Performance Coaching

Performance coaching for musicians

Do you feel that you have mental blocks that stop you from performing your very best?

Do you get nervous when performing, or is your motivation and inspiration low?

Then a coaching session with one of the Musicians’ Health and Movement Institute coaches might help you! All the coaches are musicians and Timani teachers with additional educations as mental coaches (mainly through Mind Detox Method and Brainspotting – see below for more information about these methods). We offer effective tools. In combination with the physical coordination in Timani and our meditation courses, you will have access to your full potential as a human being and musician!

Have you missed a practice of deep relaxation?

Do you experience that inner peace is hard to experience in your everyday as a musician?

Or are you just curious about what might happen if you get a tool to “go inward”?

In Timani we recommend musicians to have a daily practice of some form of meditation. This works to develop the brain, create less stress and can help you be more present in the moment on stage and in the practice room. It is vital to find a form of meditation that you like. There are many meditation techniques on the market, including Mindfullness which has become very popular. The most important thing is to find something that is experienced as meaningful to you personally.

At the Musicians’ Health and Movement Institute we have chosen to focus on a meditation technique called ”The Bright Path Ishayas’ Ascension”. This is not a part of Timani, but is practiced by the Timani teachers to find inner peace and focus. It is simple to use and can be practiced with both eyes open and closed. You can find courses in the whole world on this website HERE.
