If 2020 has thrown off your creative energy and you're feeling blocked, wishing you had more routine, discipline, structure, focus and progress in your art. Who are you now? Where is energy blocked or stagnant in your body? If you're body is under stress in survival mode, it's natural and to be expected that your creative juices may be kinda like jelly rather than flowing smoothly. We're going to talk about the root chakra and the sacral chakra and how giving yourself stability in life with choices you make in this moment can give you creative freedom in the next moment. // chawilde.com @chawilde

Tonight, I was in the studio researching the second chakra, the seat of creativity and sexuality, sensuality, pleasure, enthusiasm, joy, desire. I found this mantra in the Kundalina Yoga tradition, played with it on my piano composing a melody that felt beautiful in my body to sing, and recorded it for you before coming home to make dinner. It's a rough recording and I hope it can deliver some delightful vibes this weekend. Soak it in as you reach down into your body to awaken your creativity and remember how to flirt with the universe. LOVE, Cha // chawilde.com @chawilde -----

"The mantra for creativity Har Haray Hari Wahe Guru is in four parts and represents the cycle of creative activity. Har represents the seed potential of Infinite Creativity. Haray represents the flow of the Creative Force. Hari represents the manifestation of the Creative Force. Wahe Guru is an expression of joy and wonder at the beauty of this process. It’s like saying “Idea. Flow. Here it is. Wow!” and translates to “All aspects of the Creator are Bliss.” This mantra uses the powerful creative flow to create a fast-moving, energetic river that washes away the debris of obnoxious situations in our lives. It breaks through creative blocks and awakens within you your own creative potential." -- Quote from Spirit Voyage (https://blog.spiritvoyage.com/mantra-for-creativity-har-haray-hari-waheguru/)

I can't be a successful, prolific, creative artist because:

1) Everyone will hate me.

2) I will hurt my family and friends.

3) I will go crazy.

4) I will abandon my friends and family.

5) I can't spell.

6) I don't have good enough ideas.

7) I will upset my mother and/or father.

8) I will have to be alone.

9) I will find out I'm gay (if straight).

10) I will be struck straight (if gay).

11) I will do bad work and not know it and look like a fool.

12) I will feel too angry.

13) I will never have any real money.

14) I will get self-destructive and drink, drug or sex my way to death.

15) I will get cancer, AIDS -- or a heart attack or the plague.

16) My lover will leave me.

17) I will die>

18) I will feel bad because I don't deserve to be successful.

19) I will have only one good piece of work in me.

20) It's too late. If I haven't become a fully functioning artist yet, I never will.

In this podcast episode, I walk through each of these limiting beliefs and share a personal story from my own life as an artist. I want you to see that these fears and doubts are felt by all of us, even those of us who are creating as full time professional artists. These beliefs do not need to hold you back in art or life. You can move through them into abundant creativity. ;)need more creativity in your life?

"Judging your early artistic efforts is artist abuse."*

Can you feel the freedom and joy of exploration inside the child? It is still within you. Tap into it and get lost in your creative play. DO NOT LOOK AT OTHER PEOPLE. Get very excited to walk on your path, at the beginning of your path. YOU ARE LIVING YOUR DREAM THE MOMENT YOU BEGIN.
