I recently led a writer through my Meet Your Muse exercise. He felt overwhelmed by world events. How could he write a book when everything feels so bleak? What could he contribute to systemic problems that seemed unsolvable?
The Muse said, “Keep to what you are here to do.”
“You’re not going to solve the climate crisis, end global violence, or prevent world hunger. But you have a big mission and if you stick to it, it will be very fulfilling.”
When You Feel Powerless
The Muse continued, “Those in power want us to feel helpless. The media wants us to feel helpless. Don’t buy into it.”
The truth is, you’re probably not here to fix global problems. Some of us are fixers who can make a big impact on global issues. Most of us find the global too big, too violent, too awful for us to make an obvious impact.
Yet, when you come back to your calling, to what you feel truly called to do, you can feel the rightness of your activity. In the case of writing, you can feel the power of your words. And your impact can be further reaching than you realize. Your contribution to world peace and greater harmony and balance–well, it might surprise you!
Energetic Impact
I wrote a poem recently and shared it with a mentor of mine, who’s quite intuitive. She said that the poetry I’m writing has an impact even before I share it. She said that before I walked in the door she could feel it.
That blew my mind. But it also made sense. As someone who practices qigong and works with internal energy cultivation, I’ve come to realize that our internal work also contributes to the state of the world. In fact, our personal growth work, spiritual practices, and creative pursuits affect how much joy, love, fulfillment and creativity we bring into this world to help balance out the dark stuff (which we can also find within us).
Qigong teaches us that the world needs a balance of yin and yang the feminine and masculine principles. I find that these yin practices bring harmony into all aspects of life–relationships, work, health and creative projects like book writing.
And Then It’s Time to Get Your Work Out
So inner work is important. Yes.
And as a writer, there is an important next step. We are writing to communicate with others. To share what we have to offer–wisdom, strategies, advice, perhaps humor, certainly stories.
- Write and publish that article or blog post!
- Read your poem on YouTube.
- Complete and publish your book!
Because you are here to do what you are here to do and your book is a part of it! And if you wonder how to get from point A to point B, how to get back in the groove, stay with me. We’ll get there.
Elevate Your Consciousness
Einstein said that we can’t solve a problem from the same level of consciousness that generated the problem.
So how do we resolve those problems? From a higher level of consciousness.
Subjecting yourself to gory images of violence on social media is not going to raise your consciousness.
How do we get there?
- Doing the inner work. Journaling and writing are some of the best tools out there.
- Listening to our inner calling.
- Making time for our callings.
- Getting support to bring our callings to fruition.
- Sharing our calling, our work, and our creations with others to inspire and support them in their callings and for them to also raise their consciousness.
And for most of my readers that includes: Write that book! Publish! Usher it out into the world!
How to Return to Center and Creative Flow
In the midst of world turmoil and both personal and collective suffering, how do we return to creative flow to get our books written?
During the two weeks following our Meet Your Muse session, I witnessed my client regain his enthusiasm and passion. He and several others in Get Your Writing Done shared how powerfully our qigong movements brought them into an elevated state and made it easy to write.
