The path to Reveal, Reclaim, Become, Embody and Be the Artist
Last week, an old acquaintance from my life on the road send me a message, and remarked that I had completely changed my life. She hadn’t followed the path I took for the past 5 years, and indeed, she is right everything on the surface has changed, following many inner transformations. For example, she knew me as a nomad, but I’ve been sedentary for five years. She knew me as single and I’m now in a beautiful partnership. She knew me as a travel blogger, and I’m now a shamanic healer and writer. She knew me as living a fast-pace lifestyle - unhealthy in many ways - and I’m now vegan, have healed all my health issues and do my best to live a slower lifestyle, focused on joy and the now.
The last time we saw each other was a couple of months before an NDE (Near Death Experience) that would come change all my life. My old friend sees a before, and an after, a transformation from one place to the next, but it wasn’t at all like that, and actually took countless detours, much work, shadows and light to transmute and reintegrate, fears to uphold and face, new habits and thoughts patterns to form, risks taken, skills learned and new paths chosen, again and again to get to the new place where I find myself now.
I might not be fully where I’d want to be, as an artist, as a healer, as an entrepreneur, as a woman, as a human, but I am fully aware that I build the path to my destination with each breath, with every moment, with every thought, with every new action, with each new patterns, with a new paradigm that I invent. Long enough time has passed for me to trust the way, the process, to see the results of years of healing, faith, and reinvention.
I remember quite painfully the time when one of my friend commentated on the fact that the personal growth and spiritual work I was doing, was not “working”, wasn’t “successful” because nothing had changed in my physical reality - i.e. I was still broke, searching and not recognised for my art, even if I had chosen a path of intuition, joy alignement and art, and that every day I did all I could to improve, heal, align to a lighter me, and create and act from a peaceful place. Even though our definitions of success may vary greatly, and mine is deeply rooted in a joyful and peaceful process and daily life, this is not what I’d like to write about today.
It breaks my heart to see so artists spirits be broken, by a collective consciousness that revels in fear, doubt and egoic and mind projections. To keep faith and trust in the process is a difficult feat when all around us seem to be telling us it is not working. But trust me artist, it is working, it is already working and you’ll only find out if you keep going.
Have faith, trust, know that your healing, your process will anchor in reality in time
I knew then, even though I couldn’t say it, as I know now that the work would pan out, and that it already did in invisible and beautiful ways. All the inner changes, the work, the transformation, brought immense peace, healing to my traumas, a new way of being, and showing up in the world and to my art, and every day was unravelling, is still unravelling towards the place I want to be. It is very intangible, hard to witness, to see, to grasp at first and every day brings something new, leading me to the next step to that world I want to create.
And one day perhaps, a new person will see, will witness, the before and after, the transformation, without having seen the transition, because after all, it all starts within. For me, and for you too.
I know dear artist that it’s difficult to trust the path, when even you don’t see the result of all your work, but you have already grown so much, and you will carry on to grow towards your light.
Doubting the process is often a great way for us to take steps backwards and not take the risks and chances that will lead us to our most beautiful art.
I trust, I have faith, I know I’m building. I’m building from peace, light, flow, joy and alignement. I know my “delusions” will pay off, and lead me to deeper levels of transformation and success.
I carry on, knowing that with every needle I move, I get closer to where I want to be, knowing I am already who I want to be, through the process through the joy.
Creating from abundance
This year, I want to feel abundant in my art, and in my creative process. I don’t want to stray away anymore, for fear of being wrong, of being ridiculed, for not trusting my own instincts. I want you to feel abundant too, to move towards your art, your soul and your mission. Because from abundance, at the opposite spectrum of scarcity, we create, we ignite, we build, in truth, in love, in fairness, in soul, in mission, in light, for the highest good of all, human and nature alike. And together, we can create a more beautiful, aligned and soulful paradigm of artistry.
So, where do we start, what do we do? We take it one day at a time. We come back to an abundant mindset, again, and again, and again, and most especially before and during our art practices. Because that’s the only way we will find our voice and create in integrity to what the art piece wants to become. And not from our fears and our mind will have us do instead, in case our instincts and ideas were wrong all along.
We take one step. We breathe in stillness. We take the next step. We rest. We learn. We grow. We love and we start again the next day, the next week, the next month, the next year.
Will you join me and support your art and your artist in abundance, soul and joy this year?
Free Video Playlist on Youtube
I’ve created a free playlist on Youtube to Become, Embody and Be the artist you are.
There, you’ll find a Masterclass about time, another one about money, a bilingual accountability session, a reflection and I’ll be adding more as I go. This playlist is designed to get you started to feel and create as an abundant artist.
(Psssst, pssst, if you speak French, there are more videos on the French Playlist).
I have several projects in the works to support artist and art, and I hope we can all carry the torch of a new paradigm together.
What would make you feel like an abundant artist this year?
With much love, light and gratitude,
Lucie Alma Aidart
