Lara Fabian: A Voice With Feelings. ~ Elena Shlychkov, M.Ed.

Perhaps the song “Je Suis Malade,” by Belgian singer Lara Fabian is not optimistic, but I found it very powerful and meditative.

I understand that meditation teaches about how we can detach from all the “destruction” of the world so that we can develop self-awareness. But I always had questions about this.

I wondered how we can detach if sometimes we are not fully aware of our motivations and newly born feelings? Should we first investigate the motive, understand our own emotions better, and uncover the truth within ourselves, so that our “self-awareness” will not turn into some heartless stereotyping, judgmental preaching, or malicious gossip here and there?

I am listening to this song over and over again feeling gratitude for this incredible singer for her courage in sharing her beautiful voice and heart, her “vicious” anger, her sadness, and her “stupidity” for having the talent to love and feel.
