What will it take to set your creativity free?
A conversation about gratitude, focus and courage towards yourself and others
This message is part of a FREE Private Podcast feed, where you receive weekly messages from our Spiritual Guides to help you enter your week energetically prepared — not overwhelmed — noticing how the messages show up in your own life and activating your intuition to guide you through your days. If you’re not subscribed yet, come join us. I look forward to welcoming you to the ALMA VIA Podcast!
Hello, hello!
How have you been? How has last week treated you?
As I write this message, I can’t help but wonder about you.
Yes, you.
Who is this person on the other side, who I cannot look straight in the eyes, but that somehow I feel so deeply connected to?
Our paths somehow lead us here. In this exact moment that I’m writing, you’re taking on your life, doing all the things you need to do. You may be happy, worried, tired, anxious, excited - there’s a multitude of possibilities. I don’t know exactly what’s happening in your life, day to day, but I do imagine how you will feel when you connect to the messages I share on the ALMA VIA Podcast.
I keep thinking and imagining how everything around you will reflect the energy present for the week. How will it manifest for you? In your own world? I love when I hear from other people what they’re experiencing and how in alignment it always is with the messages.
I also try to picture how these messages will help you, support you and guide you through the hardship and enjoyments of life. I put into every single one of them my own heart and Soul, only hoping that they will serve you the same way they have been serving me: strengthening my self-awareness and in how I witness daily confirmations of guidance and support from my Spiritual Guides. Even when things feel lost, or I’m at my lowest point, there’s always something to support me and connect me to a sense of Hope and purpose.
When I record the Podcast, I try to imagine as if I’m right in front of you, whispering these words to you, almost as a chant, helping you centre, find peace within and be present to listen. Feeling every word entering your being.
I know it may sound quite presumptuous of me, but I really believe these messages carry a healing energy, and that my mission is to bring it to those who need it. I don’t exactly know who will. All I know, in my heart, is that in the right time their paths will cross, in one way or another.
I also think of you every time I write a note here, on Substack, as if I’m sending a DM to your personal phone. Reminding you to continue focusing on what will help you take the next step, look beyond what you see, gain more clarity, and feel more present.
So today, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to you!
Thank you for being here. For supporting me in this journey. For trusting me and being patient with my own creative process.
Life showed me that every time I felt pressured by the system to perform my creativity drains. I don’t create by demand, I create when I feel the idea. And I learn as I do, and so I believe everything has its own time to flourish. Just like in nature, you can’t force a flower to grow. You need to wait until it’s the right time and season for it to bloom.
That’s how I look at ALMA VIA Healing.
There’s so much I want to share with you, so much I want to offer. The seed has been planted, and it’s slowly growing, because I’m also growing alongside it. I appreciate your presence and patience.
To initiate this project wasn’t a decision that came easy to me. I struggled, fought my own demons, faced my own fears, not from impostor syndrome, but from being afraid to use my voice. For speaking out loud. For having something to say, regardless of what others may think of it.
Once, in my life, someone took away my power to speak for myself, took away my voice. I grew up shying away from expressing my true self. That hurt me in ways I can’t begin to express. But I’m finding my path back to who I am, through deep work and learning. And my mission is to help others do the same.
My methods aren’t conventional, because I don’t think life really is. But this time I’m trusting my gut, I’m listening to my Soul, I’m expressing my own voice! Literally! :)
This is not me being defiant. This is me learning to have the courage to be simply me. It took me a long time to be here.
So thank you for holding the space for it to happen. Thank you for being part of it.
I don’t know if you have given the Podcast a chance yet. If you haven’t, today is a good day to start. Honestly.
Contrary to what some may think, these messages don’t carry a religious tone, or are simply a meditation. It’s not even close to that. I don’t preach any belief or philosophy. This is a spiritual work, but the parameters of it go way beyond religion.
I use oracle cards as a bridge, and when working on a message I do connect to what my intuition is bringing forth, but I’m also working on a subconscious level, because in the end, what we are really doing through these messages is accessing the parts of your mind that will help you reconnect with what needs to be brought to the light so you can continue or be on your own path.
You can look at this as decoding an emotional programming to rewire your mind in a way that will support you in serving your purpose - even if you’re not clear about what it is. This is the exact work you’ll be doing, consciously or not: understanding what life is trying to show you to make sure you honour what you committed to do (spiritually speaking).
I’m not simply recording pretty messages, to inspire and connect you with your spirituality. Well, that too.
I’m helping your subconscious send a direct message to your upper levels of consciousness, to help truly connect with your body, mind and soul, while being present enough to read between the lines - or the signs - of what your reality is showing you, so you can understand and feel your own Truth. Synchronicity is not random and it doesn't happen by chance.
As cute or beautiful as it all may sound, this is real work. And it’s not necessarily easy.
Today’s Episode - Let your creativity run free - talks about courage, about letting your creativity run free, by allowing the one idea, the one dream, you’ve been longing to make space for to flourish, but for some reason didn’t feel like it was the right moment for it.
Now it is. And it will require focus!
Today is about taking the initial step toward making space for your subconscious to show you, or remind you, of what has been hidden, put aside, even forgotten, to come to the light so you can start connecting to the activation phase of what it will possibly become - honouring it, taking a risk, thinking positively, embracing the unknown, for the pure realization of how working on this idea makes you feel!
Be it a good idea or not, whether it will indeed work or not, now is not the time to worry about this particularities or the outcome, nor it is time to attend to different projects all at once. Focus is the one thing you need right now, taking one step at a time, trusting it will all unfold. The rest can wait its own turn.
Under the light of the Full Moon in Sagittarius, today there are two beautiful stories inside this Episode. One I was inspired to write while receiving this message, the other read directly from the book BIG MAGIC by Elizabeth Gilbert. Both came for me to help you step into your courage (me too! I’m all in. I tell you more about it at the end) and focus on this one thing that will make you feel present and energized.
This is a special Episode. I wholeheartedly hope you enjoy it, and that it is in any, or many, ways helpful to you.
I invite you to give this message a chance. Listen to it once, or twice. Through different moments throughout the week. See what comes to you each time you listen.
Don’t ignore any thoughts, ideas, symbols, or memories that come to you during or after you dive into it. Remember, our subconscious communicates better metaphorically. You don’t necessarily need to remember a past event. And even the memories don’t always come all at once. It shows you piece by piece, so you can have time to process and reflect on them.
After you listen to the message, observe what you’re experiencing in your life in that very moment. How does this message, or the energy present, reflect your reality, experiences and emotions? What do they say about you and how do they manifest? In what shape, form, circumstance, or area of your life?
Notice your feelings around your reflections too. Are you open to what’s been presented to you, or resistant? Do they make you shy away, feel angry or open? Why? What does it say about what this moment is trying to help you learn?
Believe me, these messages aren’t just a nice meditation to listen to. These are real callings, helping you keep on your life’s path and transcend! That’s all we’re here to do, on this planet, in this lifetime: evolve!!!
If there’s something you would like to reflect more on, or expand your knowledge, inspired by what the messages bring, or about what I write, let me know. This relationship works best both ways. :0)
Or if you feel like navigating your self-discovery path, accessing what your subconscious holds inside, and understand why you can’t seem to pass a certain phase, or why you keep getting stuck in a loop, and/or heal from emotional conditionings, let’s talk!
I’ll continue to share the cards for the week on the CHAT, alongside my own perceptions and experiences with the energy present. If I may ask, come say Hi! It would help me so much to hear how you’re experiencing everything too.
It makes a tremendous difference when we share. Sharing is therapeutic. We expand our views, our perceptions. We feel supported. We learn. We inspire. We help!
I hope to hear from you either in the CHAT or in the notes.
In any way, I kindly thank you for being part of the ALMA VIA Community.
Before you go… I wanted to share two important things with you:
The first is that I’m working on another project that I hope to be able to share with you soon. I’m doing my very best to find more ways to support you. This is to help you gain more clarity about some challenges you’re facing, and see what is the message that comes to you around this situation to support you in moving from confusion to awareness, and/or taking a first step toward it.
Keep an eye in the newsletter or in the ALMA VIA Healing page!
The second one I would like to share with you is the work of a beautiful Soul whose path crossed mine, just like mine and yours.
Her work is as inspiring as it is meaningful. She writes from her heart, guiding us through the streets of Paris in a sounding pilgrimage.
Through the path of Mary Magdalene she goes, hearing her calling, bringing to life her own dreams, connecting to what her heart calls her to do, while serving and guiding those seeking to connect deeper with themselves, walking with the teachings of Our Lady, honouring beauty around and inside her own being.
If you’d like to bring more inspiration to your own spiritual walk, while being inspired by the ephemeral architectural beauty of France, follow Patricia Russo’s work through her Sacred Paris.
Her writing too is another gift - true poems to the Soul.
And if you haven’t subscribed to ALMA VIA Healing as yet, there’s always a chance too. Here is one!
Thank you for your support, for listening, for walking alongside me in this evolutionary journey.
I wish you a blessed and inspiring week!
Be well, dear one.
Love,
Livia
