Where Does Creativity REALLY Come From? | Creative Flow State Explained 

Creativity is something that has been around since the dawn of time. It is a powerful force that can be used to create beautiful works of art, music, literature, and more. But where does this creative energy come from? In this video, Amanda explains the creative flow state and how to tap into it to access your creative potential. What is Creative Inspiration? Creative inspiration is a state of being that allows us to tap into our dreams, faith, and moments of presence. It is a breath of spirit that can be inhaled to awaken our creative potential. Creative inspiration has nothing to do with the mind, as it is a spiritual process that begins in the realm of infinite possibilities. For example, there are a million depictions of a rose in modern art. No one artist sees a rose the same way. Your unique perspective is what the universe craves and in this you get to choose with your awareness which imaginative perspective you would like to capture and receive. How to Access Creative Inspiration In order to access creative inspiration, we must be in a state of heartfelt presence. This means being in harmony with the creative flow process and trusting that we are the right individuals to perceive such a thing. However, there are a lot of things that can get in the way of allowing inspiration into the creative flow process. This can create dissonance and can make it difficult to access our creative potential. Once we have accessed creative inspiration, we can then move it into the mind. This is where a lot of people think that inspiration starts, but at Awakened Creators, we now know that it begins much earlier than that. Conclusion Creative inspiration is a powerful force that can be used to create beautiful works of art, music, literature, and more. It is a spiritual process that begins in the realm of infinite possibilities and can be accessed through a state of heartfelt presence. Once we have accessed creative inspiration, we can then move it into the mind and begin the creative process. The next video in this series can be viewed here, or you can read the article.

The Best Prayer for Creativity: The Awakened Creators Invocation

Listen up, because this is the creative ritual that I engage in before starting any creative project. It really helps me to release self-judgement and open up to creative flow. It is hands down, the best prayer for creativity I have ever used. The Awakened Creators Invocation (aka Creativity Prayer), is super easy to understand and use.  You can check out the quick video I made to explain the process, or just read this blog! Step 1 – Create Sacred Space The first thing that I have to do is create sacred space as part of my creativity ritual. I have a whole video playlist devoted to how to create sacred space as part of developing your own creative rituals here. Creating sacred space for my creativity includes: Locking the door Asking my family not to disturb me Clearing my energy (you can burn sage or just take some deep breaths) Center in my heart (you can hold crystals (link to crystals for creativity) or just place your hands on your heart) Step 2 – Read the Creativity Prayer Out Loud Now it is time to read the Awakened Creators Invocation, which you can download in my FREE Elevate & Create Guide. Note: This creativity prayer allows you to insert the name of your own personal concept of God. It does not require you to hold any particular religion or belief system or any belief system at all. You could pray to Yoda for all I care.  It is important that you read the invocation aloud and with sincerity. It will feel awkward at first and that’s okay. You will get used to it with time and soon even memorize the words.  And that’s it! Performing this super simple ritual for creativity is a great way to clear your mind, and prepare yourself for whatever experience wants to come through.  If you haven’t downloaded the FREE Elevate and Create PDF Guide you can do that here. The PDF of the invocation is gorgeous! I’m super proud of it! I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below.
