Letting it In
Inspiration is a thorn that catches the sleeve of our attention.
It’s a warm glow on the path beneath our feet, inviting us to decide whether or not it’s a light worth following. Sometimes, it requires a moment so our intuition can catch up and be our guide.
Seeing Faces
Pareidolia is the tendency to impose a meaningful interpretation on a stimulus, such as seeing a face in an inanimate object.
This can be a treasure trove to experience more inspiration, creativity, and play.
Settled in Place
Are there particular climates, architectural styles, and geographical features that inject your sense of being with creative energy?
Sad Songs and Rainy Days
Bittersweet melancholy is a special type of inspiration. It invites us to explore and participate in a quest for something that can never be fully articulated, embodied, or expressed.
A Word For Today
Inspiration stretches beneath and beyond the thoughts of our minds. It is something we feel deep within.
“Weightless” by Marconi Union is an ambient track crafted in collaboration with sound therapists. It incorporates soothing harmonies, gentle rhythms, and a seamless flow intended to mimic the body’s natural rhythms. Its tranquil tones and lack of repetitive melody aim to help slow listeners’ heart rates and reduce anxiety.
What is your body longing for today?
Ice Slowly Burns
Inspiration is everywhere. Whole worlds are waiting to be explored and discovered.
Blooming Late
Would you say you are more experimental or conceptual?
Late Bloomers might approach life at a slower speed, but there is much more to it than that.
The Inspiratory System
Where do you find your clean creative air? How satisfied are you with the inspiration each of these areas brings to your life right now?
