Spirit -to- Spirit Guidance for the Heart and Soul...

Dear Dr. Kimble, I keep hearing that it is important to pursue what you love, create and have fun. Yet, I have no artistic or “creative” abilities. So, how do I tap into my creative side? -Baffled, Karen
Dearest Karen, For many, even mention of the word “creative” is auspi-
ciously akin to “art.” For those of us who consider ourselves artistically challenged, this can cause sheer panic. Fortunately, creative expression, while often inclusive of traditional “art” forms, ranges from one’s interest in organizing, gardening, baking the perfect apple pie, decorating, fixing a car, teach- ing, healing, public speaking, bringing joy to others, or just about any and all manifestations of individual expression. Our unique, one-of-a-kind ability to materialize the immaterial self is the gift we bring forth into this life upon conception. As long as one’s creativity involves passion, joy, and is an authentic expression of our inner being, each individual’s specific cre- ative demonstration, regardless of the result, is as significant and important to our individual and collective evolution as all others. When creative expression is genuinely representative of one’s passion(s), experience(s), perception(s), idea(s), and inner self then it is the unfolding of our spirit—the soul taking flight—that we are witnessing. Creative expression is our personal imprint, the elucida-
tion of our mind, body, heart, and soul in physical form. Our inherent ability to create shines a light upon our uniquely individual gifts while simultaneously affirming our connection to the collective universe. Creative expression is the vehicle for our often forgotten spiritual being to claim its presence in this physical world. Our ability to express ourselves in a creative manner propels our lives into balance: human and spirit, physical and nonphysical, material and energetic, yin
and yang. It is our primary means for transforming our spiri- tual selves into something tangible, something that makes the spiritual being human as well. In addition, tapping into this creative essence often brings peace, calm, relaxation, stress reduction, and a sense of meaning into our lives. For example, it is not unusual to hear folks make state-
ments like, “I love to garden, having my hands in the dirt somehow relaxes me,” or, “Whenever I’m stressed, I find that baking or cleaning the house soothes the soul,” or, “After a long day at work, going out to the garage to work on my car really helps me unwind.” For some of us our job responsibili- ties provide a creative outlet; helping others, creating relax- ing spaces, providing a service which helps or heals, and so on. You know when you are engaged in creative expression when the activity you are engaged in elicits feelings of peace, satisfaction, serenity, joy, excitement, and a sense of giving of oneself to the greater good. Creative expression is wings for the
soul...it is the dynamic
interplay between individual soul and collective spirit, the juxtaposition of the physical and the metaphysical, the in- tersection of the material and the cosmic universe. Creative expression tells us the story of each person’s unique energetic imprint – it represents the impression we make on this earth, during this lifetime, as spiritual beings cloaked in human form. So, take flight, set your Self free, and let the world behold who you are from the inside out.
In Light, Love & Spirit, Dr. Kimble
