BLISS I'm here! When you connect with your creative spark you feel unstoppable, as if you’re on the wildest rollercoaster of your life, often ending in a calm pool of rejuvenation and often BLISS! Taking the journey to meet our creative spirit needs to be a choice, with society being a constant distraction we can shy away from listening to our own essence, embodying our true nature and instead we become bombarded with other things, things that seem more essential to the rational mind. In all of my time as a creative, I have found that I have been the most healthy, vibrant, self-nourishing and joyful self in ALL areas of my life when I am feeding my creativity; to me, this meeting of ourselves is MORE essential than going to the doctor or dentist for that check-up, instead I choose to make time to check in with my creative spirit who shows me where I am, who I am, where I feel stuck and finally where my energy seeks to go. This may sound time-consuming and raise the question how do I get there? The most beautiful thing is that your creative spirit wants you to make it up!
Tips to meet your creative spirit
Here’s some suggestions to get you started:
Go walking in nature with NOTHING, NADA! Allow yourself to go to a place of innocence or peace so that you feel you have space to enquire with questions like, what type of creative practice would soothe me?
Meditation ( obviously!!)
Meet your creative spirit in art galleries/ places that inspire you and allow yourself to enquire about the way the art speaks to you/makes you feel.
Go to a creative meet-up and be surrounded by others who share similar interests.
Read that book that is covered in dust!
Create a sacred space at home that lures you in …
These are all suggestions, there are so many ways we can meet our creative spirit, most importantly we need to choose it for ourselves. Choose to make your creativity an important factor in your life otherwise you will continue to feel stuck and be on repeat. You feel me?
One thing at a time
Perhaps you are overwhelmed by the amount of things you would like to do or perhaps have a “creative block.” Here are some ways to bring you into harmony with your creative spirit;
If you’re ready to go but perhaps overwhelmed with ideas, simply ask yourself what do I love to create and begin to write down a list of all the things you love, close your eyes and pin the tail on the donkey; just go with the idea you get! This is not about getting it right, this is all about choosing from your intuition.
If you’re feeling blocked/ stuck, sit quietly and bring your inner child into the space. Imagine them happy at the age of 4 or 5 and ask them personally “what would you love to do today?”Simply listen, hear a whisper, receive a memory or a brand new vision… you will understand the message!
Structure creates results! If you really want to create momentum then create a structure that works for you. Perhaps you take 5 minutes a day for creative practice, maybe half an hour per week, or maybe embrace this creative freedom with a full day of YOU! The trick is to not overwhelm yourself and try to do it all at once! You could set up a group, or join one and mark your calendar in BIG FELT TIPS COLOURS … CREATIVE ME!!!! I’m simply throwing spaghetti at the wall, giving options that work for me. Some spaghetti may stick on your wall and others not; as I said you get to make this up!
Why Choose your Feminine Creative Energy
Working with clients on a regular basis, I see the transformation and ripple effect that allowing their personal creativity has on ALL areas of their lives. You will connect to a deeper sense of purpose bringing happiness, joy and upliftment into your day. BONUS! You also find that you can become the generator of your own happiness & well-being. So if you’re ready to evolve into the most creative and abundant you yet say yes to take the opportunity … What do you have to lose?
And so it is!
