Indian Paintbrush

Positive Qualities: Lively, energetic creativity, exuberant artistic activity

Patterns of Imbalance: Low vitality and exhaustion, difficulty rousing physical forces to sustain the intensity of creative work; inability to bring creative forces into physical expression

Definition: When the soul is engaged in highly creative work, it must integrate itself with its physical vehicle in the right way. If the body does not stay grounded and energized during creative work, it will suffer from low vitality, exhaustion and other forms of physical illness. Many souls do not fulfill their true artistic and creative potential because they are unable to harness spiritual energy in the right way. This phenomenon is similar to an electrical current of energy which needs to be properly polarized and grounded. Indian Paintbrush is very specific for this level of imbalance. It shows the soul how to use the will or lower metabolic forces to polarize spiritual energy, so that the physical body reflects a healthy alignment between Earth and Heaven. Indian Paintbrush also helps artists with the qualitative expression of their art, especially if such work lacks substance or connection with the physical world and natural processes. All in all, this essence helps the soul to learn how to use creative potential in a manner which is richly resonant with the physical world.
