Your Creativity Guides are advising you that there’s no way to avoid risk if you wish to live a creative life. Stop worrying about making right and wrong choices, and view all of them as creative opportunities. Be glad you have the freedom to make choices at all, and realize that no matter what you choose, you’ll create something. If you don’t like the result, then simply go back to the drawing board and make new and, hopefully, better choices.

Your Creativity Guides remind you not to look at life in terms of black and white, me against you, all or nothing. You’re a creative spirit regardless of what else is going on in your life. Assess your creations with appreciation and respect. Whether good, bad, or indifferent, they all reflect your creativity. Celebrate everything you enjoy, and don’t fret over the rest. See your less desirable creations as interesting rough drafts, and follow your Creativity Guides’ advice: “Go back to the drawing board.”

This isn’t a time to act under an imagined sense of urgency. Keep your emotions from running away with you. Turn to your Higher Self, engage your power of reason, and trust your inclination to step away from the drama and intensity of the moment. Study and analyze all the factors of the situation, and allow your Higher Self to guide you to the right end. Sleep on it for a night. Better yet, sleep on it for three nights, then heed your Higher Self’s message: “Leave it to me for now.”

Your Healer Guides surround you and lovingly embrace your momentarily injured spirit. They want you to recognize that all attacks, betrayals, or injuries you’ve suffered (whether they were through the unconscious behavior of others or through your own misunderstanding or poor choices) have left you psychically wounded and fragile. It’s no wonder your guard is up! It’s difficult to trust even yourself at this time, but you must. And the only way to do so is to stop blaming yourself or others for what has occurred, and forgive all the way around. Learn from your experiences, and strengthen your boundaries and judgment.

All human beings make grave, and sometimes terrible, mistakes. It’s not your fault that you feel violated; it’s a lesson to learn from. Nor is it weak to acknowledge that you’ve been hurt. Denial may serve you in the midst of crisis, but it only handicaps you if you stay mired in it. Admit to your injuries and disappointments, and allow the nurturing forces of your Healer Guides to step in now. They’re able to soothe your soul and reweave your aura with their loving light and nurturing forces. Trust their influence by dropping your defenses and acknowledging your wounds. They urge you to seek support from capable, caring professionals who can help you learn from these disturbing experiences and show you how to prevent them from occurring again. Their message: “The danger has passed; you are safe. It is time now to heal and learn from your experience.”
