Awaken Your Deeper Creative Consciousness
A 5-min. practice to follow your heart strings to something bigger than you
Welcome, Brave One. We’re here to manifest our unique genius in a world that taught us to conform. Let’s invite divine guidance to show us how, with today’s 5-minute inner play with the Golden Thread (below). But first, here’s a song for our sponsor, Mama Earth:
Your Brave Stories inspire me.
We need each other to become a little more brave (when you yawn, I gotta yawn, too 🥱). When I hear your story of leaning into a heartfelt risk, no matter how small, I celebrate you. And feel more ready to follow my Mostly Brave urges.
That’s why I ask you to become a paid member of our Brave Crew. Soon we’ll gather on Zoom for a monthly Brave Creative Ritual. I’ll set the tone with a mini-sound bath and intuitive HeartsQuest reading (perhaps for you?), then we’ll celebrate our wins and our struggles. We need you for this inspiring magick to work. Thank you!
The Golden Thread: A Secret Guide to the Creative Soul
I curl up under an impossibly soft purple Costco blanket. I breathe deeply and close my eyes to enter a meditative state. In my imagination, I invite the Golden Thread.
She flows toward me through a stand of trees, like a serpent made of energy. Luminous tendrils reach for my heart and interweave with my body.
It’s the vibration of longing. This creative force wants me as much as I want her!
How best to honor this powerful desire? I ask my Soul, “What do I really want now?”
She says,“Sing.”
Let’s access a greater, wiser pool of insight.
The Golden Strand is an ancient symbol of divine universal consciousness, the guiding light that leads us through the darkness (some call this Jesus, God, Goddess, the Universe, Quantum Mind, the Force, or even the Flying Spaghetti Monster).
In Greek mythology, Adriadne gave Theseus a golden thread to navigate the labyrinth and defeat the Minotaur. This thread represented his connection to the divine inner guidance that allows him to find his way back home.1
When I can't sense this guidance, I lose sight of what matters. Lost in a labyrinth, I give all my time and attention to the demands of the day and mindless distractions.
When I connect to something bigger than me, I feel powerful. I trust that what I’m called to create and share is beautiful and needed, that I can do it, and that it matters.
As a storyteller and singer, I move emotions.
If we craft our stories well, others can resonate. If we’re lucky, we get smiles, nods, laughter and maybe some tears.
As a singer and Sound Healing practitioner, I facilitate emotional release in our bodies and our nervous system. The vibrations of music, sound, and songs move us.
At our free Sound Bath in the park yesterday, I tuned in and sang the grief that wanted to move through us. All our guests wiped tears or smiled despite red eyes. One had lost her daughter, another had just lost her mother figure. My heart felt grateful. As shaman Martin Prectel taught me, “Every single tear is a gift to the Earth.”
As my Soul told me: “Sing.” But what about my love of story? She revealed a secret:
“Each of your stories IS a song. Let it sing and ring with the full radiance of your potent voice.” ~ Wow!
Let’s play with a sense of purpose.
To access your own golden guidance, we invite the liminal realms of imagination.2 See you in the comments 💗
Today’s 5-minute exercise: The Golden Thread
May this 5-minute practice open a portal of inspired purpose. This video features the potty-mouth, ‘Holy Sh*t’ 💩 version of the tool. Or follow the steps below.
The Golden Thread: What attracts me, draws me forward?
BREATHE deeply. Let out a big “ahhh...”
CONSIDER your future and any questions about your direction. Allow these to settle.
IMAGINE that you are moving along a path. NOTICE the surface you walk on, any textures, sounds, colors, smells, or weather.
VISUALIZE a Golden Thread (or other light) shimmering in the air ahead. Notice its qualities: color, thickness, glow.
REACH out to touch it. How does it feel?
FOLLOW the Golden Thread. Continue as it guides you forward. Does it lead you to something? See any signs, clues or images?
When done, REFLECT: “I‘m ready to...”
Creative Prompts to find, feel, and follow your thread
EXPLORE: Write or share about your adventure with the Golden Thread (in the comments?👇🏽) Where did it lead you?
CREATE: Dance, sing, or draw your experience. Show how it pulls you and what was illuminated.
MANIFEST: This week, notice what resonates, calls out to you, or glows a little (like magic). Trust it. Take the next baby steps toward that ‘something.’

More to come,
So much of what turns up these days reads like AI, including this resource 😳
…music is pretty amazing but more and more every day i find just sounds to be doing the trick…now the trick with that is all sound might be music…all to say that i think organization is overrated…long live unsolvable labyrinths…
