More than ever people want to tap into their true selves, then express and share their creative gifts. This shift is transforming how we define, value and measure … [Read more...]
Actively Play With Your Inner Journey Process to Kick-Start Creative and Intuitive Insights
May 9, 2016 By Leave a Comment
The inner journey process is a very unique, sacred and personal process. While we may be inspired by what other creatives, spiritually awakened or successful people do to make the most of their creativity and intuitive gifts, it’s still only a seed of external insight until we put it into practice. Beyond what we learn from models and mentors, each of us need to shape a way to “go within” that works for how we think, the ways we tend to get stuck and the desires that move … [Read more...]
The Healing Power of Getting Clear on your Deepest Creative Truths
November 30, 2015 By Leave a Comment
Can you list your creative truths? Are you clear on what you need to create and what can fall away? Do you honor the voice within and give it a creative outlet? If not, it’s time to be really honest with yourself about what’s keeping you from tapping into the healing power of connecting with your deepest creative truths. Fear? Confusion? Or something bigger, like stepping into the freedom and power of owning your fullest self-expression? In the process of discovering … [Read more...]
Listening to Creative Whispers is Playful Edge-Stretching
July 23, 2015 By Leave a Comment
The little creative whispers you hear in the back of your mind or feel in your heart are a powerful siren song, calling you to stretch into new experiences. These playful invitations are like breadcrumbs that show you more is possible, and also help bring a budding or hidden desire to the surface for playful exploration. At first there may not be any clear reason for what you are hearing or feeling. Over time, you sense similar hits and messages that begin to point your … [Read more...]
Creative Barriers and Self-Perception
July 9, 2015 By Leave a Comment
Your self-perception is the most powerful tool you have to work through creative barriers. What you think of yourself cracks open your heart or shrinks it - empowers you or defeats you before you even start your day. How you interpret your strengths, weaknesses, good deeds or failures also influence your ability to see clearly, hear the truth about yourself and act in alignment with your natural essence. When there’s a disconnect between what you … [Read more...]
Tuning into Creative Awakening as a Way of Being
June 4, 2015 By Leave a Comment
This week my family is visiting from the east coast and I'm taking some time off to reconnect with them, replenish my spirit and continue my own creative awakening. In lieu of writing something of my own, I want to share a part of a post that not only resonated with me but also reflects what I often echo in my blog about creative awakening as a life process, evolution and a way of becoming your true self. I'll be back next Thursday to reconnect with all of … [Read more...]
The Difference Between Setting Deadlines and Forcing Creative Progress
June 1, 2015 By Leave a Comment
The urge to strive towards creative progress is natural. Chasing a deadline can make you feel alive, like you are doing something worthy by taking control of things so every moment is full of focus and momentum. On the other hand, sitting still and doing nothing can feel like you are wasting time or maybe even giving up, as if the idea or passion in your heart is a fantasy that needs a reality check. And what if that might be true? What if things … [Read more...]
Intuitive Guidance is in the Little Creative Clues
May 28, 2015 By Leave a Comment
I believe in the power of little creative clues - the small objects, coincidences and connections that serve as external confirmation you are on the right path or far from it. A creative clue can be anything that resonates with you or gets your attention, especially when you aren’t even looking for it. It can come into view when you are doing something you really love as easily as it can come into focus when you are doing something that’s not in alignment with what you … [Read more...]
Is your Creative Vision More Black and White than Color?
May 21, 2015 By 2 Comments
Is your creative vision on stand-by? Can you sense a dark outline of what you think you want, but it never quite gets filled in with color, experiences or a clear sense of personal connection? Or does it feel like your creative dreams are always dancing in the background, never center stage? This experience is totally normal and more common than you think. There's a sense of accomplishment you feel when you have a creative vision that guides you, giving you … [Read more...]
Dig Under the Creative Surface for Real Treasure
May 4, 2015 By Leave a Comment
On the creative surface there are truly amazing things to appreciate. Jaw-dropping scenery. Lovely people who inspire you as much as they challenge you. The sensation of the sun on your face, or the first bite of a delicious, ripe tomato from a summer harvest. These simple pleasures invite you to jump in and experience something with the full range of your five senses and really open up to the moment. When it comes to taking the same approach with your inner … [Read more...]
