EP24: Find Your Voice (Confidence Building Activities)

Finding your voice is so important because that’s how you can discover what message you want to speak to the world. It may sound like an intimidating process, but it’s easier than you think. In this week’s episode, you’ll learn about finding your voice with confidence-building activities.

Part One of ‘Find Your Voice (Confidence Building Activities)’

Rae Irelan is an inspiration to many people, which is why many transformational leaders, coaches, entrepreneurs, and creatives love working with her. 

Rae Irelan grew up as a dancer despite being super shy. She had random memories of being speechless every time she gets introduced to her mom’s friends. 

And because she struggled to express herself through words back then, she found dancing to be such an incredible opportunity to express herself. 

She also tried singing, which led her to become a musician and touring all around the world for many years.

“Live in the moment.” - Rae Irelan (11:01-11:05)

Her simple story serves as a simple reminder that it’s essential to pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone so you can learn how to be comfortable there instead of just taking these baby steps. 

No matter how you fail at something, you just have to keep on trying because success doesn’t happen overnight. Always be brave enough to take that huge leap forward.

Part Two of ‘Find Your Voice (Confidence Building Activities)’

For you to be in that space of learning and exploration, you must break your old beliefs and patterns. Create something brand new by being more intense with your confidence and clarity.

“Finding your voice requires being present during the transformational process.” - Rae Irelan (17:00-17:11)

Be able to express that in a way that others can feel. Think about it on a bigger scale; we can make a massive impact in the world. 

Aim to live in the present moment. Let go and stop trying to control everything.

Instagram Strategy For 2020 - with Sara Kas

“Be loyal if you want a loyal Instagram audience.” -Rae Irelan (15:49-15:54)

Are you wondering what strategies work for Instagram for this year 2020? Many people struggle with creating an engaging and loyal audience. Sara Kas is the CEO of Sarazkas, personal branding, and social impact expert. 

She is an Instagram strategist for six-figure leaders, coaches, and entrepreneurs who are interested in leveraging the platform for lead generation and their ideal clients. So, she helps them create visibility in their niche, also creating a global impact.

In this week’s episode, you’ll learn about:

• What are the practical Instagram strategies that work for 2020?

Part One of ‘Instagram Strategy For 2020 - with Sara Kas’

What does it take to create a highly engaging post? How can you turn your educational content into something easy to understand yet entertaining? 

Chasing trends to go viral is one way to make it work, but it's better to create a connection, a deeper relationship with people, and provide that value with them.

“Instagram can bring you engagement and client leads.” – Rae Irelan (18:14-18:22)

Take the time and the courtesy to respond to people who have responded to your stories. If someone doesn't engage with your post, tomorrow's a brand-new day. Let go of the negative mentality and focus on how you can interact more with your audience. 

Also, you have to be loyal if you want to attract a loyal audience. As a result of building meaningful connections, that brings you a lot of engagement and client leads too. Your business should be an extension of you.

Part Two of ‘Instagram Strategy For 2020 - with Sara Kas’

When you post something on Instagram, you must realize that they want to feel the energy behind you, and they love storytelling. You want to provide educational content but not in a boring way. 

You can make it fun and something that they want to learn from. And if you do that consistently, it's going to draw the right people to you because they're going to see that you're providing value.

“There are ways to utilize Instagram that make a global impact.” - Rae Irelan (21:42-21:48)

Vulnerability is also essential if you want to create a connection with your audience, but it doesn't necessarily mean talking about anything under the sun. The more that you can show who you are, the easier it will be for people to feel that safety. 

Don't stick to short term gains only. You want to be building a brand that's going to stay with you so that no matter how you pivot, it's going to be there. If you're creating something that has such a strong foundation, it's going to stand through time. 

Lastly, your goal on Instagram is to create something where you're leading people through a journey and leading them eventually off the app to connect with you.

How to Expand Your Business by Listening

What does your soul desire to put out into the world? Do you want to wake up every morning feeling excited and fulfilled, knowing there's something new that challenges you? When you are in that soul-aligned place, your business can make such a more significant and profound impact. In this week's episode, you will learn about:

• The five critical steps to being able to expand your business by listening to your soul
• How you can utilize these five things to be more soul-aligned

Part One of ‘How to Expand Your Business by Listening’

Let's go through the five different steps so you can step into your soul's calling.

• Listen

Create the time and space to listen, because if you're wanting to expand, there must be something that's not quite working. Something that is leaving you unfulfilled as a creator. And there's something that your subconscious and your soul is trying to tell you. We're too busy trying to create that we forget how to structure the issues that might be coming up in your business. It's crucial to make micro-adjustments before going down the road. 

Business is an art form. You are an artist. You're creating and crafting this beautiful piece of art that you're going to put out to the world. So, remember that it takes time. Let go of the expectations and pressures of needing to see results immediately. Being in that place of listening gives you the space to breathe.

Are you giving your business breath that space to breathe and have that sense of awareness? This is so powerful for business owners to do. It's that opportunity to zoom out and see the big picture of what is happening. And is it really producing the results that you were hoping it would be producing? Sometimes we'll get into the business, and we get so caught in the small picture that we lose the big vision of what we were creating and what we wanted to do for the world.

• Find your dream. Discover what inspires you.

This could be something totally different than your business. Maybe even scrolling on Instagram. Perhaps you found someone that intrigued you. You don't know why, but you're following them all of a sudden. Or maybe you went on to talk, and you found this hilarious thing that just lit up your day. And now you watch this super random tag stream of crazy videos. Sound familiar? Go into what is inspiring you and ask yourself, what am I finding myself dreaming about in the middle of the day when I could be working my business or working on my relationships?

There's compelling energy behind being inspired, no matter how silly or how different it is from your current reality. It's asking you to look at something from a different angle and just experience it. It's different from what the mind and body are wanting. Sometimes our soul craves things that we don't want. Maybe it's growth or expansion that could sometimes make you feel uncomfortable. Whatever that is, even if it feels irrational or has nothing to do with your business, your soul can connect you with your higher self. Just explore it. See what comes up from just having it in your energy field. It will inspire your business because you are that core piece that is connecting your inspirations to your business.

“You can create a greater impact when you're soul aligned.” - Rae Irelan (00:57-01:04)

• Get real

This is where you get to ask yourself, how can you feel, experience, and utilize the energy of whatever just inspired you and add more value to your business? Take that time and space for yourself because you will be the one to know what your soul is saying. You can go out and get opinions from friends, family, lovers, teachers, and mentors.

• Implementation

This is where you can start bringing all these small pieces together, understand how this inspiration can come into your daily life and your business implementation. Are these inspired action steps? They can be small, but you have to realize that expansion doesn't happen all at once. A lot of times, with social media, we tend to see these giant leaps that others take. You see them in their prosperous state, but you don't see all that's happening behind the scenes and all those little steps that they're taking. So, do not get tricked into thinking that success can come so quickly. It is always a process that gets built on top of one another.

• Reflect and integrate

Start making adjustments that can help realign business with your soul and what you're truly desiring to put out into the world. These changes can happen. And as we make these changes right where we're playing here, we're expecting a new outcome to happen immediately. How often does that happen for you? The thing is, it's not working sometimes. 

We need to let go of expectations that everything's going to shift on a dime as soon as we internally shift. That can cause a lot of frustration and a lot of separation because you're experiencing something internally that feels like it came to this line. It's solid, it's strong, it's empowered. And then you look out into your life and realize that's not the same thing. Just give it time because that's where the tests come in your soul. Are you going to stay in alignment even if things aren't happening right away?

Part Two of ‘How to Expand Your Business by Listening’

Are you ready to decide to start listening to what your soul is calling you into? It can be an exciting and terrifying process but the journey is worth it. It's about showing up no matter what. Live fully and be courageous in taking those leaps of action and putting yourself out there even when you don't want to.

“Inspired action can take you closer to your dream.” - Rae Irelan. (03:33-03:40

From there, the expansion happens if you create this time and space to listen. Connect with your inspiration and your dream. If you get real with yourself in terms of what needs to shift and change in your business, you can be more aligned.

EP21 What is a Social Entrepreneur (And Why It Matters) with TR Garland What is social entrepreneurship? Why does it matter in today’s age? 

Let’s understand this concept further and see how we can leverage it to enjoy a sustainable life with purpose.  

In this episode, we invited T.R. Garland, a speaker, author, coach, and a leading authority in helping purpose-driven professionals turn their mission into movements. 

Part One of ‘What is a Social Entrepreneur (And Why It Matters)’

Social entrepreneurship is about serving the community's needs over profit while also not ignoring funding or profits. 

Now, marketing plays a significant role in socially conscious entrepreneurs or organizations because the more you share with the community what you stand for, the more they are going to resonate with your message. 

Your mission is your core connection. And so your mission develops into your messaging, and then your message is applied to certain marketing methods.

What we have to do as leaders in the socially responsible entrepreneurship arena is to empower others. Don't try to keep your opinion on the inside. 

But you must also remember, all purpose-driven professionals need to take a deep breath and realize that they must profit to fulfill their purpose. 

 “We're done with old ways of settling” - Rae Irelan

While most people would like to help the world, some of us are quite hesitant to start as it takes a lot of money, time, and effort. And naturally, we want to take care of ourselves first so that we can take care of others too, right? What type of mindset do you think we should have to overcome this?  

It's time to have a new definition of ROI. Instead of calling it 'Return of Investment,' change it to 'Ripple of Impact.' 

You lead first with a focused strategic contribution, and the law of reciprocity will work in your favor. Eventually, you will begin to amass an army of advocates. These advocates will magnify and multiply your message for you. And this, in turn, will earn a fair exchange and value for your products and services so that you can take care of yourself and your loved ones. 

Part Two of ‘What is a Social Entrepreneur (And Why It Matters)’

Your mission can turn into a movement. But how are you going to do this? T.R. has developed a seven-step sequence for turning your mission into a movement. You can find these steps below. 

Mission - Message - Marketing - Media - Motivation - Magnify - Movement 

“You've got to get crystal clear on your mission." - T.R. Garland  

And lastly, have you ever heard of the 3Ms of Marketing? It talks about the sequence of understanding the market, creating the message, and using the right media. That's the old version, and we were taught to understand the market first so we can create a message for them. 

The new way of doing it in social entrepreneurship is that we put the message (mission) first before the market. Your messaging will then filter out your clients.

In summary, focus on your mission and develop your messaging from there. Your message is designed to pre-qualify and disqualify the market. And don't forget, let authenticity and truth come in.

Creating a sustainable business and a thriving business isn't always easy. So, when the tough times come rolling in as it does for everyone, is your vision big enough to give you that momentum to keep going? Think of all those people that are desperately in need of your service, that are not able to receive the support because you were not clear on how to run a business. Understand why your dreams and visions are essential. Make them bigger than yourself. In this week's episode, Rae Irelan talks about transformational leadership in 2020.

Part One of ‘Transformational Leadership (How to Grow in 2020)’

We're seeing a lot of chaos and transformation happening on a global scale. In terms of stepping up into your leadership in these times, you're going to need the ABC which stands for authenticity, business, and creativity. Let's kick it off with authenticity to start. People nowadays are disgusted with outdated belief systems. People are tired of getting sold fake news. There's a lot of questions that are happening like who should we be listening to? Who should we be able to believe it, and who can we believe in this time? And so, there's a lot of uncertainty that's stirred up, which makes it even more important to be leading from a place of authenticity. The world is just craving for it right now. When you can deliver your authenticity, there's going to be a nice nurturing response that will happen from your viewers, your clients, and people that you're interacting with.

“Your big vision must keep you going when things get tough.” - Rae Irelan (10:49-11:02)

In our society, we've been taught how to use these tactfully manipulating skills to get ahead, especially when it comes to doing business. There's kind of these little ways that you can deceive someone into closing the sale. And these are being taught and passed down. But it also affects our relationships and the authenticity that we have in the life that we're creating. This is a time where tricks are not the first thing that you should be trying to do. Remove your mask and show what's underneath. That way, you can start to establish more trust.

Trust is one of the most important pieces of leadership in 2020. There needs to be a trust that is built and then continued to be sustained. There needs to be energy put into creating more trust with everyone that you are in communication with, including your clients, potential clients, viewers, your tribe, and the community that you are leading. Those are some critical pieces of authenticity. People are wanting to understand what they can control and what is certain. It's a significant time as a leader to be able to show your results that you've been able to achieve.

And here's where authentic sales come in. It's more important than ever that if you can help someone, then do that. Help them stand up in your leadership and act immediately. Remind yourself that you have a moral obligation and responsibility to serve, especially as times get more chaotic and crazier in the outside world. This is something that you can try on for yourself to understand how you need to be stepping into your truth and showing up more to be of more service.

This is not a time to hide your greatness. There might be some people that use the chaos of the world as their excuse for why they're not stepping into their leadership. You cannot do that to yourself. You will know if you're doing this by looking at yourself in the mirror and asking that question. And so, if you feel like there's been extra fear coming in because of world dynamics, then this is the time to make a pivot point. Switch your mindset and focus on the responsibility that you hold.

Part Two of ‘Transformational Leadership (How to Grow in 2020)’

There are the basics of messaging, marketing, branding, sales, organization, strategy, all of these pieces that you need to understand as a leader. That way, you can efficiently leverage your time and be able to understand how to make a more significant impact. Not having enough time should not be in your vocabulary because you need to be willing to become a student. Maybe you've learned pieces of business here or there, or you've learned the business in school from professors who have been taught business themselves but have never actually run their own business. It is super important to understand the ins and outs of business as they are currently being run in today's society.

Most leaders, entrepreneurs, and coaches end up losing thousands, sometimes millions of dollars, because they're trying these different formulas or strategies instead of using proven methods that have already been done time and time again very successfully. Sometimes, they're even losing countless hours or sometimes years, and that can feel scary. And that can be terrifying to think that if you've such a big mission, such a big message to share with the world and you're missing out on years because you are doing trial and error that someone else could have helped you with. If you understand the business a little bit more, you could have jumped ahead. These are some essential pieces to just think about as you're wanting to step into the transformational space in 2020.

“Share your creativity by utilizing stories from your own life.” - Rae Irelan (14:57-15:04)

The most powerful leaders show up when things get tough. But in business, it's super important to have coaches or mentors that can help you along the way. You should have someone who has already been in your shoes and is in a position that you'd like to be in. Eventually, they'll be able to tell you the most real and honest advice and help you navigate your business. You might be able to shorten the amount of time or double the amount of impact that your mentors are doing. It is time to stand out. It is time to figure out how to get above all the noise and the clutter of leadership that's happening, and really show who you are so you can do that by just being you. You're already unique enough. You just need to share those parts in your leadership. The more that you're clear on your unique angle, the easier it's going to be for you to identify it with clients that are a perfect match for you. In return, for them to be able to identify you as their perfect coach. And you'll be able to make a bigger splash and more profound impact in the lives of people that you're serving.

How can you be in your creative space once a day? And that might mean adjusting other priorities. Some ways that you can understand and learn how to share your creativity is to utilize stories from your own life. And these compelling stories, no matter what life you're living, it will just open up a whole new room full of creativity for you to play with. Play with your storytelling. Sometimes, your vulnerability can attract potential clients to work with you simply because they can relate with your story in a deeper way. And they see you as a human, not just a leader. Creativity truly comes when there is enough space. Make sure that you set up your creative time. It's as important as other business things that need to be taken care of. Make sure that you have these segments of time where you can just be creative, or you have space. Whether you like to sing, dance, paint, or write, take the time to do that because it's going to spark new ideas for how you can be a better leader.

To all the transformational leaders out there, IT'S YOUR TIME TO STEP UP!

My Near-Death Experience and How It Changed Me 

 "I was placed here on the planet to do something."Rae Irelan  

Some experiences in our lives are the trigger point for change. In this case, I almost faced death to realize what I needed to do with my life. 

In this episode, I will share with you my thoughts about my near-death experience and how it affected my views in life. 

Part One of My Near-Death Experience and How It Changed Me 

For those who do not know, I was a touring musician. Our career was going well, and I gave my whole heart and soul to that for many years. Think about doing 20 to 25 shows a month. We have a booking agency and management team, and it was just a lot of excitement. I immersed myself in the world of live music and rock and roll. 

"The biggest lesson that I received in my near-death experience was our resiliency as humans." - Rae Irelan (12:28 - 12:37)

To cut the story short, what happened was, I got into my car while I was upset. My life at that time was not at its best. My relationships were messed up, and my love life was in shambles. I would usually turn to drugs and alcohol to help me deal with my emotions.  I wanted to get out of that life. 

And then I met an accident. My car went flying off the freeway, and I felt the car rolling, which was odd because I had the same dream since I was a little. And I thought it still was. Then, I heard a voice that I had never heard before. It wasn't the sound of my inner voice. It was definitely outside of me. 

That voice basically told me, "You've been asking to leave your whole life. This is your gift. I want to give you a way out." 

That's when it hit me. It was not the time to leave. I was not ready, and I haven't completed what I was brought here to do. I was thinking, "Please let me stay. I need to do what I was brought to do."

I finally heard an 'OK.' I was coming back to my full consciousness. The last few tumbles happened, and then there was silence.  

Part Two of My Near-Death Experience and How It Changed Me 

So I made out alive, and I was able to scramble up my way back. A man who was driving behind me was in shock and told me the story of what happened.

Upon hearing it, I was almost ecstatic, knowing that I am alive. 

I was ready to go back home to write my ideas. I wanted to hold my loved ones and call everyone. And then reality hit me. 

I saw lights of an ambulance, fire trucks, and cop cars. They slammed me against the cop car, and I was arrested. While I was sitting at the back of the car, I thought, "This is not what I imagined." 

Most of us, when we are in a similar situation, you might think that this wasn't something you signed up for. In reality, these pieces of our lives, me sitting back at that cop car and waiting in the jail cell, strengthened me in my core. It made me realize that no matter what darkness you surround me with, I will shine my light. 

You have to choose what you want to be in your life. And if you deeply believe in that, it’s going to happen. It’s a declaration. 

It is the reason I created Soul Aligned show. I want people to get clear with their mission and purpose. Remember that you are brought here for a reason. 

There are many people with anxiety and depression who are still dealing with it because they are not taking action.   

"One of the most dangerous places we can be as leaders is to not be in alignment with our truth." - Rae Irelan (16:12 - 16:21) 

Another lesson that I learned from my experience is the 'TRUTH.' When you look at the mirror, do you see the same things that people see in you? I thought, all of the stuff inside of me, I had never shown to the world at that point. It was a time for me to reveal myself to others. And the first step was to forgive and accept myself.

All the pieces of you, all the ones that you were hiding, all the ones that you didn't want other people to see - bring it forward. It magnifies the light that you already are in the world because people can finally relate to you and can finally feel the humanness inside of you.

Your limiting beliefs have shaped everything that you do. You have to get rid of them in order to rise up to the next level. In this week's episode, Rae Irelan talks about overcoming limiting beliefs in under ten minutes.

Part One of ‘Overcome Limiting Beliefs in Under Ten Minutes’

Do you sometimes feel like you're trapped in a cage? These are profound questions to ask. What are you doing in there? Then you realize that the front door is actually open, but you never even thought of checking.

You see that it's been open this whole time. What happens next? You keep running in circles. You keep listening to the voices that are in your head and making decisions based on your limiting beliefs.

“There are many practices that one can learn to overcome limiting beliefs.” – Rae Irelan (04:22-04:28)

Your limiting beliefs hinder you from being the best version of yourself. They stop you from being in a place of integrity, congruence, love, and unity. They keep you playing small. Get started by being clear on what a limiting belief is. It's best if you can boil it down to one sentence.

Limiting beliefs are usually something that you've been dealing with your whole life. They could be holding you back for some time. If not your entire life. These could even be deeply felt ancestral beliefs.

The first area that you can look at is your body. You want to be able to be physical. You can get active. Release limiting beliefs stored in your physical body. Go for a run. Take a dance or a yoga class. Go for a walk. Hit the gym. Go out surfing. Go for whatever gets your body moving and your blood pumping.

You'll start to feel the physical shifts happen. When you bring the intentional release of limiting beliefs into that picture, it can be powerful. When you're in this state being very physical while in the middle of the exercise, you can release your limiting beliefs.

Part Two of ‘Overcome Limiting Beliefs in Under Ten Minutes’

Make a journal about limiting beliefs that stick in your mind. Allow your mind to wander, to understand it. Look at it from different angles. Write it out. It's that outward expression of what you're internally going through. What you're shifting. Circle the limiting belief. Allow words to fall onto the paper.

“Either settle for short fixes or sustainable changes.” – Rae Irelan (04:33-04:38)

Pursue what brings you into a spiritual state. Sitting in meditation. Enjoy nature. It's vital to know that you're not just trying to get rid of them. We're giving those limiting beliefs a voice. Recognizing our ultimate power as the creators of our life. It's all up to you. It all depends on how you want to live.

Defining Success Beyond Profit -What Lights You Up Inside?

“There are different ways that we can be striving for success in our lives.”Rae Irelan 

Do you feel like you're continually searching for holistic success and the feeling of being fulfilled? And no matter what level of progress, you still desire for more. The truth is that every person in this world defines success differently. But sometimes it all boils down to what lights you up. In this week's episode, Rae Irelan talks about defining success beyond profit.

Part One of ‘Defining Success Beyond Profit [What Lights You Up Inside?]’

There are different ways that we can look at success and define success, and also different ways that we can be striving for success in our lives. To see it from a healthy perspective, you must have that inner drive and focus. Maybe you've had a lot of experiences where you were able to hit high numbers, achieving your career goals, and you've accomplished your goals in general, but you still feel like the same person you were yesterday like nothing changed. It's not always about getting the quantity. It's also about quality.

“Connecting to what lights you up is a great starting point for your adult self to begin to remember your bliss.” - Rae Irelan (08:16-08:23)

A lot of times, you can get so excited about the results that you're creating. But the bigger question is, what are the results you're creating for other people? Similar to food if you're hungry, you eat what's right in front of you, even if it doesn't guarantee that you will be delighted. The funny thing is sometimes you will eat a bag of chips, and then realize that you actually want a full meal of protein, veggies, and carbs. And so, you're left feeling unsatisfied. It's just like success. You want to find something that can be soul-fulfilling. And in each moment, you are growing, shifting, and changing.

Start with an awareness of what you are truly wanting and needing. It's imperative to differentiate these two in this step. What is necessary for you to be living right now, and what is your desire that would make life more juicy, fun, and playful? It's great to take extra time before going after something that isn't genuinely aligned without questioning it. Take time in this process to understand where you sit, and then you'll be able to make informed decisions from there.

Part Two of ‘Defining Success Beyond Profit [What Lights You Up Inside?]

Take aligned and inspired action. And that's where you get to do that thing that you want to do. And that is really what's going to create the most success in your life, in the most holistic success. That's where you come back to your bliss. You're of service in a way that is great for others and yourself. Once you understand the basics, you see that success is the sandwich between what lights you up and bliss is on both sides of it. If you can do this in every area of your life, you'll achieve greater success in a way that is personally, professionally, and financially fulfilling.

“You want to find something that can be soul-fulfilling.” - Rae Irelan (05:43-05:47)

Every person is guilty of defining success, depending on the amount of money they have at some point in their life. But what are you willing to exchange for that success? How can you get into this place where you're living with a fulfilling soul? And that's a good starting point for success. It's crucial to connect with what lights you up. This way, you are becoming more aware and understanding while being in an empowered state. When you are lit up, then you can make decisions based on what is truly going to be of service. When you're a kid, what used to light you up? Was it reading a good book? Was it riding your bike through the neighborhood? Was it playing games? Was it drawing? This is a great starting point for your adult self to begin to remember your bliss and how to tap into that.

Healing with Art

“Humans should take full responsibility for their limitless creativity.” -Rae Irelan

Want to know one a natural, successful way to heal? One that’s based off on science and history? It’s art. There are many forms of healing such as physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. You name it. 

Our whole world is created from art, so we're utilizing our energy. It's what we do, whether we want to take responsibility for what we're creating or not. Why wouldn't all humans want to take responsibility for their limitless creativity? In this week's episode, Rae Irelan talks about healing with art.

Part One of ‘Healing with Art’

If you take a hundred percent responsibility for your creativity, it also means letting go of always being right, let go of any resentment or blame. You have to take responsibility for creating all the positive things that you see in the world. But also, creating the more negative things that you see in the world.

Most people wait until their deathbed to get to that place of ownership, but the big question is, do we need to wait so long to take responsibility, and has that been working out so far? 

The world is desperate for a change, and we see this happening everywhere. There's a new wave of personal development and healing. Global growth is coming into a more harmonious state of peace. So, how does that happen? Take responsibility for your personal development, your healing, and then you can see a change outside of the world.

Many factors overpower our ability to take responsibility, but we do have the choice to change. This is the opportunity that we are presented with today. We have so many resources and tools to be able to heal.  

“Storytelling is another form of art.” – Rae Irelan (06:52-06:55)

Many people find peace within specific communities, countries, or organizations. People fall in love with things like music, therapy, painting, writing, dancing, and traveling. They see these things as a form of art that helps create healing.

People want to heal. They desire to have a more profound connection to the world. What's so beautiful about art is that people get to make real what they wish to express. Through these forms of creativity, you are tapping into emotions that might have been subconsciously running your entire life without you knowing it. 

You can find tons of information online to go through this journey alone. However, it's been proven that the best way to use art as healing is to do it with other people. Maybe that's one other person, someone that's guiding you. Maybe someone that's side-by-side with you or a group of people. Perhaps you're in a program.

When you have other people going through healing modalities and these arts with you, you see new perspectives. When you're doing it with other people, you might notice that other people were told slightly different things.

All of a sudden, their guidelines look a little bit different, and it opens up the possibility that there might be actually another way to do this and maybe even a way that is more aligned with you. 

We're so caught up in our perspective of what works and what doesn't work, what we've been told to do and not to do. Many times, our expression has been contained. It's been held in. We were told as little boys and girls, not to cry or don't scream if you're angry, just shut up

Part Two of ‘Healing with Art’

It can be very intense when you are opening yourself up into expressing yourself through art. Some things might surface that you would have never thought of. They could be old memories that you've forgotten about or feelings that you just didn't want to feel. Maybe they feel ungrounded or unsafe.

When you have someone there, they can also help support you in staying with it. That way you can discover the end of this tunnel. You'll be able to see and notice that there's a specific lesson for you to extract, to bring into your life, and to inspire others with, from just you embodying this lesson. 

“It's time for us to come together to create the most epic art that this planet has ever seen.” – Rae Irelan (14:52-15:00)

Don't let anyone tell you that you're not good enough or your art is a waste of time. You're using art for healing. It can be terrifying yet the reward is so great. Take the negative words out of your mind, allow the process to work. Create a safe space for you to do the healing. Maybe you want to try writing, dancing, singing or acting. Whatever that creative pursuit is, try it out. Challenge yourself and see what is possible. Go for it and give yourself that time to play. 

We are all creatives artists. It's time for us to come together to create the most epic art that this planet has ever seen. That piece of art, first and foremost, is the most exquisite version of yourself as a human. We are our own body of art. As you pursue healing development, you are turning yourself into the most beautiful, magnificent piece of artwork.

Everything that you touch, you speak, you write is just an unfolding of your expression. Try it out this week and maybe do something that feels a little bit uncomfortable. Just dive in and have fun while you're doing it as well.
