How to develop your psychic awareness by making art (even if you’re ‘bad’ at it)
Back in the beforetimes of Sunlight Oracle, I used to work in the semi-steady but totally traumatic photography industry of Los Angeles.
Despite my career struggles, my personal life was blossoming. I was falling in love with my now-husband, and I was making a lot of fulfilling photography work outside of my job.
Naturally, my personal work started to showcase other people I noticed who appeared to be “in love”, like me.
A couple I photographed on my iPhone at a bar in SIlver Lake for my street photography series, “People in Love” in 2016. This series features people I did not know in public spaces.
At the time, I did not realize I am a highly-sensitive person, and that photography was helping me cope with overstimulating and unfamiliar environments.
But I don’t just see it as a coping mechanism any more; I see it as a training ground for mindfulness, extra-sensory perception, psychic prediction, and nervous system regulation.
I know being a photographer offered me a sense of empowerment over my energy sensitivies and helped me navigate my new environment of California with more confidence.
If you, like me, are already so incredibly in-tune with your environment that it often overwhelms you.. then cultivating an artmaking practice is my #1 suggestion for transmuting sensory overload into psychic empowerment.
Yet I work with and meet art-repressed people all the time. They say they used to make it but they’re not good at it. Or that they want to make it, but they don’t have the time. But mostly they say they’re afraid of looking stupid for doing it.
Still reading this? This is officially your sign to start making art — not just to make pretty things — but to cultivate curiosity and build confidence as a pre-requisite for feeling empowered in a world that is hell-bent on making the pursuit of creative appear useless, undesirable, unrealistic, and selfish.
Making art is, in fact, empowering, inspiring, and the precise quality that makes human beings what they are — human beings.
If you struggle to make art, or fear that you’re “not good at it”...Ask yourself this start by asking yourself this:
Whose voice is that? The one that’s censoring/oppressing me?And why do I let them do it?
