healing, this is what effect the short-wave green colour really has. I myself am using this meditation for purification of the mind and preparation to enter deeper layers, to me it works very well as a "starter" before having the "main course" - more advanced meditations from Openhand. Or I can simply watch it when going to bed before sleep.

I hope you enjoy it watching with the relaxed eyesight and letting go of judgment from the mind of what seeing.

With all my love 

Asya

Thank you  for the reminder to allow the green to calm and clear the mind and the visual pathways.  Here in Sedona we are red rocks, bright sunshine and blue sky, with the evergreens.  It is so refreshing, literally, to see the delicate, moist, tender greens.  We are having a wonderfully powerful wet monsoon season, with crashing thunderstorms moving through each afternoon.  I live below Thunder Mountain, which is accurately named, as it echos the crashing thunder bursts.  As a result of so much moisture, little green sprouts are popping up everywhere from the seeds that lie dormant during the dry seasons.  

Sometimes I crave the lower light of the dappled forest and the moist green shadows.  In your video I could almost smell the freshness!  

Thank you for the beauty and refreshment!

Much love, 

Meredith

Oh Asya, that was so beautiful. It really blessed me, Thankyou for sharing.

At 9.22 it was like I saw a formless light being amongst the greenery.

The music was well woven together too.

Just magic! 

Much Love 

Erin 💚⚘

Thank you, Meredith and Erin, for the lovely feedback! 

When creating this I was holding in my heart those who may not have easy access to the fresh moist green nature's environment. That's wonderful Meredith that you picked up.

Well spotted Erin the light being... It was the place where the inner guidance brought me to meditate and it felt exactly as you say. There is another footage from there reflecting the amazing energy coming through and it felt as a particular connection guiding to create this meditation video. Your ability to tune in is impressive.

Sending love from the depths of my heart

Asya
