From the moment of your birth, there has always been a part of you that remains untouched, the essence of self. You might call it your divine spark, your inner knowing, the quiet presence that carries you forward even when other parts of you hesitate or hold you back.
In the vast fabric of the Universe, you are not simply placed here. You are an expression of creation itself. Not only have you been formed as a being in human shape among the living tapestry of this planet, but your smile, your presence, your words, and your breath ripple through the world, weaving rhythm and meaning into the story of existence.
Your creative force dwells at the centre of your being, though at times the memory of it can feel faint, obscured.
In nature, the birds sing, the flowers bloom, the trees stand sentinel, each existing with its part in the great coherence of life. So too is your essence drawn towards that same harmony, called to awaken your inherent ability to take part in the awe of being, forming and creating.
If my very being is a creative force, how have I forgotten?
That resonance has never left you. It lives still within your cells, within your soul. And yet, fragments of early years conflict with that purest impulse to express and create. One part of you longs to be free, to live without confines, to create, inspire, play, and belong to life itself. And yet another part holds you back, wearing many faces, cloaked in fear, resistance, and the heavy illusions that cloud your inner truth.
The masks you have worn for protection become habits, distractions, excuses, self-criticism, and worry. They fracture the very essence that longs to be whole.
Yet your spirit continues to yearn. It longs to flow with life, to create endlessly, to live abundantly, and to express without hesitation. When your body softens into its natural state, attuned to your thoughts, senses, and breath, you return to the rhythm of life itself.
The Universe does not only surround you. It lives through you, within you, responding to your thoughts, shaping itself around your words, moving in harmony with your feelings. You are a creator by nature, shaping reality with every breath.
Endless possibilities unfold before you when you remember. Life itself waits patiently for you to step fully into what you already are.
In this episode, I share my recent experience of finding rhythm and flow, and accessing more of my creative potential, plus a guided meditation to awaken your creative force, deep trust, and rhythm within.
