As part of this meditation,
I'm going to ask you to visualize a desired outcome stemming from your creativity.
Along the way,
We will revisit a moment of accomplishment,
A moment where you may have experienced a creative block,
And a moment where you may have experienced rejection.
Before we settle in,
Take some time to identify these moments in addition to your desired outcome.
Sit comfortably.
Back upright.
Relax the face,
The jaw.
Settle and relax.
Let's close our eyes.
Breathe deeply.
Nice,
Deep,
Even breaths.
Fully filling the lungs up on the inward breath.
Fully emptying the lungs on the outward breath.
Now relax into the outward breath.
Extend the outward breath.
Feeling the relaxation of the breath.
Extend the outward breath.
Keep breathing in this pattern.
Count five breaths.
One,
The body is relaxing.
Two,
The body feels relaxed.
Three,
All tension is released.
Four,
Letting go of any tension.
Five,
You are deeply relaxed.
As we keep relaxing into the outward breath,
Picture a moment when you accomplished something with your creativity.
Maybe it's a painting,
A song,
Or a script.
It could be big or small.
Maybe it's as simple as a meal that you prepared,
A photo that you took,
Or a journal entry that you wrote.
Relax into your outward breath.
Extend the outward breath.
Feeling the relaxation of the breath.
Extend the outward breath.
Keep breathing in this pattern.
You created something with your own imagination,
Expression,
And energy.
Picture the design of your creation.
Take in each detail,
All of its beauty,
All of its imperfection.
Sometimes there's no difference.
Can you identify what is beautifully imperfect about your creation?
Feel the success of accomplishment course through the veins again.
Filling the body with confidence,
Freedom,
And pure joy.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
As we keep relaxing into the outward breath,
Recall a time when that creative energy got stuck.
Like a stone disrupting the flow of a river.
Maybe the water is redirected.
Maybe the water just stops flowing.
Identify the stone or distraction.
What is holding you back from your desired outcome?
It's okay to feel frustrated.
It's okay to feel irritated.
Perhaps it's a signpost to let go of expectation.
Embrace the stone or block.
Be kind to yourself.
Remain open to spontaneity,
Possibility,
And inspiration.
Inspiration is not only all around us,
But within us.
Dig up that initial moment of creative accomplishment,
Big or small.
Feel the success of accomplishment course through the veins again.
Filling the body with confidence,
Freedom,
And pure joy.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Send that confidence,
Freedom,
And joy to your block.
Blasting the stone with the light of all your potential.
All of your love.
All of your creativity.
The stone,
Now full with your knowledge,
Awareness,
Love,
And creativity,
Shines like a beautiful,
Bright diamond.
Examine and appreciate this newfound glow.
It came from you.
As we keep relaxing into the outward breath,
Recall a time when you experienced rejection.
Picture the experience that may have denied your creativity.
Allow any emotion to come up that may be provoked.
Notice it and let it drift away.
It's okay to feel disappointment.
It's okay to feel vulnerable.
Once these emotions have dissipated,
Embrace that crystal once more.
Dig up that initial moment of creative accomplishment,
Big or small.
Feel the success of that accomplishment course through the veins again.
Filling the body with confidence,
Freedom,
And pure joy.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Send that confidence,
Freedom,
And joy to your crystal.
Blasting the stone with the light of all your potential.
All of your love.
All of your creativity.
The diamond now overflowing with your knowledge,
Awareness,
Love,
And creativity begins to burst into bright rays of light.
Examine and appreciate this newfound glow.
It came from you.
Now picture your desired outcome.
You've completed that class you've always wanted to take,
Cultivated a new relationship,
Or finished writing your first book.
Whatever your success may be,
Celebrate it as if you already have achieved it.
Bask in the glow of your creativity.
Bring the attention back to the body.
Feel yourself in your body.
Keeping the eyes closed,
You may bring your hands to your heart or your navel,
Or run your hands over your body or your face.
Once you feel settled in your body,
You may slowly open the eyes.
This guided visual provides us with the basic principles of manifestation.
We don't mind if the mind wandered while we were meditating.
This is completely normal.
We simply return back to our visual,
Our intention,
Our desired outcome,
Breaking through our creative barriers.
