Close your eyes and feel your body resting against the back of your chair.
Your feet firmly on the ground,
Your hands gently resting in your lap.
Take a few deep grounding breaths.
Feel the air fill your lungs and gently exhale.
Take another breath and feel the fresh oxygen bringing life to every cell in your body.
As you exhale,
Let go of everything you do not need to hold on to anymore.
Take a couple more deep grounding breaths.
Settle into your body.
Feel the swirl of ideas and information that you've been gathering over the past few weeks.
Picture the storm spinning around you,
Everything you've learnt about character,
Setting,
Structure,
Plot and point of view.
In the centre of this world wind you are standing completely still,
Completely centred.
As you take a few deep breaths,
You radiate,
Utter,
Calm and as you do the storm of ideas begins to settle like a light drizzle and it falls onto your skin and it sinks into your body.
Feel the cool tickle of these ideas as you absorb them completely.
Now everything around you is calm and peaceful.
Everything you have learnt has been integrated into the fibre of your being.
Ahead of you,
You see a circle of light where the trees part and as you walk towards it,
You understand that you need to bring the energy that you need to create your book into this circle.
Do you want the energy of flow,
Of emotion,
Of water?
Do you want the fire energy of passion,
Stimulation and excitement?
Do you want stones and rocks for the earthy groundedness of reality?
Now you begin to gather your elements of choice,
Whether it's mud,
Earth,
Stones or water or fire or feathers or leaves.
Now build your circle of energy and once you've completed it,
See yourself stepping into the centre of this powerful circle that embodies your writing and the energy it will bring into the world.
Allow yourself to be surrounded by it.
See how that energy flows out of you in the words that you write.
You are the creator of your life,
Your dreams and your writing.
Everything you do from here on in is filled with this energy,
Even as it touches the hearts and souls of the people who are going to read your book.
Take some deep breaths.
Every time you inhale,
The energy grows stronger and clearer.
Feel how the elements support you,
How benevolent the universe is to your desires,
How close you are to truly living in a way that is powerful,
Unique,
Your own.
