Inspiration Center (receptive): Using Questions to Expand Creative Ability
Resiliency Keys
Through my Inspiration Center, I’ll experience and explore one of the four resiliency keys that build on the two foundational keys: self-trust. Decisiveness is also a key theme in Inspiration Gates.
About the Inspiration Center
The Inspiration Center is the Center for ideas and (of course) inspiration. This Center is where I receive insights, sparks of curiosity, epiphanies, ideas, and also questions that inspire contemplations.
This Center is associated with the Crown Chakra in the Hindu Chakra system, representing the connection between my higher self and my human self. Often the inspirations I experience here create awe and arrive in an instant epiphany of insight. Once I get inspired, I often feel pressure to try to turn my inspiration into reality.
The higher purpose of the Inspiration Center is to use inspiration to contemplate and imagine. My human mind likes to try to turn the questions that arise into a perceived need to find answers, but the purpose of Inspiration isn’t finding answers; it’s to maintain a questioning frame of mind that removes limits from my imagination. My contemplations and inspirations are not designed to be acted upon, but to be used to keep me in an inspired state, fostering a sense of discovery and wonder that motivates me to explore my outer reality with curiosity and presence.
My Receptive Inspiration Center
The Inspiration Center is one of two Centers that can create pressure in my life when they’re receptive. Almost 90% of people have a receptive Inspiration Center. Having a receptive Inspiration Center can put me under mental pressure to try to “figure out” how to turn the inspirations I’m picking up and amplifying into reality.
The real purpose of the Inspiration Center is not to “figure things out”, but rather to be inspired and to use inspiration as a way to stir up excitement and anticipation. The excitement that my dreams stir up motivate me to start seeking ways to fulfill those dreams in the world around me.
All Types have waiting as an essential component to creating what’s desired in life. The dreams of my receptive Inspiration Center inspire me to start looking in my outer world for the next step to making my ideas a reality.
CHALLENGE: The challenge of the receptive Inspiration Center is to manage my inspiration carefully. I can be megainspired with a receptive Inspiration Center which can create a lot of mental pressure to try to figure out how to make all of my inspirations come true.
Just because I have an idea doesn’t mean I have to make it something I work to create. The receptive Inspiration Center needs to dream and be inspired. Being inspired is an energy that requires tending to. With a receptive Inspiration Center, my job is to stay inspired, enjoy and explore inspiration, and to trust that if an inspiration is mine to fulfill, the next right step to its fulfillment will show up in my world correctly according to my Strategy. Bottom line? I don’t have to figure things out!

Contemplations:
-
- Have I experienced pain, dis-ease, or dysfunction associated with my head, eyes, or pituitary gland? What about headaches, head injuries, migraines, or mental health concerns? If so, what could my body be trying to tell me? What story about myself and/or my life could my body be holding?
(I can revisit this question in the future if new health/body issues develop.) - Am I afraid of the unknown?
- Do I trust the Universe to reveal the next right step? Do I trust myself to recognize what’s revealed to me?
- Am I under pressure to figure things out?
- Have I experienced pain, dis-ease, or dysfunction associated with my head, eyes, or pituitary gland? What about headaches, head injuries, migraines, or mental health concerns? If so, what could my body be trying to tell me? What story about myself and/or my life could my body be holding?
If I want more insight, I can always request a message from the universe.
