Silence is golden. Silence allows you to hear more; see more.

It is important to take some time everyday to sit in silence. It is important to sit back, turn off your television set, turn off your radio, and just sit back and listen to the natural sounds in the world. Listen to the wind blowing through the trees. Take time to stroll along the beach and let the soft crash of the oceans’ waves caress your soul, soothe your spirit.

While stopped at a traffic light, look up into the sky. Watch a flock of birds flutter to and fro. If you watch closely enough you will start to see the patterns they create while in flight. I have witnessed star and heart shapes in their formation among many other beautiful shapes. All this observing is healing and comforting to the soul.

Find music that is purely instrumental. Let the vibrations and chorus patterns wash over your mind, body and spirit. Let the beautiful harmonies clean away all the worries and stress in your mind. Let them bring heaven and serenity to your spirit.

Bring a camera with you where ever you go. You will be surprised at all the moments in life that you can capture. You will be surprised at how creative you can be. You can experiment with angles, with shades, and with subject matter. Who knows maybe you will discover a new hobby, passion or career path by such an endeavor.

Take time to start a new creative venture. Learn how to draw, paint or sculpt. We are all capable of creating new works of art every single day. Draw your inspiration from your heart, from the quiet moments in your day that allow you to really get in touch with the beauty that lies within your spirit. Take an art class. Create and express yourself in a positive manner. It will help you feel more positive and help you add beauty and joy to your life and the life of others.

Furthermore, when you take the time to bring such positive moments and images into your world, you are metaphorically giving your spirit a massage; massaging away any negative energy that may have fallen within your day.

So take the step toward awakening the creative energy within your soul. Your life will be limitlessly brightened and positively magnified when you do so.
