As they say traveling opens our eyes and broadens our experience. With travel I am continually broadening my definition of creativity, my eyes and sensory experience expanding every day. I am loving meeting new people, visiting new places, new teachers and insight, enjoying stimulating dinner party conversations, absorbing exhibitions at galleries and witnessing every day life on the street around the world. 
This weeks post is inspired by this experience, taking a look at the important value and variety of creativity in our lives.

Creativity is our participation with Life. 
It is not limited to particular fields or endeavors.
It’s as individual as we are.
It’s where our Passion is.
It is the thing that we do that gives us our buzz, feel completely alive, confident and naturally joyful doing our “thing”.

With whole body awareness and self knowledge, yoga is one of a myriad of ways to heighten our creative participation with Life.

Open your eyes and imagination, expand the boundaries of mind that limit your perception of creativity.
Your life truly is your very own individual work of art, do have fun with it.

Some ideas here
Ponder: Health, Contentment and Trust are your greatest possessions and Freedom your greatest Joy. The Dhammapada. 

Do: Actively participate in your wellness, health and life balance. Wednesday 6pm yoga class at Breathing Space continues every week. Yolande Bolte is teaching the class while I am away. Evening yoga is a Yin practice which restores flagging energy levels during Late Summer’s Earth element phase. I highly recommend it to maintain your wellness and practice now.
