Welcome here.
This meditation is to support you in connecting with your creative path,
To ground your intention,
Meet your creative self with devotion,
And remember the deeper why behind what you are bringing into the world.
Creativity can take so many forms,
Writing,
Art making,
Problem solving,
Designing your days,
Cultivating community,
Building a business,
Or nurturing a dream.
It lives in both the obvious expressions and the quiet,
Subtle ones.
No matter the form,
The creative path asks something similar of all of us.
The willingness to keep showing up,
To stay connected even when it feels challenging,
And to remember that creativity isn't just an outcome,
It's a relationship.
A relationship that grows through presence,
Patience,
And steady attention.
Take a moment to settle in now.
Let yourself arrive right here.
Let your attention drop into your body.
Feel the place your body makes contact with the ground,
Your chair,
And the space around you.
Notice the weight of yourself,
Steady,
Present.
Take a breath in,
And exhale,
Again,
Inhale.
Exhale,
One more time,
With a little more depth,
Breathe in.
Feel the rhythm of your heart.
Invite your attention to be warm as you greet yourself right here.
Welcome whatever is present,
No need to change or fix.
Just meet what is here for you,
With warmth.
Breathe with yourself for a few breaths.
Now,
Imagine you can float up above this present moment.
See your creative journey from inception,
The moment the spark arrived,
The moment something in you whispered,
Yes.
Look forward to a possible future,
A completed creation,
Fully expressed,
Shaped,
Defined,
Matured,
And maybe even shared with the world.
Imagine the version of you who has brought this vision to completion,
What you've learned,
Discovered,
And grown through.
Now,
Feel your intention to work with this creation,
To bring it to life.
Feel your intention to be in relationship with your creative self.
Take a breath in,
And let this devotion to your creative path,
To what wants to move through you,
Land in your heart.
If it feels resonant,
Speak softly to yourself,
I am here to be in relationship with my creative process,
To partner with what wants to be born through me.
I am here in devotion to my creative self.
Let the vibration of these words land in your body.
Now,
Imagine your creative project or vision as something separate from you,
A tangible,
Real,
Living expression,
Full of energy,
Wisdom,
Emotion,
Curiosity,
With a desire to take form,
A desire to be seen and known,
Reaching towards you with gratitude and trust for the journey you're taking together.
Feel its excitement to create with you.
Imagine your future self,
Elated by the depth of your relationship with creativity,
The steadiness built from consistency,
Devotion,
And small daily acts of showing up.
Feel your future sense of achievement at the maturity of the creation that was once just a spark.
Hear your creative self whispering gratitude.
Thank you for your devotion.
Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for strengthening this creative muscle.
Sit with this gratitude for a moment.
Allow yourself to be worthy to receive it.
Seal your intention gently in your heart,
Like planting a seed.
I will stay in relationship.
I will keep showing up.
I will tend my creativity.
Let this intention be your compass,
Gentle,
Steady.
Return to the room,
To your day,
To your art.
