Engaging your Creative right-brain will help you unlock your full potential for growth
Welcome!
Thank you for joining me for another segment on the journey towards healing. I’m Rita, and I am a Healer and a teacher. It’s my calling to help people evolve, elevate and expand their thinking. I help people to heal through natural modalities that fall outside of traditional medicine. That’s exactly what you will find here, so I hope you’ll stay!
We are getting deep into Creativity as a vehicle for insight, change, inspiration, and personal evolution. If you would like to see where we started, check out my 12 Steps to living a more Creative, higher quality Life here
How Creativity helps you grow
Life is hard – there is no denying that. In order to navigate Life and make it through the good, the bad, and the ugly, it is imperative that you evolve. But making the inward Journey and clearing out all the shadows in your closet is no fun and definitely not easy. It’s no understatement to say that ignorance is bliss.
However, there are so many tools out there to help you in your growth, and Creativity is just one of them. Creativity, in the sense that it is used in this space, refers to any creative thought or action. This can mean everyday problem solving, magnificent works of art, or creative solutions in your own personal growth Journey.
Our world has become one in which instant access has disabled the part of the brain that was designed to think outside of the box. While small subsets are making strides in creative output (the engineers and designers at Apple, for instance), others are in the dark ages of creativity (the film industry).
Creativity is like a muscle that must be exercised regularly to become strong and efficient. Using that part of your brain to find unique solutions will help to increase confidence, inspiration, and Self-worth. Increasing these intrinsic values in one’s Self will bring down stress and increase quality of Life.
Caring for your Energy body through Creativity
Just as you lovingly nurture a child through imagination and play, so must you nurture that same part of yourself. Without tender love, care, and attention, your Inner Child can feel neglected, which ultimately can lead to a downward emotional and physical spiral.
Creativity, in all its forms, is a direct outlet for Energy. When stress builds, Self-care is lacking, and toxins are building up physically and energetically, it’s easy for Energy to become stagnant or blocked. Energy is meant to be in constant movement, and when its flow stops there are many visible consequences.
Blocked Energy can manifest as discontent or unhappiness, without any obvious cause; on a deeper level, depression and anxiety; and physically, stagnant Energy looks like mysterious aches or pains with no known cause, dis-ease and disease, rapid weight gain or weight loss, headaches, and more.
Keeping that flow of Energy in movement as often as possible will keep you feeling lighter, energized, and more vibrant about Life.
There is strong scientific evidence that memories are stored in our visual right-brain, right along with our subconscious and unconscious Minds. The left-brain, home to such things as analytics, logistics, and language, is also home to our conscious Mind.
Therefore, by engaging your right-brain through Creative acts, you are also accessing those often untouchable and inaccessible thoughts, feelings, and memories stored in your unconscious and subconscious Minds.
When you engage your Creative Self and unlock some of those deeply buried emotions and experiences, you are gaining a deeper level of understanding of your Self. It is through the process of creating, or Creative problem solving, that healing can take place. This is a wonderful opportunity for growth and insight!
So, keep on breaking boundaries of thought and experience by exercising your Creative muscles. You won’t regret it!
Until next time,
