Today; I posted a question on my Facebook - What would it take for me to feel more peaceful and creative in this work?
When I reflect on this question; I sit and look around me. My 'office' is not, I am assuming, what you would expect. Yes, I have a desk, a laptop, printer etc. However I am surrounded by all the things that make me happy: markers, coloured paper, beautiful items such as gifts (my Yoda, my jewelled journal etc.). I have photos of my family. I have a wizard to remind me of the my magic and my own power to create. My library is also here -- I might have close to 250 books on subjects ranging from Angels to Shiftwork.
I take an ordinary task and colour it! I use coloured paper to write notes on. I use markers of all colours while working with clients - and while I am in class I doodle and draw and decorate my notes. This makes me smile, makes me happy and feeds my need to be creative in a structured setting!
I create peace by having silence when necessary. Often I will burn incense to start a new project! As the week moves on my desk becomes filled with all I have touched, done and am working on. Sometime over the weekend I come in and sift through the work and create a clear space from which I can start again.
I also create peace around my work by writing an affirmation or an intention for each client I work with; this surrounds us and the space with peace and support. I love this part of the appointment. I write the intention and then let the session unfold in a manner that supports both the client and myself.
What rituals do you have to bring more creativity and peace into your work?
