Practice Makes It Real

In the spirit of continuing to create spaciousness, I’ve got another practice I’ve been trying. Here’s an alternative to working through your tasks so that you have time for yourself afterward:
Bring a creative essence, regardless of what you are doing.
This means finding the flow in the laundry. The meal preparation. The (gasp!) bill-paying. The vacuuming. Trimming the dogs’ nails. Brushing teeth. In the everyday exercises, the mundane movement. Not just in the separate chunks of time dedicated to creativity and spaciousness.
When I look to get the ideal situation (create a block of Me Time) in order to get the ideal results (relax to find my Peace and Flow), I miss out on a whole lot more of exactly what it is that I seek.

Ooo, heads-up: the bustling and beautiful holidays are coming! (No, wait, they’re here!) How do I regain my sense of peace and flow, and not just for the short-term?
Oh! There it is:
Create spaciousness. Read More
Discovering Your Flow

May I be blessed.
May I be held.
May I receive the peace of my center.
Tami Lynn Kent, from her book Wild Creative
What do you feel in your body as you read this? My belly melted, my chest expanded, and my eyes quickened with tears. Clearly there is something here for me. Perhaps there is a gift here for you, too.
Sit quietly with this prayer/mantra/meditation/intention/gratitude before getting out of bed each morning, and watch what happens.
