Creative Flow

Hi everyone! So today Tameko and I did a show called Creative Flow.  We were bringing back Tameko's former blog talk radio show called Creative Flow.  We shared some writing tips and tips in general to get your creativity flowing, sacral chakra opened, and tapping into your inner child.  I started the show off with two quotes.  One by Alan Alda about Creativity and one by Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way, on how writing is healing:

“Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You can’t get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you’re doing. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover will be yourself.”

~Alan Alda

“We should write because it is human nature to write. Writing claims our world. It makes it directly and specifically our own. We should write because humans are spiritual beings and writing is a powerful form of prayer and meditation, connecting us both to our own insights and to a higher and deeper level of inner guidance.

We should write because writing brings clarity and passion to the act of living. Writing is sensual, experiential, grounding. We should write because writing is good for the soul. We should write because writing yields us a body of work, a felt path through the world we live in.

We should write, above all, because we are writers, whether we call ourselves that or not.”

~Julia Cameron

Here were the tips we shared that Tameko has shared during workshops she has done and in her new book "Light in You Unlimited" coming out soon (this Fall), tips I share with clients for Soul Exercises between their Meta-Soul Coaching sessions, and exercises from The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron:

-Burning Bowls: Write down all fears, anything holding you back, negative thought patterns, and/or any negative ideas you have on pieces of paper. Light the papers on fire in a fire proof bowl. This will be a signal to Source that you are releasing all of this and are ready to replace it with something positive.

-Morning Pages: Julia Cameron shared a very healing exercise in The Artist's Way about writing 3 pages every single morning when you wake up.  This is very meditative as you write whatever thoughts come to mind. There is no "right" way to write as long as you write for 3 pages right when you wake up. Be free and have fun with it. You can ask Source a question the night before and in the morning pages the answer can come to you if you truly listen.

-Thoughts of the Day: This is a great exercise to do if you have just moved, or have a new job or new relationship, etc. Write down before going to bed key moments that really stuck out for you through-out the day. It is good to document new experiences in your Life. You can also see the synchronicities in your Life and it gives you a clearer perspective on situations and lessons in your Life.

-Forgiveness Letters: Write a letter to whatever it is you want to release or that is holding you back. It can be a person, situation, yourself (ego), or emotions like guilt, fear, procrastination, etc. In the beginning of the letter write however you are feeling towards them. Put it ALL out there. Vent. Allow everything to bubble up to the surface. Then near the end of the letter or in a new letter think about/reflect on all that you have learned from this emotion, person, situation, and then release. Be totally honest with yourself. Show gratitude and fore-give. Because without them you wouldn't be here right now healing and moving forward.

Here is a Break-Up Letter I wrote to Fear on my blog. It was comical at times but also quite healing to write.

-Being Playful: This is a great technique in tapping into our inner child. PLAY! Play in paint, play dough, color in a coloring book with some crayons, watch a cartoon you liked as a child, listen to music from when you were a child, etc.  Do anything fun and playful.  This helps us to see the magic in Life, be in the present moment, and not take Life so seriously. Lighten up! ; )

-Everyday Meditations: In the Artist's Way, Julia talks about looking at everything as a meditation and a way to be creative.  This can be done by cooking, baking, washing dishes, decorating, fun exercises, walking, etc. Anything you are doing, if you are mindful and totally into it, it becomes a meditation and it becomes a way to express creativity.  This also taps into our inner child because as children everything we did was a fun adventure because we were totally one with whatever was at hand.

-Freedom Exercise: Julia also talks about writing down everything you aren't allowed to do that you would do if you could.  Her examples were walking outside naked, punching your boss in the face, etc. The point of this exercise is to not judge ourselves for any thoughts or feelings we may have.  To not suppress them because they aren't "good" things to do. This gives us the freedom to write however we feel and to remember we aren't those feelings so allow them to move. This is a good exercise to vent and confront any anger feelings we may have suppressed.  At first it may be hard because we police ourselves, but if you allow yourself to do it, it can be very healing as you are freeing yourself from the burden of suppressing all of those feelings.

-BONUS Exercise (Game Night): Play games with friends and/or family that were your favorite games as a child. This is also good for healing and nurturing our inner child. Have Fun!! : )))

Here are some videos I made on creativity. The first one is Quotes on Creativity to really help you in allowing your creativity to flow. This is freedom. We become vessels for the Divine. The other video is on the 10 Principles of Creativity in Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way book. Enjoy!

So next week's show will be a show called "Ebb and Flow" by Tameko. She will be relaxing at the Ocean doing a Soul Guidance styled show. So tune in next week at 9 AM EST to see what flows through her for the show.

Zen and Inner Alchemy

So today was a really interesting show. This was such a timely show with the Autumn season here in the Northern hemisphere representing the Phoenix rising and the Spring season in the Southern hemisphere representing the butterfly breaking out of the cocoon. Equinoxes are definitely a time for Alchemy.

We started the show off with this quote by Osho to connect Zen and Inner Alchemy since they are closely related:

"Zen is not a believer's world. It is not for the faithful ones; it is for those daring souls who can drop all belief, unbelief, doubt, reason, mind, and simply enter into their pure existence without boundaries. But it brings a tremendous transformation.

Hence, let me say that while others are involved in philosophies, Zen is involved in metamorphosis, in a transformation. It is authentic alchemy: it changes you from base metal into gold. But its language has to be understood, not with your reasoning and intellectual mind but with your loving heart. Or even just listening, not bothering whether it is true or not. And a moment comes suddenly that you see it, which has been eluding you your whole life."

We then got to talking about Zen and living a Zen lifestyle which is simply living a more mindful, simplistic life where we are fully in the NOW.  We had some tips to allowing this:

-Getting more intimate with our feelings. Getting out of our head and into feeling whatever feeling comes up allows us to be more present. Living from the heart and feeling is a connection to Truth.

-De-cluttering our life.  Cleaning out our cars, houses, work spaces, etc. Letting go of what we no longer need. Keeping it simple in Life. Our Life is a reflection of what is going on inside.

-Detaching from outcomes, people, things, thoughts, feelings etc.  Allowing all to flow in and out of Awareness.  Simply being the Witness.  Knowing that we are Joy and it doesn't come from "out there."

-Embracing our inner child. Having fun. Playing games.  Doing things that make us lighten ourselves up and become focused on this present moment more and more.

-Giving our full attention to whatever we are doing right NOW. If we are taking a shower, for example, truly feeling how the water feels on our body and tuning into our senses.  This will help us see the miracles all around us and that the ordinary is truly extraordinary.

-Being in Nature.  This helps us to be more present and to clear our minds.  We can feel the ONEness with ALL and it puts things into perspective for us.  This also reassures us that in this moment, there are endless possibilities.  We have no limits once we let go of the belief in limits.

We then talked about Inner Alchemy and how the word Alchemy comes from Kemet (ancient Egypt).  Alchemy means transformation or metamorphosis.

We both talked about how our inner alchemy has been surrendering more to this moment and allowing everything to be how it is so we can flow with it.  This helps us be our true Selves more and be at Peace.

Tameko shared with us a powerful affirmation that is good to incorporate in your day: "All events flow towards a beautiful outcome."

Here is a video I did on Zen proverbs, quotes and sayings. Enjoy!

So next week's show will be Tameko interviewing Charles Fox about "Fatherless Children" This will be an eye opening interview about this topic and how we can heal our past so we can move forward.  The time for this show will be different from our regular time.  It will be at 11 PM EST.  Our shows afterwards will be at 9 AM EST again.  Check back soon to see the upcoming shows that we have scheduled.  We have some great shows coming up and different projects Soul SiSTARS will be doing in the upcoming months.  I am moving soon so I will be back on Soul SiSTARS on Thursday October 27th at 9 AM EST  I look forward to being reunited with all of you and sharing new insights then.  Have a wonderful weekend Divine siblings! Namaste. <333

Staying True to You Part 1&2

Hey everyone! : )  So this week we did our first 2 parter show.  We were really excited for that! The first part was on Thursday and was about staying true to you in the midst of societal expectations or expectations from family and friends.  Some things we talked about during Part 1 were:

-Having a good sense of self esteem and empowering ourselves.

-Speaking up about any abuse we have been through and bringing it up the Light so we can move forward.

-Loving and embracing every aspect about yourself (physical, emotional, mental, etc)

-Letting go of comparing yourself with other people (friends, family, the media, society in general).

-Living for YOU and not for people's approvals.

-Making your JOY top priority. Letting go of needing to be "right" by other people's opinions.

-And having the COURAGE to unveil the mask you have been hiding behind and "coming out of the closet" in all aspects!



Here is a video I did that I feel relates to this topic called "Unveil the Mask and Let Your Light Shine":

So tonight on part 2 we focused more on the Spiritual aspect and talked a little about our Spiritual journeys.  Tameko started the show off by talking about the beautiful and insightful video she did called "Many Roads One Destination":

Some of the things we talked about tonight on Part 2 were:

-All paths in Life (religious or not) are okay because it is the Path for You.  If we all are going to a destination of "6" then it doesn't matter how we add it up, 1+5, 4+2, 3+3 because it all adds up to and leads to "6."

-Trusting in your heart for guidance.  Listening to this guidance in meditation or stillness.

-Everyone is a Spiritual Being playing the role of a human right now.

-Seeing through the illusions we hold onto to see our true radiant nature.

-Allowing yourself to explore different religions, teachings, etc. Not keeping yourself in a box.

-Tameko shared a meditation tip.


*And Tameko also recommended a book called "The Courage to Be Yourself" by Sue Patton Thoele*


So we really had fun with this topic and next week we will be talking about Natural Hair Care.  Sharing some tips and talking about our natural hair journeys.  So tune into that show next Thursday at 11 PM EST.  And check out all upcoming shows and any archived show at blogtalkradio.com/soulsistars.  Namaste! <3
