• Unable to bring your vision into the world despite having done all the research, practice, and preparation; despite having all the necessary skills and a greater depth of knowledge than many others that are out there already doing it
• Going on powerful retreats where you have real break throughs, feel connection, clarity, expansiveness, and everything seems to make sense; only to find that, on returning home, the clarity fades and your life looks exactly as it did before.
• Doing more, trying harder, using different strategies, promising yourself, “Today I will make the change!” And for a short time it seems to work, before things inevitably slide back again, without any meaningful progress being made.

• Sitting down to write, paint, build a business, create your vision, and the inner voice immediately starts up with, “Is it good enough?” “Am I good enough?” “How can I do it better?” And so you leave it again for another day.
• Awakening to who you really really are, deeply knowing that you are already whole, already complete, that nothing is needed; only for that knowing to fade and the sense that something is missing return, something you need to get before you can truly live.
• Seeing the distance between the vision you hold and the reality you live getting wider and wider apart, whilst you’re running out of time to pretend this is still a ‘work in progress’.

In can be tough to truly acknowledge that despite all the books, the courses, the retreats, the journaling, the studying, the accreditations, the breathwork, the bodywork, the meditations, the plant medicines, you still haven’t been able to actualise the life you are meant to live.

The good news is the problem is easily diagnosed.

For most of us, when we go for something in life, rather than coming from our true heart’s desire we’re actually coming from an unconscious need to resolve a deep sense of inadequacy—to try to prove our worth, or fix what’s ‘wrong’ with us—and so avoid the horror of being exposed, judged or found lacking.

We might think we’re focused on whatever we want to create, but actually we’re focused on not failing, on not being exposed, on finding safety—on surviving; and it’s where our focus lies that creates our reality.

This is the survival orientation, and it’s a structure that cannot be fixed, no matter how much work, energy or effort you put into trying.

It’s not about doing more inner work, or working harder, it’s about an entire shift in orientation.

The only way to change the results you’re getting is to switch to the creative orientation.

In the creative orientation we recognise that who we truly are was never deficient but always already whole and complete, and so we’re free to go for whatever it is our heart truly wishes to create; not to prove anything, not to avoid anything, not out of compensation, but simply because the creation wants to exist.

When you shift from the survival orientation to the creative orientation, the blockage naturally dissolves away and the creative energy that had been trapped for years can start to flow; not because the conditions are finally perfect, but because the fear of exposure that was generating the blockage no longer has the power.

This is not about positive thinking, being in the right state or having the ‘right vibration’. It’s simply about a change in structure. In the Creative Orientation it’s your gifts, talents and abilities, it’s what you love that takes the focus, not what you fear.

Then your vision is free to come together with a natural ease and momentum.
