Part of what I do for a living is to paint peoples energy on canvas and it seems as long as I have a person that I am painting for I am fine. As soon as I try and sit at the canvas and paint just for the sake of making art, or to paint for myself I hit the dreaded roadblock. Everything that flows off my brush I hate and I get frustrated and walk away.
This block got so bad recently that I couldn't even bring myself to sit down in front of the canvas and I was terrified that this "block" was actually creating an energy block in my getting clients for the paintings I create specific to a persons energy. I also had the lovely fear that if I did get a client for a painting that I wouldn't be able to create as I had before.
Thankfully I have great friends and one of those amazing people in my life went the extra mile to help me break through. After an amazing little healing session with my great friend Tim Kessler, which included an awesome visualization and some therapeutic sound healing, he took me on a little adventure. We ended up at one of his friends where I got the opportunity to play with spray paint. A medium I had never used before but found to be versatile and so very much fun.
This small act on his part had a huge impact on me and allowed me to open up again to the creative flow. Knowing that with intention and remembering that creation is fun, I was able to step back into the flow and allow the art to flow from within in me instead of trying to force a preconceived idea. Trying to force the flow to happen was completely part of the block I had been facing. I had forgotten how to allow and play when working with the paints.
In going through this I had a realization. We face blocks or challenges in many areas of our lives and often get frustrated and feel like we are going in circles or just standing still. When this happens I feel we need to look at how we are approaching the area in which we are feeling that block or challenge. Have we forgotten how to play and flow in that area of our lives? Are we trying to force things to happen based on our expectations?
The solution generally arises when we let go and allow. Releasing our expectations to the wind and find that place of flow once again. Not having our heart set on a specific outcome and remembering that the universe always has our best and highest in mind even if the how of getting to the destination does not fit our preconceived ideas.
So think about it, if you are feeling boxed in or stagnant in any area of your life, try letting go of those expectations and trust that the universe has got your back. This is the place that miracles happen, this is the place that creates those magical moments that time just cannot touch....
But hey, you don't have to take my word for it, after all, these are just one girls thoughts...
The picture below is what I painted after the break through...
