Welcome,
Dear one.
This is your self-led morning practice,
A sacred space to begin your day connected and anchored in self-energy.
Each morning we meet one of the original qualities of your essence,
The natural qualities that live within your soul.
And today we awaken creativity,
The quality of self that opens you to spontaneity,
Play,
And the freedom to express without perfection or pressure.
Take a moment to anchor into your seat.
Let your breath find its natural rhythm,
Flowing in and out.
With each inhale,
Arrive a little more,
With each exhale,
Release what is not needed.
As you settle inward,
Bring your awareness to how your system feels this morning.
Just meet yourself as you are,
With tenderness,
With curiosity.
Creativity is a quality we access when we are not seeking perfection.
When we are losing our grip on the outcome,
Release the agenda and step out of our own way.
Creativity arrives when the inner controllers soften,
When the mind relaxes and when play becomes possible.
So,
Take a deep breath in and as you exhale,
Let your system know it's ok to not be perfect.
It's ok to experiment.
It's ok to try something new.
Let those words meet your inner world.
Now,
Gently turn towards the parts of you that may tighten around creativity.
The ones that worry about doing things right,
Fear being judged.
That want everything to be perfect or predictable.
Let these parts know there is no evaluation today.
No need to perform.
No need to put pressure.
No need to impress or produce.
Let these parts know you don't need to be perfect to create.
There is no agenda.
Let go.
Let your perfectionists,
Planners,
Self-doubters rest for a moment.
Let them exhale and then see if something in you opens as those parts soften and relax.
If there is space for new ideas,
Fresh impulses,
Unexpected self-expressions.
Now,
Imagine yourself doing something you would love.
Something creative,
Expressive,
Spontaneous,
Truly alive.
Maybe it's painting,
Writing,
Dancing,
Crafting,
Playing with your kids,
Cooking,
Whatever comes is perfect.
And imagine how it would feel to create without restriction.
Without second thoughts.
Without hesitation.
How would it feel to create without tightening or self-critique?
How would it feel?
To let the quality of creativity flow through you.
Allowing this creative energy of self move you.
Allow yourself to feel how freeing it is to express without need to control.
How freeing it is to follow the impulse,
To trust the spontaneity of your inner world.
Let yourself taste that feeling.
Let it spread through your body.
Invite the energy,
The quality of creativity to move through you,
To flow in your breath,
In your heartbeat,
Through your imagination.
Allow this creative energy to rise from your belly,
Expand through your chest and pour into your mind like the light entering the room.
Feel it move through your arms,
Fingers,
Your throat,
Your eyes.
Let it animate you,
Let it lead.
For these few moments,
Be in a state of flow,
Open,
Playful,
Unguarded.
Let creative energy take the lead.
And now very gently begin returning to your surroundings again,
Sensing the air,
Hearing the sounds,
Noticing things around you.
Let the quality you've touched today,
Creativity,
Become the energy that guides your day.
Let it infuse your actions,
Your choices,
Your voice and the way you meet this world.
Bring one hand to your heart and speak to self.
I lead from creativity.
I start from creativity.
Take one last deep breath and as you exhale,
Feel yourself open,
Playful and ready to meet the day from yourself.
Thank you for practicing with me.
