More, More, More

Recorded a cute cover of More, More, More - the 1976 tune by Andrea True Connection -
with Seena’s Peace & Love Band earlier this year.
Music and video coming next week, so stay tuned <3
-
Did you know that the original idea and demo for this song might not have happened if it wasn't for a problem?
The singer, Andrea True, found herself in Jamaica in 1975,
where she was hired and paid for a commercial job.
The problem was that, at the exact same point in time, due to political reasons, the Jamaican government made it illegal to conduct wealth transfers to America.
So, since she couldn’t take it with her,
Andrea True needed to find a way to spend the money she had made (wisely)
before returning back to the US.
She chose to invest in herself and decided to spend the cash
on recording the demo of More, More, More, in Jamaica.
This song eventually ended up becoming wildly popular and her biggest success ever.
-
I hope this little story can serve as a reminder that, sometimes, problems in our path invite us to lift our gaze and become even MORE than what we might have thought ourselves capable of.
In addition to acknowledging the problem, we could also ask ourselves;
What other opportunities for positive growth are presented to me at this moment?
What new synchronicities, peoples, perspectives and time-spaces are available to me to build and share MORE love?
The answers you find might not take away the original problem or hurt,
but they can help lay the foundation for something new, exciting and wonderful.
Something MORE.
It ain’t over ‘till it’s over - so if you’re still breathing;
it’s not too late.
People start new businesses in their 40s (Vera Wang, Giorgio Armani)
and new families/kids at 60, 79 or 83 (Tony Robbins, Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino).
So whatever problem you are facing right now,
in addition to dealing with that challenge,
I hope you somehow can open your eyes to new horizons
and discover that life has likely also brought you something that has the potential to bring you
MORE, MORE, MORE of all the good stuff.
❤️

The third tune on the EP is titled DISCIPLINE

**Having the energetic discipline to choose thoughts that are for the highest good is part of cultivating your inner CLIFF**

‘And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.’
This is, of course, the famous line from Genesis.
But did you know that in ancient biblical hebrew the word for ‘said’ in this text can also be understood as ‘thought’?
It’s obviously up to each one of us to deduce further meaning based on that fact.
One of the meanings I commit to is: thoughts create reality.
We are co-creators of our reality, and therefore it is up to us to choose the thoughts that would bring the best reality for all, including ourselves. This requires energetic discipline. It is a daily commitment; not just once in a while, but all the time.

”We see the world not as it is, but as we are.”
I really find this statement to ring true.
Therefore, I feel that having the discipline to live truly present, while attentive to what our presence tells us, is key.
The kind of discipline I’m talking about is in reality about; freedom.
If you have the discipline to see it, every moment offers possibilities for freedom. Possibilites of setting ourselves and others free from limiting beliefs. Possibilities to live life by what we experience and feel, and not what we are told to be or do. We can have the discipline to live by acceptance, forgivness and unconditional love. We can have the discipline to ask why we act the way we do. Then use it as a means to evolve; We can have the discipline to connect to our inner cliff of faith and choose unconditional love in every moment. What we choose to focus our thoughts on matters; what we focus our thoughts on creates an energy that we will then live by and broadcast to the world.

The song Discipline is for peace, love and laughs.
I made it with my pilates instructor Victoria.
My favorite thing about her class is that she expects her students to show up as the best version of ourselves - the version that has the discipline to do what’s harder at present, but that in the end will yield the best results. This version of ourselves also has unconditional love; It recognizes that we can only do our very best based on our current phase of conciousness, and that that’s ok. Judging ourselves and others is the opposite of having energetic discipline. It is part of a limiting world view. You either are in touch with unconditional love, or you aren’t. Be ok with what is, while recognizing that the moment most likely holds potentials for far more versions of freedom than we are able to fathom at any point in time. Sometimes, until we are able to make it second nature, it requires discipline to continuously choose unconditional love.

The second tune on the EP is titled the same as the EP itself;

CLIFF

**Surrendering to life, being with it as it is, while holding a vision for something greater for you and others, is part of cultivating your inner CLIFF**

What is reality? Where did we come from, why are we here and where are we going? What possibilities are open to us as souls having this human experience?
As a spiritually inclined, sensitive artist, who loves being in my own company, I’ve chosen to spend a lot of time with questions like this.
Another question might be; What kind of force is it that makes flowers bloom, makes trees bear fruit and governs day and night in a perfect rythm? I believe that it’s the same kind of life-force that we carry within us. This force gives life, and organizes life, without asking anything in return. It is free flowing unconditional love.
For a very long time, it has been the norm of society at large to live in a state which is mostly out of touch with this force.
Although this kind of thinking won’t continue for much longer, it has been viewed as normal by most to ignore this force, ridicule our connection to it, or try to violently control it. Whether consciously or unconsciously, it seems to me that many people have been too busy with daily trivialities to re-connect to their true nature and reason for being. They forgot to pay attention to their life force, and they missed the opportunities it offered to let it help shape them.
This includes me. Over the last couple of years I’ve woken up more and more, and I am still cutting my diamond and polishing the mirror of my heart, like everyone else. Said in another way: I’m still cultivating my inner cliff and the connection to it.

An important piece of my puzzle was, and still is, attending Network Spinal care sessions.
If you’re not familiar with Network, you can learn more about what it is HERE and HERE. And I also recommend reading about the philosophies of the founders of chiropractic, D. D. Palmer and his son B. J.
Attending Network Spinal care sessions has put me closer in touch with my life force.

Sometimes, when we repeatedly choose to ignore the messages of our innate life force, life becomes an analytical excerise almost solely run by the intellect. We disconnect from our body-mind. We rely on force-force instead of flow-force. We choose what the intellect percieves as certainty, instead of choosing something that seems more uncertain, but that we have a gut feeling is more in accordance with our true, unique nature. I’ve made this mistake a few times!
While attending Network sessions I realized that, because most of us have been so accustomed to living life as a mental excercise, it can literally feel like jumping off of a cliff to try to trust the innate life force. It can be terrifying. But this very aspect is what all spiritual traditions have been talking about for ages; You have to have faith. You have to jump off the cliff. Proof comes after faith and action. Not the other way around. Life is experiential. And, actually, as written in essay #1, you will find that once you do jump, your perception of inner and outer cliff will merge closer, resulting in you bringing your unique light to the world. The cliff is both the question and the answer. It’s both the journey and the desination. It’s what you leap from, what guides you during your flight, and what you land on. It’s the most natural thing. It is universal consciousness and it is everywhere.
Dare to not turn your back on it.

We need the intellect.
Without it we could not cope on this planet.
And we also need our heart, our our intuition, our connection to that which our intellect can not comprehend.
We need to cultivate our connection to our inner cliff and become one with it.

The song Cliff is a love song.
It could be understood as an interpersonal love song, a love song to our guardian angel(s) and also as a tribute to life and life force.
This life force is our eternal companion.
So with that in mind, let’s try our best to take what we are given in this life, and accept it. Find the gifts in it and have faith in it; Have enough faith in it to acknowledge that our limited blueprint of what life should be will sometimes miss the bigger picture.
The bigger picture, of which you are part of, is perfect. Surrender to it, while taking on the responsibility of a co-creator for a better world. We become co-creators of a better world when we consciously use the energy of our life force for the best of humanity and beyond.

Each human is a unique expression of a heavenly tone. No one else can play your tone. Feel your tone and share the music. You can do that by jumping off your personal cliff, and genereously sharing your lessons from the trip with others. It can bring massive uncertainty, lots of lessons and sometimes a false feeling of loneliness.
But in the end it’s the most thrilling thing. And you will also find other cliff jumpers on your journey. Take it from me.

The fourth tune on the EP is titled
NOT TOO SWEET

**Speaking your truth - sometimes with a dash of humor - while holding multiple perspectives, is part of cultivating your inner CLIFF**

This tune is indirectly inspired by my learning Mandarin Chinese. For the last three years I’ve been diving into this beautiful and complex language, and I’ve also invested myself into learning as much as I can about Chinese history and culture. There are so many interesting facts, stunning pieces of art, and cultural take-aways from the different dynastic periods.
I’ve also enjoyed soaking in current trends and memes. One of the things I’ve picked up on, which might be unfamiliar to many people in the West, is that there is usually a discrepancy between East/West in terms of appreciation for sweetness-level in desserts. One of the highest compliments for a dessert in China would be to say that it’s ‘Not Too Sweet’.

I realized that, with a dash of humor, this concept could be carried over to a relationship setting, as well, and the tune Not Too Sweet was born.

Immersing myself in understanding a history and culture very different from that of my own upbringing, has made me more aware of the gift it is to hold multiple perspectives. The ability to see multiple perspectives at once, is one way to define a high level of conciousness. As the world becomes more and more interconnected, we are offered the opportunity to learn from eachother. This rings true on both an individual-to-individual level and a country-to-country level.
Just beause someone has a different way of going about things, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are wrong. It is a gift to be able to recognize how the ways of others shine light on both what is great about our own ways, and also what we could possibly improve. It also offers the opportunity to build character by respecting the way something is, without trying to impose, judge and project. Realizing that there is coherence and strength in differences, is part of cultivating our inner cliff. Different parts, different systems, different people all make up a whole solid cliff. We need to actively practice holding this perspective and not fracture our own cliff.

Not Too Sweet is a humoros love song not to be taken too seriously. I’ve found that humor is often the way of the universe, although sometimes we are only able see it in hindsight.

Electric Heart

This essay is essay #2 in a series connected to my new EP Cliff

Read essay #1 CLIFF EP INTRO here
Read essay #3 CLIFF here
Read essay #4 DISCIPLINE here
Read essay #5 NOT TOO SWEET here


The first tune on the EP is titled

ELECTRIC HEART

**Heart coherence brings a greater inner stability.
A more effortless connection to what is truly important.
Cultivating heart coherence is part of cultivating your inner CLIFF**

Did you know that the electromagnetic field of the human heart reaches out far beyond the body? It is measurable by today’s available tools and therefore has been proven and accepted by the standards of current mainstream science.

But even without that outside validation I believe most of us are innately aware of the power of the heart. To me, the heart represents what it truly means to be human; Connecting to the wisdom of the heart is connecting to the wisdom of the universe. Connecting to the source.
Whether we consciously realize it or not,
we affect others around us, much similar to the way adjacent tuning forks affect eachother.
Everything is oscillating, and the vibration of our personal heart center matters.
When we consciously choose to be present with ourselves and others in a state that is connected to the heart, we bring more light to the world.

This whole EP came to me after a session of Network Spinal care at Life Power Wellness in Manhattan with Dr. Cliff Inkles.
Dr. Cliff is recognized as one of the early contributors to the development of Network and is highly regarded as one of the most skilled Network Spinal chiropractors in the world.
Read more about Life Power Wellness here. Read more about Network Spinal and it’s founder Donny Epstein here.
Network Spinal has put me in greater touch with my body-mind, my heart and my soul. It is one of the tools available to use to achieve heart coherence. Other tools could be yoga, meditation, vocal toning and spending time in nature. Anything that can put your body’s systems more in sync with eachother, so it’s easier to cut through the noise and connect directly to your higher self.

”What would love do?”

For me, asking myself this question is such a simple and elegant way to connect to the wisdom of the heart.
Saying and doing what our heart truly feels, which - for me - is one way to define heart coherence, is what will move this world closer to truth.

Electric Heart is a love song.
It can be understood as both an eros and an agape vibe. To me, one of the most beautiful realizations open to us in this life is that agape love is always available.
It’s just a sprinkle of awareness plus a dash of a conscious choice away.
If you feel like you don’t have it, take the focus off of the limited version of yourself and try to give it to someone else, stepping into the larger version of you.

With that I’d like to close with a saying by Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Kotzk that I find to be true and beautiful: Only a broken heart is truly whole.
What does that mean?
To me, it means that we sometimes have to be cracked open or humbled to re-discover our connection to universal love. At the same time, I believe that we are moving into an era where we are remembering to choose love without being cracked open first.
We are, and will be even more, connected to our true essence, love, through our electric hearts.

Love is always available inside of you.
It’s the foundation of your inner CLIFF.

My new EP Cliff is out now!

Taking a chance on trusting the groove of life.
Trusting that following the true rhythm of one’s heart eventually leads to true wholeness.
It can be likened to leaping off a CLIFF.
A CLIFF is both rock solid and an opportunity for free fall.
These qualities compliment instead of contradict eachother.
The most beautiful revelation in life is when one realizes that one is supported at every stage;
Even when leaping from the tallest CLIFF, in the midst of a wondrous soar,
or what turns to be a disasterous fall,
the CLIFF is still there for you to hold onto;
Re-connected to the groove of life, you innately find that you yourself are rock solid in mid-air.
-Your total surrender allows you to discover a gateway to cultivate your inner CLIFF.-

Even though it has sometimes cost me my pride and equilibrium, I’m truly grateful for the times in my life when I have taken a chance and leaped off the CLIFF.
Whether it’s simply daring to disco on the dance floor to a beat that everyone else thinks is weird,
or inviting someone to dance with me only to get rejected.
The soars are sweet, and the crash-landings have sometimes broken my heart.
Each time I leap, I learn a lesson that brings me closer to wholeness.
This is especially true of the crash-landings.
I hope you will leap, and I hope you realize the gift it is to cultivate your inner CLIFF.
It takes putting yourself in an unprotected state.
Smiling and disco dancing along the journey makes it more fun.
I hope this EP will put a smile on your face and warm your soul.
A groovy companion to your CLIFF - leaping.
No fear. No regrets.
Just peace, love and disco.

Sway Hits 100k Streams

,
 

Glad to learn my rendition of Sway
is resonating with you.
Today it became my second tune to hit over 100 000 streams on Spotify.
This track was produced and mixed by me;
It was easy to do since my musicians played so creatively
and it was recorded so flawlessly by expert engineers.
A true and beautiful teamwork.
I also hope this can inspire you to do ‘it’ yourself - whatever ‘it’ is.
Sharing the project with others in the studio (and with you guys!)
really is the best feeling in the world,
and in order to get to those situations
the first impulse and step starts with one person.
Sometimes, that person is you!
Don’t ignore your creative impulses.
Don’t put your light under a bushel.
Share your light and
answer the call - someway, somehow - it’s there for a reason.
Listen to Sway via Spotify above, or via Apple Music HERE.
XO,
Seena
