i open my creativity workshops with a guided meditation, i think it is really important for creating that magical inspiring space where massive amounts of creative energy can pour out of each one of us. after a group meditation you can feel the room sparkling with possibility.
meditation calms and centers us, brings us right into the present moment. in the present moment, our creativity is flowing freely and we are connected to unlimited inspiration. when we are busy, stressed, or simply focused elsewhere we are not consciously aware of this. meditation, and specifically guided meditation designed to bring us in touch with our creative spirits, helps us become aware.
when creativity is flowing freely and we are connected to unlimited inspiration, our creative journaling can take us in amazing new directions. now we are being guided from within. now we are working with our true potential. this is where infinite possibility exists. exciting stuff!
no special skills or talent are needed to follow a guided creativity meditation. all that is required is a willingness to be open to it. go ahead and give it a try, i have created a short and simple meditation for the creative journaling workshop:

as with anything, the more you meditate the better you get at it. in this case, “better” only means that you relax more fully more quickly as you sink deeper into yourself. you may not notice much happening at first, but if you stick with it you will find benefits. i really could not imagine my life without daily meditation. it keeps me centered, peaceful, happy, creative, present in my body, connected to my intuition. there is this feeling of lightness and bliss flowing through me that helps to smooth out whatever bumps may show up in my day.
