Inspiring Church Session with Alvaro Sanchez

Today I was invited by Richard to his church session. Their church had a special guest today. He’s called Alvaro Sanchez, http://www.alvarosanchezmusic.com/. He’s a guitarist and harpist. I wasn’t too sure who he was though since I haven’t heard his name before.

But before he was invited to the stage to perform, I joined them in singing some songs to praise the lord. At one moment in time, I was overcame with emotions and tears were welling up in my eyes. I guess it’s just me who haven’t been in touch with the higher power and suddenly there was a connection and my body suddenly felt the intense emotional and spiritual connection.

I realized that I just needed someone to guide me along through all these challenges that I was facing at this moment in time. The challenges that I faced emotionally, financially, mentally and spiritually. I just needed that higher power to connect and support me along. And in just this session, I felt that deep deep connection that I had neglected for years.

Suddenly it just came in like a cloak of warmth had surrounded me, filled me with love, blessings and positive energy. It was such a great feeling. =)

Before Alvaro Sanchez started his performance, he also gave some speech and his bio. I was really surprised when he told us that he performed for the opening of the Olympics in Rome, for Queen of England, and even for our President. He added that he normally charged a lot for his concerts but today he just want to perform for us for free because we’re all worshiping God and he also wants to play his music through the hand of God in reaching excellence.

And so when he came on stage to perform, he was really good and I really mean VERY GOOD, or rather SUPERB. He played with such intensity and precision that the music really carried his emotions and love out. The music emanated pure love and blessings to the audience and they were such soothing pieces.

As I was closing my eyes listening intently to his music, I was pleasantly surprised at one point in time when I heard a change in tempo. I opened my eyes and he was there playing the guitar with his left hand instead of his right. And there he was, playing with just one hand. Amazing!

Next comes the harp, it was my first time listening to a harpist. I was really anticipating what kind of music it would be like. Never did I expected that when he started playing, the music just went straight and touched into my heart. It was the first time anything like that had happened. I had the most wonderful experience that the music was filled with the love for his God and he just wanted to bless us with his music. It was so touching!

In the end, I went back and bought one of his CDs called Springs of Life, and even gotten his autograph :D

It was such a fruitful morning which I listened in front of a world-class talented musician performing and paid nothing except my attention to listen wholeheartedly and appreciate the music.
