As I sat down to create this little embroidery, just before starting, before knowing what it was going to be like, what colours, what textures and shapes... I heard a voice inside my head; “Why are you doing this? It’s not going to be any good, wasting time and for what? Just go and be productive”. A moment of hesitation, where I almost believed it and stood up to “be productive”. Then... I remembered. I know this voice, it is the same voice that I hear sometimes before meditating, a hidden force that prevents me from doing what makes me feel nourished and alive. It can come in different forms: self doubt, inner critic, procrastination... but it always comes from the same origin: fear.
Creativity is scary. It requires us to bare our souls and to enter the unknown. This voice is just our ego trying to stay safe, and the only way to overcome it is to confront it.

A deep breath, I feel my hands, I feel the fabric, noticing the texture and colours of the threads pulling me back to this moment. The voice quietens as I step out of my thoughts, into my body. I find my creative flow, and the joy and happiness that I feel as I create and play are enough to let this resistance go.

Sometimes this voices can keep us from doing what we love for years, but as we become aware of our fears around creativity and what stops us from being in our creative flow, we can begin to let them go. All that is needed is awareness, compassion and patience.

Just a few spots left for this Saturday’s workshop: Yoga & Creative Stitches 🌈✨

Once upon a time when you were only a child, do you remember feeling free of all expectations and fearlessly creating? Drawing on the walls or building magical sand castles with forts, with nothing to prove and nowhere to be. Overtime with societal pressures, these fearless work of arts and crafts become buried as we are taught to instead chase material success and goals. Conscious making encourages us to unearth that fearless creativity that is buried deep within us. It has been there all along, just patiently waiting…

✨First Craft & Flow workshop coming September the 18th ✨
☄️A few spaces still available so get in quick ☄️

Flow State ➿

Do you remember the last time that you were so immersed in an activity that you forgot about the time, how your hair was looking, or that you were hungry? This is being in a state of flow, where action and awareness merge, and distractions fall away. Where time slips away and your senses become heightened. You become completely at one with whatever you are doing. When you are “in the zone” and words spontaneously arise as you are writing. When you are flowing with momentum in whatever you are creating. You may have experienced it during a “Vinyasa Flow” yoga practice, that feeling where everything else melts away, each movement and “Asana” connected to the next one, totally immersed in your practice. This is where yoga and craft collide, to birth Sentir, conscious makers.
