Unblock Creativity With Mindfulness

Por Dani Fankhauser

Comece o Dia 1
O que você irá aprender
Creative blocks are often linked to fear. Mindfulness practices help to regulate the nervous system, and can help us turn ideas into form. In this course, students will learn five mindfulness practices, each from a different tradition, that are especially suited to open the creative channels. In each lesson, we will practice the method together. By the end of the course, students will have a collection of tools to support their creative work, and a better understanding of what gets them into the creative flow.

Lição 1
Build Your Creative Routine
On day 1, we will kick off our transformation together by going over the structure. Along with the audio lessons, students will create a daily goal for themselves — the first step to building new neural pathways and accessing that creative flow. Then, we will learn about the sacral chakra, and practice a few simple yoga postures that help unblock the sacral chakra, our center of creativity.
Lição 2
Know Your Why
On day 2, we will explore how self-sabotage can prevent us from moving forward on creative work. We'll learn about a mindfulness method called Parts Work, or Inner Council, that helps to harmonize any inner resistance. Through a visualization meditation, we will speak to different parts of ourselves, and discover the underlying "why" that is driving us to be creative.
Lição 3
Maintain Momentum
On day 3, we will explore how the inner critic can cause us to question the quality of our work, right when we're hitting some momentum. We’ll learn a simple practice, using the chakra system and a Bija mantra, that can be done in five minutes or less to re-center the nervous system.
Lição 4
Survive Disillusionment
On day 4, we will fast-forward to what happens when a creative work is completed, and it doesn't turn out the way you had imagined. We'll explore how failure can actually be a stepping stone, and learn a practice called channel writing, that uses intuition to find the way through a road block.
Lição 5
The Creativity Is the Cure
On day 5, we'll learn one final meditation technique: mindfulness of breath. This practice helps us to find a balance between persistence and patience so we can see our work through to the finish line. We'll also explore how creativity is itself a spiritual practice, and practicing can help us to both know and love ourselves.
