Morning Mindfulness For Creativity - Cultivating Wonder

This guided meditation space is an invitation to begin your day with a moment to consider how you might cultivate a sense of wonder.

It’s an invitation to consider resting in something greater than yourself and, in doing so, opening up to greater creative potential in your life and in your art.

We’ll look to the example of nature as a reminder that we can trust and let natural processes unfold, letting go of the need to be in control.

I’ll ask you to consider a simple question related to our theme of ‘Cultivating Wonder’ and provide a few minutes of ambient sound to accompany your meditation, journaling, or reflection.

Whether you are a seasoned creative or just beginning to explore your creative potential, this mindful morning reflection aims to gently guide you toward a deeper sense of openness, curiosity, and creative energy as you start your day.

Welcome to this session of Morning Mindfulness for Creativity.

These brief moments are your opportunity to pause,

Breathe and set a creative tone for the day.

Each morning we'll explore a simple question to spark inspiration and guide you towards the abundant creative energy already within you.

Whether you prefer journaling or quiet reflection,

This is your space to explore with openness and curiosity.

Find a comfortable place to settle in,

Perhaps with a cup of tea nearby,

And let's begin this mindful journey together.

Today I invite you to consider what sparks childlike wonder within you?

What aspects of this world or life open your heart and mind and allow you to tap into a sense of wonder?

A sense that there's something greater than ourselves,

An intelligence,

A kindness,

A love,

A creative force that's beyond our knowing but that we're a part of.

For some people a simple wonder of nature touches into this place,

Observing the natural world and knowing that it has its own rhythms and intelligence that we cannot and do not have to be in control of.

I invite you now to consider what sparks a sense of wonder in you and spend a few minutes resting in this space,

Being held by something greater than yourself.

When you're ready,

Begin to deepen your breath and take a few minutes to reflect on this question.

How can I rest in something greater today?

Thank you for spending this moment with me today and I hope this practice leaves you feeling refreshed,

Centred and open to all the creative possibilities ahead.

Remember your creativity is always with you.

I hope you can meet me back here tomorrow.

Until then,

I'm Caroline Inkle,

Artist and coach wishing you a wonderful day ahead,

Filled with ease and inspiration.
