the combination of this plus vibes has been a gamechanger for me.

extremely clear mind-body connection while singing. internal visualizations of my vocal cords/diaphragm/nasal passages resonators in the moment while singing are as clear as the world in front of me.(my mind literally creates a visual image to match the physical sensation so I see and feel my breath in and out, nasal passages etc) visualizing the sound of a note before I sing it effortlessly and my once pitchy voice is damn near pitch perfect now.

i use tonedear (website) to test my interval recognitiion. Since starting vibes/minds eye I’ve been steadily improving and now I’m near a hundred percent correct on recognizing ALL intervals in all directions…the coolest part?now i’m Making melodies everywhere in my head and playing with them by changing intervals and rhythms without even being near my instruments. taking my songwriting to the next level because inspiration can hit me anywhere and i can now hone in and craft my ideas simply by allowing/matching the feeling/emotion I intend the music to communicate with the intervals/rhythms which invoke that feeling in me.

visualizing myself performing/playing has manifested some opportunities to play that came out of nowhere for me. not only that; it helped clarify some major revelations about the nature of my uniqueness as an artist and how to make it work for me.that 3rd person view of yourself as Art? amazing how FUN it makes music crafting again. I got into this stuff as a kid because it was FUN creating core self expression through sound…now I have a clearer and vivid idea/image of the perspective of my art/me as an artist/product to a stranger and it makes EVERYTHING (songwriting,image,marketing) easier to develop because I have a consistent image/feeling/sound(and kinesthetics-internal and external ) of the emotions I intend my music to evoke…
gonna run this combo for a while and perfect and hone my catalog before diving into stage 4…but yeah minds eye + vibes has been stellar for me
should also mention i’m writing more songs with less effort and WAYYY less time actually spent /with on my instrument. taking a much more inspirational approach where I listen(to my msuic and others) and let go (while writing and playing) and hone it (in my head and on the instrument) after time away…really helped me settle into a good routine for me.
