When Inspiration Arrives Uninvited: Tuning Into Creative Energy

I’m just wondering if anyone else is noticing a shift in the energy already this morning?

I have written down five project ideas I would like to do in the next 12 months. And they arrived spontaneously. I wasn’t sitting down to mind map or plan the next 12 months; in fact, I was sitting quietly and contemplating, and they just arrived out of nowhere. This is often how inspiration comes for me, like in Elizabeth Gilbert’s book Big Magic.

In Australia, the new year doesn’t really begin until the kids go back to school after summer vacation in late January, so the coming of the Chinese New Year in mid-February always feels strangely apt.

Like many of you, I feel like there was a speeding up of crunchy things in the last six to eight weeks of the year of the snake. As I sit here in my office and tune in to what’s going on, I can feel a sense of flow of energy ramping up, of projects wanting to come through, and it feels exciting and like there is energy to make it happen. The energy does indeed feel like that of a fire horse; initiating movement, big muscles and the ability to go far. I wonder what the year will bring.

I’m wondering if anybody else is already feeling a shift, and what it feels like to you?

Sometimes putting words to intangible things can be very helpful for a group.

Big love to you all,
Jen
