Here is Hilda 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?

Movement. My main love is dancing but I’m also learning to hula hoop dance. Next on my list is ribbon dancing, bongo drumming and slack lining. 
Basically, if it catches my attention and it looks like fun I’m going to want to try it out. After my awakening I just don’t hold back. As early as elementary school I was always drawn to music videos and I would watch on repeat until I learned them. Like many teenagers during the 90s, I was making choreographies and teaching my best friend so we could perform it to anyone who would watch. It’s funny, at a younger age we have no shame of fear or judgment. We tend to start feeling it when we become aware of other’s expectations. That’s when I allowed myself to bury that part of me.
At the age of 10, I can remember teaching myself how to use my parent’s camcorder to record my dancing. I also liked acting out scenes from my favorite movies.
It’s funny the entire loop back. It’s what always brought me joy at a young age and I just had to find my way back to it. All because I followed that random thought to try hula hooping, I ended up finding my love of dancing again.

What most often gets in your way as a creator and how do you stay in alignment and flow?

I find the days where my energy is lower I end up getting in my own way and ultimately can’t create from a space of flow. The fluidity of my movements only comes easy when I’m in a grounded mindset. Not even necessarily in a ”positive” mindset but the awareness of what I’m currently feeling in that present moment and if I’m okay creating from that space then I can. I find meditation prior to practicing or just a calm morning routine to start the day can help. Also, listening to high frequency music has been a game changer when I’m feeling out of alignment.

If you could offer words of wisdom or support to your fellow creators, what would you say?

Something I wish I was told when I started my journey of self discovery is that when inspiration hits out of no where to create or try out an entirely new thing, don’t dismiss that thought. I was out one day getting groceries and I randomly decided I wanted to buy a hula hoop. So I did that very day and it’s what lead to my discovery that I can control my movement in ways I never knew. Before my awakening, I may have been too distracted to catch that thought let alone pursue it. Second, and just as important, whatever you do…do it for you. Follow your intuition or what feels right to you. You are the creator of your reality. There’s no need for outside validation for your art. Whatever you create do it from the heart.

“There’s no need for outside validation for your art. Whatever you create do it from the heart.”

How did you become a part of the Awakened Creators community and what does being an Awakened Creator mean to you?

I found the Awakened Creator community through Instagram. Uplifting one another’s content allowed us to build a better connection. I have since participated in a few of the hosted meditations and plan to sit in on more. I believe that building connections, whether online or not, is how we progress. The more people, culture, ideas, conversation…diversity, the better I believe everyone will be for it. I have allowed myself to be open to building online friendships and connections.

The connection to the Awakened Creator community happened naturally and organically for me. For me personally it means creating from a space of awareness. When you’re doing something you love that’s aligned with your higher self, all that can come out of it is pure.
