InnerSelf Daily Inspiration - August 20, 2026

InnerSelf Daily Inspiration August 20, 2026 The Subconscious Mind Is Your Creative Co-Conspirator By Evelyn C. Rysdyk “Your creative energy was connected to the ultimate creative energy of the cosmos and so was actually unlimited. You and I and everything we know were born from it and meant to express its creative energy.” — Evelyn C. Rysdyk You can program your subconscious before you go to sleep, asking it to provide creative solutions through dreams. The subconscious can be creative when you are sleeping. The prolific inventor Thomas Edison never even napped without programming his sleep time. He is famously quoted as saying, “Never go to sleep without a request to your subconscious.” Your brain naturally flows through a series of brain states when falling asleep, from active beta, to relaxed alpha, and into theta before entering into the delta sleep wave. Once asleep, your subconscious mind is able to solve problems and be creative, especially when you are deeply in the delta wave state. It can accomplish this because the linear mind is completely off-line during that period. In this way, your subconscious becomes what professor and neurobiologist Stuart Thompson describes as “your tireless co-conspirator.” It is also why I suggest clearing it of unbeneficial beliefs: that old clutter just takes up space that you want for your creative energy to flow. Read the Full Article Recommended Reading Shamanic Creativity: Free the Imagination with Rituals, Energy Work, and Spirit Journeying by Evelyn C. Rysdyk In this step-by-step practical guide to enhancing creative energy, Evelyn Rysdyk explains how creativity—from the shamanic perspective—is a life-giving force that frees the imagination, supports innovation, and awakens unique ways of thinking and feeling that can transform your life. She explores how to release creativity-blocking patterns, reprogram the subconscious, engage the “right brain,” boost imagination, overcome anxiety and destructive emotions, and become much more creative in daily life. Examining creative energy as a natural phenomenon similar to the tides, the author provides suggestions for when your creative energy is at a low tide as well as shamanic techniques for overcoming dysfunctional subconscious perceptions.  For more info and/or to order this book, click here.
