Let’s Talk About It with Kindred Pen

Healing Through Creativity

People really underestimate what creativity can do for the mind, body, and soul. They think creativity is just a hobby or something you do when you’re bored, but honestly, it can be one of the most healing things a person can experience. I am saying this because of my own experiences. Creating gives emotions somewhere to do. A lot of us carry stress, anger, sadness, grief, and emotional heaviness around like an overstuffed backpack we forgot we put down three years ago. We bottle things up, try to “stay strong,” keep moving forward, and then wonder why we feel mentally exhausted and spiritually disconnected. The energy has to go somewhere. This is where creativity steps in like,, “Alright, hand it over.” Painting, drawing, writing, music, sewing, crafting, photography, decorating, or singing in the kitchen like you are on a world tour, it all counts. Creativity allows emotions to move instead of staying trapped inside the body. Sometimes anger turns into art, Sometimes grief turns into poetry. Sometimes anxiety turns into chaotic little doodles all over a notebook. Honestly, that is healthier than throwing a chair across the room. Creativity calms the mind in ways people don’t always realize. When you create, your brain quiets down for a minute. The overthinking slows. The stress softens. You stop focusing on every problem, every responsibility, every “what if,” and we all know we ask that a lot, you become present. Even if it is for a little while. That is HEALING! It’s almost like the soul finally gets a chance to breathe. The beautiful thing is creativity does not care if you are “good” at it. Your spirit doesn’t sit there judging your brush strokes like a strict art teacher from 1997. Creativity is about expression, not being perfect. Some of the most beautiful art is chaotic and makes no sense. That is healing using art from our messy emotions. Not all healing looks peaceful and graceful. Sometimes healing looks like aggressively scribbling in a journal while eating snacks and listening to emotional dramatic music. Sometimes it looks like painting something in the dark. Sometimes it looks unfinished. (I have a few of those in my closet collecting dust.) It's raw, emotional, and honest. This still counts. Creativity can also strengthen spiritual connection. When people create, they often slip into a flow state where intuitions become louder. Certain colors call to them. Random ideas appear out of nowhere. Emotions rise up unexpectedly. Messages come through. This is not a coincidence. The mind becomes quieter during creativity, which makes it easier to hear intuition, spiritual guidance, and even messages from spirit guides or ancestors. Creativity becomes a form of meditation. Creation is sacred. The reason art, music, storytelling, symbols, dance, and handmade creations have existed in spiritual practices for centuries. Humans were never meant to heal by logic alone. We heal through expression. Through feeling, through connection. Creativity reminds us that we are still alive underneath all the stress and survival mode. It reconnects us to joy, imagination, emotion, and to ourselves. The most powerful thing creativity does is it takes pain, heaviness, anger, confusion, and emotion that felt impossible to carry and transforms it into something meaningful. That is healing.

Comment below and tell us how you have used creativity to heal.

Hello everyone, Crystal here from Illuminated Fate! Today we are going to talk about Lepidolite!

Lepidolite, is often referred to as the "Peace Stone" or "Grandmother Stone," is known for its ability to bring peace, tranquility and balance, especially during times of transition and change.

This crystal has been known for its power to calm anxiety, relieve depression, help with numbing sciatica and neuralgia. It is also said to reduce problems associated with Alzheimer’s. Lepidolite can also help the body and mind deal with changes brought on by menstrual, hormonal cycles and menopause. It can also promote emotional healing by balancing the mind and spirit, primarily through its lithium content. Lithium was one of the earliest treatments for anxiety and bipolar disorders, as such it is soothing on both physical and metaphysical plains to hold or rub a lepidolite stone!

Lepidolite is believed to protect from external influences, absorb electromagnetic pollution, and by deflecting negative energies.

People can utilize lepidolite in many different ways, such as wearing it as jewelry, carried as a pocket stone or placing the stone in strategic locations such as on a bedside, or desk top. This placement will help to access the calming energy, reduce mood swings, and promote a more restful sleep.

It is recommended to cleanse lepidolite regularly by placing it in the moonlight, smudging with sage, or using other crystals like selenite, and to avoid exposing it to water and sunlight to preserve its vibrant lilac hue. Water or sunlight may dull or fade the color.

Lepidolite is a Phyllosilicate mineral from the mica group. It was first called Lilalite because of its lavender coloring. It comes in shades of lilac and pink and even purple-grey. It is often found in scaly smaller aggregates and is known for its high levels of lithium.

It measures in on the Mohs hardness scale at a low 2.5-3.5.

Mined in Brazil, Russia, California, Canada, Madagascar, and Afghanistan, First discovered in the 19th century by Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff, this stone was first named Lilalite after its soft radiant coloring but later was retitled as Lepidolite from the Greek Lepidos. Lepidos in Greek translates to scale, a name that pays homage to the dragon-like texture of this unique fantasy feeling stone.

“As above, so below.” This is a saying you have probably seen on all manner of cups, blankets, coaster sets, t-shirts, and notebooks you would find in spiritual themed gift shops and online stores. The saying itself has become a shorthand to signal that one is hip to witchcraft and neo pagan belief structures. I have noticed in my perusal of online forums and interactions that the meaning behind this phrase, or the attributions towards a possible source of where it comes from is often lost to those who are just beginning their journeys into occult and esoteric forms of philosophical thought. What’s more, I have also found that any explanations of the above information that is often given in those online spaces have often fallen within the range of a rewording, or a word salad served up to signify an answer but will often fail to explain much of anything to a newcomer in any substantial way. Both of the aforementioned responses meant to answer the question are kind of understandable. Esoteric philosophies can get quite heady and confusing. In some ways this is not necessarily a bug, but a feature of the searching that is required to get to a root of understanding of a highly unconventional way of thought in our empirical and evidence based way of seeing the world today. My intention behind today’s post is to offer a comprehensive explanation of this saying and maybe reveal some of the
inconsistencies one can potentially run into when trying to research its origin along the way.

One thing to get out of the way at the top is to note that the saying, “as above, so below,” alone is an incomplete recitation. The full phrase is, “As above, so below. As below, so above.” One may look at this saying in its entirety and feel a sense of redundancy, but this wording is used to place an emphasis on a greater principle that is being imparted to those who read it. The phrase embodies the second principle of Hermetic Philosophy. A school of thought that can date back to sources written during the Italian Renaissance, but is often presented as if it can trace back further in time to ancient Egypt. Though, such claims have been hotly debated over by scholars of antiquity.

Any Hermetic writings you encounter in the wild are going to attribute the saying to a teacher named Hermes Trismagistus (Hermes thrice great). It is said that Hermes Trismagistus is the Hermes you've read about in Greek Myth, and also Thoth from the Egyptian collective of deities. It is unclear as to whether Trismagistus is a key historical figure whose knowledge has been passed down throughout the centuries, or as a pseudonymous banner given to a collection of teachings as we find with Lao Tzu and the Tao Te Ching. The reality of Trismagistus’ existence is of little importance when compared to the massive amount of influence Hermetic writings have had on the landscape of western spiritualism and practices of occult magicks.

With all of that out of the way, let's circle back to this axiom and its meaning. “As above, so below. As below, so above,” represents the interconnection between forces small and great, and the direct influence that each has over the other. Another way of putting it would be the interconnection and interdependence between the microcosm and the macrocosm. It is the observation that the natural laws that govern our existence on earth reflect within the larger universe as a whole. This observation is believed to also reflect that which is in the metaphysical or spiritual planes of existence in relation to our own existence within the physical plane.
The observation of an interrelation between our world to the greater universe is not really out of line when we take the laws of physics into account. The Hermeticists were concerned with matters beyond the physical plane and their relation to human beings. As such, this second principle of correspondence is better understood when looking at the first Hermetic Principle of Mentalism and its associated saying, “THE ALL IS MIND; The Universe is Mental.” Here we are given a model of the universe where everything that we can observe is a part of the mental creation of THE ALL. As such, it is reasoned within this framework that our mental and psychic faculties are a reflection of the mental creation of THE ALL. Here we can find a through line that adds another layer to our understanding of, “As above, so below. As below, so above,” because if we our to presuppose that our universe is one of mind, our mental energy would reflect outwards into the natural governance of the universe as a whole. Hence why we sometimes find texts which combine the two principals which reads as “As above, So below. As below, so above. As within, so without. As without, so within.”
What has been written in this post is a very surface level understanding of this saying and its origin. Hermeticism is a rabbit hole of information, but a fascinating avenue of thought to go down. One which I have found to be a life changing one. The Kybalion is a good introductory text to gain a base level understanding of the philosophical foundations of Hermeticism. There will be a link in the comments with a copy of this manuscript so that you may delve a little deeper into the subject.

May your journeys remain insightful, enlightening, and filled with truth,
