What have we learned this month?

Dear Creatrix,

How relaxed are you today?

Did you sleep well?

I’d really love to hear about your experiences with this chapter of the CREATRIX School.

Do you have any questions?

Anything you are still wondering about when it comes to rest, relaxation and integration?

Which of the tips I’ve suggested have you tried?

How did they work?

You may leave a comment below, or post about it in our private Facebook Group.

Today, we are going to review what we’ve learned in this chapter so that we can integrate the most important lessons into our qu_ing persona, also known as our highest or best self – in the next lesson, our last lesson for this chapter.

We started to enter into the field of rest, relaxation and integration by bringing to our awareness, that rest and relaxation have a lot to do with self-love and self-care.

When we rest and relax, we integrate what we’ve learned and experienced and even if it’s invisible, it’s an integral part of our daily growth journey.

To allow ourselves to rest as much as we need to is essential for us to be creative, and so we can reimagine ourselves and our lives and explore all that is possible for us.

If we only allow for the bare minimum of rest that keeps us alive and functioning, we can only do that: stay alive and function – but I think, if you are here, you probably want more from life.

I would even propose that how much a person values their sleep and rest represents the value, respect and love they have for themselves quite well.

Saying that, of course, comes with the reminder that it’s all about balance, and that we all need different things at different times.

When we are sick or depressed, we need to rest more because we have physical or mental health problems to heal.

And equally, there might be other times when we have to take care of a baby or a sick family member, where we also sleep less.

Our body can handle all of that easily, as long as we come back to balance when the emergency is over.

But, what, I think, is the most important lesson here, is that we need the downtime (even when it doesn’t produce visible results) to integrate what we do each day, and to develop new ideas and to flourish.

Rest, sleep and relaxation are integral parts of our lives, and, in a world that is all about visibility, have been much undervalued so far.

What else have we learned?

Community – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a New Chapter in the CREATRIX School

Starting today, and for the next four weeks, we will think about how we can be at our best with others and how we can use our unique abilities, gifts and talents to contribute to the greater good of all.

As the first week of each chapter in the CREATRIX School is all about assessing where we are, so we can let go of what doesn’t serve us any more, and invite more of what we do want, we start this chapter by looking at our hopes for the future of our world as well as the experiences we’ve made in community so far.

Community – Week 1 – Pt. 2

What do we mean when we say communities, and why do we need them?

There are different ways for communities to be organized. Sometimes, all people are equal and come together to organize things as equals.

Sometimes, there’s an initiator, or someone who finances the project and other people who organize and implement it.

Sometimes, there are some people who are paid and other people who volunteer.

What are the different kinds of projects or communities you have been involved in, or would like to get involved in, in your life?

Community – Week 1 – Pt. 3

How do you envision our future?

It’s easy to think there are so many problems in this world – what am I supposed to do about it – I can’t do anything but make the best of it – and that’s true to some extent – but also not entirely.

Because we’re not just here to get by. We’re not just here to arrange ourselves with what is already here – we are life and a part of the great symphony of life that’s playing right now, in this moment, and we get to contribute to it.

Community – Week 2 – Pt. 1

How to learn to love triggers

In this lesson, we look at why it is so important to unite for a cause and not against someone or something – if we want to create lasting change – no matter how much we might disagree with them or something.

And we look at how love really is always the answer, even, or especially, when someone or something upsets us.

Community – Week 2 – Pt. 2

How can we create a real alternative to what we currently have?

In this lesson, we talk about how judgement can be a very useful tool on our journey to becoming our most authentic and best selves and create the communities we wish for, as long as we don’t use it to condemn other people or to establish superiority.

We also think about how every trigger is really here for us to grow, and not something to be afraid of or to avoid and how punishment, just like suppression, doesn’t lead to anything beautiful – and what we can do instead.

Community – Week 2 – Pt. 3

On Freedom, Responsibility and our Nature

In this lesson, we look at how freedom and responsibility are linked and what that has to do with consciousness.

And how with a raised consciousness also comes more freedom and thus, by raising our consciousness and finding more inner peace, we also obliterate the need for violence.

And we look at another essential thing, that will help us be more aware in our community interactions – our role as humans in nature, in this world.

Community – Week 3 – Pt. 1

What’s your unique superpower?

We start this lesson with a short review of what we’ve learned in the last few lessons to resolve the most common problems found in communities today.

And then we begin to look at our unique superpowers, so we can become more confident in the way we contribute to any community, group or project we choose to support.

Community – Week 3 – Pt. 2

What’s your favourite archetype?

In this lesson, we dive deeper into the roles we can inhabit in a group or community setting.

Are you better fit for a creative role or a leading role, or both, or something else?

Knowing what we are good at, and also thinking about what we would like to learn and grow into, can help us immensely to find our place in any community setting and to be able to contribute in the best possible way.

This is also a great resource if you’d ever like to start your own project or company and can help you make sure all vital roles will be covered so that the project can run in the best possible way.

Community – Week 3 – Pt. 3

What’s your (stress) archetype?

Of course, things don’t always go the way we want them too.

Sometimes we get stressed, overwhelmed, take on too much or don’t dare to step into our power.

But we can always change and learn and grow.

Looking at the Occasional Archetypes, like the thief, victim, fool, hero_ine, adventurer and so on can help us to recognize these archetypes in ourselves and others and help us to come back into balance, whenever we slip into them.
