Creativity: A matter of approach

What makes a job well done?
What makes excellence a standard?
What makes one stand out a cut above the rest?
What is aesthetics after all?
What differentiates the good better and the best?

All is a matter of approach in every field of life. A shift in the perspectives brings home, amazing solutions. An approach that is creatively expansive than confounding, opens a box of possibilities. We are all equipped to reach out into our own creative potential by just empowering ourselves with techniques of approaching a situation at hand.

Every one of us is endowed with the potential to develop our artistic abilities and approach with a creative eye. It’s a matter of putting the principles into practice and taking that giant leap of faith.

Artist and Creativity:

Creativity blooms in every acknowledgement of interconnectedness. To profess any creative reflection as just mine alone is too limiting in the larger picture. As any exercise to envision beyond, needs to step beyond time frames, to flow along in the subtlety of the eternal wisdom. In fact, our creative enrichments are a reminder of the beauty within that is as unique as every one of us in its similarities as much as the differences and yet deeply aligned to learnings in the consciousness of the interdependence.

Although as an artist we may give a shape to thoughts, its destiny is the result of the bubbles of thoughts in the connected flow. As soon as the clarity of the interdependence reigns in the hearts, all thoughts transform creatively as per the seeing beyond looking, in the gratefulness of both the subtlety and starkness of the interdependence.

Creativity is a tool and treasure for the taking in your hands. Do something with it that only u can.
As no one possess your uniqueness.
And do that which calls out from your being.
Trust creativity for its latent powers that can be unleashed in the acknowledgement.

Explorations in creativity at play or work by chance or in a structure boosts the chances of emerging into patterns of successful design.
Classic learning by trial and error, doing and undoing in a repetitive way also offers a lot of scope for creative breakthroughs

Whether it is the movement of our bodies and our thoughts that get stirred creating new correlations and understandings on a simple nod, a tug, a tap, a touch has immense potential to create waves of energy.
And thus in thinking with our movements, we can bring out nuances of many complex relationship patterns to notice.

Ingrained points of reference can be a hard thing to let go once you have them in you as trained dancers musicians or artists. To allow things to settle in without internal or external interference can be quite a disconcerting task for most of us. As we are often used to creating a connected flow of thought …thought tend to arrange themselves in the pattern by habit.

To find your own sense of flow and then create needs more than a receptive mind which is open to possibilities. Creativity flourishes in moving beyond the box stepping out of the emerging visages in the interpretation, time and time again.

Every creative endeavour is rooted in a dance of the energy within and around us … the dynamics of integration embodies the creative output. A movement that is influenced in the tidal wave of both gravitational and centrifugal force of thoughts.

Create, with all of you

For that’s what it takes

All of you!

Value the Pauses.

Value the power in the pauses!

To pause is to respect the moments before and after the pause as much as the pause itself.

For in understanding the value of every moment, we learn to reflect and respond than react thoughtlessly in the spur of the moment.

In doing so we gradually learn to graciously engage with the now as a way of being.

Stay Stable

On Stability

Stay stable

A tree is a fine example of stability in life…
Take strength from it , adopt its values nourish it, nurture it.

In the knowing that all your needs and neccessities are met as you cultivate within you this tree of grounding in the stability .

Stay calm and contained
Your purpose is in the larger picture

Stay!

Stay between
the glancing back and gazing forward.
Lessons are learnt from past.
Time teaches us all
Yet look ahead in hope
For life is lived forward not backward.

(On equanimity & present moment awareness.)

Strength of Subtlety

All matter is energy 

And we are unique speckles of vibrations.

All resonating in the universality of life and living.
Trust you matter, more than you know 

Believe you can and are making a difference 

As you connect deeply in the universal flow 

Tune in to reflect the truth of your being.

 

Every word every deed 

Every step every move 

Impacts the larger whole 

Just as much as the world  around affects you.

So start with who and what is around you 

Sense your intuitive self talking to you 

Telling much in all its subtlety.
Trust it for it is abound

With the strength of the subtle energies.

Resonate joy, abundance, balance

Resonate love ,harmony and peace

 For you have the power to transform your world

Beyond Passion 

Emergence.

Beyond passion is a light,
Of  love and dedication.
Make that light lead the way,
Move beyond the pursuit of passion.

As passion can be blinding,
Create rifts and indifference.
Arise from love and light,
Allow yourself to be lead in love.

 In each tomorrow care to lovingly envision      Let yourself commune with light, give a way

As unlike the shades of passion
Glory of  light will never lead you astray !

Savvy Raj

Your purpose is ordained and your passion is entwined with the light of your being . Moving beyond passion  reveals the impassioned strength of the soulfulness.

In my painting above titled ‘Emergence’  I use red to depict the colour of passion at play and the blue streaks as a balance factor interspersed with the greys depicting ( the rifts and strifes) the shades and tones  of colours in our life , taking us through the crossroads in our journey of discovering the self. The purpose of being I choose to  depict the white  background as‘Light,’ which  is after all the’ Eternal truth of the Being’.

Felt I must leave this painting a little raw as all the answers we seek , ‘is  was and will be ‘with us if we choose to see beyond the tinted glasses and acknowledge the glorious light that we actually are.

As inspite of the disarray and chaos  that it portrays, if we choose to see beyond the games of passion …

All is truly Light ‘

Be Light

Feel Light

Live light,

Love Light

Light up Life in Loving Light !

We will travel far…

An Artwork by Savvy Raj ‘Spectrum of Stars’

We need to come to a place of understanding where

We do not discriminate between man and nature.

We are humans, and we are part of nature.

Our nature makes us who we are as much as nurture does.

We are beautiful in our uniqueness.

We are breath-taking in our magnificence.

We are bound by the very same laws of nature.

We are challenged in its fervour.

We are sanctified in its glory.

We are crucified in its destruction.

We are celebrated for co-creation.

We are complex in our ways of being.

But we are no different from nature.

We are born, we breathe, and we are perishable.

Although full of life we may be, but we are totally accountable

As we are blessed with conscious choice,

Free will and intention.

And that makes way for infinite potential.

We are our own wayfarers in the choices.

We make our own present and future,

Like we made our past.

We are made of stars

And will travel far.

Ease into Alignment

A life well-lived

Is more about being well and doing good

Than about doing much

and finding no time to be you

and all that you actually are.

 

Resonate with your own reserves;

Reach out with the knowledge

That you are enough for you. 

Align your posture; let go of tension.

Acknowledge your needs in this moment.

Sense the potential in this now.

 

To alter the reality of this moment,

To make a positive difference in your ways,

To pursue your passions,

To love well, to enjoy life,

 

You need to create a balance between

What you can do and what you are doing.

Sometimes, the tilts are unavoidable,

And then, life takes care of itself.

 

But, it always helps to not tilt the balance

By overdoing, over controlling, overindulging,

Overstepping and overshadowing your own self.

Aim to balance the holding back and the letting go

With discretion and discernment

Of conscious intentions in awareness.

Modern maladies are mostly self-inflicted

Due to excess of thought, action and deed.

 

With awareness, your own free will

Can be your best ally in understanding

That freedom and responsibility go hand in hand.

And soon you will reach a level…

 

Where you feel grounded

And, yet, light as a feather in flight.

Make sense of the choices you make in every now;

It does matter after all.

 

You have one life.

Live it well.

Because you can!
