Hey friends,

So we're going to dive right into the creator energy here and finding balance and purpose with the creator energy.

And let me just start with a brief story.

When I was teaching meditation living in Hawaii,

I used to run a meditation school there.

I decided I wanted to start my own thing.

It was a non-profit,

I was always poor and I wanted to create my own business around teaching meditation online.

And at that point,

I just felt this deep sense of I'm not good enough to do this.

There was this underlying invalidation and lack of self-worth when I got started,

Because I just didn't know enough about the online space or how to start a business or how to be an entrepreneur.

And eventually I worked through that energy and I would call that my deficient creator phase,

Or one of those phases.

So I had to work through those deficiencies of not being good enough,

Of hiding,

Of being apathetic,

Of not creating.

And then I swung the pendulum all the way into the other direction,

And I became an excessive creator.

I couldn't stop working,

Couldn't stop building and growing.

I became obsessed with being successful and making it work.

And sometimes at the sacrifice of my personal relationships.

And finally I found a place,

Relatively speaking,

Of balance.

Life is always a work in progress,

So by no means am I perfect,

Nor will I ever be.

That's not what we're going for here.

The work we're doing is really about finding balance and finding purpose and living up to our potential in each energy.

So the creator in balance is somebody who's grounded,

Practical,

Maybe they're inventive,

Problem solvers.

They could be very hardworking,

But in a balanced way.

Maybe they're entrepreneurial.

The creator energy is the doer,

The energy in us that takes action,

That builds,

That makes.

And so it doesn't have to be creativity necessarily,

That will leave for the artist energy.

But it's the part of us that really takes action in the world.

So in this meditation we're going to really look at what is our deep meaning and purpose with our creator energy,

And how does it want to come out of us.

So get comfortable,

Go ahead,

Close your eyes,

And let's get started.

Take a few deep breaths,

Relax your shoulders.

Doesn't matter how you're sitting,

Cushion,

Chair,

Lying down,

Whatever works for you.

Draw your awareness and your attention right into the center of your head.

And I want you to notice that there's a chair in the room in the center of your head,

And you take a seat in it.

Or if you want,

It could be a cushion.

And as you grab a seat in the center of your head,

In front of you in this room,

You notice there's like a nice,

Beautiful,

Well-used desk.

In whatever style that works for you.

Just like an executive or a president might have their big fancy desk,

You have yours in your own style.

And on top of this desk,

There's a book.

And you take a look at it,

And it says,

The Creator,

And it has your name listed as the author.

And as you flip this book open,

You turn to a page that's blank.

And as you touch this blank page,

With your intention,

Slowly but surely,

An image starts to form.

And the image that forms here represents your true calling.

The part of your creator that's ready to make something and manifest it in the world.

As you look at this page,

And it starts to fill with an image,

It shows you the next step of your life in regards to your creator energy.

It may be something you're getting ready to begin to build,

Or a project that you're ready to finish.

Take a moment here,

Allow yourself to see this image.

And if it's fuzzy or blurry in any way,

Maybe check to see if you're too close to it or too far away.

Allow yourself to be patient.

And if you have a hard time seeing,

Maybe just sense or feel what the image would be.

And this image should relate in some way to you taking action in the world and creating something.

As you look at this image even more closely,

What is it about it that makes it special to you?

What physical,

Emotional,

Mental,

Or even spiritual needs does it fulfill in your life?

This image clearly has some kind of value and purpose for you.

Can you start to own that this image belongs to you,

That it represents a clear goal that you're here to achieve in this life?

Can you feel that the creator in you is here to manifest this image into form?

And can you have the confidence that this really is something that you can create?

And the next step here is to ask yourself,

What physical actions do you need to take in order to create this image into reality,

To bring it into form?

And are you willing to take these actions to put in the effort and the commitment that's necessary?

One of the reasons we meditate is to find clarity around who we are and what our next steps are.

So as you look at this page in the book of your life,

As it begins to show you one of the reasons you're here and what you're ready to create,

Can you accept this as an opportunity and as a challenge?

This is part of your life path.

And you don't need to go into excess,

Obsessively creating it,

Or hiding from doing anything,

And go into deficiency.

You can be right here in a nice,

Balanced way and own this as part of the purpose of your life.

And just to make this experience a bit more energetic,

Maybe there's a color or a glow around this page,

Around this image,

A color that you feel best represents your current creator energy emanating off the image.

If you like,

You can even add today's date on the top right or bottom right of the page.

Allow yourself to feel the truth of this image as being part of your destiny as a creator.

When you're ready,

You can slowly close the book.

Sit back comfortably in your chair in the center of your head.

And then open your eyes.

Thank you for sitting with me for this meditation.

Get out there and be an amazing creator.

And if you don't have a book,

I have a book.

If you don't have a copy,

You can grab the Seven Energies of the Soul book and it might give you some insight into some of these meditations.

And I will see you in the next one.

All right,

Take care.

I was able to understand clearly the essence of what I wanted to do, what has always been missing in my creative work. I was not able to see a whole picture or color, though.
