Speaking from our heart does not always need to be serious and profound. The heart can be gay, spontaneous and full of humour and creativity. Where does it all come from?
Resting at Point Zero
The source of this creativity is the creative emptiness or silence (point zero) out of which your words come. “Your willingness to meet this nothingness without panic is your greatest ally.” (Michelle Cassou-Reclaiming the Magic of Spontaneous Expression) Each time we speak, we can rest in this emptiness, and wait without demand or expectation, for what wants to arise.
This is one of the core aspects of my work, helping people open to the silence and space within them, and recognize that they do not need to be afraid of it. It’s the creative source of our being, our greatest resource. But we have to learn to respect it, acknowledge it, and listen to it. The more we practice this, the more we can let go into trusting this place in us-this silence that reveals itself to us in so many beautiful and surprising ways.
