I invite you to spend a moment settling your body into the seat you are in.
Make any adjustments that you need.
When you are ready,
Close your eyes or soften your gaze and take three slow,
Deep breaths to help you arrive completely into this moment.
If you have any tension or soreness in your body,
You're welcome to place your hand lovingly over it,
Maybe give yourself a little massage,
And breathe a few more breaths into it.
Let your body sink in or melt a little into your seat or your cushions.
Really notice the sensation of physically being held,
Supported.
Gift yourself with appreciation and praise for arriving here today,
For showing up and readying yourself for this sacred work of channeling insight,
Wisdom,
Imagination and creative impulse from the unseen realms and bringing it into form on your pages.
Think now too of your tools in this craft,
Your pens and your paper,
Your laptop,
Tablets or other recording devices,
Giving them also gratitude and praise and welcome.
This space that you are writing in,
Such good fortune to be here now,
Stepping into this ancient medicine of storytelling,
Of crafting prose,
Wordsmithing,
Information and gathering ideas to be offered to our dear receptive readers,
Or kept privately and held close to our hearts,
Or perhaps written as an offering to the muse themselves as a ceremonial act.
It is time now to welcome our muse into our writing practice,
This essence that can be felt when we are in flow,
The inspiration calling us to our pages,
The imbas informing and guiding our words that we choose,
And with our breath now opening ourselves to this mystic quality of bard,
Poet,
Scribe,
Storyteller,
Record keeper,
Messenger,
Wise one,
Letting our hearts soften a little,
Putting down some of the armor that we carry,
Opening our physical selves.
And just for this window of time at our writing desks and creative nooks,
Let us be in communion with this sacred work.
A few quick breaths now to wake ourselves and sharpen our wit,
Rub your hands together and touch your face,
Come into full presence again,
Awake,
Ready,
Inspired.
Blessings on your words today.
