They don’t always change their jobs, but they often begin incorporating this creative self into their life.  Sometimes, they are already doing something creative, but struggling with feeling blocked.  As we go through the mind-body process, they blossom and open back up to their creativity.  They begin to enjoy their creative processes again.

All of this makes a lot of sense to me.  The pelvic region houses the sacral chakra, or energy center, and the element of that chakra is creativity.  Westerners used to make a lot of fun of chakras (many people still do), but science has started to confirm that we do indeed have nerve bundles in these centers in our bodies.  Hmmmm.  Unnerving.  Thousands of years ago, yogis knew something about the human body that we’re just starting to understand.

I’ve always loved a good mystery, and this has all the spine-tingling elements of a classic.  Can it really be coincidence that all these women have pain in the creative center of their body and also feel blocked or are unaware of their creative dreams?  Could it be that the pain is just a big signal that we have shoved away this part of ourselves?

When I was struggling with pain, I was absolutely not living my authentic life.  Now, I absolutely am.  I infuse my entire coaching practice with creativity, and I feel ALIVE.  What got me here?  The pain, of course.

What if we are all creative healers?  I say healers because I think creative arts heal.  Music heals.  Art heals.  My hairdresser is a hair artist – and her creativity is immensely healing.  Creativity is life force.  When we’re with people who are harnessing life force, healing happens.  I use the word healing in a broad sense.

So in our many different ways, we are waking up to our true purpose in life – to be creative healers.  All you writers, coaches, photographers, painters, sculptors, and more whom I’ve coached: doesn’t it feel good, to be living life as you were meant to live it?  Funny, how pain brings us home to who we really are.
