HI Guys!

I have just recently launched my new online songwriting course SPIRIT SONGS! It’s unbelievable how many talented people are out there.

I’ve been doing Skype sessions with so many people in the world. They all are amazing.

I’m seeing great results and even better than that, i’m seeing becoming more empowered within themselves. That’s really the main thing we focus on, working on your own boundaries and limitations that you put on yourselves. Hey, Everyone does it.

My vision for Spirit Songs is to create a community of artists that come together and create for the love of art.

The purpose for Spirit Songs is to help unlock the greater creative potential in everyone.

You don’t have to be an artist to create art, we all have potential in doing so. Sometimes it just takes someone else to unlock it..

If you would like to Join the community then you can sign up here at wescarr.com.au/spiritsongs

THE LAUNCHING OF SPIRIT SOUNDS IN THE COMING WEEKS!

For those of you who might not feel a calling to create art but just love to be inspired, moved, or watch art being created from the audience.. I am in the process of setting up SPIRIT SOUNDS

Spirit sounds will be the Big Brother to “Spirit Songs.” It will be the umbrella to everything i create. I will talk about how my own  spirituality  shaped the course of my life and about my own inner deepest  thoughts, share some demons and i’ll share what has inspired me also.

I’ll talk about meditation and my experiences, conscious living,conscious eating, Fatherhood, India, and generally touring and travelling around the world.

I will post my own meditation music that i will create purely for the spirit sounds community.

It will all be presented in a video of some sort.

There is a brand new Facebook page – Wes Carr’s Spirit Sounds.

This will be a page that i’ll upload new inspirations and exciting material. Music, art, spiritual stuff… you name it.. it will be good content and something for everyone.

Eventually i’d like to tour Spirit Sounds and bring a whole community of like minded souls together.

For now,

I’ll plant a tiny seed and watch it grow..

WES

The post WES ON CHANNEL 7 – THE DAILY EDITION INTERVIEW 28-4-15 appeared first on Wes Carr.

Most of my music is a nostalgic look back at my life, past relationships and old desires left by the wayside. They are journal entries frozen in time. You are not the same person you were 5 years ago, 2 months ago and even yesterday. Some people hold other people accountable for their past. They want you to stay the same so they feel secure.  We are all forever changing, wandering beings of light, we are all looking for our own path and piece of earth we feel most comfortable in. Nostalgia plays a big role in my writing and when i look within myself i realise everything i desire is already inside me. That to scale the earth looking for the rest of me, through environments or mind altering substances, the quest for fame, adulation etc. was not what i need to do and is a superficial path that doesn’t allow you to flow freely. Seeking favour is degrading and will lead you astray.

Creating Music that comes from what seems like out of nowhere makes me realise that peace, success, happiness, music, rhythm, abundance, anything and everything you need isn’t something you stumble on, it’s not something you find, it’s not material and you don’t learn it throughout your journey, it’s already within you. As our bodies get old, our soul do not, our soul constantly moves like the tide, our souls desires or purpose are considered our “dreams” and are always evolving with us, as we change throughout our lives, we never fade away we just transition into a new state of consciousness. We flicker in and out of existence at the speed of light, (300,000 kms per second).  Learn how to die here on earth first, let go, be free, give away your possessions that clutter your space. Maybe even give a valued possession away if you’re ready for that. Our greatness is in the small things. Cherish you and you will cherish me. What if all our hearts beat in time, and everything that exists makes up the perfect rhythm that beats the perfect beat and allows life to keep flowing? All life is effortless and this is how we are meant to exist just like the force of energy that utilises the vein to help carry the blood to the perfect part of your body to keep you healthy and vibrant, and when we experience dis-ease from an imbalance of contrast, the power of healing is within you eternally, we are all apart of the same intelligence that exists within us and without us.

I wrote this above like automatic writing, i know this is my spirit talking to me but my human aspect now has to but in as it constantly does and the ego loves that. I want to tell you that I struggle with this notion everyday, ego vs true self, But to struggle with it goes against the whole principal. To have the awareness but still easily forget it is quite common and it’s one thing to be preaching it and meditating on it, it’s another putting it all into practise and that takes work and constant discipline.  I try so hard to be a good human but it’s not about trying it’s about letting it flow naturally… and every now and then challenges arrive where i find myself getting caught up in the day to day struggles of the lower vibrational issues that can come my way without anticipating them, and this happens everyday to everyone. It’s unfortunate but i guess that is what balances us and makes our human element so interesting. We make meaning out of everything and It’s hard to remember that we are all eternal having an experience when you see something horrific in the newspaper or on television (this is why i don’t read the news or watch tele).

Music for me brings the best part of the past back to life, as if it were time travel and it is. Memories are photons of light in the brain. They are apart of your soul. By having a memory, you summon light. You can not physically hold it in your hand but you know it’s there and it’s real to you, by the images that flash in your mind. I use this memory to conjure the feeling and then the audience will hopefully have the same if not similar experience that i was having in translating the song whilst calling on the experience of the past and bringing the song out of the un-manifest in the first place, obviously the past does not exist but the feeling will always remain and be available to access and the more and more you conjure this emotion for others, the more and more it expands within the collective consciousness. That is why we as artists/musicians have to create high vibrational art to fill the world with inspiration, freedom, passion etc.. to combat the lower vibrational turbulence of the world.

TM has given me a new me i guess. I was given a mantra by Carol Maher in Sydney and with the practice of TM twice a day (30 mins in the morning, 30 minutes in the evening) i have noticed not only my creativity has increased but my ability to cope with stresses that consume my mind. In the past i’ve experienced depression, anxiety and paranoia and i’ve also discovered just recently i have a condition called Pyrolles Disorder, my body doesn’t produce much zinc and vitamin b6 which starves my brain of all the right “happy” chemicals it needs. TM has played a major role in my life over the last three and a half years by helping me combat depression and anxiety and to clear my mind when it’s full of constant chatter and that “mind fog” we sometimes get when we are tired, sad, angry etc… I also have learnt the flying sutras or the ’sidis’. This is an ancient practice that in my opinion can be even more powerful than the mantra  I have experienced instant manifestation, nirvana or bliss in the matter of minutes in some meditations and also a hightened sense of psychic awareness. TM continually surprises me and in my opinion it is the most powerful tool i acquired over the years to help me just focus and get clarity of mind. I highly recommend when you start the practice to get Maharishi’s book “Science and the art of living” it helped me understand what i was experienceing. David Lynch describes it as getting in an elevator and somebody cutting the elevators cord and you free fall down the shaft. It’s a little like that i guess.
in my opinion, I don’t really think meditation is JUST for relaxation. Deepak Chopra says that The ancient seers that pioneered the technique were not trying to relax, they were already relaxed. Meditation was performed to experience a heightened awareness. During TM you experience a restful alertness, we meditate not to tune out but to tune in, not to get away from everything but to experience everything.It’s an inner wakefulness an inner knowingness. It leaves you feeling fresh, alert and when i started i became very sensitive to all that was around me. It makes you look at life much deeper. There is no interference by the experiences of the past when experiencing pure consciousness. There are vast voids within our bodies, filled with intelligence. The challenge is to bring this intelligence to our everyday awareness. We, as mind body and spirit are more like water, unlimited, ever moving and changing. Thoughts become things, we in the physical are like a wave in an ever bounding vast ocean connected to all, we are all one of the same thing. Our thoughts effect the world just as much as our physical actions if not greater.
I believe Meditation should be introduced in schools everywhere. We should also educate our kids on real life events and give them the appropriate tools to deal with the pressures and nuances of everyday life.

Love and Respect,

Wes
