Creativity Always Wins
Greetings everyone and welcome back! And welcome to our new subscribers 🙂
We’ve talked in the past about the imbalance of masculine and feminine energy in the world (with a big emphasis on wounded masculine, though the wounded feminine also needs healing too).
Masculine and Feminine Energy: Keeping A Balance
This is one of my favorite topics and has been a common one among spiritual communities. Most of the info I am using for this post can be found in the book, The Bingo Theory: A revolutionary guide to love, life, and relationships, by Mimi Ikonn. I read this book at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and I still think about it from time to time. It ha…
Our capitalistic society has taught us to consume, consume, consume, which has gotten us into some precarious situations, to say the least.
But what if what we needed to do more of was to create? All of us are given natural creative powers, and it’s our time to use them!
Contrary to popular belief, every single one of us is an artist. Yes, that means you, me, and anyone else who resides here on the planet.
We’re often taught that only some people in the world are gifted enough to pursue their artistic talent, but this is a big fallacy.
We’ve all heard this story - “the starving artist” - right? It’s a huge lie made up to repress our natural gifts and keep us from our authentic power.
When we are young, our creativity comes so naturally to us, because we’re much more in touch with our souls. It flows out of us effortlessly. Take a look at any young child. They are brimming with brightness and curiosity to explore and express their creativity. It’s part of their nature.
But a critical comment from a teacher, parent, sibling, or peer can easily derail a child’s pursuit of that which is free-flowing and fun.
And, with a jaded emphasis on “how are you gonna make money?” we crush children’s dreams before they even begin. As if they even need to figure it out at that age!!
(And if you’ve taken my Manifest More Abundance course, you’ll know that you don’t necessarily need to have it figured out at step 1. You just have to choose your authentic gifts and joy each day, and the universe rewards you.)
From a young age, we were taught to rely on logic and rationality far more than we were taught to use our intuition, the gateway to creativity. This is part of the reason our world is so lopsided.
Because we are all part of the same energetic and universal fabric, this imbalance is felt all over.
But the truth is, all of us were given specific gifts and talents. And sure, some of them might be seen as hobbies, but others were meant to be pursued with full force.
We’ve lived through a patriarchy predicated on control and oppression, with an emphasis on beating the creative juices out of our being.
Here is why creativity is an antidote to this antiquated system:
Creativity begets freedom - there are no rules in creativity! It’s a free-flowing way to explore your curiosity and express whatever wants to come out. There’s no constraint, control, oppression, or divisiveness to hold you back.
Creativity gets you thinking outside of the box: as you practice your creative muscles, you start to in touch with some magnificent solutions to problems that were already existing. Something the patriarchy couldn’t do!
Creativity and intuition feed off of each other - all of our creative ideas come from the universe itself. And intuition is the conduit through which your soul communicates with you. Practicing your intuitive muscles enhances your creative muscles and vice versa.
Creativity and authentic power are inherently linked - the more you are tapped into your authentic self (your Highest Self), the more creativity flows right through you in an authentic way! And the more powerful your creations are!
Creativity increases manifestation potential - you have to be able to imagine a life outside of the one you’re currently living in order to manifest new and meaningful things and events! That requires a good amount of creativity 🙂
Creativity is a high vibrational way of being - you can’t receive divine guidance if you are stuck in negativity or lack. Shifting into gratitude/abundance makes you a recipient for divine guidance and inspired next steps!
When we create art (of any form!) we show people how we are experiencing our world through our eyes at that given moment, like a snapshot in time. And because we’re always growing and changing, this creates new opportunities for more art!
Art can be anything.
It doesn’t have to be a visual depiction of something, like a painting or picture. It could be poetry, prose, gardening, baking, cooking, music, singing, dancing, or anything you like and are into!
Art is expression. Art is a way to process.
It doesn’t also have to be an official “something”. It can simply be the energy you bring to a thing you do, like cooking. Or setting an intention for the day.
The reason we don’t heal well as a society is because we don’t express well. We were never taught to express at all, and we ended up repressed with a lot of shadows and wounded inner children/adolescents.
When we feel our feelings, naturally, we will want to express them in different ways. And our gifts and talents are a great way to transmute our life’s experiences into spiritual gold. It’s fodder for others who are going through something similar to you.
Inner Child Work: What It Is and How to Work Through It
This post idea came to me in a dream this week. How neat! Another reason why everyone needs a dream journal 😎 If you haven’t got your dream journal yet, get it here today! What Is the Inner Child? The idea of the inner child became popularized by the Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung.
The inner child is the key to our creativity.
Our inner child is the light that guides our creativity and fun. It’s the most free part of ourselves, because it’s the part of us that hadn’t been conditioned yet. Getting to know your inner child can really help them express themselves.
We were all given soul gifts when we incarnated on this planet.
It’s up to each of us to remember what they were. Using our creativity allows us to weave our soul gifts more fully and presently into our everyday lives.
Earth is a planet of manifestation and creativity is the driving force behind manifestation. We’ve forgotten how to truly create, because we were mostly taught to consume. But over-consumption is killing us.
And, often, we believe that the outcome must be “good” or “perfect” or “commendable” in some way. But creativity is really about the process. It’s about dedicating the time and feeling the joy of it all. It doesn’t have to be perfect! It’s gonna turn out differently every time anyways!
We’re in a critical time in the world.
The old ways of being are no longer sustainable (nor were they ever!) Now, more than ever, tapping into our creative side helps to restore the energetic balance of the planet. Everything you do, think, and feel affects everybody around you.
Balancing our right brain (intuition, creativity) with our left brain (logic, reasoning) is needed now more than ever.
Whether you share your creative forms with others or not, it’s still felt in the collective. So it still counts.
Before I started publishing my writing online, I never thought of myself as a writer. Or a healer! I just wanted a place to express all my thoughts and feelings about my spiritual path! And share the books I was reading.
Growing up, I don’t think I was ever complimented on my writing. And it makes sense to me now, because most school assignments are pretty boring and irrelevant. How could you possibly excel in something you’re not interested in?
But now, I write in my journal every day and I publish online once weekly. I write what I actually care about, and I receive lots of compliments and expressions of gratitude! And I thank my readers for your kindness and generosity!
I know for fact we have mystics, healers, intuitives, writers, poets, actors, gardeners, bakers, chefs, musicians, speakers, painters, cartoonists, logo designers, decorators, animal lovers, and so much more in this group. Do you know your gifts make a huge difference in other peoples’ lives!?
People are waiting to receive your gifts!!!
What are your creative gifts? Have you ever thought about this? If you knew your divine gifts could help uplift the state of humanity, how would you use them?
Have a fabulous and restful weekend!
Love,
Angeli
