That's right, your Muse. Your creative source. Your inspiration for all the kooky, creative things you do. The voice that whispers, ?Hey, why don't you try encaustic painting? That looks like fun!?
Or maybe your voice has a more, well, cranky tone. Maybe your Muse's voice gets snarky when she sees others creating. Maybe she feels abandoned in the corner, tucked away behind the towering to-do lists.
It could be time for a relationship check-in. My boyfriend and I do these periodically. We take a walk and discuss the state of our relationship. These conversations clear out any resentments that have been piling up. They offer a safe forum for checking in with our shared dream. And, these tete-a-tetes invariably bring us closer.
Try this with your Muse. Plan a few minutes of quiet time to get connected to your creative source. Use your journal to deepen the connection and listen to what your creative source has to say. Let your pen move on the page and don't censor anything that comes up.
Interview your Muse. Ask the kind of questions that you would ask a really fascinating person that you have always wanted to meet. What motivates you? What do you love? What do you do for fun?
Ask what your Muse wants. Find out if there are any gifts, real or energetic, that she needs. Let her explain whatever she needs. What she writes may be a rant; if you haven't been listening to your creative impulses, she may have some resentment stored up.
Make requests of your Muse. You may ask her for help with finishing projects, rather than confetting you with more ideas, more inspiration, more projects.
Redesign your alliance. What would a really fabulous year with your Muse look like? What do you want to celebrate with your Muse at the end of the year? Look at what kind of relationship would make you eager to get to the studio or the writing desk. Brainstorm how much time you would spend together, where and when you'd meet, what you'd do when you got together.
Complete the check-in with some kind of celebration. Go to a museum or gallery, or a shop devoted to your craft. Take your Muse to tea or happy hour, just the two of you, and giggle together over your plans.
Using these prompts is a great start to cultivating a deeper connection to your creative source. But an ongoing dialogue truly feeds you and your Muse. Make sure that you give yourself this very vital relationship. One of the side benefits of doing so is better relationships with the others in your life.
Other benefits include feeling more fulfilled, completing projects that have been shelved for too long, and gaining a sense of self-confidence and satisfaction from having a truly dynamic creative life.
Sounds good, doesn't it? So take some time to connect with your Muse and see what she has to offer.
The term "DesiMySpace" in itself is self explanatory. It sure gives you a clue that this is a site and space where "Desis" i.e. Indians from all over the world come together to connect on different levels. DesiMySpace gives us a forum to interact, exchange views, make business connections and most important of all, make friends! It has a wide range of members from different walks of life.
This site gives me a forum to talk about myself, my interests, upload my pictures, and I am able to connect with like minded people of both genders. There are forums where different topics are discussed, a blog section where the members talk about current issues both, social and personal, their thoughts etc. New features are introduced on regular basis, and measures for improvement of information security are proactively taken.
The Administrator of DesiMySpace is quite innovative, and comes up with ways of rewarding members for their active participation which is very encouraging. The regular contests motivate members to be more active, which in turn helps them expand their circle of friends and contacts.
DesiMySpace is one of the most decent community sites I have ever seen. The moderation is done with a lot of scrutiny so that its members enjoy the comfort of browsing the site from anywhere at any time. There are absolutely no traces of vulgarity or pornography on this site which makes it safe for youngsters to become members.
Right from day one this site has become an integral part of my daily life. I have made great friends here with whom I interact on a regular basis. DesiMySpace has given me a forum to exhibit my talents and be creative. Almost all members of this site are very warm and friendly. They make you feel at home right from the start.
The best part of DesiMySpace is its members. They make an extra effort to get to know new members. In a short span of time I have managed to make friends with whom I share a level of comfort that is on par with people I have known for years.
My fellow members at DesiMySpace have always been a source of joy and inspiration to me. Conversations on chat or the "shout box" have always made me smile. Some real life experiences in the blog section have inspired and touched me. All in all, my experience of being a member on this site has been great!
