OKAY, SO THIS IS THE SECRET SAUCE🛸
Our EA community chat has been going OFF with all things Rick Rubin, I'm sure the same goes for your social feed. The podcast press tour for his new book is exactly what we all needed, as we transition from our retrograde dog paddle to Big Uranus Direct energy. His message and this clip specifically really got me… The exact reminder I needed of my own secret sauce and the deep connection btw what stands in our way as both a creative and an intuitive.
As someone who identifies as a “creative” and “intuitive” I realized that even those words can be used interchangeably, these adjectives are used to describe a way of seeing the world and being open to imagine it in a new way.
The Secret Sauce: Having the ability to interpret what you see and the confidence in your vision to express it.
One of the things I see consistently in my one on one sessions.…. is the construct of someone feeling creatively blocked, and feeling like they aren't living up to their creative potential.
What if I told you that it’s not in WHAT you create but having the confidence TO create it. And even further the confidence to share it with the world that makes the difference.
Here are three things to remember on our creative journey…
Creativity isn’t something you can be bad at, there is no comparison mode when we are in the realm of imagination and creativity. SO lets take that off the table.
Creativity isn’t bestowed on a gifted few , it's not an end result of something that is produced. It’s a way of navigating the world. As human being on this planet ,you are inherently engaging in a creative act. How you wake up in the morning, how you greet your child, your friend. How you solve problems that come up in your day. All of which are an opportunity to be “creative”.
Being open is the fastest way to become creativity unblocked. So forget everything you think you know and be open to seeing what the world around you is communicating. Both loudly and subtly.
When someone tells me they aren’t creative, the root almost always comes down to confidence. At the most basic level the secret sauce of being a “creative” is having the trust to open to that whatever you desire to create is worthy of being created. And the confidence in your vision to share it .
Now Let’s dig deeper into how this relates to your subtle body, intuition and connecting with the Unseen.
When we dive into the 6th center, the third eye center….we enter the realm of imagination and intuition. AKA the realm of creativity & vision.
Similarly to being “creative” It’s not that one person is more intuitive then the other or that someone isn’t capable of receiving psychic information … it's that one person is confident in their ability to believe that the subtleties of what they see, hear and feel are possible, even when someone else might not.
They have the confidence and trust to believe that what they are experiencing is real. And are willing to express it .
In both cases building our trust muscle and confidence is key.. I have foud the very best way to do this is through practice. Action creates clarity and practice creates confidence.
Anyway! My copy of The Creative Act by Rick Rubin arrives tomorrow, and could not be more excited to explore this concept further. If you're reading it too, let me know! We may or may not be starting a book club over here.
And if you're looking for a moment to OPEN and connect with your innate creativity - availability for February Flower Spirit Sessions has just been released.
