Creativity

Creativity is not a gift reserved for artists. It is an inner talent that we all possess. It is the ability to create our lives anew every moment. To see the infinite possibilities in every situation. To bring forth beauty and harmony. To think outside the box of societal conditioning.

We might feel that we have no creative talents or abilities. This is not true. It may be that our training and education from childhood onwards has stifled our creativity. Or that we do not have the confidence to recognise the creativity within us.

While we all have the potential to be creative, people who we recognise as truly creative often have the following traits in common: they accept ambiguity, they are open to new experiences, they are independent thinkers, they are flexible in their perception and they listen to and follow their intuition.

There are many essences that address creativity, as well as others that can help us cultivate in ourselves the above traits that facilitate creative thinking.

Freshwater Mangrove (Australian Bush) is an important essence for opening up to new ideas and ways of viewing the world. It encourages a healthy questioning of traditional standards and beliefs. Blue Camas (Pacific) is for acceptance and objectivity. It balances the intuitive and the rational by unifying the right and left brain. Bush Fuchsia (Australian Bush) improves one’s access to intuition. It helps a person to trust their own ‘gut’ feelings. It allows for balance between the logical/rational and the intuitive/creative. Maidenhair Fern (South African) facilitates hearing the still, small voice within and turning to it for inner guidance, rather than depending on external support. Lily of the Valley (Pacific) and Muguet (DEVA) put us in touch with that place within ourselves that existed before our lives were complicated by “shoulds” and all the other layers of conditioning we learned in order to survive and to get love and approval.

Traditionally the second chakra, or sacral chakra, has been linked to issues of creativity. When the second chakra is balanced we are open and comfortable with others. We know how to release the past, which allows us to experience all the new things that life has to offer. The colour of the second chakra is orange, and the essences of orange flowers often affect this chakra and our creativity.

Chakra 2 (Terre & Cosmos) and the following essences are related to our creative endeavours. Courgette (DEVA) stimulates feminine creativity, especially when it has been stifled by difficult social or cultural surroundings. Orange Honeysuckle (Pacific) releases blocks to the creative force and thereby diffuses the frustration, or even anger, which arises when creative expression is thwarted. Giant Protea (South African) clears the chakras, simultaneously activating the will and harnessing the spiritual forces, in order to allow the free flow of creativity.

All irises enhance creativity. Iris (DEVA), eliminates frustration due to a lack of inspiration or feelings of imperfection. It encourages creativity in people who have repressed their artistic talents. Blue Flag Iris (Green Hope Farm) encourages the flow of artistic creativity, particularly on the visual and musical levels.

Hooker's Onion (Pacific) acts as a catalyst for creative expression and lightens the heart. It helps to dissolve writer’s block. Creative Essence (Australian Bush) inspires creative and emotional expression in a gentle and calm way and gives courage and clarity in public speaking and singing. Turkey Bush (Australian Bush) helps to move through creative blocks and discouragements. Watermelon (Green Hope Farm) helps to amplify our creative energies in a big way, through encouragement and support, as well as access to a deep inner pool of creativity.

Creativity Essence (South African) enables us to access and express our creativity in every aspect of our lives, from the most mundane to the most spiritual. Rabbit (Wild Earth Animal) nurtures creativity and manifestation in all aspects of one’s life. Lady's Mantle (Green Hope Farm) supports all aspects of a creative project from conception to launch. This essence is for sheltering, cradling and nurturing our insights, ideas, visions and dreams until we are ready to move them forward into creative self-expression. Beaver  (Wild Earth Animal) facilitates planning, creating and problem solving. It is especially supportive when beginning new projects.

Angel Light (Lumière des Anges) Sprays

We are happy to present the new range of Angel Light (Lumière des Anges) Sprays from Ute Franke of Terre & Cosmos.

The world is composed of more than what we can see with our eyes or experience with our other senses. The spiritual world is made up of many aspects most of which can not be detected by humanity. Angels are often considered to be etheric beings that act as intermediaries between the Divine, such as we conceive it, and humanity. They are waiting for us to accept them in our reality in order to be able to help us. The angels communicate with us through our inner voice, our intuition or our dreams. When we are ready to fully open to this form of communication, which sometimes comes to us as a barely perceptible whisper, wonderful things begin to happen. Working with the angels is one of the ways that we can rediscover the harmony to which we all aspire.

When we invite the angels to help us, they bring us new energies that can be used at different stages of our existence. They assist us in difficult situations, at those moments when we think that the whole world has abandoned us.

The Angel Light Sprays call on 12 angels who are predominantly working with one unique divine gift. This means that they are principally concerned with a specific task, and this is the energy that they offer to humanity. These angels are the following: Freedom, Peace, Abundance, Patience, Happiness, Harmony, Hope, Love, Courage, Beauty, Tolerance, Trust.

Let the Angel Light Sprays inspire you. Rejoice as these angelic beings enter your life; they are full of surprises and love for you.

Liberté - The Angel of Freedom opens our mind so that we can clearly see where it is that we feel limited and where we would like to experience freedom.

Paix - The Angel of Peace shows us that to live in a peaceful world, peace must first reign in our hearts and in our families.

Abondance - The Angel of Abundance shows us the measure of our creativity. He unblocks whatever has been keeping us from contributing fully to and participating in the abundance of life.

Patience - The Angel of Patience helps us to disconnect from daily worries and makes us understand that a force exists that allows things to manifest at the appropriate moment.

Bonheur - The Angel of Happiness helps us to review our feelings and to reinforce our positive outlook; to realise that we are exclusively responsible for each of our thoughts and actions.

Harmonie - The Angel of Harmony calls on our sense of discernment which allows us to distinguish whether or not something is good for us. He teaches us that we already know everything we need to know.

Espoir - The Angel of Hope offers us the possibility of envisaging new openings and light in situations that we had considered hopeless ; he helps us to free ourselves from self-imposed limitations.

Amour - The Angel of Love reminds us that we are loved unconditionally and that Love is infinite. He helps us to heal our hearts of old wounds and to be more inclined towards reconciliation.

Courage - The Angel of Courage helps us in all the tasks that seem difficult or impossible to achieve. This is the energy of heros and reformers who had the courage to swim against the current.

Beauté - The Angel of Beauty shows us the unique character of our own beauty, and helps us to see and accept it for what it is, so that we can express our beauty in all its forms.

Tolérance - The Angel of Tolerance tells us that we are not perfect and that others expect that we accept them for what they are. We rid ourselves of the desire for perfection: we seek progress rather than perfection.

Confiance - The Angel of Trust shows us that we can trust in the divine guidance that expresses itself through our intuition. He invites us to believe that we can once again have faith in our future and advance without fear.

The 12 Angel Light Sprays come in 50ml spray bottles which contain the energy of the angels in an organic tonic water. Each Angel Light Spray costs 14 Euros. To order, click on the name of the spray above.
