The Creative Spark Solved

I have always been kind of an art junkie. If it's not the symphonic nature of rock, it can be the lines in someone's face, the direction of a documentary or my appreciation of people who are great at their jobs (be it business or parenting), though they say they are not "creative types".

"Non-artists" put artists on a pedestal. And artists wonder "where 'it' comes from" and worry "when 'it' will go away" or, worse, "...come back!"

It's that thing that distinguishes an outburst of emotion from, say, Joan of Arc leading an army, the Grateful Dead reinventing musical performance or Tesla discovering how to provide electricity to everyone.

You may choose to say Tesla's greatest works remain unproven. And you may not resonate with the music of GD. And you may disregard Ms. Arc as precocious and crazy. But that doesn't discount the creative force of what we know these people have done.

So what is this elusive thing? What is the muse? What happens when we are inspired and why does it come sometimes or to some people and not others?

The answers begin with our heart. Through our heart chakra, we are in touch with our emotions and compassion. And the heart chakra is the doorway to our connection with spirit.

When we are the most receptive to our feelings as well as to impressions or hits from "beyond the veil", then inspiration, energy, ideas and spirit guidance flows freely.

It may be feeling the pain of loss, the joy of experiencing oneness with nature or the "a-ha" of a solution to a problem.

Through the heart doorway, we can learn to access these higher frequencies, up through the throat chakra-the place of truth and expression; through the third eye chakra-which senses information of higher energies and offers vision and hope; and through the crown chakra-the top of the head, our connection to our higher selves and spirit.

We can all learn to have access to these higher energies and to unlimited inspiration.

What we are talking about here is revolutionary. But only because these questions have been held up with the questions of the ages. It is revolutionary to think that we can tap into the universal creative flow by. . .turning on the faucet. But the faucet is our birthright!

We have been literally suppressing it, down through the ages.  We have believed that we need a designated authority to have access to spiritual knowledge and that there is always someone higher up the (human) chain to tell us what and how to interpret. We have believed that some truths are unknowable.

Beyond this is connecting directly ourselves. We all have unique creative gifts and we each have a unique relationship with spirit to guide us in our gifts. Even if we do not hear, see or feel spirit, the energetic phone line can be activated. We can release any blocks affecting our connection and we can practice accessing this connection so that it is ON.
