A very big Aloha.
My name is Rev.
Cindy Paulus and I wanted to do a talk about inspiration.
Inspiration is such a powerful gift.
The gift of spirit can bring to you some amazing energy and when you get that spirit and it comes to you and gives you the gift of inspiration,
You can birth so many amazing things once you're inspired.
Now I have found through years of doing this that typically I get inspired and I know I have to do it and something takes over and I get all excited and start but the thing is that usually almost always takes longer than I thought it would when I'd start.
Now I like doing things quickly.
I like getting things done and then doing the next thing but I have found that once this gift of inspiration comes,
You have to allow it to take you on its own journey.
Something miraculous happens in a way because at some point it becomes not just yours.
Now in my case I may coordinate and work with other people because I'll come up with words and I have a partner I work musically with that comes with the music so it will often find a way to be a joint project and then another whole level comes in where you have to give and take and there's different ideas,
Different ways and it joins together but even in that point something else takes over.
As a music in whatever I'm creating through the music and the words finds a way to come out and resonate with the rest of people in the world.
It's pretty interesting.
Now I think art may be very different.
Art is much more of a single person project usually doing the art so you can have that amazing gift of just creating an image that is an image that comes to you and again the same thing may happen.
It may start out as an image and it takes over and takes its own life form and then there's the other wonderful ways of how it works through life and many other ways and projects but each way has a lesson.
Each way has a journey and it's part of that amazing journey that comes when you're inspired and there's something about inspiration that wishes to be shared.
You don't know once you create it put it out there who or how many people will actually hear or receive what you do.
It has its own journey it takes now.
I mean obviously there are formulas that people have found that well if I do a talk on this or I do this or that more people will be interested in that so you know I'll do that because that will get more people but I don't know if having more people for me anyway I don't think having more people is the goal.
I think the goal is to really do what is something you believe in and then it finds a way you know and you have to help it find that way to reach the people that will find it and who knows you know you never know how long that might take.
So inspiration is really a precious gift and I don't know how often you think about inspiration but let's take some time and go inside and meditate and allow that gift of spirit to come in and see what happens and as always I start with a few deep breaths breathing deeply in and so checking the spine out it usually cracks a few things like it just did for me and breathe out ah breath breath breath is ah in spirit in Hawaiian ah and what a lovely protective white light all the way around you way up above and around and surrounding you below you in front of you behind you and you are in a lovely field of energy of light white light and allow yourself to go into the safe space within that lovely space of your energy field in your soul just let that journey take you to that inner place of light that beautiful precious place of light within and allow in this precious time you go within to that source of that wonderful light that that energy that light finds a way to touch your spirit now spirit's an interesting thing right so let's open that door to what spirit is to you allow that gift of spirit to be present in you without limitation without judgment just that beautiful lovely energy field of spirit let's breathe in that place of spirit that energy that comes and let's just allow that spirit to be present in a way that we can find inspiration in spirit how would spirit speak to you if spirit were to speak to you now how would that be present in you what would that gift of inspiration wish to give to you perhaps it's a seed that was planted a long time ago that you forgot about or put off or you weren't ready to hear or maybe it's a new new brand new energy that's coming in that you need to be aware of but open the door to that gift of inspiration and it may come in many ways sometimes it comes in a thought sometimes it comes in an image sometimes it comes in a word but to capture that inspiration it's very very helpful when you come out of meditation to write down what comes to you and to leave that door open to that spirit to come and work through whatever door you opened so breathe in slowly and allow yourself to come to that whole presence of all of you your mind your body your total energy field and allow yourself to come back 100% to the point where that energy that thought that inspiration can come to you and be grateful it's such a precious gift be grateful for that force of that wonderful energy that comes to you through that spirit inside that in insight of that inspiration and I wanted to thank you so very much for being present and sharing this time with me it really means a lot and I bow in deepest gratitude
