Creative Expression

February will be a time to express our creative gifts in a direction that feels productive and fulfilling to our Soul.

The following ideas can help us express our creative gifts in ways that feel positive to us.

Drawing – Whether you think you can draw or not, drawing helps to activate parts of the mind that may have been dormant, allowing for greater insights and ideas to come through for you.

Journaling – There’s something very freeing about expressing our thoughts and feelings on paper. It helps to give us clarity, and opens the mind to new ideas and inspirations.

Spending time in Nature – Nature has a way of speaking to us if we choose to listen.

Taking a few minutes each day to just “be” in nature, admiring the colors, shapes, and textures all around you, will help to awaken the creative mind.

Body movement – Moving our body through dance or exercise releases stagnant energies in the body and mind. This creates greater clarity for the mind, and opens us to connecting more with our creative, artistic nature.

Playing – As adults, we often forget the importance of putting all of our grown-up responsibilities to the side, and just experiencing some fun and play. This helps to reset the mind, in a way that allows us to feel fresh and ready for those moments when new inspirations and creative insights reveal themselves to us.

Remaining the eternal student – Spending a few minutes each day learning something new will keep the mind flexible, and open to receiving new creative ideas.

If we are not giving ourselves a healthy and productive outlet for our natural creativity, our mind will still find ways to be creative, but often in a direction that doesn’t feel joyful and expansive to us.

So if you do find yourself in energies of lack, worry, fear, judgment, or anything similar, just use that as feedback, that your mind is asking you to give it a creative outlet that feels intentional—something that feels expansive to you.

Embracing Our Inner Child

February will also be a time to nurture, heal, and embrace our inner child.

Our inner child is not here to take on the world’s predicaments by making them her/his own, or to be a grown up.

The purpose of our inner child is to play, have fun, and enjoy the abundance of magic life has to offer!

Because of all of the challenging experiences we as empaths have gone through, due to our being hypersensitive to our environment, most of us have come to associate our inner child with the energies of sadness, trauma, and hardship.

The energies of this month are here to remind our inner child to keep things light, and to unwind herself/himself from the heavy-feeling illusions of the old paradigm.

One of the biggest illusions is the inner child’s need to complicate things, which stems from it wanting to feel safe and protected.

The inner child is made to thrive on the simple things in life. Things like love, joy, peace, fun, and play are just a few examples.

Over the next few weeks, we have the opportunity to let go of the attachments we have to making things complicated, and create more space for simplicity in our lives.

This will happen naturally. The only thing asked of us, is to be willing to move in this direction.

We can also be proactive with nurturing, healing, and embracing our inner child, by telling it something similar to the following:

“Dear Inner Child,

I see you, I love you, and I support you unconditionally.

You are free to return to your truest aspect, which is love.

I free you of the need to take on grown-up matters, and I remind you that your only intention now is to have fun, play, and enjoy life.

This is what you came here for! I am here for you, always.”
