There is no decision-making process anymore.” – Eckhart Tolle, Stillness Speaks A power and intelligence greater than you and yet one with you in essence takes over. “Artistic creation, sports, dance, teaching, counseling - mastery in any field of endeavor implies the thinking mind is either no longer involved at all or at least is taking second place. You perform at your best, and you don’t even know how you did it. The ability to stay in complete control while entirely letting go. When you experience it, you feel alive, at ease, and inflow. The ability to surf between thinking and feeling. You feel silly, awkward, and (maybe even) uncomfortable - until one time it finally clicks and you discover that perfect harmony between being in your head and being in the moment. This is what Ultraspeaking is about. You train letting go. You’ve learned to ride it, re-direct it, and harness it to your advantage. That way, when you’re under pressure, you’re not experiencing a flood of emotion for the first time. How do you regain your speaking potential without exposing yourself to unnecessary risk? You practice expressing your emotions in a safe space. And in doing so, you may have accidentally narrowed your range, constrained your expression and reduced your speaking to a fraction of its potential. Maybe it blew up in your face and left you feeling exposed, embarrassed, or ashamed of yourself.Īs a result, you may have subconsciously started to control things more - to the point where you decided to play it safer in speaking. Maybe one time you went too far and said something you didn’t mean. When you allow emotion to take over, you may lose control. Or maybe they do care, but they’re scared of showing it. Why? Maybe they don’t care cre about what they’re saying. Human beings are creatures of feeling, but they don’t always show it while speaking. Why do so many people speak without feeling? Why? Because the feeling is nowhere to be found. ![]() But when it comes to speaking, sometimes, that connection is broken. Feeling is at the heart of human connection. We may not always feel the same things. But all of us feel something. That’s because emotions are naturally relatable. We all cried as babies. Characters laugh, cry, scream - and we can’t help but feel the realness in their emotion. Shifts and swings.Ĭontrast is what makes great stories. There are slow parts and fast parts quiet parts and loud parts. But when you do find it, something magical happens: you experience the very essence of being alive. These are consequences of musicality, but they are not the root. It’s not the pace of your speech nor the tone of your voice.
