IACCW Member Event: Seven Practices to Find Your Authentic Voice

Julia McCutchen interviews Andrea Beaulieu eeandrea_03351

Thursday 3rd June at
16:00 BST / 11:00 EST

We all have it – that still, small voice that urges us gently, quietly, but ever so confidently, in the direction of our highest good. It is our authentic voice – the one we were born knowing. Then, through experience and the conditioning of the mind, we often lose our conscious connection to it, except perhaps during times of danger, or when we have surrendered to our authentic self so deeply and joyfully that we hear it and follow it.

That same voice is the voice of our highest creativity. It is the voice that gives us the perfect idea, solution or direction. It gives us the perfect words and actions to express our uniqueness. It is the voice that shows up when we face the blank page, if we listen for it and to it. It is our authentic voice.

Emerged Creative Vision – Details Ready to Share

IACCW logoI hope that 2010 has got off to a great start for you. The full/blue moon on New Year’s Eve seems to have brought in a new wave of energy which I sense is going to make a major impact as we head into the new decade – exciting!

At last I am ready to share the details of my ‘emerging vision’ project. It feels like a perfect moment to do so and I can barely find the words to express how significant this feels and how passionate I am about it.

The project has arisen out of the fact that I find myself to be on a mission which I have chosen to accept fully.

My mission is to open the way for people to discover their authentic voice – on the page and in the world.

There are 3 main reasons why I am so motivated about this …

Why is Authenticity Important for Writers?

Pure_flowerAuthenticity has become something of a ‘buzz’ word in recent years and appears in connection with many different aspects of our lives.

But what does it really mean to be authentic and why is it something worth paying attention to?

The standard definition is ‘real’ and this is often presented alongside synonyms such as ‘credible’, ‘genuine’, ‘original’ and ‘true’.

These words represent a good starting point but don’t go quite far enough to explain the true power of authenticity.

A deeper level of meaning lies in understanding that authenticity is present when the inner you (the real you) is connected with the outer you (the interface you have with the world). When inner truth and outer expression are in alignment, authenticity empowers all that you think, say and do … and write!

New Beginnings

Starting_LineToday is a new beginning.

It is true that every day presents the opportunity for a new beginning of some kind.

Yet there are particular sets of circumstances when making a fresh start is especially relevant.

The new beginning for me on this first day of September relates to the launch of my blog as a new way to continue supporting writers and to share information and inspiration on topics I have a real passion for.

These include all aspects of creativity, writing, publishing, taking your message out to the marketplace, and perhaps most importantly of all, opening the way for you to find your true voice – on the page and in the world.

I have also recently been on a deeply transformative creative retreat and now it is time to reconnect fully with people and projects.

The new beginning here is the new level I have reached within myself as a result of taking some ‘time out’. 

This has led to me having a whole new perspective on the next steps I have planned, including a major new project which I am about to start working on.

So what new beginning can you engage with right now?

Perhaps you could take this opportunity to renew your commitment to your writing and to yourself as a writer?

Or what about finally making a start on a piece of writing or promotional activity which you may have been thinking about for a while?

At the very least, with the right intention, you could choose to see this first day of September as an opportunity to shift your creative expression on to the next level – whatever that means for you.

I’d love to hear about your new beginnings and how the energy of a fresh start has had an impact on your journey with writing.

So I invite you to reply by adding a comment below and let the conversation begin!
