Surrender Into Creativity

Creativity begins with relaxation into flow. Begin with the idea of what you would like to create and use this short practice to deepen and reset your intention. Allow yourself to rest in a space of expansiveness and surrender so that you can make that project, that relationship, that dream a reality.

Transcript

Our intention for this meditation is to consider the Tao,

The source of creation.

Always flowing,

Always nourishing life,

Always presenting steps and solutions,

And always reminding us that we are perfection in this moment.

You are being guided to relax and allow life to flow.

Lie or sit quietly in a slightly darkened room,

Or place a soft cloth over your closed eyes.

Imagine that you are lying in a dark,

Endless space that is safe,

Expansive,

And loving.

Imagine it expanding in front of you,

Behind you,

To the right and the left,

Above and below,

Until it is just you in the center of endless space.

Feel your edges blurring,

Until it is hard to tell where you start and stop and the space begins.

Allow yourself to feel held and supported in this space,

Almost like you are resting on a deep ocean.

Become aware of gentle pulses and waves,

Sometimes quite large,

Sometimes very small and delicate,

That reveal this space has intelligence and aliveness.

Imagine any outcome that you wish to create,

Starting off as a thought or a vision in your mind,

And then dissolving into light,

Journeying down to your heart and beaming out into this vast void.

The process of creation has been initiated the moment you let go of it.

You don't even have to know how or what to do next.

Feel the joy of release and the wonder of how easy it is when we let go of fear and control.

Feel the excitement or anticipation that the universe is playing with you now to create the best manifestation.

Relax and then follow your breath.

We finish with this prayer to the Tao and to our higher selves,

To the universe that supports us.

Guide me,

Restore me,

I trust you completely.

Your wisdom,

Love and joy lights my path and the way becomes easy for me.

Reviews

Restorative. This meditation helps me connect and trust the Universe.

Really awesome. Although it’s only 5 minutes, I felt like I journeyed for a while. Definitely will revisit this one!

Thanks for lighting me up💖

Beautiful. Brief. Effective.

A perfect meditation for here & now.

A refreshing, freeing, psychedelic meditation! An awesome 5 min journey inside.

A few minor tech issues aside (occasional mic noise early on, slightly unclear ending, and way too many damn bells), this is a fascinating exercise given its brevity.

I don’t usually recommend slightly more advanced techniques like this to absolute beginners, but this one seems really accessible in its length and language, so it might work out great.

Definitely bears repeat listening, and it’s one I plan to work with often.

Very inspiring and insightful, thank you!! 🙏🏻
