Creativity isn’t about producing or proving—it’s about presence, play, and healing. In this session, we’ll reframe creativity as something alive within you, waiting to be felt, expressed, and enjoyed with ease. Creativity isn’t what you think it is. Music By Music Of Wisdom: Kinhin

Hello and welcome.

I'm so glad you're here taking this time for yourself.

We begin a journey together into your own creative energy,

Not the kind that demands affection,

Output,

Or validation,

But the kind that reconnects you to joy,

Presence,

And self-expression.

So I'll just start by sharing a little story.

For a long time,

I believed creativity meant producing something useful,

Something that others would recognize,

Praise,

Or approve.

So I would look at a blank page,

Waiting for inspiration,

But feeling stuck,

And when nothing came,

I felt a little frustrated.

Then one morning,

I picked up a pen,

Not to write a story or make a masterpiece,

But just to doodle.

I let my hand move freely without intention,

And suddenly lines became shapes,

Shapes became patterns,

Patterns became a small world that only I could see.

And in that moment,

Something shifted.

I realized that creativity doesn't have to be about the final product.

It's about connection to yourself,

To joy,

To life.

So just take a moment now to settle in.

Sit comfortably,

Close your eyes,

And just notice your body.

Notice your breath.

Creativity is already here within you.

We're just going to wake it up.

So just bring your awareness to your sacral chakra,

Which is located just below your navel.

This is the energetic center of creativity,

Pleasure,

Flow,

And self-expression.

Place a hand gently on your lower belly,

And just notice any sensations there.

Warmth,

Softness,

Tingling,

Or perhaps even tension.

Whatever you feel is perfect.

No need to change anything.

Let's connect with your breath now.

Inhale slowly through your nose,

And let your belly expand,

Feeling your hand rise.

Pause for a moment,

And exhale gently through your mouth,

Allowing your belly to soften.

Again,

Inhale,

Fill your lower belly with energy,

And exhale,

Releasing tension,

Inviting ease.

Once more,

Inhale and exhale,

And feel your sacral chakra awake.

It's a warm,

Gentle flow moving through you.

Imagine this energy as a glowing orange light,

Radiant,

Soft,

And alive.

Each breath you take nourishes this creative spark inside you.

So take three more breaths here,

Noticing how your body feels as you awaken this energy.

Creativity is alive in you right now,

In this moment.

Now,

Let's deepen this connection with an affirmation.

Repeat after me,

Either out loud or silently to yourself.

I am open to the flow of my creative energy.

Inhale.

I am open to the flow of my creative energy.

Exhale.

My ideas and expression are welcome exactly as they are.

Inhale.

My ideas and expression are welcome exactly as they are.

Exhale.

I release expectation and allow creativity to move through me freely.

Inhale.

I release expectation and allow creativity to move through me freely.

Exhale.

Take a moment here to feel how these words resonate in your body.

Notice if your belly feels lighter,

If your mind feels calmer,

If a sense of ease or curiosity arises.

This is your creativity and your energy responding,

Acknowledging you and inviting you to play.

If you have a journal or piece of paper nearby,

Let's explore your creativity through writing.

You don't need to censor yourself.

No grammar,

No rules,

Just expression.

So write or reflect on these prompts.

What would I create purely for joy without expectation?

If I had no fear of judgment,

What would I draw,

Write or make today?

If I had no fear of judgment,

What would I draw,

Write or make today?

How does my body feel when I allow myself to play with creativity?

Take a few moments here.

As you do this,

Notice if any ideas,

Images or emotions arise.

Let them move freely.

You might smile,

You might feel a little resistance and that's okay.

Creativity is not a straight line.

It's a dance,

A meandering river,

A soft unfolding.

Come back now to your breath and gently bring your awareness to your sacral chakra one more time.

Inhale,

Feel your creative energy bright and alive.

Exhale,

Softening,

Letting it rest in your body,

Safe and steady.

Remember,

Creativity is not a task.

It's not about being productive.

It's about presence,

Curiosity and connection with yourself.

By simply showing up here today,

You've honored your own creative energy.

So the next session in this series will explore silence,

Doubt and the joy of offering your work.

Each step is a gentle invitation to play,

To notice and to trust your creative flow.

Thank you so much for being here and thank you for giving yourself this time.

Your creativity is already alive.

It's already yours.

I can't wait to continue this journey with you.

Namaste,

My friend.
