Over a year ago I felt my creativity dwindle and fade away after a 10+ year expansion. I felt it and ignored it for a while. Then reluctantly and slowly completely let go. I have been wintering since then. What was interesting is that once I stopped pushing and surrendered I felt deeply aligned and at peace for most of a full 10 months.
As Spring energy returned I so dearly wanted my creative energy to return too but it didn’t... until now. And when it’s been gone a while you can really feel it’s return! External conditions affect us all for sure but the creative impulse has its own rhythm and comes from deep within.
As my creative energy slowly returns I am feeling a deep transformation in what I am desiring to create and the pace is steady... like a slow exhale... rather than a huge burst .
Remembering our cyclical creative nature, how it feels, restoring and embodying it... I feel that is all of our work now!
Remembering how can we live sustainably out in the world and most importantly in our own lives. Thanks Rhiannon for your creative wisdom weaving. 🙏🏻🌀🌸
I find the dormancy so fascinating. I had been in a a creative cocoon for about 4 years, navigating A LOT of grief and transformation. It felt as though the fluency in my generative inspiration gently went into the liminal to mature and integrate with aspects of my shadow. I have new respect for the quiet moments, for the spaciousness of my creative ebbs. I resonate with your share about FEELING the resurgence! The quiet sharpened my reception, helping me to feel the immense potency of my creative force when I entered into the generative rhythm again.
Thank YOU for sharing your experience and offering wisdom that you have embodied through your own rhythms :-)
I needed this today, thank you 🧡 going to allow myself to rest and integrate instead of imposing a schedule onto my natural ebb and flow of pace and capacity. My rhythm is mine. Powerful wisdom!
This made my day :-) So glad you felt the resonance and listened WITH your very own knowing about your NEEDS. This week I am listening and learning with how to embody my needs. How to FULLY BE my needs. Knowing that they are a crucial part of the equation when it comes to me creating the desires brewing in my heart.
All good and profound inquiries. 🙏🏻
