Anna Shelley : Musician | Artist | Muse

The Breath (what an overflow of creative energy feels like)

By

The energy flowing through me right now is so intense, I am wondering what the hell is going on! I honestly can’t keep up with myself.

In the past week I have: Recorded and released an EP in 2 days flat. Recorded a new meditation. Recorded 2 more tracks for my next album. Created a tonne of video clips to go with the above. Got my EP and new meditation onto the Insight Timer app. Ooooh, and somehow contributed to raising a child.

Sometimes I pause to wonder if there is going to be a massive crash after all this activity. But then I remember I’ve been a bit of a hermit when writing my book (still getting the publishing finalised, so stay tuned) so I guess there was a lot more that needed to come out.

The creative output is so thick and fast I even stopped going to the gym, which is very unlike me. But I couldn’t bare to miss out on recording time.

Do you dare sit in the void?

By

Do you dare sit in silence,
Where stillness beckons
And constantly deafens?

Do you dare sit in the calm,
With no set intent
And without movement?

In the still of the storm
That rings in your mind
Carry me home
Carry me home
Carry me home.

That time before I was born

Anna Shelley - visionary musician, artist, muse.

It’s been a while since I recalled that time before I was born. That time when I got to pick and choose which gifts I wanted to bring to Earth. Yeah… that time. Do you remember?

I remember why I chose my particular parents. I won’t bore you with the details, but let’s just say that when I was 4 years old I was as fluent in reading music as I was in English.

The Other

By

Words and music are the solution to all life’s problems, don’t you think?

I haven’t been writing much here lately because I’ve been writing my fiction book. And the interesting thing I’ve discovered is that writing fiction is as soulfuelling as journaling or sharing in my online home here.

I can’t wait to share my new book once it’s out. It is soooo not what I’d normally write, but soooo what’s been needing to come out for a few years now.

Writing a novel has meant music recording has taken a backseat. I don’t mind, although I would love to split myself in two so I could do both 😉

Here’s a new video clip to my (as yet unreleased) track, The Other:
