I Write

How are you creative?

I stepped back from my writing for years, focussing on other work, I had fun but I wasn’t complete.

I thought the muse had deserted me as the urge to write was gone. Although I still don’t have that feeling, this blog has been one of the finest things for me. It’s creating a discipline and habit.

My spiritual work is also highly creative. Asking a person what’s bothering them is nowhere near as effective as using imagery, colour, visualisation, and then telling the client what they have just told you. It takes the angst and navel gazing out of the process.

My favourite one though is a way of solving a problem for someone without having any idea what the problem is. I did that with a group of beginners once and they literally couldn’t believe the results.

I love the creativity of spiritual work, and the originality of spiritual thinking. It’s a different world not trapped in social constructs.

The best review of my work I ever had was when someone paraphrased the Morecambe and Wise sketch with Andre Previn; where he tells Eric that he’s not playing the right notes in the piano. Eric replies that he is in fact playing the right notes, just not necessarily in the right order.

My review was “Deb Hawken does all the expected things, just not in the expected way.”

I love it.

Merry Christmas
