Let's begin by finding a posture where you're feeling fully supported.
Your back is straight,
Your shoulders are able to relax,
Closing down your eyes.
Feel where your sit bones rest on the ground.
Let your entire body feel grounded here,
Into your sit bones.
Your tailbone slightly tucked,
Creating a beautiful balanced base here in the hips and pelvis connecting you to the earth.
Enter the stillness that is within you at this time.
This stillness where we are going to allow your mind to flow a little and to move towards a more spacious awareness of creativity.
Connect with your breathing for a moment.
Feel all your energy pulling you,
Grounding you down into your seat,
Palms down,
Resting on your lap.
Taking a few deep breaths and slow exhales.
On the inhale let your chest rise,
On the exhale let it go.
Let your body relax and feel the flow of your breath moving through you,
Becoming aware you have any physical sensations in the body.
Now relax your breath so you can breathe easy and natural,
Following the ebb and flow.
When the mind becomes distracted,
Gently bring it back,
Kindly,
With no judgement.
Bringing your focused awareness now towards the middle of your chest,
Notice the beginnings of a gentle spark of spacious light.
As this light grows within your chest,
Representing the gentle creativity that lives inside of you,
A loving unaffected presence,
The home of your creative spark,
Your intuition,
Your genius,
Lean into this.
Let this light fill your body,
Your soul,
Your mind and your spirit.
How beautiful you are in this creative state,
This spacious awareness,
The self that chooses to take on a childlike sense of curiosity,
Creativity and awe.
Just watching as this bright warm light continues to expand throughout your whole body.
Being aware of this spaciousness,
This warm light now expanding beyond the body,
A beam of light going out in every direction.
Observing the light going as far as it possibly can,
Ascending to the heavens.
When you've gone as wide as you possibly can,
Just letting go of the idea of the world as the image,
Letting go of any focus of any kind and just sit here in the centre of this warm light,
This untouched beauty,
Your creative genius.
Now when you're ready,
Just bringing your attention back towards your body,
Bringing that bright light back inward,
Noticing the sounds,
Smells,
Any sensations on your skin and coming back to your breath.
This is why we meditate,
To create space,
To recalibrate,
To refresh ideas.
Underneath the busyness of life sits a loving,
Unaffected presence,
The home of your creativity,
Your inspiration.
If you ever feel like you can't find your creativity,
Know that you can always go within.
It is here.
Lean into it.
Come back to this meditation.
Whenever you feel,
It will serve you.
And as we draw near the end of this practice,
Just bringing your awareness now to the soles of your feet,
Grounding down,
Feeling your body is strong,
Your heart is soft,
There's a gentle smile on your lips and whenever you're ready,
Opening your eyes.
