Creativity Tastes Sweet

 “To be creative means to be in love with life.”
 ~Osho
​
We all create, and the taste of creativity is sweet and deeply satisfying.

It might be a craft project, a piece of writing, a painting, music, a recipe, a new organization system for that messy bookcase, or any project in which you are fully immersed in what you are doing while you are doing it.

You might be so involved that you don’t notice the passage of time and look up to discover that an hour or two has passed without your awareness. You are in the flow and it feels great. That’s the creative process.

Did you know that you are channeling Source energy when you do this?

In the process of creating you are bringing the creative energy of Source through you and into whatever project you are working on. You are loving your creation into being.

The process of creating can be like eating the most delicious dessert imaginable.

Afterward, each time you think about, look at or utilize your creation you can re-experience that sweet delight because creativity is love expressed and expressing. The love continues to express and is shared with others through the energy you imbued into your creation.

“Creativity is contagious, pass it on.”
 ~Albert Einstein

When I love the process of cooking, taking my time and enjoying the chopping, the measuring, the stirring and mixing, usually the resulting meal is eaten with appreciation. Everybody seems to enjoys it more, even our pickiest grandchild will at least try what is on the plate. I believe that what they respond to without even realizing it, is the love that went into the creation.

There is a marvelous movie, Chocolat. It tells the fictional story of a woman who opens a small Chocolaterie in a  French village. She creates her chocolates lovingly, passionately, and the lives of the townspeople who eat them are affected in fascinating ways through the energy she imbues into her chocolate creations. 

“I think careful cooking is love, don't you? The loveliest thing you can cook for someone who's close to you is about as nice a valentine as you can give.”
-Julia Child

Then, there are those special cooking shows that are all about love - love of cooking, love of food, love of family and friends. The chefs actively appreciate and savor the ingredients, smelling them, admiring their texture, color and freshness. They love their dishes into being as they create them. Then they share that love with family, friends and community. I find them a delight to watch because the love is palpable.

Creating in this way isn't just about cooking. We can all create with this sweet focus and love, imbuing whatever we create with the energy of Source.  It doesn’t matter what it is that we are creating. It could be a dinner party for friends, or it could be a new morning routine. What matters is the energy and the love with which we create.

Your Spiritual Toolbox

Creativity is the energy of Source as it expresses through you to manifest your desire.

Do you want to create a great cup of coffee? A beautiful, comfortable living room? Are you inspired to sew doll clothes? Write a detailed report? Organize the garage? Write a poem? Paint your deck? Run an inspirational group for women?

Love your creations into being and allow your creativity to flow into expression. Love the project as you work upon it, whatever it is, feeling your gratitude for the inspiration that catalyzed your creativity.
​
Invite your Spiritual Support Team, your personal guardian angels, to take part and enjoy the creative process with you. You can even ask them to send you an angel who specializes in whatever type of project you are creating. Businesses call in specialist consultants all the time, so why not call in an angel consultant?

You do not need to question that you have spiritual support. Your support team is at your side, as interested in what you are doing as you are. Your spiritual growth is what their work is all about.

“Creativity is God’s gift to us. Using our creativity is our gift back to God.” ~Julia Cameron

Expressing creativity and the loving energy of Source in your life is a path to God, so allow your creative juices to flow today and pick something fun to love into being.

Use an Affirmation of Creativity to set your intention – “I gratefully express the creative, loving energy of Source. I love this ­­­­­(your project name) into being.”

Whatever it is you decide to create, take delight in it and savor the process, for the love you imbue it with will be returned to you and all those who experience it, manifold.
