Vimalfreesoul - being the flow
Dear Openhanders,
Its my passion to connect with presence - our eternal true nature and express myself from that place through music, videos and writings. I feel absolutely blessed to have such a wondrous evolving community of ascending souls to support my journey at this crucial time on our collective evolution. Here are some of my creations. I hope we can inspire each other through this forum.

I spent the last several days camping in a forest above a mountain with a view of the city below. I suppose the motivation for having this experience was curiosity—how does my energy feel away from human matrix programming? Will I be able to connect much more strongly with other multidimensional energies?
I realized in society, we are continuously reconfirmed as an identity—a person with a name, gender, and so on. It's only natural that we've learned to accept and identify with this. But I was receiving a different reflection in the forest. There was no one there to confirm the identity. The forest mother, with all her love, does not need me to be her son! As a result, I was able to get closer to my true self. I had to investigate several aspects of this identity consciousness. Identification with one's gender is significant. In my childhood, I was considered a boy, and in my adolescence, I was labeled a man. Yes, in this incarnation, but what about the previous times when I was a woman or a girl?
There was no shortage of reptilian or BS reflected in the forest. I had made an affiliation with these energies due to the above identifications. Of course, the energies are just there to serve this identity. That's their purpose! The reptilian was 'earning' me respect, worthiness, power, and admiration, among other things. Where these identifications with the masculine were present, letting go is regarded as a sign of weakness. Is it necessary for the "One" in me to bear them in order to gain such external validation? After several illuminations, I could make peace with the identity and this interfering consciousness, which was serving a common purpose—bringing unconsciousness to light. As the judgments dissolved, I witnessed that these energies were much more willing to leave my field and go where they belonged.
A piece from my tent had separated - green snake?
On the first day, I tried to go to the mountain with a few fellow Openhanders, but there was a strong response from Gaia. On the way, a tree uprooted and crashed down, missing us by an inch. It was simple to conclude that I was not destined to carry out my intentions, and it also fed some anxiety I had been harboring. One of the main concerns was that I would get attacked by some wild animal. However, upon deeper inquiry, it catalyzed some loosening of rigidity surrounding the entire notion of moving and meditating for a few days. After that, it became more of a curiosity play and flow in action.
I sense there are intervention energies that can easily hijack the soul Impulses to fit us within their own agendas and we need to be constantly inquiring about the right action. The impulse to go was still pretty strong. I also felt strong supportive energy from Gaia and Forest mother. - a sense of love, protection, and guidance. I knew I would be looked after.
I actually became sick on the first day by trying to jam everything according to my mind's perspective. I had to learn to let go and be okay with a bit of chaos and a lot of uncertainty. But, as I imagined, as the fever subsided on the second day, the connection with the elements took center stage. I was enjoying Gaia's loving support and nurture, unconditionally accepting my mistakes, and caring wholeheartedly. That's what I felt in my heart. Many distinct layers of karma were activated, including failure, abandonment, annihilation, perfection, and the burden of responsibility. I guess the reason I'm still here!
It was poignant that the spot where I used to sit for meditation was surrounded by four trees connected by three metal cables to a larger tree. Humans' ignorance in treating this sentient life as if it were a piece of wood post! The large tree on the cliff edge appeared to be ready to leap off at any time. The first and second wires had weakened, but the third wire remained rather strong. This, I believe, refers to being related to karma primarily through the mental plane.
Away from the hold of the matrix, I was seeing more visions than ever. One of the visions in a meditation appeared significant. I witnessed the slope collapse, with trees falling on both sides, yet a bridge had been created in the center. Humanity is being invited to cross the bridge. However, the bridge eventually became a tunnel through which souls traveled at the speed of light. I'm curious if this possibly symbolizes the soul harvesting that can occur when souls are drawn into a 4D collective energy? This has been a recent inquiry I have been having.
I did an experiment on the last full moon while sitting beside the fire. I shifted between connecting with Gaia and the moon's energy. I did this several times to make sure I was not projecting my beliefs onto the feelings. I guess my mind still needs this trial and error to fully trust my feelings. But the result was unequivocal. Every time Gaia came to my consciousness, my heart would open to expansive loving energy in the heart, but the moon would contract me down, especially in the sacrum and the third eye! I assume we carry these impacts into our field most of the time without realizing it.
I also carried out another experiment. I asked my body if I felt like eating something specific at this moment, and it would constrict down in the sacrum. When I thought about fasting, my body would respond by opening up. This is something I will do my best to remember, especially when presented with difficult choices. I could simply ask my heart and body! I wondered if I could live like this forever, just connecting with Gaia and getting away from the program, but the fire elemental had a different message, emphasizing that being in the thick of it and bringing my light to illuminate the relationships with others is when the higher self comes down to meet the lower!
It's fascinating how being away from distractions such as social media can elevate consciousness, and then many things in nature can speak to our soul. I'm leaving my tent and other equipment here as I go down tomorrow so that I can come back and spend a few more days. Perhaps the forest has more messages for me?

Striking that balance between knowing we’re all just actors in a grand cosmic play, where most of the other actors have forgotten it’s just a play, and the reality of flesh, blood, fate and feelings in a 3D matrix is quite a task. It’s especially when those that should know the most, your nearest and dearest, betray and convolute your truth and essence to the most diabolic of absurdities, that the immortal soul is at its closest to source. We look out to the other and all we see are delusions or fantasies. The only rational solution I have personally found, to transmute my own souls dilemma, is to thrash the shadows out on stage within the sacred containment of dramatherapy, accompanied by legitimised wild and semi naked dancing like a mad person. The 3d egoic straight jacket has long been abandoned. I’ve unplugged from the matrix there's no pretending. And I’m going to party like it’s 1999 🌈
I'm free (original song)
Comment
Dear Soul family, here is a new song and video - I'm free. I worked on it with much passion and patience. For me what really gets me moving is the dance of different soul ray harmonics in the creative process. There is the ray 1 of moving towards an objective with passion but we also need to gear shift to surrendering and letting go of the objective otherwise the passion becomes distorted. There is also the magic where we can witness the divine guidance and things clicking into the place. Like for example some of the visuals where shot without any prior intention but wanted to fit in to the song effortlessly.
Honestly, many times during the video-making process I thought I was not free at all but also at times the song reminded me to transcend my own fears and connect with this freedom.
I was also reminded that it's easy to feel and believe we are free when everything is flowing well and when we are feeling the joy of existence. But how can we find freedom even through the tough and challenging experiences? After writing the song, I thought, perhaps the song should be "I'm is free" because the real freedom is found in the "I'm" by transcending the limiting identity and its beliefs.
I would like to thank Soumya, who has assisted with the camera and did a marvelous job. I recorded this into my camera mic, so I would recommend using headphones otherwise the sound would likely distort. Let me know what you think about the video.
Much love
Vimal

Trust, surrender, and merge with the flow
Comment
As the shift accelerates and I'm naturally connecting with higher-dimensional energies, there's so much more energy wanting to move through me. But what I find is that It can get a bit frustrating as this energy still has to be channeled through this narrow pipe of a physical body. It's hitting many layers of density inside, especially in the lower chakras. There is a feeling of being trapped in this dense emotional body while the soul in me is yearning for a higher existence and authentic expression.
Lately, I have been expressing these energies a lot through movement, sometimes dancing to powerful, emotive, high-energy songs or even screaming the energy out at times. Our landlords gifted us a "higher shelf" for the kitchen yesterday but instead wanted to keep some of their stuff in a box in one of our rooms. Space is being created in the physical and emotional to receive more information from the external, which in turn is opening up the higher paradigm.
Today, after such a process, I couldn't sit still in my room and wanted to hike through the nearby forest to the waterfall and later take a dip in it. I stopped on the way to a restaurant to grab a bite. There was an inquiry in mind about support and trust that needed some clarity. So I asked, "Show me," to the universe. Immediately I saw a guy wearing a t-shirt with a picture of Buddha on it, and he was carrying a leaning rest pad from a chair. That seemed like a direct reflection. I think I'm the monk still carrying the perspective of external support. But what I really wanted was to know how to break this internal chain. The lady near me touched the pink-colored top hanging on the ceiling on her way out, showing the presence of the 'internal mother' or Quan yin energy, which is the real source of support and love.
I had to halt my bike on the way to the forest because there was work going on and a JCB was removing large rocks from the road. I observed a man using a chisel to smash these rocks. I suppose these rocks are what I carry about in my emotional body, and I'm breaking them down one at a time. I parked my bike there and walked the rest of the way to the forest and beyond.
The forest was stunningly gorgeous, especially with the stream close by. I saw a green-colored citadel singing her song, and I paused and looked at her. Then it occurred to me, that I was supposed to sit and sing with her. As we both sang together, a primitive sound from my belly and upwards, I could feel the dense emotions dissipating and higher harmony and peace being restored. At this point, the citadel started climbing upward, signaling that the job was complete and I could ascend once more through the forest path. I felt an incredible sense of gratitude for this life and being able to connect with Mother Earth like this.
It still took me at least an hour to sit near the waterfall, contemplating whether to jump in or not. Finally, I had the courage to stand under the icy Himalayan water. I could feel every cell in my body screaming for release and comfort. Nevertheless, I persisted through the pain and kept softening the internal reaction. If I put words to the pain, it would translate to "I'm not good enough". This is perhaps a karmic imprint of carrying the burden of the mission of being a lightworker, bringing light into myself and the world. That is what the recent synchronicities were pointing to. A few minutes later, the pain subsided, and I was washed over with relief and humility. "I don't have to carry this weight. The flow will manage that. All I need is to trust, surrender, and merge with the flow".

Where the higher dimensional inflows hit the emotional body
In reply to Trust, surrender, and merge with the flow by Vimal
Comment
Hi Vimal - it's a colourful exploration and sharing - how to resolve inner blocking layers in a practical way 👍
I've found myself in a related exploration of late: the higher dimensional inflows are strong and fast, but in working to blend this authentic expression and action into the 3D, I've hit plenty of small frictions, than then can build stress in the emotional body. I'd say this happens to many, but the reactivity is suppressed through emotional comfort - like eating for example.
I'd say you chose the right approach though - to stay in the discomfort and take the cold plunge. It develops the emotional body, meaning we can embrace a greater degree of the frustration and not be defined by it. For me I'm taking a different approach - an emotional light language comes forth, which when I express, softens reactivity in the moment. It lets the higher light express through, even in the confinement of the 3D with it's clunky and slower speed.
Best wishes

Oh my divine
I bow to you
Oh grand design
I bow to you
Inside my mind
Angels and demons are alive
I trust in your light
To make the best of this life
I'm aching inside
To know your love again
Show me where I hide
And help me break my chains
Listen listen to me now
I'm in you and you in me
Seek and you shall find
The answers within your mind
I'm all around
Within every eyes and every smile
I'm all around
Within the clouds and a grain of sand
Let go and open your mind
And remember to be kind
To yourself and others alike
You are in me and I'm in you
Oh little child
I bow to you
Oh gracious kind
I bow to you

Cherukili (Little bird)
Comment
Around two years before River and I went to a waterfall during our nomadic journey. We met this beautiful little bird who reflected us the freedom we yearned to embody in our heart. Soon the yearning turned into a song - a conversation with the bird.
The little bird is soaring
Far far away from its home
The little bird is soaring
Hey bird where are you off to ?
The little bird is soaring
Dusk had fallen
The Sun had set
The Sky turned golden
The little bird has begun to fly.
The little bird is soaring
I'm not looking for a place to build a nest.
I'm neither looking for a mate
This journey itself is my home
This road itself is my destination
The little bird is soaring

Wow, Vimal. What a timely and exquisite video, so inspirational and beautifully balanced. I honour your mastery in bringing the elements together so skilfully and the profound message. I have been drifting, yet again, in the mental obsession of form, thinking that before I can do this, I must take certain steps, which of course are 'soulless' and take the joy and expression out of the activity. Together with Open's latest article about overcoming resistance to change and leaving safe ground, I feel inspired.
Much gratitude.

Dear Openhand community,
I have been working on a song and music video for the last couple of weeks. I would like to release it here. I have named it "Emerge" as it is inspired by my own process of dealing with shadow and density and emerging into the light through them, which I am sure everyone here can relate to.
It has been an exciting and challenging process of learning and relearning—writing, arranging, and producing the song on my own computer. A few days before, I found a couple of footage from Cottonbro Studio and weaved them into a music video. I hope you find it inspiring. Please remember to use headphones.
Much love

What can I say, Vimal, you're going from height to height. Such a stylish offering, beautifully sung and accompanied by lithe, beautiful dancers, a celebration of our journey with compassion and forgiveness. The central character at the end was dressed in white and surrounded by supporting ladies. This speaks to me of the rising feminine into balance, and of universal guidance leading the prepared soul to the higher light. It speaks of the carefree dance of soul flow, experiencing, learning but ever moving forward..
I honour your work.

Light will find it's way!
Comment
The mind is a problem solving mechanism. Mostly it's all it can concentrate, the supposedly different problems in life and how to solve it and move forward in life. I think this is the matrix way of looking at life which is deeply conditioned in the brain.
How to work with it?
One reflection that came through a session I had is to be able to hold the unresolved problem in the mind without thinking of the solution. I think when we are focused on the problem, then we are coming from a sense of lack rather than the soul. To articulate this in Openhand fashion..
Notice the boulders but focus on the path of light.
The above realisation once again came in through the interaction. Trust is the key here. To be able to trust that if I just let go the need to know the answers, understand, articulate and find the solutions but be in the path of light through it, then the light will find a way through it in a way which the mind couldn't expect. This is the art of surrender but active participation in life.
So each problem, each mishaps, every challenges becomes an opportunity for a deeper surrender and coming home. Only place that makes any sense.
I think being able to be grateful for the positive things in life is a game changer. Being able to appreciate the beauty of mother earth, the loved ones, being able to walk, breathe, eat, smell a flower. Then there is also the gratitude for the challenges in life because they help us grow and evolve and appreciate more of the simple things in life!

Releasing identity, Reframing perspectives and Expressing being
Comment
I'd been pretty busy for the past week because I'd been attending a terrestrial Bhuddist retreat. This is the first terrestrial retreat I've attended in the last 9 years of my spiritual journey. It had been a lovely and alchemical few days. I've noticed how being close to a family of people can bring so much to the surface and allow it to be processed. When it comes to self-expression, I am a person who is preoccupied with what others think. I believe this is a natural quality of harmonizing with the environment that every empath possesses, but it is distorted into a need to belong and fit into a group, suffocating authentic expression.
Reframing perspectives
As we discussed what is too much and too little self-expression, one of my friends offered this invaluable reflection. If I'm not respecting others and their boundaries, I'm not being very compassionate. But we can reframe this perspective by thinking that if I step on someone else's territory, I'm also giving them the opportunity to express their boundaries, which is a compassionate thing to do. This, along with many other experiences, I believe gave me an extra boost of confidence and courage to be vulnerable in front of others.
Releasing Identities stored in the subtle bodies
Another experience worth mentioning is when we had this exercise where one participant stood in the centre of the circle and the other participants called all the names they had been called in their lives so far. I took advantage of this opportunity to release some baggage from my school days when I was bullied by a name. As the other participants called out that name, I burst into tears, releasing whatever I was holding. It was also shocking to discover how much we carry in our subtle bodies and how easily a simple exercise can trigger it.
Expressing authentic beingness
On the same evening, we celebrated Bhuddha Purnima ( full moon day when buddha got enlightened) and I played some songs for everyone. I would like share it here. I think you need headphones to listen to it.

Nammal Itha (Original music video)
Comment
Dear Openhand community,
I'm thrilled to release the self made music video here with you. The song is called Nammal itha (we are one). Its about the beauty of Gaia and our connection with her.
We are not separated from nature because we live in concrete buildings, wear clothes, and travel in vehicles. We, like a bird or a butterfly, are part of nature. Personally, I identify with a flower who expresses herself through fragrance and colour.
It's easy to lose our connection and get stuck in our heads about doing and achieving things during these times of great change. It's invaluable to stay connected with Gaia. She can help us to ground ourselves and reconnect with our essence. I consider myself fortunate to live in such close proximity to her beauty. Many thanks to my beautiful partner Soumya, who assisted me with the camera.
I did a rough translation of the Malayalam lyrics and added captions to the video. The song was produced on my computer with the instruments I have. I'm still a fairly inexperienced music producer , but I had a lot of fun and passion putting this together
. Please listen with headphones.
With love

Hi Open, sherri and Cliff,
Thankyou for your appreciation and words of support. A lot of energy, time and hardwork was spend into it but I was excited and passionate through out the process. It's a great opportunity for me to express like this here in this community where I can receive truthful reflection and then recalibrate myself to further authentic expression. It's interesting, I actually produced this song and shot most of the footage last year but gave up weaving it together because it didn't meet my expectation of what a music video looks like. But then this forum was an inspiration to revisit it and pick up from where I left off. Looking forwards to creating more and sharing here.
I'm currently in an inquiry about, how can I unveil and express from authentic beingness without an expectation of a particular outcome. It's certainly a dance of flow and commitment.
A beautiful sunset from where I live

I loved this video Vimal. I felt the sense of peace and balance as I watched it, landing less than half way through and feeling present and integrated into the moment as you were making it. It struck me as such a simple concept, living in the flow of soul. The masculine explores while the feminine grounds the experience. A dynamic of unity, courage and acceptance. It is simple when we use the mind productively and don't fantasise, drawing ourselves away from the experience and into distortion. The purity of your message is that it came across as simple truth. beautifully done. Thank you.

Connecting with soul...
In reply to Following the soul (video) by Vimal
Comment
That was really excellent Vimal! So much wisdom there, yet spoken simply, to get a deep message across easily. I really enjoyed the video. How do I connect with soul? I think the way that connects me so easily and expands my soul is through art, painting, creating...even creating something in my mind seems to take me deeper as if I was really making the art. Music is another way and different types of music have a way of opening up creative channels for me where soul flows easily.
Going out into my forest or to the ocean seems to connect me to my soul easily, especially here in my driveway where I can walk along and feel the leaves of trees that border along the entire stretch of the driveway. The forest gives off the freshest smell that never fails to get me to inhale very deeply! I love to touch, smell and commune with "my" trees as I call them. I talk to trees and plants. Some people think that's funny but I feel a great connection when touching and talking to my trees and to the plants I grow, including plants inside my house.
Talking to and touching plants seems to make them grow really nicely. I've got several flowering houseplants that normally would bloom once a year, but I'm always touching them so much I think this is why they bloom 3 or 4 times in a year. I have happy plants and they bring me happiness and greater soul connection and the feeling of expansion. One other thing that soul connection brings me is a loss of sense of time. There is just the present moment when I make the soul connection.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Thankyou for beautiful feedback Open, Andy and Sherri. Your kind words make my heart sing.
Sherri - what beautiful ways to connect with the soul. I can relate with all of those. I recently took part in a painting workshop. On the first day, I found myself completely immersed in sketching for an hour in nature. Time seemed to disappear. There is yearning to experience more of that and I think I will be painting more. Writing songs, making music is another big one for me. I feel so happy when I come with new songs and play it for others. I'm making some, which I hope to share here in some time. I'm in an inquiry of how not to get attached to the outcome and sustain the juice of the creative process. It's a balance between with vision and flow. Just being and connecting with nature and like minded people is another one. I feel super blessed to be living in a beautiful place connected with nature and spiritually oriented people.
I'm sharing a sunset I painted few days ago.

Expressing soul through art
In reply to Express the soul through art by Vimal

Hi Vimal, That's a really nice painting and your trees came out great. Doing trees ( and also mountains) has caused me to get tight many times but yours look like they just flowed onto the canvas without effort.
Regarding your inquiry about how not to get attached to an outcome so the creative juices keep flowing, have you considered listening to different types of music when creating art, to see if they help you get in the flow? I find different types of music seem to open up the flow in different ways. There's a lot of different music posted on this site and just listening to some of it seems to take me away.
Before I knew about breathing techniques to open the chakras, when I wanted to paint, I'd sit with the blank canvas for a while just breathing calmly. If I was going to paint from something in a painting book, I would start out thinking I'd follow the steps but then find once I was into it, the brush kind of developed it's own movements in how it wanted to go. That's how I can best describe it, something would change and if I stayed relaxed and allowed the brush to guide, then a masterpiece would result. But it's definitely easy to want the outcome to go a certain way. I'm sure each of us finds our soul's unique expression and that's what makes it all so neat. I have to admit I do have a few partially done art on canvas things that started out in the flow and seemed to stagnate so I put them away until something creative speaks to me again.
I've used different techniques like thinning the paint and then using a toothbrush and my thumb to kind of spray the paint onto the canvas. I'm intrigued by the splatter techniques and want to just fling the brush with paint going however it wants to go. Might be a good experiment if one needs to release desire for a certain outcome or just to be wild. lol But definitely an outdoor project!
I used to write music and poetry long ago but not so much lately. I look forward to hearing your next creations, you do have a gift with your video work and how you express in it. Your sharing of your creativity here. along with others too, gives me the desire to create something new. My soul wants to flow more than I give it time for lately. I've been in a lazy stage... Spring came a month ago on the calendar but Winter has hung on forever and still more Winter weather coming. Maybe I need to do a snow scene... haha
Keep enjoying and experimenting and the flow will flow. This I know.
Much love
Sherri

Hi Sherri - For me creations rarely just flows without boulders. I will have to sit and work through all the tightness the expectation of the outcome causes. So for example , I did have to start from the beginning in this particular painting after going halfway through. I think thats where the openhand philosophy helps - Its never about the outcome, but the actualisation of the soul but paradoxically it can only be found by stepping into a particular outcome/ direction.
I would love to see some of your painting as well if you can share the pictures or a link to it.
Cheers

I'm not able to share my artwork, some of my paintings I sold long ago and some that I had pictures of, they've been lost over time and were damaged from moving. I had some on the old digital camera SD card and it split apart so I lost all the photos on it. I don't have a smart phone, don't want one unless I'm forced to get one...and probably still won't get one. The updates from Google make it so I can't find a way to upload from my external drive now. I'm not tech savvy.
I'm happy you know how to produce and share your music with us here though. I really enjoy your work.
