That first step is an act of faith. Creativity requires faith. Faith requires that we relinquish control. A physical manifestation of Soul energy. This is the essence of true creative expression.
Creativity is a free expression of the self.
It is a product of ones emotions, thoughts and motor skills. When your body opens your mind to allow the influence of your soul to permeate into what you are doing, then you are simply a channel for the abundant creative forces of the universe to manifest as something physical. True creative expression has its source in your soul, is captured by the mind and facilitated by the body. When a creator is creating, the soul is creating. The soul is linked to The Great Creator, the source of all creation.
