Week One: Art/Intuition: creative energy is intuitive energy
When I started learning how to access my intuitive abilities for healing, I soon realized that I was using exactly the same energy I accessed when I was acting, writing, singing, or dancing. Artists and creatives have an innate, tremendous access to energy that can benefit us in all areas of our lives. This week we will consciously access our creative/healing energy, invite it into present time, and use it as an intuitive tool to nurture our energetic system.

Lately, one way I take care of myself is trying to really enjoy my meal. I am trying to do this in two ways. 1) eat slowly and be mindful on just eating. When I eat alone, it’s very easy for me to multitask. But keeping my attention simply on eating is very centering and makes me chew longer (increasing digestibility of the food). 2) Consider atmosphere. Eating is a part of all cultures; all cultures have ceremonies and rituals surrounding food preparation and intake. Consider what makes a pleasant eating environment for you? For me, it’s being physically comfortable, sitting down, listening to music and being visually stimulated by my surroundings.
I’m interested how these habits connect with wellness movements like Slow Food and Ayurveda.
More on this topic soon…
