In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with CJ, a resilient soul who has journeyed through the highs and lows of life to find his true calling. Nearly fifty years ago, a traumatizing experience with a Carnegie Mellon art teacher led CJ to abandon his artistic talents. Simultaneously, coming to terms with his sexuality in his late teens resulted in him walking away from the Catholic Church and his faith. This double blow of rejection from both his artistic and spiritual worlds set CJ on a long path of healing and self-discovery. Years later, through the power of creativity, CJ found his way back to art and a belief in a Greater Power. His book, "The Spiritual Artist," serves as a testament to this journey, reminding readers to reconnect with Spirit through creative practice. In our conversation, CJ shares how creating art allows him to align fully with Spirit, discovering new facets of his unique Creative DNA. Drawing from his book, he delves into the elusive "zone" or "flow" state that many artists attribute to a Higher Power or Divine Guidance, and how you can tap into this state at will. Miller, an accomplished artist, speaker, and educator, offers innovative ideas and personal wisdom in each chapter, awakening your imagination and unlocking your potential. Whether you're raising children, starting a business, or working in the art studio, his motivational guidance and exercises promise personal development and spiritual growth.
