We often think of creativity as something that only certain people are gifted with. The mistake, however, is to think that creativity is something that only special individuals possess. Our wisdom traditions tell us that creativity is a fundamental aspect of reality itself. It is not the special property of gifted individuals, but an intrinsic dynamic within each of us and within all of nature. Follow these seven steps to inspire creativity in your life.
One of the core experiences we all seek is delight, often associated with happiness. We all want to be happy, and we seek it in countless ways. But there is another word that we use in a similar way—joy. Learn the difference between the two, and find out the different approaches to this experience of delight and wellbeing that we all seek.
As modern-day enthusiasts of Vedanta philosophy and seekers of truth, we know – at least intellectually – that everything is made up of energy and information, and that this quantum field is what we refer to as the field of pure consciousness. This is who and what we are. Knowledge and experience go hand in hand, however. Without direct personal experience of this knowledge do we really understand its meaning at the deepest level, or does it simply remain an intellectual idea? Let’s explore this concept further.
Nourishment is central to our wellbeing on all levels, but we most commonly think of it in terms of food. For instance, we think of nourishing meals and the good feelings they evoke. But nourishment goes much deeper as well. Every living thing in the universe seeks nourishment in various forms and on various levels.
Gratitude is something all of us understand. For instance, saying “thank you” when we receive a gift takes hardly any thought or effort. It just seems to come forth naturally. In the same way, when someone thanks us for something we did for them, this too feels natural and welcome. In fact, giving and receiving gratitude is so familiar that we can easily overlook some of its deeper significance.
The desire to live authentically is a natural drive within each of us. At root, this movement towards greater authenticity stems from our nature as unique and self-expressive beings. The self that we truly are is always seeking to manifest itself ever more fully.
