Hello everyone,
Violet here and inspired by the NaNoWriMo process that I am currently on a journey in,
I wanted to create a guided meditation for writers,
For anyone who is about to begin their writing practice for the day.
So this will be nice and short and you can use this at any time when you're writing if you find it useful.
So go ahead and find yourself in a comfortable seat,
Maybe you are sitting in the spot that you have designated for writing,
Perhaps you have your writing tools nearby.
Now close your eyes and take a couple breaths.
And to begin,
I want you to invite the inspiration,
Invite the imagination that you would like to walk with you during your writing practice today with a gentle energy.
It's a gentle invitation,
It isn't forceful.
The inspiration and the imagination don't necessarily have to show up right away.
You can welcome any amount of it,
Any glimmer of it that is present while still acknowledging the possibility that perhaps it hasn't yet come and that's also okay.
Take this moment to make a promise to your inner artist,
Your inner child,
That you are showing up for them today.
Whether or not you feel like it,
You are here for them and you are ready to put down on paper anything that wants to be written today.
And now take a moment to thank your inner critic for all of the feedback and hard work it's put in throughout your life and throughout your creative journey and you can let it know that it can take a break today while you write.
You will call upon it when you are in the editing phase but your inner critic does not need to be here today so it can have the day off.
And when you are editing,
You will welcome your inner critic for all of its gifts and all of its lessons.
And now we're going to speak a few affirmations and you can do this out loud or you can do this in your head.
My story matters.
I am a unique soul with my own journey which allows me to create something that only I can make which is worth being in this world.
My story also draws from the great stories that connect all of us and exist in all of our subconscious mind.
I acknowledge that my story can hold both the qualities of stories that have come before and the uniqueness of my own self and from that beauty is made.
I enjoy this process regardless of the outcome.
I am a writer because I write.
I'm going to say a few of those one more time so if you want to say it aloud with me.
My story matters.
I enjoy this process regardless of the outcome.
I am a writer because I write.
And now put your hands on your tools that could be your notebook and your pen or pencil.
It could be your laptop.
Whatever you are using to write and go ahead and send your intention into your tools and thank you.
Thank them for how they are serving you today.
Take a couple breaths as you do this.
Now you can bring yourself back into this state of presence.
Back to the room,
Back to your writing space and hopefully this has opened the door to the flow that you can begin to enter as you get into the flow state of writing.
I wish you all of the luck in your writing practice today.
Thank you so much for being here.
