Pre-Writing Flow Meditation

This meditation is intended to ground you before you begin writing. It's a gentle, guided practice in which you set your intentions for your writing practice, tap into your inner expansiveness and personal power, and focus your flow for the writing session ahead. This short, powerful practice is helpful for any writer and gives an extra boost for writers struggling with feeling stuck or dealing with self-doubt and uncertainty.

Transcript

We'll begin our practice by finding a comfortable seat. And when you're ready, Close your eyes. For the next five minutes, You have nowhere to go, No one to be, And nothing to do, But follow the flow of your breath. Let's take three deep breaths. One, Two, Three. One, Two, Three. One, Two, Three. One, Two, Three. Let's take three deep nourishing breaths, In through the nose and out through the mouth. Inhale, Inspiration. Exhale, Tension. Inhale, Discovery. Inhale, Discovery. Exhale, Self-doubt. Inhale, Flow. Exhale, Fear. Exhale, Self-doubt. Notice any shifts in your body. How does it feel to be you right now? How's your heart today? Allow all of you to be welcome here. Give yourself permission to just breathe. Direct your attention to your breath, And breathe naturally into the silence, In and out through your nose. When thoughts arise, Acknowledge them, But then allow them to pass through you in a way like leaves in a fast flowing stream. Return to the breath, In and out through your nose. Your breath, Like flow, Is always available to you. Drop in, Let go, Breathe. When you hear the bell, Set an intention. How do you want to show up for your writing today? Follow the wave of sound into your writing practice. Bell rings. Bell rings.
