17- The Embodied Stages of the Creative Process

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcastLike the metabolising of food, the creative process has phases, energetic properties we can support and cultivate, allowing us to embody the challenges, boundaries and explorations that characterise each phase. These are the stages I live through and by, and support people in recognising in their own experience so that we can genuinely move through these natural phases and express our contributions and gifts, without stalling and making an identity out of a phase we can't seem to move through.Emptiness, Inspiration, Play, Articulation, Doing the Work, Cutting the Ties, Delivering the Work.What's needed on one phase is counter productive in another. I've found this naming of the phases to be deeply helpful in maintaining a robust creative inner life, filled with passion, execution and the essential cutting of ties needed for us to deliver our work into the world.People aren't laking creativity, insight or contribution, but most have not been given, or give themselves the space to embody and integrate each phase of the process. “There are times to cultivate and create, when you nurture your world and give birth to new ideas and ventures. There are times of flourishing and abundance, when life feels in full bloom, energized and expanding. And there are times of fruition, when things come to an end. They have reached their climax and must be harvested before they begin to fade. And finally of course, there are times that are cold, and cutting and empty, times when the spring of new beginnings seems like a distant dream. Those rhythms in life are natural events. They weave into one another as day follows night, bringing, not messages of hope and fear, but messages of how things are.”Chögyam Trungpa RinpocheJoin the LLC Jewellery Family https://lorenlewiscole.lpages.co/jointhetribe/Come say hi on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/lorenlewiscolejewellery/?hl=en
