Bibliotherapy: BIG MAGIC: Creative Living Without Fear

I fell in love with Elizabeth Gilbert’s, Eat Pray Love like so many other folks. So much so, it inspired me to visit India for three months and travel several weeks in Africa.

Her recent top seller, BIG MAGIC: CREATIVE LIVING WITHOUT FEAR is an exploration into what is creativity and where do we find inspiration? She examines courage, enchantment, permission, persistence, trust, and divinity as aspects of living a creative life.

What most resonated with me was the chapter on COURAGE. Do you have the courage to move beyond fear and create a meaningful life? How does one allow fear and creativity to co-exist? Is creativity gifted from the divine? Creativity can help us navigate life and overcome our struggles.

“Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you? The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them. The hunt to uncover those jewels- that’s creative living. The courage to go on that hunt in the first place- that’s what separates a mundane existence from a more enchanted one. The often surprising results of that hunt- that’s what I call Big Magic.”

Coriander Living Collective’s mission is “encouraging life satisfaction through connection to self, others, and the world by embracing one’s humanity and lifestyle with insight, intention, and action.” I love the idea of hunting to uncover the hidden jewels within.
