The Creativity within You

We often talk about all the other facets that make us complete and the essence of what creates the balance within; the influences from external sources as well as the internal higher self working in harmony. But, there is one amazing ingredient that is often omitted and yet is pivotal in bringing this all together. It is the one aspect that is like the blood in our veins and the air that we breathe. Without it passion would be only a word and dreams would be something told in stories, and even that would not exist.

I am talking about Creativity.

I have been seeing workshops around about creativity and I am actually rather amused since it is so fundamental to who we are as individuals. On the flip side I am also dumbfounded that it isn’t promoted and encouraged more.

In terms of our spiritual self creativity can have a dramatic effect on moving from a mechanistic existence to that of an enlightened self. Think about it…

I am sure we have a story to tell that would demonstrate the difference to our lives when we embraced our creative self to a time when we didn’t.

When you live in a mechanistic world with so much technology, so much consumerism it is easy to remain grounded and not in a good way. It is easy to become black and white in your opinion and even your life. It is all about paying bills, going to work and making ends meet. Creativity then becomes a chore and something only children can do.

The impact this has on you, particularly if you are empathetic or sensitive in any way, is that it shuts this part of you off, completely. That means that it becomes almost impossible to hear your spirit guides or angels and everything is done based on logic not your intuition.

I can speak first hand what that is like and in one word – miserable. Your life then begins to reflect everything this represents dark, heavy, uneventful, full of obligation with very little fun, happiness or connecting to yourself.

When you allow creativity to re-enter it is as though someone has turned the light on and this flood of emotion overwhelms you in such a way you don’t know whether to laugh or cry, but the one thing you do know is that it feels unbelievable. Then when you put this amazing emotional result into something what comes out is beyond words.

Creativity does not only have to be painting a picture or playing with clay, creativity allows us to explore ourselves in ways only as limited as you want it to be. It is one of the most beautiful processes and should be embraced so much more in our day to day. When it is your growth, your self expression internally and externally reaches through worlds.

No matter who you are, what you do and even what you believe allow a little bit of creativity in and notice the difference. Notice how it deeps your meditation, how your sense of being true to yourself is elevated and how your eyes seem to be more open. Colours seem more vivid and your mind more alert. You can hear your spirit guides chatting away to you and you can feel the support and connection to the universe as though it is physically tied to you.

Creativity is such a simple thing and yet, the impact can be between night and day.
