Becoming a creator instead of being a source of creation. Our source of creation is functioning within all of us but sometimes we don’t realize it until we get clear in our minds how to transcend it..So how can we do this..? It all comes down to our minds I believe. What we want to create will happen effortlessly if we organize our minds and free up space. Our world needs conscious creators to become healthy again. If we stop creating, it just means we are more in love with our past.
“Creation is a very delicate balance between attention and surrender” - Joe Dispenza
I find that quote so true! I feel It’s my responsibility to inspire and use my creativity to live with everyone around me as a creator. When I become unbalanced in my mind I move away from staying present and therefore away from creating.
For me creativity becomes accessible to me when my mind has space. For example, when I practice yoga or meditate, my mind becomes free to create and has space to flourish. I surrender to what is, and I can flow through life effortlessly and feel creative. There is not always an easy task to do though.. Living in today's society makes it very difficult to take control of our minds and therefore our creativity sometimes gets lost. It’s a constant process that I need to be conscious of in order to move into the state of creativity. I may not receive all that I want when creating either, and that's ok, but it makes me set up goals to become better to myself, and if I do not let the environment have an affect on my creativity I’m all set. If we can see and stay present in our lives numerous opportunities to create come up automatically. We all have the possibility to become excellent creators, and get to use the power to create whatever we want if we stay open when that new idea comes into our mind. Trying to force creativity, or we have to do something with the creation, won’t work either.. You will then not only create something that is predictable and boring, you also try to control the process, and not make the creation the best it could be. If we have our minds organized nothing really bothers us and we can be open to have our creativity to move inside of us. Have you ever noticed when we have a productive and joyful day most things gravitate to us and there is a flow. We also have a feeling that we have time for anything we set out to do that day and if something comes up against us we can handle it with ease. When I feel this way I also see more things around me, and the desire and urge to create comes up naturally.
Being a photographer you would think being a creator is a natural state but that is not always the case..being a creator needs not only space it also needs time and energy to become. We can take a picture of something beautiful but does it transcend what we really want to say or does it give the world a gift that it wants.. We can create so many things in our lives, we design our life, a relationship, a flower arrangement, a delicious meal, music and so on. I know when I create I feel happier and more spontaneous, loving and giving and when I surrender and pay attention to what’s being created, the next photo or idea comes in my head.
Never stop creating, It’s part of our health!
