Welcome to the Connecting with Your Creativity Meditation.
Find a comfortable place where you can either sit or lie down.
And gently close your eyes.
Begin to relax.
Take a deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Feel your whole body starting to let go.
Take another deep breath.
And as you exhale,
Let yourself relax even more deeply.
Feel your body softening.
And notice how the energy begins to flow freely with each breath.
When you inhale,
Imagine drawing in the life force of the universe.
And see how it fills every cell in your body.
And as you exhale,
Release any old doubts or limitations that are no longer serving you.
Every time you breathe out,
You make space for new energy and new possibilities.
So as you breathe,
Invite fresh,
Creative energy into your body every time that you inhale.
Let go of any outdated beliefs about what you can or cannot do.
You are a being of creation,
Open to new ideas and fresh inspiration.
Feel yourself going even deeper,
Sinking into a peaceful and quiet space within.
Now imagine that you are walking along a beautiful path that leads to your inner sanctuary.
Your own personal sacred space.
This path can look however you imagine it to be.
Whether it's in a beautiful place in nature,
In a garden,
In a crystal cave or anywhere else that you feel peaceful in.
And as you walk,
Feel yourself becoming more open,
More alive.
You're stepping into a new version of yourself,
Ready for new experiences and discoveries.
As you enter your sanctuary,
Take a moment to observe how beautiful it is.
Notice how it looks and how it feels to be there.
And let yourself sink into the peace,
The safety and the nurturing energy that is here.
If you want,
You can find a comfortable spot where you can sit and simply be present there.
Now invite the most creative part of yourself to join you in your sanctuary.
Look towards the entrance and sense or visualize your creative part approaching.
It may be a part of you that you've connected with before or it could be something new.
Just trust whatever comes up and allow your imagination to just unfold freely.
As this creative part of you approaches,
Notice how it looks.
It might appear as a human,
As an animal,
As a spirit,
A color or even a shape.
Whatever you see or feel,
Simply observe it and be open to however it presents itself to you right now.
When your creative part reaches you,
Connect with its energy.
Take a moment to feel its presence.
Ask your creative self what message does it have for you or what is it that it wants to express.
It may speak to you in words,
Feelings or symbols.
Ask it what it most wants to do in your life and how it is already expressing itself.
Let this communication to flow naturally.
Your creative part now invites you on a journey within your sanctuary and it wants to lead you to a part of your sanctuary that you have never seen before.
As you follow it,
You discover a beautiful and clear pool of warm water.
This pool represents your own creative energy.
Gently remove anything that you are wearing and step into the water,
Letting it hold and support you as you float.
As you drift in the pool,
The sky above you is gradually darkening,
Revealing a blanket of stars.
One star shines more brightly than the rest and you intuitively know that this is your star.
This star holds a message for you about your life's purpose at this moment.
Listen closely to what it has to share.
When you are ready,
Step out of the pool.
You'll find that your old clothes have disappeared and your creative part offers you now new and magical clothes.
As you put them on,
Notice how they feel,
Like an expression of your true essence.
Move freely in these clothes,
Feeling your body's energy shift.
If it feels right,
Maybe you and your creative part can dance,
Expressing your inner feelings through movement,
If that's applicable to you.
When the time feels right,
Return with your creative part to your initial place in the sanctuary.
Ask if there are any actions or steps that it suggests for your life right now.
If there's anything else that it wants to share,
Take this moment to listen.
You can stay in your sanctuary for as long as you like,
Remaining with your creative part.
But if it is time to leave,
Imagine walking back up the path together.
Know that your creative self is always with you,
A part of you that you can call upon whenever you need inspiration or guidance.
Slowly become aware of your body.
Feel the surface that you are lying on and take a few moments to reorient yourself to the present moment.
When you are ready,
Gently open your eyes and return to the place that you're at.
If you feel inspired,
You can take some time to create that inner sanctuary that you saw,
Maybe by using colors on paper or even using pictures to make a collage that looks and feels like the one that you saw in this meditation.
This is so that you can then connect with it every time that you look at this picture to remind you of the creative energy flow that is always within you.
Happy creations!
