becoming mindful and aware of the present is like opening a door. suddenly, it is as if a new space has been created for us to breathe and expand into. our awareness is now able to expand internally, as well as externally, with greater ease. we find our selves, and realize that we have been there all along.
in the west, we are often cut off from this internal awareness. we are so busy, caffeinated, over-scheduled, over-stimulated that our internal experience is glossed over, or just ignored altogether. sometimes this is a side effect of our busy lives, but most often i think we create the distraction and fragmentation of our inner-most self in order not to deal with bare reality.
drowning out the emotional landscape we fear to experience cuts us off from the real joy and beauty we are capable of experiencing in life as well; becoming present, coming back into our bodies & our internal experience, creates the opening we need to be able to tap into our inner voice, our internal source of energy, wisdom, and creativity.
regaining access to this well of inspiration and energy brings us back in touch with our creative, authentic selves. reconnection allows us to know what we want and need, lets us sense what will drain us. we recognize that this dynamic, internal energy can support us in following our biggest dreams and visions. it can fuel our creative fire, and what we really long for & need will become more clear.
it's that clarity that opens the pathway- to pioneering your way to your creative self.
{please join me on the path! hope to see you there!}
