• 0:25
  notes. This month on Seer Sessions is
• 0:27
  all about creativity. Many people believe that
• 0:30
  creativity is something you either have or you don't.
• 0:32
  But in reality, creativity is a natural current that can become
• 0:36
  blocked by stress, overthinking, comparison, and nervous system
• 0:41
  tension loudness. I'm going to explore why
• 0:43
  inspiration sometimes disappears and what actually restores that
• 0:48
  creative flow. So you're going to learn how
• 0:50
  creativity and intuition are connected.
• 0:53
  You're going to learn what creative block actually means.
• 0:57
  You're going to learn how the nervous system affects your
• 1:00
  inspiration, your creativity, and why Hypnosis can help unlock
• 1:04
  this feature within you and unlock more creative ideas and
• 1:09
  creative flow. So I'll be talking more about
• 1:11
  that. And then I'll also tell you the
• 1:12
  hypnotic journeys coming up in this month.
• 1:15
  So you can take full advantage of that reconnect to that
• 1:18
  creative current that runs through your life.
• 1:21
  Even if you don't feel like you're creative.
• 1:23
  It is a feature of your earth suit.
• 1:25
  Not just artistic creativity, but the kind of creativity that
• 1:29
  shows up as inspiration, ideas, intuition, creative problem
• 1:34
  solving, that feeling that something is moving through you.
• 1:37
  People sometimes describe it as passion, as flow.
• 1:41
  For me, like a sign of it is that I'm feeling interested, I'm
• 1:44
  feeling curious, and I'm feeling engaged.
• 1:47
  So much of life makes me feel hungry and bored.
• 1:50
  So if I am feeling that way, I know that I'm connected to this
• 1:54
  inspiration, this creative force that runs through me, through
• 1:57
  all of us. If you've ever felt like that
• 1:59
  disappeared for a while, or like inspiration used to come easily,
• 2:03
  but now things feel kind of like flat or blocked.
• 2:06
  So many people come to hypnosis, the sessions with me for that
• 2:10
  specifically. Personally, when I experience a
• 2:12
  creative block, I go right into hypnosis and I always get
• 2:16
  through it. You know, most of the time when
• 2:18
  we're feeling that creative block, it's something specific.
• 2:20
  We need a, you know, clue for this thing or we need insights
• 2:25
  or inspiration or downloads for that other thing.
• 2:27
  And for me, going into hypnosis is the way I unlock that and tap
• 2:32
  into it almost on demand. But if you've been feeling
• 2:34
  blocked or just kind of like creatively flat, just know that
• 2:38
  that is so, so common and so normal.
• 2:40
  And basically everything in our current culture in life does
• 2:43
  everything to like squash that impulse within us.
• 2:46
  So to stay connected to it not only feels good, but it's
• 2:49
  something that we can do. We have a little bit more power
• 2:52
  over that than most of us think. Creativity almost never actually
• 2:56
  disappears. We aren't ever really
• 2:58
  disconnected from it. What usually happens is the
• 3:01
  conditions for creativity, the conditions for being able to
• 3:05
  pick up those insights, those ideas gets diminished.
• 3:09
  So what is creativity? Most people think creativity is
• 3:12
  about art, painting, writing, music, but creativity is much
• 3:16
  more than that. I really see intuition and
• 3:19
  creativity as like 2 closely related things.
• 3:22
  And I see creativity is much broader.
• 3:24
  It's like the ability to access new ideas, new possibilities,
• 3:28
  intuition, problem solving. I'm having a vision, being able
• 3:32
  to vision storytelling, the way we lead people, the way we lead
• 3:37
  a group, the way we design our life, all the decisions that we
• 3:40
  make, how things fit you. Creativity is the ability to
• 3:43
  look at something and see it in a new way, see it in a way
• 3:47
  that's totally different, maybe something you've never
• 3:49
  experienced or seen before. And when that current is
• 3:52
  flowing, people often say they feel energized, motivated,
• 3:57
  curious, alive. And when that current is
• 4:00
  blocked, life can feel mechanical, predictable, flat,
• 4:04
  boring. I know for me that's when I'm
• 4:06
  like, oh, the banality of life. It's so boring.
• 4:09
  I hate it. From working with so many
• 4:11
  clients over the years and just analyzing my own creative flow,
• 4:15
  seeing this first hand in other people, I've noticed that when
• 4:19
  people say they feel creatively blocked, it's rarely because
• 4:23
  they lost that ability. Like I've actually never met
• 4:26
  someone who like can't get it back.
• 4:28
  What actually happens is something has interrupted that
• 4:31
  flow. Something has blocked them from
• 4:34
  it. Something has shifted.
• 4:36
  And one of the biggest reasons is their nervous system being
• 4:39
  all jacked up, feeling stressed, feeling crunched for time.
• 4:43
  And when that nervous system is in that vigilant state, when
• 4:46
  we're stressed or constantly managing responsibilities and
• 4:50
  being an adult, the brain will prioritize safety and
• 4:53
  efficiency. So another common reason people
• 4:56
  feel blocked is like this, overthinking, analyzing ideas
• 5:00
  before they're even allowed to fully be formed.
• 5:02
  So creative needs a little bit of space to like, unfold, but if
• 5:08
  everything is immediately overthought and evaluated and
• 5:11
  judged, it just kind of dissipates.
• 5:14
  Like that space for creativity really gets closed down.
• 5:17
  Many people, for so many reasons, stop expressing their
• 5:20
  ideas and their creativity really early in life because
• 5:24
  they were criticized for it. I've had so many clients say a
• 5:27
  boss, a teacher, a parent, a sibling, a friend, neighborhood
• 5:31
  bully, whatever. This whole world will tell you,
• 5:33
  your intuition is your imagination.
• 5:35
  Don't pay attention to that. And what are the logic and what
• 5:38
  are the facts? A lot of reasons.
• 5:40
  We are disconnected from that creative flow, from our new
• 5:44
  positive, interesting way of seeing things.
• 5:47
  In those moments where we were maybe criticized for that, even
• 5:51
  if our conscious mind is like who cares or fuck them, the
• 5:55
  subconscious mind is quietly learning, quietly assessing, and
• 5:59
  quietly moving towards safety. So if it's safer not to share,
• 6:03
  you will be subconsciously driven to do that in comparison
• 6:06
  also plays a role. So when people are constantly
• 6:09
  seeing what other people are doing, it becomes easy to assume
• 6:13
  that your voice isn't good enough.
• 6:15
  I see that in my own life. I see it with my clients all the
• 6:17
  time. And in hypnosis sessions.
• 6:20
  I often see too that creativity in intuition travel through the
• 6:25
  same internal channel. So when people reconnect with
• 6:28
  their intuition, their creative ideas often start flowing again
• 6:31
  too. It's so related.
• 6:33
  Or people will come in to get beyond a creative block and
• 6:35
  they'll be like, my intuition is on fire.
• 6:38
  And that's why when people can come into hypnosis, get their
• 6:43
  body and mind into that hypnotic trance state, they can actually
• 6:46
  feel and understand that creative current, their
• 6:48
  intuition even more. And people often report things
• 6:53
  like they suddenly feel like excited about certain projects.
• 6:57
  Again, things didn't change, just their excitement.
• 6:59
  Or maybe they have clarity about decisions they were stuck on
• 7:02
  before. Maybe they just have ideas
• 7:04
  coming back naturally or kind of like this renewed sense of
• 7:08
  purpose or direction. Because creativity isn't just
• 7:12
  about making things, it's about participating in your life more
• 7:16
  fully. I mean, I can't say that enough.
• 7:18
  It is about participating in your life more fully.
• 7:21
  It's not about making art so other people can judge it.
• 7:24
  Creativity helps people express themselves, make intuitive
• 7:27
  decisions, solve problems in new or unique ways, and overall, it
• 7:33
  helps you make decisions in design A life that feels like
• 7:36
  more aligned to you into what you want.
• 7:39
  It'll help you feel more you again.
• 7:42
  A lot of times when people feel disconnected from themselves or
• 7:45
  their creativity, they also don't feel like them.
• 7:48
  Another reason why no So it's such a powerful tool to create
• 7:52
  connection to that creativity in your life.
• 7:55
  When the nervous system settles, it's easier for the mind to
• 7:58
  relax. We use hypnotic suggestion to
• 8:01
  open the subconscious mind, understand what's in there,
• 8:04
  what's moving things and driving things.
• 8:06
  And that's the part of the mind where imagination lives, where
• 8:10
  your intuition lives, where ideas originate before we even
• 8:14
  understand them. It's in that relaxed state that
• 8:17
  you can connect to all of that. Symbols, memories, images,
• 8:22
  impressions, ideas or insights, they all open up new
• 8:26
  perspectives for us to move forward in our life again, It's
• 8:30
  not just about art. It's about you living your life,
• 8:33
  being in your life, enjoying your life, feeling that creative
• 8:36
  flow, that passion of what it is to be alive.
• 8:40
  If this is the first time you've heard this, you're going to
• 8:42
  start seeing more of it just because that's the way the mind
• 8:44
  works. But forever artists, writers,
• 8:47
  inventors, scientists, they've all been talking about accessing
• 8:51
  their ideas in altered states of consciousness or Speaking of
• 8:55
  this genius that runs through them.
• 8:57
  No matter how you put it, hypnosis is a way for you to
• 9:01
  intentionally step into that state and start understanding
• 9:05
  what that is uniquely to you in your life.
• 9:08
  OK, so the hypnotic journeys. This month on the podcast, we're
• 9:11
  exploring creativity from three different angles.
• 9:15
  Each journey is designed to help you reconnect with a different
• 9:18
  doorway into inspiration and creativity.
• 9:22
  So first, we're going to start off with that nighttime hypnotic
• 9:24
  journey for Creative Flow specifically.
• 9:27
  So this one is to be listened to before you drift off to sleep at
• 9:31
  night. The subconscious mind does a
• 9:33
  great amount of processing during sleep and this journey is
• 9:38
  going to help you kind of like remove pressure, remove
• 9:42
  resistance that can block ideas. We can get so many great ideas
• 9:46
  from our dreams. I know I have, I've had like
• 9:48
  life changing dreams. So next we're going to explore a
• 9:51
  past life journey to unlock that creative genius within you.
• 9:55
  So whether you view this as a literal past life or a symbolic
• 9:59
  experience of the subconscious mind, these journeys reconnect
• 10:03
  people with their creative confidence, their creative
• 10:06
  abilities, and oftentimes once they didn't even realize they
• 10:10
  had access to. From there, we'll go into that
• 10:12
  higher self journey. So the next episode of the
• 10:14
  month, we're journeying to your higher self, your inner knowing,
• 10:18
  your soul's wisdom. And that journey is about
• 10:21
  receiving guidance from that deeper, clearest part of you
• 10:25
  that understands what wants to be expressed through your life
• 10:29
  today. I believe you came here with a
• 10:31
  purpose. Go and find it.
• 10:33
  OK? In this month, I'll also be
• 10:35
  hosting a live group hypnosis experience.
• 10:38
  And it's focused on that creative flow group hypnosis.
• 10:41
  It's a really special environment When people relax
• 10:45
  together and enter that intuitive state, that trance
• 10:48
  state collectively, the experience can deepen in ways
• 10:52
  that that are frankly surprising.
• 10:55
  So a lot of times people think hypnosis needs to be done
• 10:58
  one-on-one, or you're alone listening to it.
• 11:01
  And there is a different kind of magic when we're in Group with
• 11:04
  other people. So you'll be able to join that
• 11:06
  session live inside my Patreon, and that's the inner field
• 11:11
  membership. All the details are in the show
• 11:13
  notes. Creativity is something that
• 11:15
  many people assume they either don't have or don't have access
• 11:19
  to, or they're just not a creative person.
• 11:21
  That is absolutely not how it works.
• 11:24
  Creativity is a current that runs through you, so sometimes
• 11:27
  it moves quickly, sometimes it sticks around, sometimes it
• 11:30
  slows down, sometimes something blocks it.
• 11:32
  But the current itself is always there.
• 11:36
  So the purpose of the Journeys this month isn't to force
• 11:39
  creativity or like push you into that state or manhandle it in
• 11:43
  some way. It's just simply to clear the
• 11:45
  channel to make some shifts in your body and in your mind to
• 11:49
  create the conditions where these ideas, inspiration,
• 11:53
  expression can get moving through you again, maybe or in
• 11:57
  the 1st place. So if you've been feeling like a
• 12:00
  little flat, a little stuck, or like something inside of you is
• 12:04
  like ready to come alive, these journeys are designed for you to
• 12:09
  do that, to reconnect with that part of yourself, to open that
• 12:13
  connection to that flow within you and in your life.
• 12:17
  OK, we'll begin with that first hypnotic journey next week.
• 12:20
  And that is our next episode. So thank you so much for being
• 12:23

• 12:25
