In my creativity coaching practice, I often work with people who feel held back by fear.  The external world is a reflection of our collective fears and our dreams, both manifest simultaneously.  It's easy to live at the average vibrational level of those we come in contact with, what we hear on the radio or see on TV.  And with the world in such seeming disarray these days, it's normal to feel disheartened about making progress in our own lives.

So what's the difference between people who feel fearful and insecure during tough times, and people who feel optimistic and relaxed, even free-spirited?  The latter group of people have cultivated an inner security–have held their bodies and minds at a higher vibrational level.  They know that their external world is a creation of their inner world, and they choose to live in love.  These are the people who hold the vision of what the world will can be in their hearts, and who inspire the collective consciousness to spiral upward to new and beautiful places.  You do this, too, when you hold yourself at a higher vibrational level despite the level of what seems to be around you.

Of course, there will always be things that are out of our control, but the more inner security we cultivate, the more we will deeply know this truth: the part of you which is eternal can never be harmed.

Conditions for creativity are to be puzzled; to concentrate; to accept conflict and tension; to be born everyday; to feel a sense of self.
