Tap the Potential Movement

By Adela Rubio


Collective movements are powerful and chock full of potential. Whether you're thinking of the Civil Rights movement of the sixties, Sep 11 or the US Presidential elections, you know that everything and everyone is effected when you are swept up into a stream of spiraling potential.

The energy of this burgeoning potential almost feels TOO big to contain, it is so massive. However, once the energy of that wave gets seeded throughout creation the time to ripple the movement picks up again. The tsunami-like afterglow of possibility streams into the microcosm of creation, looking for its 'next.'

How do you engage this next? How do you play out your individual stream of creation within a larger collective movement? Here are some things to explore:

1. Create a new story of YOU. In order to capture the stream of potential in physicality it will often require a new set of characteristics and traits. Notice what specific qualities would be ideal for the task at hand. If you're feeling like you'd like to lead a group and you've always been introverted, now would be the time to access a shift of being. You are a fluid creation, and not everything you've told yourself about yourself is necessarily true. Abilities and talents are like an outfit for a costume ball, they can be tailored for the occasion.

2. Magnetize the potential by fertilizing your environment. Envision yourself surrounded by others who are 'in it with you,' folks who 'get it.' Energetically broadcast that you are up for it and available. Start speaking about your vision/idea. Write about it; invite people to it, whatever 'it' is. Hang up the shingle for your creation. Create the space for it to show up. As you speak your potential into being and align the space for it to happen you will draw everything that you need to you.

3. Access your super connective nature to facilitate graceful shifting. Don't be misled, potential is not all euphoria and excitement. There are jarring moments of contrast and discomfort, all self inflicted. Just notice that it is a signpost to the new. It will be a more graceful experience if you access your connective nature. It's key to connect during these times, especially physically. A phone call, a hug, a weekly mastermind... connection will bring it home for you. It will recalibrate your being and align you with your natural brilliance. There's NO reason to do it alone.

You are an essential element for the evolution of everything. As you take responsibility for the transformative nature of your being you will come to know the power and presence that is yours to wield. You must first BE it to KNOW that you ARE it. This requires a level of trust in your vision and your TRUE nature. One thing is for sure, if you're truly engaging potential, shift happens.

Passive Vs Active Creativity

By Susan K Loughrin

Each day you may wake up and write in your journal, practice yoga, meditate, or create something visual. In other words, you may have a consistent routine of creative momentum that brings you joy.

But where does this daily practice lead? You feel energized and creative; ready to begin your day, yet something seems amiss. How can these creative activities lead you to a new awakening? What are you yearning for that you would like to see brought to life?

It is at these times that we need to begin to formulate goals. To see a bigger or greater project based on our daily creative routines. It is vital and important to create each day. Now becomes the time to shift the mind-set.

There seems to be a necessary play between what may be called Passive versus Active creative work. The enjoyment of creating each day as part of your routine is necessary. Creating with a goal supports your need to actively participate in your life's purpose.

What is the main creative outlet in your life that you wish to "solidify"? How can you work each day towards your project goal?

Below is a list of steps that will support you in creating goals for your project journey:

1. Set aside time each day to do your "work".
2. Be proactive-you have a dream to create this project so set the stage for yourself and get to it.
3. When fears arise, practice affirmations, get supportive friends and share your thoughts, let the negative thoughts pass and get right back in there.
4. If a break is necessary, give it a time limit and get back to your task.
5. Set your goals into reasonable chunks of time.
6. Begin to look at venues that would be good to share your work.

Take a look now at marketing, preparing to share your work, shows, and presentations. This can be worked on in tandem, but is a necessary part of all creative work. How will you share it with others? Visualize what this will look like to you. Be thinking of your audience. Who would be most interested? The greater picture is to present, perform, and share your work.

Perhaps you have always been about the process of your creativity, but the wheels keep spinning. The performance (the presentation of your work) is a chance to use the spinning wheels to propel your artistic work straight up with the power of intention.

Where are you on your creative journey? Take the time to reflect on your own work and goals and share your brilliance.

How Creativity Helps You Think Outside of the Box

By Marita Steffe

"Creativity is God's gift to us. Using our Creativity is our gift back to God".
~The Artist Way

As stated in this quote from Julia Cameron the importance of being creative is clear. By using the gift of creativity people can heal themselves and their lives. The expression of your gift is different for everyone, some may enjoy cooking while others prefer to create sculptures or dance. Whatever your gift is in the creative realm it is something that makes you happy. We've all heard about dancing to the beat of a different drum and expressing your gift is much like that. You express your creativity in the way that feels best to you and it is an act of reaffirming your spirit.

What is Your Gift?
Over the years I have met many people, who were miserable because they had nothing they were passionate about, or they had something they loved to do, but did not do it because of self imposed time limitations or money limitations, stress or whatever other excuses they had to avoid being creative. This caused them to feel the pressure from inside themselves even more, the urge to be passionate, to find joy was there but they didn't take the time to discover it and explore it. The good news is everybody can get into the habit of being in touch with their creative inner beings.

Making Changes
We can recreate our lives at any time if we choose to. Nothing is more boring than doing the same routine over and over again, always socializing with the same people and going to the same places. So when you want to discover what you are passionate about, when you want to explore your creative urges you must first learn how to become comfortable with breaking out of a rut and shaking up your routine.

I ignored my creative passion for 30 years, to pursue more practical things in life. This did not serve me well. I abandoned myself and my spirit, which made me miserable. I was 30 pounds overweight, depressed, angry with the world, and totally stuck. If anyone knows the challenges involved in getting in touch with your gift it's me. For years I had this voice in my head telling me that if I would find my passion, would just become more open to being creative my life would work out. I chose to ignore this voice until it got so loud and I got so desperate, that I finally listened.

As a child I was taught that to be a successful adult you have to work hard and life is not supposed to be fun. When it finally sunk in that there is fun, there is passion and there can be creativity in life, I went on a soul searching journey. I found my passion and how to express it. I learned to have fun again and life is so much more colorful, exciting, friendly and inspiring. Being creative awakens our genius; we just have to open up to it.

I love to inspire and empower others and motivate them to pursue their dreams. To help them build the courage to dare to transform aspects of themselves and their lives and to remind them that they can do it.

"We learn to do something by doing it, there is no other way" ~John Holt
