When Awakening Meets Art: The Creative Pulse Behind My Path
Share
Creativity has been the thread running through my entire life.
As a child, it was how I made sense of the world; through drawing, painting, storytelling, and creating imaginary worlds. Art and writing were my safe spaces, my language, my way of being.
But as I grew older and left school, something shifted.
I couldn’t see a clear path for where creativity could take me.
I hit a wall, not because the creativity left me, but because I couldn’t yet see a life that held it.
Still, I kept it quietly alive as a hobby, a small flame I never fully extinguished.
Returning to Creativity in My Mid-Twenties
In my mid-twenties, something inside me stirred.
A feeling that I wanted to support others… and that somehow, art would be part of that.
So I made a leap.
I went back to college.
Then on to university.
And somewhere within lectures and canvases and long nights of studying, I also began raising my family, my two children, the biggest teachers of all.
After my degree, I trained as an art teacher.
I got my first job… and then the pandemic hit.
Everything changed.
Life slowed.
Life rearranged.
And my family and I decided to move to Lanzarote - a move that ended up shifting more than just our surroundings.
Lanzarote: Where My Inner World Began Opening
In Lanzarote, I raised my children and, in the background, kept asking myself:
How can I express myself?
How can I share what I love?
How can I work in a way that feels true?
I began exploring online expression.
First through art T-shirts.
Then through children’s books.
Both were creative, both were meaningful, and both were stepping stones rather than destinations.
But perhaps the most important part of those early years was meeting people who thought the way I did.
People who were sensitive, intuitive, spiritual - people who felt like home.
Together, one day, we went to a Kundalini session.
We didn’t fully understand what it was.
We didn’t know what would happen.
But what happened blew me open.
It was as if something inside me that had been whispering my whole life suddenly spoke clearly.
I walked out knowing:
I want this in my life.
And eventually:
I want to share this with others.
So I trained.
And everything changed.
Kundalini & Creativity: The Feminine Energy That Connects Them
Kundalini is deeply connected to creativity, not as a concept, but as an energy.
It’s a feminine force that moves through intuition, creation, healing, sensitivity, and inner peace.
When Kundalini awakens, it doesn’t just open the spiritual senses…
it opens the creative ones.
Since beginning my Kundalini journey, I’ve felt sudden urges to create:
to write, to draw, to design, to express, to build.
It comes through like a wave, something I just have to get out of my system.
It’s not forced.
It’s not planned.
It rises naturally, like the energy itself.
And in that rising, I realised:
Creativity was never separate from my path.
It was always leading me here.
The Soft Awakening: Bringing It All Together
This was my clarity... All the pieces of my life -
my childhood creativity,
my art degree,
my years of teaching,
my children,
my books,
my move to Lanzarote,
my spiritual friendships,
my awakening,
they were never separate paths.
They were weaving themselves into one.
And that weaving became The Soft Awakening.
A place where creativity, spirituality, sensitivity, and awakening can exist gently together.
A place where people who are experiencing awakening, especially those who feel frightened, overwhelmed, or unsure, can come and feel held by softness.
Because awakening doesn’t have to be loud or frightening.
It doesn’t have to be chaotic.
It doesn’t have to be lonely.
It can be creative.
Intuitive.
Peaceful.
Feminine.
Beautiful.
And now, through The Soft Awakening, I want to bring these worlds together, to support others who are also creative, sensitive, intuitive souls waking up to themselves.
Together, we can build something beautiful.
