Language of a word

: ) is it possible to have a language with only one word ?

I am dubbing for my current film Bangaru Kodi Petta.  Dubbing is where one re-records the voices of the actors, in a clean studio environment.  An actor watches his or her own performance and then repeats the dialogues to match their lip movement.  I have always believed that its not important what or how...but the intent we say with.  That a single sound could have tremendous emotional power... 

This belief got strengthened during the Dubbing process.  The discovery was how many different ways you can say one word and how the meaning changes?  How it changes if that sound comes from your stomach or the throat, or when your head is turned to side or when you start the word abruptly and end it by pulling the ending sound.  What happens when you take a breath and say word or breathe in the middle.  The emotion changes if you sit vs standing, imagine a person 5 feet away to 20 feet away.... It’s amazing how the emotional energy fluctuates with the way ONE word is spoken.

Now imagine how many words we speak in one day....

Superhero/ine 2; The Art of Breaking Down

Superhero/ine! 2
The Art of breaking down.

Most people dread breaking down.

 Breaking down, though, is such an important part of change, especially the one that is of permanent in nature.  There is a thin line between breakthrough/ breakdown.  Its dangerous and needs courage.  If you want to lead your life always striving.  You will be constantly pushing your limits, physically & emotionally.  At the point of your limit, you might breakdown and that is completely normal and ok.

The interesting thing is that once you do it a couple of times...it gets easier.  It becomes part of your journey through life.

 Now, instead of this happening as a haphazard or chaotic process.  You can make it a determined effort.

Any change has 3 steps. 
Be clear as to what you want to change. 
Identify the elements that will lead to the change.
Do the things in #2 to make the change mentioned in #1.

Making a “change” is the journey of breaking down.  You got to breakdown the old patterns/ thoughts/ actions. Sometimes it translates to emotional & physical breakdowns.  The deeper the pattern (in terms of how long its been part of you), the more you will need to push the limit.

Have a good environment to make your journey..to change and if needed, breaking down.  Having the right kind of people who can handle your breaking down and further be there as a support structure.  Two kind words can mean a lot at the right time.  Books, A trip, A movie... find things that help you undergo this journey.

When you lock onto to a new habit this way... the change is of permanent nature...

Next time you find yourself bungling, forgetful ...breaking down and it is towards a better destination...go ahead plunge!

Everyone is a superhero/ine!

Lots of superhero movies out these days and I always love the ones that show the beginnings;  Stories where the superhero powers are raw.  In its raw from, the superpower can even kill you.  But, when you learn to control it...it makes you a superhero.

So, if everyone is a superhero then what is our superpower... its fear!  Fear is a huge source of energy.  Most people have a primal response of moving away from it.  Primal suggests an animal like response...  Its a start.  We need to recognize that....well its a start.  From that primal response we need a response of higher consciousness.  i.e a journey towards being a superhero.

Fear usually comes up when we are outside our comfort zone.  And if you are operating at your peak potential you will always have fear around...cause you will always be outside your comfort zone.  And if you are too comfortable in your life...then possible you are not operating at your potential.  So, as you grow in life you will be always facing fear as you cross one threshold after the other.  The key is how do you use this energy called fear. What we need is a training regiment... different for different people.  Am designing one for myself... lets see what it does : )

I always loved the episode in the Spiderman movie (the Tobey Maguire one).  He acquires spidey powers but he is clunky, running into things, not knowing how to deal with it physically and emotionally, falling, taking the elevator... That's how we are.  When we are fearful..our first reactions are primal, running away, angry, taking out on other people, etc.  Then once we decide to face it... we take our falls, we get up, we learn...and evolve.  Then when you master it... it turns from a negative force to a very powerful positive force.

Another movie that has a gorgeous analogy of fear/flight/fright is Avatar.  When the hero climbs the hanging mountains and reaches the place where he can choose his bird.  He asks, how will he know his bird of flight.... she replies.. it will try to kill you : ) love it!

Next time you face fear
1. Know you are doing something right
2. Figure a way to master it:
3. Be a Superhero/ine

I know what you are saying..how the hell do you do Point# 2.  Ramblings on it soon!
