Art
is a connector of the mind, body and spirit. Creativity has amazing
healing power that can help us deal with stress, depression, chronic
disease, anxiety, pain, fear and improve the quality of our lives. It
can
lift us above mental chatter, fear, limitations and judgments and
awaken a new state of consciousness. Art can be used
as a form of
release of negative or positive emotions and thoughts. The creative
process can also help us gain insight into what is going on in our
lives.
Artistic expression is not limited to painting; it can include photography, dancing, music, acting, storytelling, drawing, collaging, sewing, cooking, gardening, designing a business plan, architecture, interior design, fashion, building--anything that is creative and transformative.
While most people have some creative inclination, they may experience lack of motivation or inspiration. This can be thought of as a creative block.
What are creative blocks?
Creative blocks are indicators that it is time for change. Blocks can reveal a lack of enthusiasm, motivation, inspiration, fear of the unknown or a refusal to express oneself. This is often because people are caught in old ways of thinking and outdated patterns of expectation and judgment.
How can we work with creative blocks?
It is not useful to view the creative block as a bad thing. They are actually intelligent mechanisms that are designed to assist us in re-evaluating our lives. Creative blocks can be viewed as stepping stones to enter into a new way of flowing with the creative process and in life.
We explore creative blocks in Awakening through Art sessions with many different methods.
Blockages will dissolve once you become aware of what caused the block through guided imagery, movement, drumming, play-dough and breathwork. Then you can naturally reconnect with your power to create and reach a deeper level of inspiration.
