Creative Awakening Series (Sahasrara): Integrating the Cosmos into Artistry

Welcome to the eighth and final segment of the Creative Awakening: Integrating Art & Spirituality series.

Check out my blog for the first seven posts writing about teaching at the Creative Arts Center.

If we are indeed a child of the Cosmos and intricately connected to everything that is through Unity, then what are we meant to create? In our final discussion, we brought together all our conversations from the previous seven weeks to answer this question as well as explore the technological, human consciousness, and evolutionary milestones that compel us to step into the responsibility... to create.

Focus Point: The Intersection of the Cosmos, Spirituality, and Human Creativity

• Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): The crown chakra is responsible for connecting individuals to their spirituality, higher consciousness, and a sense of universal unity
• Focus: Connection to divine, purpose, transcendence
• Color: Violet
• Location: At the Top of the Head
• Areas of Life Explored: Technology, Creative Consciousness, Human Evolution

Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) Affirmations

• I am.
  
• I am divine.
• I am aware of my infinite nature.
• I trust my inner knowing.
• I am connected to my spirit.
• I coexist peacefully with everyone.
• I trust in the divine plan.
• I am one with all of life.

The Discussion 

The energy of the Crown Chakra is a beautiful portal through which to connect to the Universe / Consciousness as a way to experience ourselves. Each class, we'd done a deep dive into each chakra, its representation, its blockage, and how it impacted art. Now we are at the finale.

We've toggled between aspects of our lives and our selves (physical, spiritual, heart) and have often looked at these concepts from a view of balance.

Yin and yang, feminine and masculine energies, right and left brain.

Before we delved into the history of the Cosmos and our place in it, I extracted facts we'd previously discussed. Like that we are 1 in 8 billion (humans). That we are 14 billion years in the making (age of the Big Bang). That the left brain represents the masculine and order, and the right brain represents the feminine and chaos. All of which need to coexist, according to the laws of Nature.

As you can see, the reason for using the chakras to explore these topics is brilliant. When we are connected through our ancestors, our human and emotional experiences, honor our inherited gifts, honor our love and connection, honor our voice and expression, honor our dreams and intuition, honor the Universe. 

Further, it is through the portal that is the heart that we open ourselves up to embody our infinity.

As a final send off, we used AI to help us generate an intersectional timeline of the concepts we'd discussed. I wanted to both expose my students to the generative power of AI in real time, but also to see a condensed view of the last 100+ years so she could understand how recent our knowledge of the Cosmos just began.

Note, my ChatGPT is trained on Queen Mindset Leadership 👑 and knows my interests in intersectional subjects like quantum + astro physics, psychology, feminine and masculine energies, the chakras, and an anthropological understanding of what leads human to create bias, division, and war.

ChatGPT: Here’s a simplified timeline of major scientific, technological, and philosophical discoveries in the last 100+ years that shape our understanding of the cosmos, humanity, and consciousness.

🌌 1900s–2020s: A Century of Discovery & Awakening

🔮 What This Means for Creative Awakening & Leadership

This timeline is proof that:
1️⃣ Our understanding of reality is constantly evolving. Our understanding of the way that our bodies, the Earth, and the cosmos work is still so new! We are waking up to what we see as a divided world, but if everything in the Universe is intentional and precise, perhaps this is exactly why need to create: to unite.
2️⃣ Science, spirituality, and technology are converging. AI, somatics, and astrophysics are guiding new ways of thinking about humanity’s purpose. Our ability to understand ourselves and our place is electric.
3️⃣ Creativity is the key to integrating these breakthroughs. The way that we create change in the world, at a quantum level, is by changing ourselves. When we channel the Universe, we expand and live in the ultimate purpose of it all: oneness.

Reflections:

• What scientific breakthrough resonates most with your own awakening?
• How does this timeline inspire your creative journey?
• What old beliefs need to be rewritten, just as science rewrote our understanding of the world?
• How can you use your knowledge of the body, mind, and universe to lead more powerfully?

 In our very first class, I asked the class to identify what they wanted to create. As we've explored what keeps people from being connected to themselves and their right to create, we've uncovered individual, familial, societal, cultural, systemic, and inherent reasons for why we value safety over the unknown.

The creation of art is inherently unknowable. We channel from a place beyond us onto a medium that we can see, touch, taste, feel, or hear, and we choose either to share that with others or not.

For this last discussion, I highlighted why both creation and sharing of the creation is an inherent part of our being. This is what we've determined about the intersection of art and spirituality.

What would a Unity-focused Universe say about why you must be creative now? Here are our responses:

• expression
• awareness
• cosmic connection
• use it or lose it
• to shift the status quo
• to share
• to break barriers
• to disrupt
• love
• connection
• communication
• emotions
• because YOLO (you only live once)
• beauty
• freedom
• presence
• belonging 

Reflection: What else compels you to create art? When you redefine art as including all aspects of your life (see previous blogs for a further review), what aspects of yourself, your identity, and your life must you let go to make more space for art? What would an everyday artistic life look like?

Artistic Growth Challenge

For our final segment, I challenged my students to integrate the experiences we'd explored so far. Now knowing that they are part of a greater timeline directly connected to the cosmos, I invited them to build their own timeline to understanding why they had the privilege and responsibility to... create. 

Here are some book suggestions to further your studies of the cosmos, enlightenment, and our infinity: 

What's Next?

Thank you for joining me on this series through Creative Awakening using the chakras. It was a true joy to facilitate this for the first time, and an even more fantastic experience to be able to blog through it. I learned so much about facilitating Queen Mindset Leadership 👑, further deepening my understanding of how this paradigm helps leaders tap into their intuitive creativity to reshape the future with compassion and unity.

You can find me teaching this series again at the Creative Arts Center from March until May 2025, after which I'll take a break for the summer — registration is open today!

My approach for the next series will shift to include the needs of my students, but I will still be teaching Queen Mindset Leadership 👑 from different vantage points. 

To follow along, subscribe to my newsletter below and bookmark my blog as a favorite.

 Thank you for reading!

Much love – Dra. García out!

You are a Creator. You are the Cosmos in motion. What will you awaken next?
