Coming back to neutral

'Coming back to Neutral' is a phrase I learnt in the acting course i did from the London school of dramatic art. 'Coming back to neutral' is a skill learnt by all actors to arrive at a neutral space within. This neutral space is the space where my personality as 'Tazeen' does not exist. What exist is pure potential for the director to paint it's character which I am potraying. Learning this skill as an actor made me wonder , can be neutral in all the roles which I play in life ? Can i be that neutral space where creation happens. Where i leave room for the creator to paint it's picture , it's movie. !!.... Now I catch my self playing my personality and make an effort to come back to neutral for wonderful creation to happen.

Have you tried coming back to neutral from all the roles which you play in life ? be it an employee, boss ,daugther , mother , sister , son , father , husband , wife , brother etc? ...just try 'coming back to neutral' and see the relationships creating themselves !!

The ignored skills of being human

As I delve deeper and deeper within myself during meditation pratices I see so much of my mind with it's trivia and detail . When I shine the light of awareness these thoughts vanish and a serene me emerges to face the world.I wonder so many times why is that being aware , observing mind , allowing the universal energy to flow through me are not taught at school ? Why is that mind and storing information and ability to retrieve information skill has become so dominant in determining the quality of a human being ?
Once I have deep dived into being aware as a  capability life has expanded for me and become so much spacious. The moment i recognized and got connected to my feelings and emotions which is the language of the heart i noticed the quality of my relationships improving and definitely the quality of my life improving. Why did I learn all these skills so late in life ? Why was I not made aware of these aspects of life earlier ? Why is that so many people are still unaware of these wonderful human skills ? I imagine a day in life when awareness and coming from a space in the heart will be considered as superior quality human skills . If these skills are valued only then they will be measured for all decisions in life like choosing a career , choosing a life partner , financial decisions and most importantly nuturing the next generation (children). Life will be so amazingly wonderful with it full magnificiance of all human beings!! I need to play my part and keep these wonderful human skills of being aware , coming from heart and living life in this moment alive in me.
