Take yourself lightly, and learn how to play!

Welcome!

Thank you for joining me on this 12-step journey towards increasing your Creative flow and reducing stress.

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!

This is the final step in the series 12 Steps to a More Creative and Stress-free Life, but the Journey is far from over! If you would like to revisit the first 11 steps, you can visit the archives here.

Have Faith

This is not a calling to religion or spirituality, but rather, an opportunity to grow and expand.

Having Faith requires that you give up control. Faith asks you to trust and believe that everything will work itself out for your greater good, even though it may not appear so in the beginning.

This can be quite frightening for many folks, especially if you’ve lived a lifetime of needing to be in control of every aspect of your (or someone else’s) Life.

Resisting Faith can, and often does, lead to exhaustion of your Energy sources. Feeling like everything that happens to you, around you, and to those close to you is somehow within your control is a sure fire way to burnout quickly. It can leave you feeling defeated, physically and emotionally exhausted, and can even lead to sickness and disease.

Resistance is a form of Self-destruction – like road blocks you put in your own path. In order to maintain the illusion of control, the Ego constructs these road blocks. The role of Ego is Self-preservation; its job is to keep you believing you are (or will be) safe at any and all costs, and it will concoct whatever illusions it must to get you there.

Depression, anger, and anxiety are all forms of resistance. They create dis-ease, manifesting themselves as sluggishness, confusion, irritability, fear, and agitation. However, you do not have to be bound to these experiences, rendering yourself helpless or lost in them.

The Universe will always support affirmative action; this means you have to actually do something to elicit a response you can see.

Once you trigger an internal YES! by affirming your truest goals and desires, the Universe mirrors that YES! and expands it. Only then can doors open where there were no doors before.

Include hobbies as part of your Self-care

The experience of Creative living, and living creatively, argues that hobbies are essential to the joy of Life.

When you engage in hobbies you truly enjoy – whether they be athletic, creative in nature, or as simple as quiet time to decompress – you help to move that stagnant energy that is blocking your flow of Creativity.

Creativity, as used in these 12 steps, can be anything from Creative solutions to everyday problems, to magical works of art. You get to decide.

When that stagnant energy begins to move, you create a clear space for new Light energy to flow through. Once Light energy is flowing, you are better able to tap into the innate stream of Creativity that flows just beneath the surface of every person in existence on this earth.

As you serve your hobby, you become freed from your Ego’s demands and allow the experience of merging with a greater source. This is where Faith comes into play. Scaling back on your need to control every outcome in and around your Life allows you to increase in your trust that everything will work itself out as it is supposed to, for your greater purpose.

These are the experiences that guide you on your personal Journey toward growth, expansion, and evolvement. Get serious about taking yourself lightly, and work at learning to play.

Until next time,
