Soul comforts are one of the most potent acts of self-love and creativity. Not only do these little acts of care revive, inspire and transform you from the inside out, their influence enables you to create anything with greater love and intention.

While the term animal symbolism sounds very formal, it’s simply a system for connecting with our more intuitive, animal-based inner nature and accessing deeper self-knowledge.

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...]

April 18, 2016 By 1 Comment
I believe creativity and intuition are different aspects of the same energy. They feed each other like an infinite loop, each sparking or calming one another as they play together. When creativity is low, our connection to intuition can be closed off. When our intuition feels strange or ungrounded, we get judgy about what we are creating, or have expectations about what it needs be.

In a way, we can forget how to call on our basic senses to solve problems, fire up inspiration or create a new way … [Read more...]
