Enlivening Inspiration

Enlivening Inspiration
Inspiration is a force that enlivens and activates us to do something: dance, sing, paint or even visualise a new career. We might call a friend and plan a trip abroad. Inspiration lifts you into a higher level of seeing. There are many ways to cultivate its presence, from journalling to scrap booking. Finding what inspires you and consciously cultivating it will give you access to new ways of thinking and energy you didn't know you had.

Some people find that frequent trips into nature inspire them. Others have a box full of objects - a seashell, an old photograph, a collection of rocks, etc. If you already know what inspires you, find a way to incorporate it into your life on a regular basis. When was the last time you felt the spark of your imagination, or acted on an impulse that felt totally right? When we are in the presence of what inspires us, we hear our inner guidance more clearly and we have the energy to follow its cues.

If it has been a while since you have been touched by inspiration, you may feel listless and dissatisfied. Know that you can turn things around by remembering what lights you up and bringing it into your life.
