The New Year holds the power to energize a fresh creative path. This is not an invitation to make resolutions since that is an act of creating through the ego. All creations through the ego yield limited and unsatisfying results. Instead, I invite you to harness the energy of spirit as you experience the art of conscious creation in this auspicious 2011 year.
Conscious Creation moves beyond the ego and the laws of attraction and brings your spirit's true essence to life while aligning with the supportive energies of non-physical reality. Conscious creation will truly uplift, inspire and empower you. Here are some guidelines to assist you in the conscious creation process for 2011.
Consider yourself an artist. Michelangelo claimed that he did not create his sculptures. Instead, the sculpture revealed itself as he chipped away the marble. Our lives are not so different from this description of an artist allowing the marble to become what it is meant to be. As the creative force behind your life, you have chosen a soul path prior to birth that you too can unveil. You have power to discover your soul's wisdom, beauty and true essence and then bring through its passionate expressions into the material world. You can create a remarkable masterpiece that is your life. Sometimes its easier to consider multiple paintings or chapters of a book when you contemplate your creation process. You can also think of 2011 as one creative masterpiece that will fit into the whole of your life. Knowing that you have the power of the non-physical and physical world to support your soul's expression, what does your soul long to experience throughout the 2011 year? What will you create?
Envision Your Canvass. Get a pen and paper or print off this article to guide you. Take time to sit quietly, close your eyes and breathe deeply while sitting upright and comfortably in a place where you will not be interrupted. Play soothing music or sit in silence. Breathing in and out, elongate your exhale. Feel into your body. As you do this, call light to yourself and allow that light to saturate every cell of your body. Feel the light filling your being and then intentionally expand the light outward until you are basking in a sphere of pure light. Feel the essence of your soul as you breathe deeply into your abdomen and slowly exhale. Your soul has a purpose for being YOU in this lifetime. Your soul communicates through intuition. It gives your consistent messages, visions and insights about what would be most fulfilling to you. As you bask into the calm of your own true essence, become willing to see an authentic vision of your life one year from now. Breathing deeply, let go of where you think you should be or what you must do. Simply allow an image to emerge from your soul into your inner eye. What would your soul most like to create through you for 2011? As you allow your mind to open to the possibilities of seeing your soul's creations one year from now, what do you see? Allow a detailed scene to emerge into your consciousness. Let the canvass reveal itself as you look upon where you are and what you are experiencing one year from now. Your soul is eager to create this reality and is showing you an image of what you are capable of manifesting. Observe the scene. What are you doing? What do you feel? Who is with you? What does the scene represent to you? You are the creative power behind your life and you get to decide what will be in the scene of this canvass.
Tweak the Canvass. As you review your soul's canvass of 2011, is it everything you hoped for? You’re the artist of your life. You have the power to bring more color, beauty, richness into your experience. All of that energy exists within your soul. Willpower will not manifest the results that uplift, inspire and evolve you but allowing your spirit to reveal its joyful creations will. Breathing deeply, allow your spirit to adjust the images of your scene until you feel your heart fully open, flowing with love and appreciation. An open heart while reviewing your 2011 scene reveals its alignment with your soul. Tightness in your chest or stomach tells you the ego is filtering the image. Breathe and let your soul's essence create the scene and refine it until you feel peaceful and open hearted. You have the power to tweak the scene until it is a masterpiece that is felt within your heart and whole being.
Discover and Claim the Essence. To create a masterpiece, you have to decide what to paint and then use the right canvass, paints, tools and setting to allow the artwork to unfold through you. It is the same process for conscious creation. First you allow your spirit to reveal your authentic passions and then you allow that essence into your physical experience daily. You have to use the tools of conscious creation and do so consistently. Envision the image of what you have created one year from now. What is the essence of your masterpiece in 2011? Let a word or phrase rise into your consciousness that captures the underlying energy of your creation. Over the years, I have created a few masterpieces through the art of conscious creation. Some of these are called: “Breaking Free”; “A Victory Dance”: “The Art of Play”, "Serving in the Light" and “Blissfest”. When I was not consciously creating my life, some of my art pieces would be entitled "S@#t Happens"; "Committed to Suffering"; "Addictions in all Forms"; "Soul Loss" and "Dancing in the Dark". Get the picture? Perhaps your creation’s essence is “Prosperity with Passion”; “Self Discovery”, “Having Fun”; “Intentional Healing”; “Letting Love Flow”; "Commitment to Soul". Let the images of your creation reveal the word or phrase that captures its essence.
Embody the Power. To embody is to exemplify in a concrete manner. Reviewing the essence word or phrase representing your new creation for 2011, how did embracing and embodying that essence create a new you? How do you embody this essence now? How do you resist it? What can you do today to allow more of this essence into your life? Bringing the power of any essence to life is a conscious act of allowing it into this moment. One doesn’t wait for fun to arrive before expressing the joy one wants to create. To create the masterpiece called “Blissfest” one has to access bliss which resides in the infinite well of one’s true essence first. That essence is then felt, appreciated and then expanded into physical actions that reflect its presence within us. By doing that, physical reality will begin to reflect more and more bliss. When I was creating my masterpiece of unconscious creation called "committed to suffering", I could not imagine a life called "Blissfest". To expand into blissful living, I had to feel joy in the smallest doses by allowing it into my experience one breath at a time for quite awhile before I could expand into feeling chains of moments that were blissful. It was my guiding spirits who helped me recognize nothing outside me was changing but my willingness to tap into a small measure of bliss could change everything I experienced. I smelled a lilac and appreciated that moment. I saw a butterfly and appreciated that one. I had running water in my home and began to feel that joy. Those small experiences allowed me to open my heart one moment, one experience at a time until one by one, the strokes of my canvass became filled with bliss!
When you consider embodying the powerful essence of your creation, what does that essence give to you? How does the expression of this essence serve your highest good? Is it teaching you something? How does the expression of this essence serve others and life in general? What does it allow you to experience that you are have not yet created before 2011?
Walking the Journey. To experience anything in the earth plane, you have to walk your canvass into physical reality. I can meditate every morning but the experience of meditation will not live in the physical world unless I bring its benefits into this wakeful moment. I have to walk my meditation into reality, just like everything I am willing to experience. Discovering the essence and embodying the power of that energy translates into words, thoughts, feelings, and actions. It requires a whole new energy that emerges from within your immutable soul. That energy is always there but may not being experienced. Like when I was suffering, I had allowed trauma to shut me down so significantly that I could feel almost nothing but emotional anguish. I kept praying for a miracle. When my guides appeared one day and told me to get up and become the miracle, I was not thrilled with that response from the divine. Couldn't the divine just make it all happen for me? For any experience to happen in the physical world, we have to be the conduit. This requires consistent willingness and faith in the non-physical energy of spirit to create whatever you are willing to allow through you.
Visualize your canvass for 2011. See your creations clearly in your mind or feel the sensations associated with them. What did you do when adversity arose throughout your year? In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy has to find her own way home. She has tremendous support along the way and also meets with her darkest fears that detour and even trap her in the witch’s castle until she unleashes her courage and dissolves the illusion of the witch’s power. Look upon your creative image representing your 2011 masterpiece. It took courage to move into a new experience. How did you bring forth courage, compassion, willingness and tenacity throughout your creative process? Who supported you? What did you discover about yourself and life as you walked the journey of your creation?
Anchor Your Creative Vision. As you sit quietly ask your spirit to reveal a symbol representing your creation for 2011. Some ways to anchor your creative vision: 1) Make a collage of images (a vision board) that support your creation for the year. Place the vision board in a place of importance within your home and allow the images to serve as creative inspiration for your daily choices. 2) Write a story about your creative process as though you have already created everything your soul longs to experience in 2011. Write the emotional truth of the story; giving it life through details and clear imagery. 3) Place images or symbols that represent the fulfillment of your creation in 2011 in significant places throughout your home or office. 4) Journey or meditate to seek guidance about your creative process; to discover the power guides willing to support your creation and the steps needed to facilitate your mastery. 5) Act “as if” you’ve done it already by first allowing the sensations that currently exist within your immutable infinite essence. Bringing these sensations into your body, emotions, mind and spirit will help your words and actions reflect this energy. This is not “faking it”rather this is an act of deliberately allowing the sensations to lead your acts until they feel natural to you
Practice allowing. To create anything in the physical world is an artful dance between structured command of the energy of life and letting go. Set your intention to allow your vision into your reality; embrace the essence behind that creation and then fully embody the energy. And then release your attachment to how the details will manifest. When a client comes to me for a reading or soul retrieval, my job is to stand as a hollow bone or clear channel for the divine to move through me without interference from my ego. I set the intention, embrace the essence of the divine spirit moving through me and allow that energy to flow into conscious messages that I then communicate or act upon in a session. I do not tell spirit what to do or how to do it; I only command the intention of the session to serve the highest good for my client and all concerned. I then surrender and allow that energy to do what it needs to do in response to that intention. To consciously create is to set your intention and then become the hollow bone through which your spirit and divine energies of the universe can work on your behalf. Your spirit will guide you through intuitive impulses, insights and direct guidance when you allow it to do so. You will also receive non-physical and physical helpers throughout your creative journey when you are open to this kind of help. Spirit cannot do for you what you will not allow through you, but if you are willing to grow and expand into whatever you are intending to create, you will be supported by divine helpers throughout your journey. Do not judge the form of a spiritual or non-spiritual helper. Remember, they may look like a “scarecrow, tin man, lion or witch” but each will hold the power to open you to the depths of your own creative wisdom if you are willing to grow through the journey. When things seem not to be flowing, recognize that spirit is attempting to show you where you resist the miracle you seek to experience. It is helping you to open to a whole new dimension of your exquisite creative soul power.
Appreciate the process. Appreciation is the nectar that fuels creation. What you appreciate will expand exponentially. This means your heart chakra is open and experiencing the blessing of whatever is present. Every painted masterpiece began with a single stroke. Set your intention, engage the tools for creation and appreciate the process of your creative path. As you open your heart to the magnificence of your spirit’s power, you will discover that every moment of your creative process is worthy of your appreciation – not just the end result.
2011 is an auspicious time to be alive. We are shifting into higher creative frequencies. Enjoy the opportunity to create your life consciously by engaging in the artwork with passion, willingness and appreciation!
I am seeing you creating a remarkable journey in 2011 and beyond! Enjoy the process, trust in your power to create your soul's essence into form and appreciate the love and grace of your conscious creation process!
Namaste, Lori
