Awaken the Creativity Restlessly Sleeping Inside You!

“If deep down in your heart, you love to sing and you never use your voice, it will speak louder in your subconscious, questioning your sense of self. If you love to write stories or poetry and you never put ink on the page, you’re going to feel that unused talent scratching away at you within.

Thoughts, emotions, and creativity are all forms of energy. Energy is meant to keep moving and when we stop its flow and keep it stuck, it intensifies. If we keep this up and keep it in for too long, that stale energy can wreak havoc spiritually, mentally and emotionally. And this stress definitely takes its toll on our bodies.” Chris Assaad, from Share Your Truth and Set Yourself Free!

I recently heard Dr. Brené Brown say that creativity unexpressed doesn’t remain dormant in our bodies but that it becomes toxic as unreleased energy. She also believes there aren’t “creative and uncreative” people in the world but rather those with the courage to be vulnerable and share and those who succumb to fear. I believe we all vacillate between the two extremes based on the choices we make from day-to-day and moment to moment.

When we choose not to develop and share our creativity in any given moment we license over to fear the highest part of our connection with SPIRIT (i.e., our ability to CREATE in the image and likeness of the ultimate CREATOR). And when we chronically hand our divinity over to fear in this way, day after day, our lives reflect and manifest our creative stagnation.

The good news (Lord knows we need some!)? (more…)

SPEAK: Awaken By the Spirit — Repeat after me … “I AM WORTHY” (then repeat again)

SPEAK … By The Spirit™ with Tonya M. Evans

Repeat After Me … “I AM WORTHY”

March 17, 2013

womaninmirrorThree simple words, “I am worthy”. But so challenging for most of us to SPEAK and to acknowledge. Owning our self-worth, however, is the only way to tap into, AWAKEN and activate our spiritual power.

Without recognition that we were made in the image and likeness of the Divine — and are therefore worthy of all that God is — we cannot be a reflection of God’s Light and Love here on earth. We also cannot expect others to acknowledge in us what we cannot embrace.

The best (and only way) to teach others about your worth is to show by example in the way you treat yourself. People will see your worth when you walk and talk confidently and fearlessly in the light of your own personal spiritual power.

SHINE: Awaken By the Spirit — Awaken to Your Personal Power and Freedom with these Four Agreements

Awaken to Your Personal Power & Freedom with don Miguel’s Four Agreements

© 2013 Tonya M. Evans

March 2, 2013

The four agreements discussed in this little book of BIG wisdom are described as “essential steps on the path to personal freedom.” As your beliefs (especially those causing reactive misperceptions) are transformed through maintaining these agreements, your life will “become filled with grace, peace, and unconditional love.”

Yes please. And thank you! I’ll take some of that. Better yet, I will create some of that through a daily practice of these divinely inspired agreements for going and growing through life. Step One in your journey to AWAKEN begins right here.

The Four Agreements, Defined

1. Be Impeccable with your Word: When you speak (to others and yourself), speak with integrity. Say what you mean. And mean what you say. This is a powerful agreement when you desire to stand in your truth and live an authentic life. It isn’t always easy, especially if you suffer from the disease to please. But personal power is fueled when your word is bond.

2. Don’t Take Anything Personally: Recognize and accept that nothing (and I mean nothing) others say or do is because of you. We all project onto others our own reality. We don’t see with rose-colored glasses, we see with “me” colored glasses. We seek meaning, experience feelings and emotions and process information from the only perspective we know — our own. Once you accept that, you can avoid needless suffering wondering why something is or isn’t happening to you. It’s not personal.

3. Don’t Make Assumptions: Of all the agreements, this one vexes and challenges me the most. It is also the one that has the most immediate impact on my ability to remain present, aware and AWAKE in the moment without assuming things (usually incorrectly) about what the past means or the future holds. When we make assumptions we then make decisions without all of the information (or based on misinformation), or without at least enough information on which to base a sound decision. And you know what they say about people who ASSume. :-)

4. Always Do Your Best: Always give the best of whatever you have in any given moment. Sometimes your best will be 80% of your full potential. But if it’s your best, than it’s a job well done. Intentionally giving less than your best effort for any reason (good, bad or otherwise) sets a destructive energetic force in motion because we get out of life what we give. Sometimes in spades! And it may not be in that exact moment, but Newton’s Third Law rules this agreement: “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Give and do your best and you will reap the fruits of your effort. It’s a natural law!

SHINE: Manifest By The Spirit — The Wisdom of Contracting Before You Expand

The Wisdom of Contracting Before You Expand

Fear and uncertainty has a way of causing us to freeze and constrict, physiologically as well as emotionally and mentally. It’s a primal response, in fact (think deer in headlights). But if we can remind ourselves of the power and wisdom of surrender, we can relax enough to appreciate not only the process of transition but the promise of transformation that awaits if we allow enough room for life – in all of messy marvelousness – to unfold in the fullness of divine time.

Click here to find out more about the wisdom of “contracting before you expand”. Don’t quit five minutes before the miracle that is the “YOU” God intended for you to be!

GIVE: Manifest By The Spirit-The Forgotten Goals

womanreadingbookOur dreams as young people are usually filled with colorful goals. At the time, we might not know much of the world, but we certainly want a huge part of it. We may not manifest how to get to the top, but we know at that age we certainly want to be there.

Often times, our goals from our late teens and early twenties go unfulfilled, due to unforeseen circumstances, a change in interests, or overall life experiences.  These goals of yesteryear haunt us into our adulthood and become the regrets of our present.

Regret breeds a downward spiral in our ego and we soon question why we were not skilled enough to achieve said goals in the first place.

1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

We have to accept that our paths are not always clear to seek out.

How can the person in their late teens or early twenties possibly be held responsible for the happiness of said person for the rest of their life? Often, when ones “PLAN A” does not work out exactly as planned, we put on the blinders and often times miss “PLAN B” being presented to us. PLAN B is hardly as clear-cut as PLAN A, but the journey is certainly more exciting and rich then knowing exactly what we want at a young age and the exact way in which to achieve our goals.

We cannot hold ourselves accountable for some goals and aspirations we have had so young. As an example, you may not have traveled the world as once desired by the starry-eyed teenager, but when you do travel as an adult, you appreciate it so much and enjoy every rich life lesson it offers. The man who did not go to university as he once wanted ended up being a street smart, savvy entrepreneur, having the unique experience of business responsibility.

Of course, we should do everything to achieve our goals, but we should constantly update what our goals are. Are they goals that will enrich our lives and those around us? We must always re-evaluate what we want and most importantly, MANIFEST why we want it.
