🌼 CREATIVE RE-CONNECTION

A path back to the body, intuition, and the art of feeling

🌼 What was always there


I’m not here to teach you something you didn’t already have.​
I’m here to remind you it’s still there.

Your creativity.​
Your intuition.​
Your connection to yourself.

You turned it off to protect yourself.​


You reconnect by choice.

And if part of you still doubts...​


tell it what I’m telling you now:

You are not alone. You are not broken.​


You are returning. And that is already art.

🌼 Welcome: You are not broken, just disconnected


We live in a fast-paced world.​
So fast, you often don’t even know how you feel.

A world that rewards you for being productive, but never asks if you’re okay.​
A world that measures you by results, but never applauds you for feeling something real.

And in that rhythm, part of you begins to dim.​


You feel more functional than alive.​
More organized than inspired.​
More focused on what you have to do than on what you truly need.

This is an invitation to come back to yourself.​


To reconnect with a part you might not have heard in a while: your right hemisphere.​
The sensitive, creative, emotional, intuitive side.

It’s not just about “making art.”​


It’s about seeing again, feeling again, imagining again.​
About remembering yourself.
You don’t have to be an artist.​
You just have to want to inhabit your body with meaning,​
to hear that quiet little voice inside—​
the one you may have ignored,​
but is still there.

This is for you if you’ve ever thought:

●​ “I don’t feel creative anymore.”​

●​ “I feel disconnected.”​

●​ “I don’t know what’s wrong, but something’s missing.”​

●​ “I need to feel something that’s truly mine again.”​

If you read that and thought “That’s me”… then welcome.​


Let’s wake up that sleepy part of you,​
the one that doesn’t expect perfection.​
It just wants to move again. Create. Breathe. Live.

🌼 Return to the side that dreams


Our brain has two hemispheres.​
The left organizes, analyzes, labels, lists, plans.​
It helps us function in the world.

The right feels, imagines, connects, creates.​


It’s the side that dances, paints, and dreams.​
The one that whispers ideas in the shower, cries with a song,​
remembers how summer smelled when you were a child.

They’re not enemies.​


They work together all the time.​
But in daily life, we give much more space to the logical, structured, rational side.

And that has consequences.​


You become more critical. Harsher with yourself.​
It gets harder to imagine, to flow, to let go of control.​
And without noticing, you start to feel dimmed.

If you struggle to focus, lack new ideas, or feel uninspired—​


your right side might be asleep.​
Not because something’s wrong with you,​
but because you haven’t given it space to speak in a long time.

This is a bridge to that side.​


A way back to what is still alive in you, even if silent.

🌼 How we lost our right hemisphere


Since we were little, we were trained to perform.​
To raise our hand only if we had the right answer.​
To sit still, repeat, follow instructions, not make mistakes.​
Everything had to make sense, have a use, a result.

And so, without realizing it, we started to silence a part of us that didn’t ask for approval—​
it just wanted to express itself.

We were taught to think before feeling.​


To speak before listening.​
To produce before playing.

And unknowingly, our intuition went quiet.​


Creativity hid behind the fear of judgment.​
Emotion disguised itself as efficiency.

We became functional machines...​


when all we really wanted was to live as humans.

🌼 Signs your right side is asleep


This isn’t diagnosed by a test.​
It’s felt.

Maybe you experience things like:

●​ You want to create, but feel like you “don’t know how to do it right.”​

●​ Your mind is full, but your soul feels paused.​

●​ You struggle to feel deeply without guilt creeping in.​

●​ It’s been years since you wrote, drew, sang, or played—for fear of looking “ridiculous.”​
None of this means you lack talent.​
It’s just your left brain in control.​
while your right side whispers from deep inside:

“When will you let me back in?”

🌼 Art isn’t decoration. It’s medicine.


Creating isn’t just an extra activity.​
It’s an internal need.​
A channel that releases what words cannot express.

When you activate your right hemisphere through music, drawing, writing or movement, something
shifts.​
Not just in your mind,​
in your emotions.​
In how connected you feel to yourself.

✔ You lower the volume of control.​


✔ You access slower, more relaxed brainwaves.​
✔ You release dopamine: pleasure, motivation, openness.​
✔ You remember things you didn’t know still hurt.​
✔ You reconnect with a part of you that doesn’t want to shine—just to be.

And maybe… that deep place where intuition lives wakes up too.​
Your inner eye. The invisible part that sees without looking.

You don’t need to know how to paint, write or sing.​


You just need to remember that these forms already live inside you.

🌼 Before you create...


Creating is not an obligation. It’s permission.​
A space that only opens when we slow down.

Before doing any exercise:

1. Conscious breathing (2 minutes)

●​ Inhale through your nose for 4 counts​


●​ Hold for 2​

●​ Exhale slowly through your mouth for 6​

●​ Repeat for 3 to 5 rounds​

Feel your body soften. You are present. That is enough.

2. Mini connection meditation (1 minute)

Close your eyes. Picture a door.​


On the other side, your creativity is waiting.​
Open it. Don’t force it. Just listen.​
What shape does your energy have today? What color? What rhythm?

🌼 What to do if you feel blocked


✔ Switch tools (go from pencil to color)​
✔ Draw your blockage (what shape does it have? weight? name?)​
✔ Write one phrase: “Today it’s hard to create, but I give myself this moment anyway.”​
✔ Remember: you’re not trying to do it “right.” You’re trying to return to yourself.​
✔ You can close the notebook. Or continue. You decide.
