Greetings fellow traveller.
Welcome to the stepping over the creative threshold meditation.
In this session we are meditating to prepare for an act of creativity,
No matter what your creative practice or craft is.
Whatever your art form,
We are going to take a step over that threshold into a readiness to create right here.
There is something so special and life affirming about creativity.
Which makes the craft that you do sacred in its own right.
So in honour of your act of creation we will mark a clear line between the day before this point and what we are about to do upon entering the sacred space of creativity away from the everyday.
So let's prepare to step over that threshold.
Today we need a posture that will allow us to receive energy.
So please sit either on the floor or in a chair and start arranging yourself.
In a way that allows you to facilitate an upright position.
Tall spine.
Open chest,
Tool net,
But no need to strain.
Once you are rooted in your position,
If it feels good to you,
Close your eyes or soften your gaze.
And take three.
Big breaths.
Side them out.
And then settle into a steady,
Relaxed,
Breathing rhythm of your own.
Let's just sit with that for a few moments.
If your mind drifts.
Just come back to the breath.
And sigh it out.
And return to your easy rhythm Now that we're settled,
We are going to set an intention for our creative practice today.
This is an opportunity to set a goal or reaffirm why you're showing up today and set your attitude accordingly.
If you can't think of anything,
Then something like,
I'm showing up to honor my craft now,
Is a good start.
Usually starting with the words I am helps really empower you for the situation at hand.
And set a strong intention.
So I'm going to give you a few seconds to think of something and if you can't then just remember I am showing up to honor my craft now.
Once you have something.
Just keep repeating that chosen intention,
Either out loud or in your head.
Let it bed down like a seed and take root.
We're going to take another three big breaths.
And side them out.
And we are going to do some affirmations now to get charged up even more.
We have our intention,
Now we're going to affirm.
You can either repeat these after me out loud or in your head.
It is up to you.
I am blessed to have a sacred craft.
I am blessed to have a sacred craft.
I honour my gift today with my presence.
I honour my gift today with my presence.
I am ready to do the work.
I am ready to do the work.
When I practiced diligently,
I opened a door for inspiration.
When I practice diligently,
I open the door for inspiration.
Every time I show up,
It counts.
Every time I show up,
It counts.
What I am capable of today,
I will do.
No more,
No less.
What I am capable of today,
I will do.
No more.
No less.
I am in this for the long haul.
I will cross a thousand thousand thresholds.
I am in this for the long haul.
I will cross a thousand,
Thousand thresholds.
The joy of my craft is its own reward.
The joy of my craft is its own reward.
May flow favour me.
May flow favour me.
Now,
Take three big,
Deep breaths.
Sign them out.
And in your own time take a big stretch and open your eyes clap your hands or snap your fingers three times.
Have a recall.
And now go show up for your craft.
May inspiration lead you and may the muses bless you in your endeavours.
Take care,
Happy creating and bye for now.
