Sacred Waters Song - I Am Alice Sounds

My first song came through last year during a period of change. A close friend who had supported through my life changing experience back in 2014, told me in no uncertain that he was in the process of dying. I knew as time passed I was going to go through another process of grief.  I really felt loss, and really wanted to try and process his loss in a different way. I needed something solid, death is so intangible. I live in Bali, Indonesia and my friend lives in the UK with his family. I knew I would not be able to viist him before he died, so I needed to find a way to honour my feelings and ways of helping me process my deep emotions.

 

Earlier in the month I had channelled a song whilst on a trip with friends to a lcoal temple. The next day I had basically channeled all the words and the melody. I decided there and then, I would learn to play the song on guitar in memory of him and honour myself and him in the process.  So that's what I did, I found out what the chords were and played it every day praciticing and pouring my heart and soul into it. Sometimes crying, sometimes frustrated by it, but mostly just honouring and learning to play it better and better everyday.

During this time of grief I started to journal again, and learning my song I found a way to channel my grief. From journaling to singing, to writing my own song and learning to play guitar to honour my feelings and expressing myself.  Grief is a life long process of connecting to our deepest emotions and honouring them in some way creatively.
