Hello and welcome to this creativity meditation.
Today I'm going to guide you into connecting with your creative spirit,
Your creative essence,
Maybe giving them more of a form or an energy,
Something that you can connect with and feel can be very useful.
Sometimes creativity can feel elusive,
It can feel like you just can't grasp it and sometimes helping give it form might help.
So as you're ready you can either sit down or you can lay down,
Whatever's comfortable today,
As well as close down your eyes.
As you get settled on each exhale I invite you to sink a little bit deeper into the support beneath you,
Feeling held in this moment.
You can begin to extend your inhales and exhales,
Allowing the world around you to fall away just for a little while.
From where you're sitting or where you're laying down,
I'd like you to imagine tree roots extending out from anything touching a surface,
So your legs or your back,
Your arms.
Watch these tree roots travel down into the ground beneath you,
Through any flooring of your home,
Through foundations,
Down walls,
Down deep into the earth beneath you and can witness these roots weaving deeper through soil and sand,
Grass,
Rocks.
As they go they can extend out in every direction if that feels good,
Just allow this visualization,
Don't try to control it.
And as these roots travel deeper,
Witness them connect to the core of the earth,
Maybe it's a ball of white light,
Golden light,
Whatever the core of the earth represents for you,
Maybe it's a crystal.
Watch these roots wrap themselves around the core of the earth,
The core of Mother Earth and as they do they begin to glow,
Glow bright with a white light.
As you breathe feel the thrum of this energy that you're connecting with,
Does it pulsate with your breath,
Does it pulsate with your heartbeat?
Feel these roots,
These vines connecting you to Mother Earth.
You can ask this core of the earth for any wisdom,
For any guidance,
Show gratitude for the process that you're about to go through.
As you're ready I'd like you to draw this white bright light up the roots,
All the way up pulling this wisdom and this guidance with you,
All the way up back through the layers of the earth through the foundations of your home and meeting your body.
Visualize your body now glowing in this white light,
As you breathe it glows brighter,
It flows through every pore,
Your skin,
Through your veins,
Through your body until the entirety of you is in a ball of light.
Just breathe with this for a little longer,
As you exhale let it absorb into your body,
By no means going away but just dimming the light a little bit,
It's still within you,
You can still feel it and from this divine state I'd like you to scan your body from head to toe and find where you feel your creativity,
Where does that spark come from?
Typically we'd say that creativity is in the sacral chakra which is about three fingers below your navel,
If that feels right you can settle there but sometimes it'll appear somewhere else,
Maybe your heart,
Your solar plexus,
Maybe even your hands,
Don't judge where you find it but as you find it and as you settle on it,
Just breathe into that creativity,
Even if today is just a sliver and even if you're having trouble connecting with it,
That is totally okay,
Be patient.
Now if you're a visual person,
What does this creativity look like?
Is it a ball of light?
Is it a spark?
Is it fire?
What form does it take,
If it takes a form?
And if you're not a visual person,
How does it feel?
Is it warm?
Is it cold?
It feels solid,
Is it flowy like water?
If it helps you can also move a little bit here,
You can sway,
Move your hips,
Wherever you're feeling your creativity you can move that area just to encourage it to move,
Creativity is flow,
You're not meant to be rigid and sticky about it,
Let it move if it wants to move.
When you're ready,
I'd like you to ask it what's blocking it,
If anything,
If you're feeling creatively blocked,
Ask your creativity what's blocking you,
Maybe visually you can see a shadow over your creativity,
Maybe it has an answer for you,
Is it a fear of not being good enough?
Were you told growing up that creativity is not a valid form of income,
Of employment,
Life?
Do you believe that you've lost your creativity,
Or that you're not a creative person at all?
Whatever it is,
Be compassionate for yourself in this moment,
Don't judge what comes up,
Just keep breathing,
Keep taking deep breaths and sitting with it,
Continuing to connect to your creativity and holding space for whatever is blocking it,
And with your breath see if as you breathe you can breathe through this block,
See if it dissipates a little bit,
If it makes it lighter,
And with this block you can ask yourself,
You can ask your creativity,
Your inner child,
What do you need to feel safe to be creative?
How can you show this blockage,
How can you prove to yourself that you are creative,
That you deserve to be creative,
That your creativity is valid?
Keep breathing and on your exhale relax your body if tension has crept into it,
You can continue this dialogue for as long as you need,
Otherwise when you're ready I'd like you to connect to your heart space,
Connect to your compassion,
Your love,
If there are still essences of this blockage you can draw it up to your heart space,
As you breathe I'd like you to bring up that white light that we connected with earlier,
Pull it back up your body and let your body be encompassed in this white light again,
Let it push through any blockages,
Anything holding you back from being your most creative,
Vibrant,
Inspired self.
Inhale,
Absorb this creativity,
Absorb this light,
Power it up,
Feel it grow stronger and as you exhale watch it grow,
Watch it expand past the boundaries of your body and as it does it releases anything that is not serving your creative self,
Anything that is not encouraging you to be inspired,
To follow your dreams,
Whatever it is.
Continue this process,
This breath,
Powering up on the inhale and expanding your light as you exhale and releasing what is not serving you.
On your next exhale you can release this visualization,
Knowing that this light is still a part of you,
You can wrap your arms around yourself,
You can place your hands over your heart,
Give yourself a hug,
A squeeze,
You can move a little bit,
Whatever feels good,
Let yourself flow with it,
You can thank Mother Earth for any guidance that she's provided today for you and as you do you can release the roots connecting you to the core of the earth,
Let them fall away and for a moment honor yourself with compassion and gratitude for the time you took for yourself,
For your creativity today.
You can sit in this feeling for as long as you wish,
Otherwise when you're ready you can wiggle your fingers and toes,
You can take a big stretch if that feels good.
When you're ready you can open your eyes,
Look around,
Take in the simple beauties around you.
As you're ready you can go on with your day.
Thank you so much for being here.
