Daily Angel Card, from the Universal Wisdom Oracle Card deck, by Toni Carmine Salerno: Creativity

Creativity: “The power of creation lies not in the external world, but within. It exists not in thought but in feeling. Your feelings are the gateway to creation.”

“Creativity is a yearning inside your soul; the life force and fabric of creation. You are a creative being by nature and the creative power you hold is far greater than you realize – as great as any artist that has ever walked this Earth. Your creativity is endless. You have drawn the Creativity Card today to unlock the creative power you hold and bring greater joy and wonder into your life. Creativity is not restricted to art and music; it can be applied to every facet of your life – your work, recreation and relationships. All these things will grow and transform in ways you never thought possible when you embrace the creative power of the Universe that you hold within. The time is right for you to let go of any fear or apprehension you have regarding creativity.

Set aside all critical judgement and just be you. Express exactly how you feel without worrying about what others will think. Let go of preconceived ideas and allow your full expression to flow through. Keep a journal in which you can start to express everything that you think and feel. Write down everything that comes to mind. Include all your dreams and wishes… allow your imagination to run wild! It is important that you feel safe to write anything that you wish, without having to worry about whether anyone else will read it, so keep it private.

You may also choose to paint or draw how you feel. Once again, do not think about what you will paint or draw. Just have fun and allow your intuition and feelings to express themselves however they wish. Every mark you make, even if you think it is just a scribble, is expressing and releasing something. You may also choose to share your ideas and feelings with someone you trust. This process will also help you express yourself and overcome your fears. Try not to judge the outcomes of these creative processes. Simply allow yourself to express your inner feelings freely.

Creativity is a feeling it cannot be thought out, or be limited by trends, or made to fit whatever is currently popular. Creativity is your inner child, the spirit of who you are. It yearns freedom. It is up to you to set it free.”

Unlocking your creativity will in turn unlock your passion. They are intertwined. Tapping into your creativity is a direct connection to the Divine, to your higher self and a higher consciousness. It’s the fastest and clearest way into “the Zone” that so many of us strive for. Time stands still while flying by, your blood rushes through your veins with renewed vigor, your inspiration feels like new young love. They are one in the same and essential to our soul’s freedom.

So let loose your unique gift of creativity to the world, show us what you’ve got!

Namaste
