3 Tips to Create a Resourceful, Intuitive Space for Creativity

by Jenna on March 9, 2010

As sensitive entrepreneur and creative visionary, I know that your inner critic can take a loud, center stage at times and stop you from claiming and moving ahead with your vision.

When that happens, finding your way back to sanity, let alone clarity, can feel nigh impossible.

Here are three quick tips to help you find your way back to a resourceful, intuitive space when you lose your way:

1. Get help to remember who you are.
Deep down, you know and remember that you are a creative, resourceful, inspired being here with important work to do on the planet. From time to time, you simply forget that truth.

When that happens, turn to your supportive friends or to your coach or mentor for a bracing jolt of “wake up” to remind you that yes, you are a good person, you do have value, and you do have important work to do.


2. Take a step back.
When you’re in the throes of debate with your inner critic, it’s impossible to be creative or inspired. Everything feels too hard and too heavy.

This is a perfect time to take a step back, shake off the woollies, and do something wonderfully supportive for yourself, like taking yourself out for breakfast, receiving body work from a grounded, supportive practitioner, or even taking a luxurious soak in a hot tub.


3. Connect with your Muse, the Universe, or your Higher Self when you’re ready for guidance.
Once you know who you are again and you’ve refilled your own well, check in with your Muse, the Universe, or your Higher Self for guidance about what’s next.

Use the tools of wondering, daydreaming, collaging, and journaling to cast a WIDE net of exploration and possibility. Ask your inner critic to hold the questions for later, when it’s time to refine your plan and make it practical.


It’s All About Your Vision
Remember, at this Vision stage of the game, you first have to get in touch with WHAT you want, before you start working on the How. Learning how to renew and recharge to stay in touch with your inner creativity and resourcefulness will help you tap the greater wisdom you have about what you are here to offer.

Why I Want To Read Your Hands

by Jenna on February 28, 2010

You may or may not have noticed that I have a “special” right now on hand readings, and that it’s ending tonight.

Perhaps you’re wondering what a hand reading is or why you might want one. Or maybe you’re wondering why I’ve started doing them and how woo-woo they are, anyway?


Here’s what I want you to know:

I trained to do Life Purpose hand readings because when I had a hand reading myself 2 years ago, I was completely blown away with the accuracy of it.

… there were so many key aspects of my deeper self that the hand reading called out and recognized — parts of me I’ve kept hidden, even from myself.

For instance, I have gift markings that show my innate leadership, writing and speaking abilities, and drive to be “in the spotlight” (a big deal for a sensitive soul to own!).

I have life purpose markings that call out my inner drive to guide, lead, support and mentor others, AND to do it in a big, big way with great success.

I also have life lesson and life “school” markings that show exactly what I struggle with (trust and self-sacrifice) and what to do about it.

The reading spoke to that deeper part of me that knows I’m here to contribute in a big way, stand out, AND do it in a way that honors my intuitive, empathic, and creative gifts.  It also gave me powerful clues on what to work on so I can achieve that higher vision for myself.


** What will your hands say about you? **


You can book a hand reading through the end of the day today for only $297, after that the investment goes up to $497. These sessions are also available at an even better rate when you and a friend sign up together; a 2-for-1 Valentine’s month treat.

With each reading, you’ll receive a hand printing kit in the mail (good news: we don’t have to meet in person for me to read your hands :) , a private 40 minute phone session with me, an MP3 recording of the session, and a personal summary report of your results.

You’ll also receive the deep, soul-level validation of finally being seen for who you really are.

I’d love to do this for you.

PS — And no, this system of analysis is not particularly woo-woo; it’s actually a repeatable method of analyzing your fingerprints and  hand prints to determine your gifts, purpose, lessons, and “school,” truly invaluable information for getting you back on your true path.

What Works For Your Schedule, Decide In the Moment

by Jenna on February 25, 2010

As I was walking to the park with my son the other day I caught myself thinking, “Would I rather fill Saturday with social events and have Sunday “off” so I have a big chunk of free time, cancel some or all of them, or spread them out over Saturday and Sunday?”

It was one of those funny self-coaching moments, because I realized that I was balancing my own stimulation levels, something I often coach sensitives to do.

In the end I chose the spread-out method and it worked out well.

It reminded though, of how important it is for sensitive types to give conscious thought to how we use our time and energy, and how it can be different from one day to the next. (One size doesn’t fit all.)

So next time you’re feeling overwhelmed with scheduling choices, remember YOU get to decide what works best for you in the moment.

Two Minutes To Bring Back Your Spirit

by Jenna on February 23, 2010

What does it mean when we say “my spirit is gone”?

Our spirit is our Essence, our life force, our energy.

When it is gone, we feel checked out, dry, and deflated.

Our spirits leave for good reason — usually when we are off our path, trying to force ourselves to do something we think we “should” do, or just plain old pushing ourselves too hard and getting exhausted.

When that happens, your spirit says, “No, thanks, I’m outta here.”

Our spirits also leave when we don’t take the time to properly nurture and care for ourselves on all fronts. It’s so easy for sensitive and creative types to get caught up in our pursuits of ideas, spirituality, creativity, and personal growth “work” that we don’t take the time to remember to daydream, take care of our bodies, rest, eat well, sleep, and PLAY. We have to remember to savor and enjoy life too, along the way.

And, yes, for all of you (me too) high-achieving sensitive souls out there, all those things are actually productive because they are what allow us to do our Work in the world. When the well is full, it can spill over abundantly with creativity and productivity.

Another reason I see our spirits leave is when we are relentlessly hard on ourselves, not giving ourselves the chance even to take action on our creative dreams and visions because we are so busy wrestling with our inner critics.

So if you’ve been feeling down, out-of-sorts, unmotivated, uninspired, or lost, ask Karla McLaren’s powerful question, “Why has my spirit gone?” You may discover something you’ve been doing (or not doing) that’s sent your inner self off on vacation and left the gremlins in charge.

To bring your spirit back, try this technique I learned from my wise teacher, Sonia Choquette:

Find a trusted friend and share about what your spirit loves, for at least two minutes each, out loud. The other person simply holds the space for your sharing, just listening, without comment, feedback, or interaction.

If you don’t have someone to work with, say “My spirit loves…” out loud to yourself in the shower or in the mirror. It’s a powerful way to get back in touch with yourself quickly.

Use your answers to create a list you can use “in case of emergency.”

Then, pick something from your list, and do it.

Let me know how it goes, okay?

The Subtle Vibration Matters

by Jenna on February 11, 2010

I was recently reminded of the importance of the subtle vibrations of, well, everything, when I made lunch the other day. Last year I wrote about how changing what you eat can change your vibration and had a first hand experience (again) that I want to share with you.

Case in point: I love Trader Joe’s “Vegetable Biryani,” but I know that when I eat anything that isn’t fresh, it affects my vibration. So, after a collaboration last year with the talented and intuitive Mindy Mortlock of www.ConsciousTable.com, I created my own Indian spice mix that I could use to make my own biryani.

I put it together the other day with all the same essential ingredients (rice, apples, raisins, peas, spices), cooked it the same way, and it tasted similar (but better).

What I noticed was how differently I felt when I ate it — it wasn’t just the flavor or quality of the food that was different, it was the vibration of it as well. And not only that, but MY vibration was different. I felt more energized, lighter, cleaner, even clearer.

In a pinch, I “take a ‘bad’ food and make it better” — I add organic fresh veggies and other tweaks to improve the nutritional value of what I’m eating, but it’s just not the same as starting from scratch.

I encourage you to try this yourself and see what you notice — pick out a “fast” food (I rarely eat true fast food but I count TJ’s items in that category now) and make a homemade version of it yourself.

Plus, see if you can find ways to make it “fast” even at home. I made a big batch of rice the other morning and then had that on hand to make 3 other meals. Talk about a time saver. My other favorite fast food trick is to freeze big batches of slow food stews and soups we can easily reheat on demand.

The bottom line is that what you eat affects your energy and therefore your ability to be yourself in the world.

The subtle vibration does matter.
