Learning to Create with Energy
by Deb Schnitta
We are
creating all the time, mostly unconsciously. We move about the day in
habituated patterns and actions. How many things did you do today on
the way to the office while in the car or bus? How many do you do
without even thinking, seeming to be on autopilot?
We ask the
mind to multitask in order to accomplish more, to be more efficient.
When we desire to move to a more conscious state of creativity we must
first learn to create the environment for success. Having quiet that
breeds clarity requires concentrated time without distractions. This
may occur while walking in nature, sitting without distractions over a
cup of coffee or any other moment that brings pleasure and relaxation.
In
deepening our capacity to learn to create what we desire in a conscious
fashion we align with our higher power. We open to our deeper wisdom
and access a profound state of creativity.
To start the first
process is to gain clarity about what you seek. If for instance you are
desiring to create a new job you might be tempted to simply write down
I want a job as __________________ for this much money.
Although
this is a good beginning, it is useful to take this process to a deeper
level of clarity. What are the qualities that you would like to be
present at this new job? For instance do you want to travel? Is
location significant to you? What about the environment where you will
work?
In gaining clarity it is useful to move beyond the
orientation of task to the place of joy. Joy opens the possibilities of
creating more than is currently present in your life, no matter how
wonderful it may currently be. Often it is helpful to think about other
examples in life where you have had joy. What are the qualities that
were present in these exchanges? The format or events that contributed
this joy maybe very different. For instance your mind may focus on the
feeling of joy while talking to a dear friend. Although this is not the
same topic as the desire to create a new job I this example, there is
useable energy here. What are the feelings or qualities you experience
with this friend? Perhaps it is you feel very received by this person.
Is this a quality you would like to see in your new job as well?
Write
these qualities down. Continue to do so until you feel complete. Leave
the list and return to it a few days later. Add any other thoughts that
may arise. Reread your list and see if these qualities still apply.
Cross any off that do not.
Following this process assists the
mind in gaining greater clarity about what you would like to create or
manifest. In this way you support the process of creation from your
highest capacity; you bring more to the equation as the process gains
more consciousness.
Everything exists as energy. Each quality
that you have imagined and written down for instance exists as energy.
Writing them down brings them more into your awareness. You may
actually begin to notice these qualities appearing more frequently in
relation to your desired creation or other areas of life as well.
As
the next step in the process of creating consider adding the following
process to your growing list. Ask yourself this question, what do I
know to be true right now? If for instance you look at your list and
see a number written down as the desired salary range, Is it a number
you are ready to receive? This is different than desiring this amount.
Is there a place in your energy body that is open to receiving this
energy from the Universe?
The physical body can offer great clues to where or not this opening exists.
To
access this awareness and open even greater possibilities for success
in your creations, begin by quieting the mind. Take a few deep breaths
and go inside.
Imagine the thought; what do I know to be true
right now? In relation to the topic you are seeking to create a deeper
level of clarity.
Be patient and wait for the thoughts to arise
in your mind. From a deeper place of connection within yourself your
thoughts will be simple sentences. You may hear things like I really
want this much money. I know I have never made this much money before.
I know if I had this much money I could relax and breathe more in my
life. I know I am a little nervous about this much money.
The
mind will continue to illuminate what actually exists within the energy
body itself in this fashion. If you begin to hear more complex
thoughts, such as qualifying examples or stories, then you know you
have drifted back to the mind and are no longer accessing the deeper
places of consciousness within.
Simply take a deep breath,
close your eyes and fall back gently to this place of wisdom once
again. With practice this becomes very easy.
Repeat this exercise for each quality that you have written on your list. Notice whatever is revealed from your deeper self.
As
you continue to consciously create what you desire keep returning to
your list. Notice the qualities that you have written down. Bring them
consciously in to your awareness and imagine them in your life right
now. This strengthens your connection with what exists as energy and
where you are right now today. It brings them more fully into your life.
It
can be frustrating if your creations are not appearing as quickly as
you desire. Return to the exercise what do I know to be true right now.
From here you will find the next place of consciousness that needs to
transform to assist in your creations manifesting. Each layer of
consciousness within us houses great potential. Gaining clarity in this
fashion not only illuminates what is present beneath the surface but
allows the liberation of this stored energy as well. Each time you
engage in this process you develop a deeper sense of awareness with
your higher power. You open to the possibility of creating a life of
joy in all areas of your life.
To support this process of
creation and transformation you may like to add the Vanati Energy
programs Receiving the Energy of Connection, Extending the Energy of
Connection to an Area of Your Life and Exploring Transformation to your
skills of using energy to create and make choice. Used in combination
they offer a powerful way to support the personality while opening to
what is next and transforming what no longer serves you. Any one of
these would be a useful addition.
