Self Love ❤️

Worthiness 💜

Deserving 🧡

Creativity flows from the balance of these qualities...

Creativity is actually the Divine flowing through us and providing us information and inspiration in the most gentle way.

In order to allow us to connect to that Divine source, we must embody the qualities. In Kabbalah it is said: “to receive Light, you must be the Light.” And the Light or Divine is: Love, Worthiness, Deserving, and all the other beautiful qualities.

I know we don’t always feel that way. But, the work is in the practice of uncovering the block over our Light.

All we can do is go back to ourselves and keep practicing.

Meditation is a great vehicle for this practice, to connect and nurture your Creative thoughts.

In me you have a partner that holds a safe and caring space with accountability.

Want to meditate together, chat about your ideas, and learn more about my coaching programs? Send me a DM with “MM” and let’s chat. 🤗

The online business space is filled with coaching that guides you on how to EXECUTE ideas that are already in place.

But, what happens if you first need to explore, play, and workshop that idea?

Where do you go to nurture and develop the ideas that are bouncing around in your head?

Do you have a safe space to share them and let them grow?

Do you have a safe space where you can explore the benefit of this idea WITHOUT thinking about the 3,000 reasons why it is or it is not going to monetize?

You know that your soul wants to bring something to the world that truly aligns with you and lights you up.

You know that there are a number of ideas bouncing around your head - because you're a multipassionate badass. And, guess what, you DESERVE to alchemize all of those interests.

But, raise your hand if you've been saying to yourself: "Yeah, sure this might be a cool idea BUT..." and then your brain inserts the 3,000 different "reasons" why you shouldn't do it. 🙋‍♀️🙄🧠

🌟 This is where my meditation coaching methodology comes into play. 🌟

Through the combination of meditation and coaching, we're able to lower your ego's defense system and explore the idea you're eager to share with the world.

We let it take root and grow in order for you to be able to go out into the world and serve all those people who NEED the medicine you're providing. No ifs, ands, or buts, brain!

Your idea is special. It's within you! We just need to tap into it and let it out, and it's often helpful to do this together.

So, tell me, what have you been yearning to create?

Let's chat about it in a 20-minute free Mindful Moment session. Send me a DM with "MM" so we can meditate together and chat about your AMAZING ideas! 🤩

PLEASURE!

If I had to use one word for the goal from our work together, that may be it.👆🏻

Ultimately, what it comes down to, is the radical idea that we deserve a pleasurable experience when exploring our creative projects and ideas.

YES, Capitalism hangs over us like a big and heavy cloud. ⛈

It is true that our workplaces have budgets that may not be able to back that badass creative project.

It’s true that perhaps our first film might not be easily monetized or make it to a festival.

It’s also true that we might not have all the answers about how the f**k we’ll sell the online course that is going to combine all of the amazing healing practices you’ve cultivated.

But, in our coaching sessions, we leave capitalism and monetization at the door.

“WHY? WE NEED MONEY!”

I know, I know... but we also need the seedlings that are our creative ideas to germinate.

They need nurturing and fertile soil. 🪴

They need to be watered. 💦

To receive sunlight. 🌞

To be spoken kindly to. 🗣❤️

And that is the safe space I offer.

Meditation is a central tool I use in our practice because it allows us to lower our ego’s defense system. Our ego is trying to protect us from harm and creative ideas are usually taking us off the beaten path.

Meditation allows us to process and, literally, breathe through it together.

Alongside meditation, I bring with me my 10 years of working with artists and creatives and my curatorial lens in order to play and explore your ideas WITH YOU!

Because, you’re not alone and you deserve your creativity buddy.

How does this sound to you?

Each week I offer limited spots for FREE 20-minute Mindful Moment sessions.

Looking for someone to explore your creative idea with? Here is YOUR space.

✨Send me a DM today letting me know you’re interested and want to learn more about the free Mindful Moment sessions and let’s have a chat! 😊✨

Prayer 🙏🏻

Journaling 📓

Breathing 💨

Walking 🚶🏻‍♀️

Calling in support ☎️

Each day my ritual is a little different.

Each day the medicine shifts a bit depending on what my body tells me.

But I make it a point to honor my ritual and practice compassion with myself.

I’ve been blessed with a ton of joy these past months but they also come with a whole new stage of growth and maturity.

Life is not easy. Which is why we ground in our rituals and our community support.

Know I’m here to hold space for you. Know that there is a ritual that you will connect with. Know that you have the ability to process it in community.

If you’ve had a tough time, know you are not alone. We’re all out here just... trying...

Sending you so much love! ❤️

Last night we had our first meditation group meeting and in this beautiful space we shared and explored how meditation is, in essence, simply the practice of connecting to our bodies through awareness.

This process is often called embodiment and it allows us to connect to how our bodies are feeling.

You might think you do this all the time or that you are fully aware of your body.

But...

Have you truly connected to your body today?

Have you felt your breath flowing into your nose, chest, ribs, and belly today?

Have you been able to wonder and perhaps give thanks to the many internal organs and processes that allow you to wake up this morning and read this post?

Yeah, deep... 😂

Ultimately this is the meditative practice. It is NOT necessarily the practice of "relaxing" it is the practice of CONNECTING.

Yes, you may end your day de-compressing by watching some Netflix and that may feel nice to you in the moment. But just know that in that process you are actually leaving your body.

The goal of meditation is to do the exact opposite. And that process of re-connecting does allow our brain to slow down but more importantly, it allows us to feel our feelings, know our inner passions, allow new ideas to come forth, and more.

It's a transformative process and if you are curious to embark on this journey, I'd love to offer a safe space for you to explore your Self.

Here is how:

Free meditation group meetings on Monday evenings (EST) and Friday at noon (EST) - DM me today to join! All are welcome

Free 20-minute Mindful Moment Zoom call

Meditation 101 Basic Coaching Intensive | 90-minute call and 30 day Voxer support - $200.00

Connect to Create | a one-to-one 8-Week Meditation Coaching program to connect to your meditation practice by unblocking your connection to creativity - $1,000.00 (payment plans and sliding scale options available)

Reach out to learn more!

Here to serve you.

With love,

Ale

The journey to honoring your unique voice and role in the world is a true odyssey... 🌊

As a creative, it can be very “easy” to see a film, a painting, a curated exhibition, a business model or strategy, and think: “well, I didn’t think of that.” Or “My work doesn’t look like theirs.”

Our ego can immediately lead us into the deception that because WE didn’t think of that or WE can’t create that specific work that we then are not as “good.” ❌

I call it a deception for a reason. That other person’s work was (hopefully) completely unique to them and their experiences. It was (hopefully) born out of their honoring of their unique life experiences, interests, skills, and from a place where the ego doesn’t reach. That’s why it’s compelling. That’s why it moved us.

Your journey and work then becomes: “What is unique to my life experience, interests, and skills?” And attempt to answer that from a place where your ego doesn’t reach.

Now, this is NOT “easy” work. Inevitably, there is a lot of grief associated with meeting your true Self. Yet it is also incredibly healing.

But, if you’re curious, if you’re gritty, if you want to honor your Self, if you’re ready... you CAN do it.

And, if you want support from someone who has been through it and deeply cares about you bringing your true creative voice to the world... I’m here!

Send me a DM and let’s chat.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: 5 minutes of quality mindfulness beats 30 minutes of sitting with your eyes closed while running through your to-do list in your mind... 🌶🤣

A super common comment I receive around meditation is: “Well, I can’t do it because there's no way I’m able to sit for 30 minutes."

In my coaching corner, I believe that telling yourself you "have" to meditate for at least 30 minutes a day even if that's not what serves you is a big no-no because it just sets you up for an unachievable challenge.

I believe that we all have our own way to meditate and we process things at different speeds.

If you are able to take 3 minutes today to notice your breathing pattern while admiring the trees on your morning walk. If you were able to welcome in several rounds of breaths to your belly and you noticed. --> YOU MEDITATED.

That's what the practice IS.

We don't wake up one day and become a monk who’s able to sit for 30-minutes at a time minimum.

We don't bypass and judge ourselves for being new to the practice.

We don't disregard how our bodies feel on any given day.

We simply take a sliver of time, at any point in the day, to focus on the present moment. Intentionally. Without judgment.

Then, we grow from there...

It's called a practice for a reason. And it's YOUR practice. So make those 5 minutes YOURS.

Let's keep the conversation going.

In 2010 I landed my first internship at an art gallery. I had NEVER been around artists before.

Growing up I barely even went to a museum or a performance with my family. It was just not “a thing” we did.

But I was fascinated with the idea of learning about art and being around people who created for a living.

After that gig, I was hooked! There were so many interesting conversations around what artists were creating.

Artists were noticing and exposing what others would not see or say. They were moving us all forward.

I would get the question: “Are you an artist yourself?” “NOOO” I would say emphatically. An artist was a true visionary. An artist was extremely skilled. An artist was uniquely original. In my mind, I wasn’t “worthy” of being any of those things.

This held me back. It made it so much harder for me to explore my career as a curator. I thought my ideas weren’t “that good” so I stopped pursuing curatorial opportunities altogether. Then, I stopped writing. Then, I stopped dancing, which I used to do growing up. Slowly, I just... stopped anything creative.

Because I was blocked.

I began to realize that part of my life’s purpose was healing this personal wound. I was always fascinated with the art of healing and mental health. So, I took to my own devices and began a healing journey. At that time, I wasn’t sure what this healing was about.

Now, I know...

In order to be at peace with myself, I had to heal my blocked relationship with my own creativity so I could ENJOY life again. See, the goal for me wasn’t to become THE TOP curator. It was simply to be able to say: “yes my curatorial ideas are worthy. And if I were asked to curate an exhibition tomorrow, I can do it.” It was around knowing it is possible and ENJOYABLE and more importantly —> it was DETACHED from outcomes or results.

This is where I am today. I am able to create. I am able to enjoy. I am able to explore and play. And, I AM AN ARTIST!

And so are you.

If you are interested in healing your relationship with creativity through meditation, DM me to see if my program Connect to Create is right for you.

Creating can feel scary.

When we’re at the beginning stages of creating for the first time, or we haven’t delved into a creative project in a long time, it can feel like we don’t have control.

For some, it may feel like you’re grabbing a piece of your soul or your heart and bringing it out for the whole world to see ❤️. Yeah, that feels vulnerable AF.

In my teachings and practice, I like to communicate the idea of: “what if we’re not ripping a piece of ourselves and giving it to the world? What if, instead, we’re channeling a message from Source and using our experiences to illustrate the message?”

As artists and creators, we are channelers. We’re constantly receiving messages from the intuitive Source and alchemizing them into physical form. 💫

If it’s been a minute since you tuned into that place, it can feel daunting to know where to begin.

But you tend to your inner garden bit by bit. 🌱 You remove the weeds, then trim whatever else needs to be trimmed, you tend to the soil, THEN plant the seeds that you will nurture and care for daily.

Meditation, journaling, drawing oracle or tarot cards, listening to sound bowls or chants, dancing... these and many more are practices that we can use to tend to our inner garden and reconnect with our INTUITION.

This is how we go back to trusting the inner voice. Trusting the message. We know that we are the messenger who is meant to use the information for the benefit of not just ourselves, but the greater collective. 🌍🤯

That’s huge! It’s the humbling honor of being a human. 🙏🏻❤️

How is your creative journey?

I’m offering free 20min Zoom calls and also looking for 2 artists or creatives interested in meditation so we can work together in the journey to your Self. Is this you? DM me today! 😊🤗

You are an artist. 🎨🎬🎤🎧🎼🎹

You are a creative. 💄👩‍🎤👩‍🎨💃🕺💅

It is within you to dream up of ideas and bring them into reality!

The thing is, when someone says the word "artist," it can bring up A LOT of emotions and preconceived ideas:

🚫 "I'm not an artist because I don't: 'paint, sing, dance, or write' for a living."
🚫 "I'm not an artist because artists are ____ (insert negative adjective here)."
🚫 "I'm not an artist because I'm not 'good enough.'"

The goal in connecting and healing your inner artist is really not to have you obsess over winning an Academy Award for Costume Design. 😂🙅‍♀️

The goal in this work is for you to connect back to:
🥳 Increased sense of PLAY and FUN!
🥰 Increased JOY of simply creating for creating's sake - in your work, with your relationships, in your day-to-day activities!
😍 Develop a larger container of love for yourself, which in turn allows you to love others even deeper!
🙌🏽 Increased sense of FREEDOM!

Having fun while you create WHATEVER it is that YOUR SOUL feels called to create. 🌻

This comes from the process of connecting, grieving, releasing, creating space for new experiences, and charting a new path. 🚶🚶🏽‍♀️

In my work, I utilize the practice of meditation as a tool to guide you to this connnection, which provides healing.

If you have been wanting to heal your inner artist and re-connect, then check out my 8-week guided meditation program in the link in my bio or send me a DM so we can chat about healing and creativity. 💫⭐️🪐❤️
