Have you ever thought about how different life would be if we were taught to settle all our disagreements through a form of creative expression that captivated and inspired instead of hurting or destroying? What if we learned from a very early age that through the arts, we could fully express ourselves and create peace? What if we also knew that without the ability to fully express our thoughts, perceptions and beliefs that we could feel diminished or disempowered?
The modality of expression is not important, nor does it require professional training or expert skill. It only requires the desire to express, share or release a feeling lodged deep within our heart.
Here are several examples:
Several years ago, Nancy met a woman who shared her parents’ secret for maintaining family harmony. The house rule was: If you were mad, angry or upset with anyone you had to “sing” your words —they couldn’t be spoken. This little rule, she said, could quickly turn a possible negative experience into something quite hysterical. The laughter helped release the tension and because the experience was so ridiculousness it was easy to see the conflict in a different light.
She also shared that she had heard about “Turf Dancing” was being promoted as a form of dispute resolution within some communities. This practice incorporated all styles of movement, from break dancing to ballet. This new art form works because it allows individuals to fully express themselves in a manner that is non-threatening to others. This, just like the singing your anger, releases tension, clears the mind and promotes clear choice instead of the use of fists and guns.
Now it is also important to see that the I Create What I Believe Program also has the capacity to help individuals, both young and old, step out of previous stuck responses and make subtle changes that can ultimately transform their whole life.
When we are allowed to fully express ourselves, harmony is restored within our biology. This makes us feel happy and consequently we are kinder and more compassionate people. On the other hand, perpetual judging, blaming, and viewing the world from the “them vs. me” perspective breeds disharmony and war.

In a recent interview Dr. Bruce Lipton said, “…Freedom is the ability to create without the limitation of generational programming. The I Create What I Believe! (ICWIB!) Program is a gateway and a pathway into a new and better future because it allows children and (adults) to fully express themselves and to not be limited by the beliefs that have been passed down from generation to generation. This program also frees up children’s and (adults’) minds and allows their creative nature to create a better world for all of us, which is what we need right now!”
