Do not fix your glance to the form. Instead be what you are, freely, unobstructedly. (For example take a walk in the nature, do things that you like, enjoy life, express yourself enough to feel free but do not reveal yourself in any way that would be dangerous, like "I like ice cream" ( most people like it) but not like "Collecting X has always been my secret love." (Others cannot share it, so they are likely to restrict you from doing it.) Seeing how you are alike with all the others: "I love Life!", you can enjoy a freedom that makes your capacity grow.) What you are is a complex thing, much more complex than the form.
Now, you can be honest but don't tell everything: You can see which sides of your life the form touches, but don't let that be all of your life even now. Live, express yourself and see where you are like the form, let that side of yourself be clearly in sight, partly guiding your actions/steps, the rest not-so-well-in-sight. Thus you can as an expression of what you are fulfill the form and at the same time live freely.
This way you can also make inspirated variations to the form: Just let your experience of life be a starting point. See which things touch feelings especially much: those are your energy, those will in their generalised form touch others too, without revealing anything about yourself personally but teaching a lot about what it is like to be a human.
These are useful skills, not just for dancing or singing, but for all of your life - in the modern environment which sets so many demands for us.

Living fully when working
Living fully when inside some work perspective
Find the soul of the work's demands on you & others.
That makes you work better and enjoy your work more.
It also fits your work together with the rest of your life, with your ideals in how to live.

How to not to lose the soul to technique
But how to do a thing if you do have a glimpse of its soul but at the same time have a technical form to fill?
Start with the clearest intuitive idea of the soul in its pure best form, in its right place in the world which also should be conceived intuitively, inspiratedly. Then in addition pay attention to the atmosphere of that soul: to its overall atmosphere, to all its sides, to each tiny glimpse of something somewhere so that you have a landscape of atmospheres, the overall shape of which is the soul. Where you know what is what, fill in also the sensed impressions, parctical deeds etc. that produce the atmospheres in the landscape. In order to better handle the whole, arrange it spatially, to a real landscape.
Then you should take the only APPROXIMATELY right technical form and interprete it to the language of practical actions, sensed impressions, atmosphere tones etc, maybe have a glimpse of its soul. Fit that all to be a part of the atmosphere landscape, making the soul better tha in the technical form, allowing exeptions to rhythm and variation: toward more soulful, atmospheric, inspirated.

Now you have the life in the living in the first place and the mechanical forms in the last place without having forgotten the mechanical form.

Ideal way of life
What then is the ideal way of life like? It is something like the traditional ways of American indians and of the other so called primitive cultures of the world with their close contact with the nature and with their healthy ways of living with their enormous amount of sensory stimulus and other factors which keep us healthy and fully functioning.
But that way of life has to be combined with having the technology: a portable computer, a phone, etc and importantly: modern kind of work to do. It may be that as the time passes, we will find more efficient natural ways to handle the modern work too, but for the time being we just have to combine two different types of building blocks: academically or at least school educated with the technology and natural healthy life with the nature. The latter gives us the capacity and endurancy, the former is what matters a lot in the modern world.
Still, the piece of understanding that I am offering about the value of natural ways of living and natural living environment, may make it possible to change many things in how the cities and modern societies are run, at least on the level of looks and feelings & atmospheres, and that ought to cure a lot of the nasty feelings that people have: we matter after all!

Beauty is our guide to better functioning
You look around yourself and the world shines in its beauty.
If we use some machine against its instructions of usage, it makes a kraah like sound. It is the same with humans.
When we have reached the natural correct way to live, our senses sing. That's our guide to better functioning that our natural tendency to enjoy beauty and things that are according to feelings and the deepest understanding guide us toward.
Life really is a great panorama of natural music to some: that's why we still love music.
Seeing the world answer centeredly, i.e. the human nature and health centeredly, makes the world look beautiful, shiningly, effortlessly, enjoyably, efficiently - that is the beauty of nearly full functioning.
Full functioning is something even better.

Dance is at the core of being
Life Is A Song
The best way for objective thinking is to think by atmospheres.
They unify a pictorial objective holistic view with the wisdom of feelings.
Each observation is a sensation, an atmosphere tone.
The light coloured atmosphere tones we can express by high notes.
The darker and more down-to-earth atmospheres we can express as low notes.
Thus our observations form a song.
When we act, we have an emotional motivation for it.
That motivation is a melody.
And action according to it is dance.
This dance appears to be dance in its basic form.
To live!
Means to sense, to react and to act in the world, in life!
Thus natural music, the song of our life and the natural dance of natural action
are at the core of what it means to be human!

Health is beautiful
Beauty tells of our natural goals in life and in the world at large.
What we consider beautiful:
Signs of the following kinds of things:
* natural
* healthy
* balanced
* harmonic
* a whole, without fractures
* on a good ground
* easy, effortless and nice way of doing something
* happy
* essential
Signs of flourishing life.
Something which to take as a model for oneself, to learn from.
(What we consider ugly:
* unnatural, artificial
* unbalanced
* full of fractures, contradictory, broken, a part instead of a whole
* unhealthy, ill, lack of health
* on a poor ground
Something gone badly ashtray.
Something to be prevented, not to be copied at all.)

Tales and the deepest wishes in life
Our dreams, ideals are deeply embedded in our nature, reflect the goals in life created by the evolution, which keep ourselves and our environment healthy and flourishing now and in the far future. So when we get a better grasp of what we dream of, we get a better ground for our functioning. Otherwise those wishes would not touch us so deep inside, would not make us dream of utter happiness. Even tales are valuable to us in helping us to build this language of emotions and dreams. Via it we can easily discern between the dangers and the roads to success. A tale kind of helps us to set general guidelines in life right. Beauty is a mark of a side of something so well that we can hardly imagine it possible.
What we term beautiful:
things that make us feel in the following way:
Beauty
That's right:
I dream of building a nest to a place like that.
That would make the world my beloved.

Great song of life
All people love music. That means that something like music is a part of the human nature.
Some few know how to compose music. They see or hear the life as music. We ourselves when we dance can see the connection of movement and music and sometimes when listening to music the connection of music and feelings – but the other way than those who compose music.
Dance is important: the body is the central part of a human being, via it we live, regardless of how intellectual or spiritual we are. Via the gesture language we express what we feel and communicate with others, via the body we do everything that we do. Our state of mind is reflected to how we keep our body and how we move.
When one is relaxed and understands the connection of the body and mind, one can see the body as music of life: our whole life is reflected in our body, in its gestures, and the body sings as sensations in our senses – as sensations which we can express by voice. The tones of voice express different kinds of states of mind. So each feeling or sensation is like a sound, like music which we can hear. And from the song of life we can choose a partial theme to be communicated by a song: a melody.
The song of life in us is what life is to us.
It is in other words what we observe,
what we experience.
The body just expresses it as music.
The songs of life of other people we can hear if we emphatice completely RELAXEDLY with their body like is usual in sports hobbies.
Ordinary music pales from the road of this natural stimulus. The whole living world becomes an enormous panorama of music, the great song of life.

Source of miracles
In the beginning of time the world was completely healthy and all the living beings in it were completely healthy too.
Since healthy ones are capable of much much more than ill or broken ones, were those beings of the beginning of time capable of much more than we nowadays are. By reaching for the health we gain strength and even miraculous powers.

The human nature has it right
In the beginning of time there was only the nature and humans were a part of it. We loved life and lived in harmony with the environment and with each other.
Regardless of whether the nature is a product of the evolution or of God's infinite wisdom, it is the best possible for any task that can be build from those building blocks. Thus the natural alternatives, the natural ways of living in harmony must still be the best possible choices in the tough modern world too.
What we loved then, we still in our nature love. And what our functioning was based on, it still is. So our nature still guides us toward the same, still valid, ages old answers to life's questions.
Our nature is still completely right. We just need a good holistic picture of the world - which most nowadays lack - and everything will start to make sense once again, like it ought to.
Life will be song and dance for us again, like it was then, a long long time ago...
