Here is Luna in her own words on her creative journey and what it means to be an Awakened Creator.
Tell us about your authentic creative expression. What do you love to create and why?
I have a deep passion for crafting visual art in the medium that resonates with me at any given moment. From creating tattoos to producing paintings, customizing clothing to filmmaking, I consider myself an all around visual artist. Painting is my preferred means of expressing my soul; when I blend colors and apply them to a canvas, I experience a sense of peace, as if I’m immersed in a profound meditation, channeling energy from the universe. As a spiritual individual, I find my greatest well-being and vitality in translating the creative images from my mind onto a canvas. It makes me feel alive.
What most often gets in your way as a creator and how do you stay in alignment and flow?
The primary obstacle in my path is, ironically: myself. I often find myself stuck in a cycle of negative self-talk, responses to past traumas, self-doubt, and self-sabotage. However, I am steadily gaining awareness of these tendencies, which ultimately serves as the antidote. As I become more conscious of my thoughts and the barriers I’ve created, I not only identify what hinders me but also learn how to overcome it. By acknowledging an obstacle, I believe it becomes possible to shift it. I stay in alignment with myself by doing a lot of self reflection, praying and practicing gratitude. It is a practice that gets you in a healthy flow of thought during the day. I believe everything is mental, how you see the world is how your state of mind is.
If you could offer words of wisdom or support to your fellow creators, what would you say?
If I were to share words of wisdom with my fellow creators, it would be to dedicate some time to solitude and the art of being alone. Invest in personal growth and self-care. Only when you are healed, you contribute to healing and helping the world, only then will you have the necessary resources. Show yourself love and remember to grant yourself moments of rest, cause I noticed the modern world tends to glorify workaholism as the norm. Don’t follow the crowd, follow your heart and peace of mind. When it comes to creating, embrace a leisurely pace; there’s no rush when crafting timeless art.
How did you become a part of the Awakened Creators community and what does being an Awakened Creator mean to you?
I became part of the community because [Amanda] reached out to me and told me some sweet motivating words of my art. I felt it in my heart, and saw the beautiful page she created and I wanted to be part of that community!

Do you have the desire to align with your authentic creative expression?
If you want to feel free to create from the heart, my HeART Alignment Creative Ritual guide will show you a pathway home.
I will personally guide you (with quick video lessons) through a simple yet powerful creative ritual that will bring your heART back online so you can start creating from that space again.
