I loveddddd it! Thank you for the wisdom. I completely released the fear of "losing inspiration". If I lose my flow, I will just focus on cultivating safety and engaging with the now moment, and what's present. This article, like many of your writing, isn't an article, a living transmission.
I am going through my first ever major creative block, i always thought my writing style would be collating research and conveying it, less of my own thoughts and words. But I feel like now I'm being called to bring forward my authentic self and talk about what matters to me differently than before. I've reached a point where I'm devaluing every thought and idea coming to my mind because of issues with self worth and perfectionism. Your article made me feel seen and heard, and gave me a different perspective on what I'm feeling. Definitely would be interested in the course
I also learned to sit with myself during the times I feel "uninspired"
I used to be so hard on myself for not creating anything during those moments but these days I'm more gentle towards myself,sometimes I get amazing ideas in those moments and sometimes I'm genuinely just exhausted and my mind needs rest
So I honor both of those moments without judgement
Your words really resonated with me today (and everyday, it's amazing how often you speak to my heart). I am on a quest that sometimes feels way too big for me, though I trust in God's plan. Everything I have been working for extremely hard on my own / with Spirit for the past year, and well before that too, is starting to come into light. And I am scared. I feel like I need to do it all perfectly, and put pressure on myself to have perfect faith, as if I am not allowed to be afraid or overwhelmed. I know the journey I am on will continue to be difficult. I am recently seeing these feelings as an invitation to deepen my faith and compassion for myself, and I thank you for the invitation to love these parts I see as less than holy, and to sit with all this authentically - it's helping me work through this block. I'm just out here cussing and praying haha, and I really appreciate you and your work.
I have often used this process to work with parts of myself that are holding trauma memories. I love the idea of engaging with the uninspired part. This is an incredibly helpful post!
L ove your reply. I’m new at posting. but have been in Xavier’s classes since Covid. Guess I’m a groupie! Just love his insights that faithfully give me more inner space.
Thank you for your wisdom, I will be trying this myself. I create abstract paintings and have techniques to help free myself up when the inspiration isn’t coming. I would be interested in hearing about other methods of overcoming blocks. I really enjoy what you are putting out there, you have a clear message thank you 🙏
I’m not a writer, I’m not a painter (though I would love to start. Fear is a part I need to release, DT chaos and the unknown I’ve grown up with. My Mother is just like me-or vs versa. I’ve done shadow work, but it involved energy work with it and it helped me get to feel, though I know how to, sit with and give myself and them love and compassion for sharing information with me. It’s something I have not mastered. I don’t know if it’s just for writers?. I would love to write. Poems are my thing. I choose to, when my brain intuition tells me. I get this urge. I’m just exhausted from peeling back layers of 51years of Ingrained conditioning and can’t get to the parts that are scared. I’ve worked so hard in inner child healing, NS regulation and so much more. Parts are extremely difficult to just hear and answer and in general. The only modality I’ve struggled with. Love this and if you feel called to, I would love to know more 🙏💛

Thank you for your kind words and for being here

Great insights. Thanks!

Glad you here. Please keep creating
Unsurprisingly you mic drop the truth. I too find if I ask myself why I can’t start anything, the answer usually surprises me.
"Resistance is a portal"
Absolutely love this

wow, Xavier.. the medicine of these words hits deep. The part where your tears flowed, as too did my own. Thank you for your heart openness.
Such a pleasure Jennifer thank you for reading

So gorgeous. So timely. Thank you. This has deeply re-oriented the relationship I have with the creative pulse. It's always present.
