How to Find & Follow Your Bliss
How to create what would you would love…
Joseph Campbell once said to follow your bliss. “If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss, and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.”
This is what I believe Campbell meant by your bliss and how to follow it.
Bliss is something you really, really want. The problem is that we don’t always know how to follow our bliss or even necessarily what that might be. If you want to learn what you bliss might be and how to follow it, the Creative Manifestation Coaching Program can to put you on that track. This material is based on what I learned since applying my PhD in Jungian psychology to my coaching practice and the knowledge I have gained over the years.
Follow Your Bliss
Following your bliss involves learning how to gain mastery of the principles of creating. This is the process that is used by professionals to bring forth any creative project. What most people do not know is that it can also be used to create what you want in life both personally and professionally. This includes a love relationship, exciting work, better health and prosperity. Another way to view following your bliss is like having what has been called in creative circles a burning desire.
Your Burning Desire
All creative projects really begin with a ‘burning desire.’ Desire is very different than wishful thinking which is more passive like day dreaming. Taking a deeper look at the word desire from its Latin meaning, we find that desire is a specific kind of longing. A burning desire is our ‘ultimate concern’ and contains insights into what we are most passionate.
It is not necessarily just an ego-based want. That could really be more something you got from the culture or messages you picked up from your family, not really what is calling you. So this process is a little like going on a journey or expedition to find and pursue what really matters to you. Then re-assess and re-align your goals with that. The pursuit of the right goals for the right reason is what I believe based on my research and practice is what brings fulfillment and real happiness.
For example, if you always had a secret desire to write creatively, your desire would not necessarily be to write in order to become rich and famous. It is because you have a passion and desire to write creatively… to tell your stories and touch other people with those stories. Denying this pursuit would probably surface in some way as negative in an attempt to get your attention. The problem is we don’t know how to read or understand the messages from our inner psyche.
What Do You Want?
Deciding on what you want and having the right way is the first stage of creating… to decide what it is you want to create. If you can imagine it, it can be It can become real when you re-learn how to use your imagination. Bring it forward and transform any resistance or self-doubt that might emerge. You must however… really want it.
This is what I think we are all really hungry for- we all have a longing to create and we are all creative. By create, I don’t just mean something artistic, I mean anything you want to bring forward in your life, a relationship, health, meaningful vocation (work). Something that really excites you is meaningful that you are being called to do even if you are not listening.
So, the first step is to identify what it is that you want to create, what makes you happy.
This is the secret
Learn how to apply the principles of creating used by professional creators to create what you want in your life, personally and professionally. Creating is a skill that can be learned and developed. You can learn to apply the principles of creating to what you really want in your life and by doing so, rediscover your inner genius.
Genius is an inside job
It is based on timeless creative principles to which we all have access. Your focus creates your reality, but it is not so easy to just change this as it emanates from an unconscious process.
The art of creative manifestation shows you to identify what you would most love to create and how to clear what keeps you from creating it. This means understanding how creativity works and how to navigate the process. This is I believe what Campbell meant by following your bliss.
There are three stages to the creative process:
- Preparation
- Illumination
- Manifestation
Understanding how to navigate these stages includes the ability to live your life guided by intuition and imagination. We start with asking what we would love. Then we go about learning the practice of how to bring it forward, as if we were creating it. What most people do not realize is that creating is a skill that can be learned and developed.
The creative process begins with identifying your heart’s desire, what you would love to… be, do, have. Next, understand how the reoccurring patterns in your life that prevented this from coming to fruition. Then you can begin to build new ones. This will lead you to what you want. I like to look at it as an adventure in reimagining yourself.
Here are the Steps to Identifying Your Heart’s Desire:
- Decide what you would really love to be, do have… create.
- Understand what currently exists, how to clear the past and the resistance.
- Focus on the end result. Create a vision of what you want. Learn the powerful manifestation meditation that gets the attention of the creative imagination, how to form or create pictures of what you want.
- Cultivate your intuitive side. Pay attention to what shows up in your life.
- Start to take action.
- Be persistent and learn how to navigate the creative tension. Learn how to step into your personal power. Identify what you would love, make the decision to go for it and learn how to bring it to fruition.
