The Steps Of The Creative Process- Podcast 5

Ever since I started doing the podcast, I've been journaling more regularly also. The morning pages in particular, as elucidated by Julia Cameron, three pages of long hand soon as you wake up in the morning, is one of the more liberating exercises a person can do. It accesses the mind that dreams and thoughts we had all night long.

Night shifters don't have the luxury of waking up in the morning and writing in the manner just described. However after they take a nap, they can do their morning pages without any problems whatsoever. I know because I do it that way myself.

I started doing the morning pages in 1993 and noticed immediately an acceleration of creativity that previously laid dormant. When in stages of intense creativity, it is so important to take care of ourselves.

I remember doing a study on creativity and the stages of the creative process when I started doing the morning pages. The five stages of the creative process are as follows:

Preparation

Intubation

Illumination

Confirmation

Validation

Today's podcast goes into detail about the creative process and how to do the morning pages.

What Is Your Life Purpose? Podcast 4

In preparation for the Blog Talk Radio Show I did with Eric Maisel, I created a series of questions for him. His book is called Life Purpose Boot Camp: The 8 Week Breakthrough Plan For Creating A Meaningful Life.

We have more than one life purpose as our lives evolve.

The first question was: why life purpose Boot Camp and why now? Life purposes are paramount to our ability to live a meaningful life. Meaning is linked to purposes. Eric Maisel also talks about a menu of meaning opportunities. He talks about our personality in terms of being a formed and an available personality. The available personality is what we work with in terms of creativity and potential.

Another question I was curious about was how can a regular day tie into the awe of meaning? The answer to that is that meaning can be weaved into everything we do.

Eric Maisel talked about upgrading our personality.

Another question is how can we keep track of our life realities and life circumstances? Dr. Maisel introduce the idea of a meaning repair kit. He also talked of about naming our life purposes.
I asked Dr. Meisel how he uses the Life Purpose Boot Camp in his work is a creativity coach.
Eric Maisel emphasized we are all creative people and no one holds the prize for being more or less creative than anybody else. We are artists who go on to create our own lives.

He also talked about a life purpose mantra and a life purpose icon.

Eric Maisel is well known for creating a new mental health paradigm.

Life Purpose Bootcamp-Podcast 3

This podcast podcast number 3 is about the Life Purpose Boot Camp, a book by Eric Maisel. The book is divided into eight parts, which is summarized on this podcast.

How do we live our life purpose? Or life purposes, because Eric Maisel says we have many life purposes as humans, over a single lifetime, especially as we evolve as human beings.

How do we keep enthusiasm for the lives that we live every day?

In my own life, I work with the Amish and help deliver their babies, often times in their homes. I have learned so much from the Amish regarding strength of mind, body and spirit, and I have developed an ability not to give in as much as I used to to pain and psychological angst. This is what the Amish have taught me and I've only been working with them for three years.

Eric Maisel also discusses having meaningful conversations as a way to be enlivened in our every day lives. It is so important. If I go a few days without really delving into the heart of a topic with some wonderful person, I feel my energy dropping.

Listen in and enjoy.

Podcasting As A Spiritual Experience

I am learning everyday as I do a podcast--Podcasting as a Spiritual Experience. And that's exactly what it is, too. I've done 138 podcasts so far, and I will share them here over time.

In 2014, December, I fell on ice and thought I broke my knee. As I was waiting to get an xray, and was feeling the pain, I suddenly had a revelation as to what my signature program must be called: P.R.A.Y.E.R. Prayer Prescriptions (that) ReWire Assumptions (about) Your Everyday Reality.

When you rewire your beliefs, thoughts, assumptions and preferences, you rewire your brain. And that is exactly what my prayer podcast is doing.

A Prayer Prescription isn’t meant to replace the advice of your doctor, but it is a prescription of another kind, without any side effects at all, except, perhaps, a road map to mystical perception.

An inspired flash in the midst of acute pain taught me an invaluable lesson: pain is a great teacher, and by rewiring my assumption about it, I could change my entire life.

For more than a year, I’ve written about rewires. When we change our mind about a previous dearly held belief, and let go of that which imprisons us, (our thoughts), we are free.

So one year later, after the fall, I’ve created my podcast series: “Kate Loving’s P. R. A. Y. E. R. Podcast: Prayer Prescriptions that Rewire Assumptions about Your Everyday Reality.”
