Creative Visualisation for Creativity This guided visualisation is designed to allow you to access your creativity and build your confidence in your artistic abilities,
In whichever way you choose.
Visualisations are a powerful experience to your unconscious mind.
The more feeling you can infuse into the visualisation,
The more your mind experiences what you are seeing in your mind's eye and feeling in your body as the truth.
The more often you experience these feelings,
The more your mind will seek to replicate them in your everyday life.
You'll be more attuned to your potential for creativity,
Because that's the message you are sending to your mind.
Take a moment or two to find a comfortable spot where you won't be disturbed and where you know you can relax and unwind.
Find somewhere where you know you can relax and let go,
Lying comfortably,
With your legs on the floor and your arms resting by your sides,
Or sitting upright but relaxed if you prefer.
Take a few deep,
Filling breaths and release them fully in your own time.
As you lie there comfortably,
Focus on your breathing and notice that you can take in a very deep breath.
And release it fully.
All the way in.
And all the way out.
Observe your chest as you breathe in and out.
Notice the rise and fall of your abdomen as you breathe in and as you breathe out.
Remember how good it feels to release and to relax.
I'm going to take you on a journey where you will meet with your creative self.
This creative self is a version of you at your most artistic,
Capable and creative.
It is the version of you who has never had any fear or doubts about being creative or sharing their creativity,
And who knows that creativity is an instinctive part of who they are.
I want you now to imagine that you are at the bottom of a hill,
And I want you to look up and walk slowly along the winding path in front of you,
Which will take you slowly towards the top of the hill.
At the crest of the hill,
You can see this creative version of yourself right there in front of you.
In your mind,
Walk towards that version of you.
Notice the energy and glow that they have about them,
And that you are drawn towards that glow.
It's like a magnet,
Pulling you closer,
So comfortably,
So inviting.
The hill is steep,
And you climb it with excitement,
Knowing that you are going to meet this creative version of you.
As you follow the path,
Notice how much you want to bask in the glow that emanates from this creative being,
How it warms you and fills you even at this distance.
You do all you can to race to the top of the hill,
Drawn in by their magnetism.
And when you get there,
Stop just in front of them.
I want you to look at them,
Really look.
Notice all you can about this creative version of you.
Notice how similar they are to you,
And how much their creative light spills out of them into the world around.
Observe the creativity that infuses every part of them.
Now I want you to reach out and touch this creative being,
Wrapping your arms around them so comfortably,
So invitingly.
And as you do so,
Observe how their creative light moves to surround you.
It surrounds you and envelops you.
Notice how comfortable it is,
And the sense of coming home.
Observe how this creative energy moves from them and surrounds you,
Infusing your body with warmth from its glow.
You now share this creative energy,
And it feels just right,
Like it was always there,
Lighting up your creative energy within.
It was always there,
Waiting for you to notice.
What does it feel like as it flows through your body?
Is it located in one area of you?
Maybe your chest,
Maybe your abdomen,
Maybe you feel it in your head.
Notice the sensations of this creative feeling as they vibrate in your body.
Notice how they are there in the breath that you take,
In the breath that you release,
Ever-present and yet unnoticed until now.
Give one final heartfelt squeeze of your hug to your creative self,
Absorbing as much of their light and glow as you can.
And when you step away from them,
Know that you are taking that energy with you.
You know you are a creative being,
And that you have the ability to be creative whenever you choose.
You know that you can carry that creative glow with you.
And as you start on your journey and begin to walk back down the hill,
Observe how it feels to have that creativity be a part of your being.
Allow yourself to smile and feel real joy.
What do you want to say to yourself about how it feels?
Let all those thoughts and positive feelings radiate through you as you head back down the hill.
And when you reach the bottom again,
See that you have that creative glow flowing through you.
And as you notice the flow,
Becoming more and more aware of your body and of your breath.
And now,
As you lie here or sit here,
Aware that you are listening to me.
And now,
As you return to your breath,
Begin to notice your body as it is here and now,
And to your breath in this present moment.
The sensations of the floor beneath you and the sounds around you.
And return now to yourself.
Take a calming,
Deep,
Deep breath and when you are ready,
Open your eyes and wide awake.
