Let's begin with a few deep cleansing breaths.
If you can,
Sense your breath in your body.
With your next in-breath,
Imagine a sense of calm in the body.
With your next out-breath,
Bring about a subtle and gentle smile.
Breathing in,
A sense of calm.
At your own pace,
Begin now to shift into a more natural rhythm of breathing.
But remain an awareness on the breath.
Perhaps tug you in a certain direction.
Or perhaps you experience tension in the body.
Lovingly bring your awareness back to this beautiful breath.
In popular practice,
It can be common to avoid our experience.
So the invitation here is to fully experience your experience.
Emotions flow in like the waves,
Or sensations come as they do.
Perhaps notice now just in this subtle shift.
Notice your capacity to be present.
You may notice an increase in your natural capacity to have a little more strength in holding yourself.
What if the true source of inspiration and creativity.
What if that true source of inspiration,
Innovation,
Creativity is not found off in a cabin where the weather is below 70 degrees.
What if the true source of creativity is right here,
Right now.
I invite you now to shift your awareness to the center of your chest.
Perhaps dropping from the head side or a floating leaf.
Use your imagination.
Or perhaps you come to the heart from the belly or the body's up into the space of the heart.
We're shifting our attention not to the physical or emotional heart,
But the spiritual heart that can arrive to this spiritual center of awareness.
Imagine that this center of your spiritual awareness is naturally connected to that which is around you.
From here you're naturally connected to the people that mean most to you.
It may feel as though it's hard to tell where you end and presence begins.
We'll rest here for a few moments in this open hearted,
Pure awareness.
And as we rest in this silence,
Open your heart to names or faces that may arise.
Perhaps there are people you have mentioned you would pray for or send healing energy towards.
When or if faces,
Names,
Or people arise in this sacred heart space.
Also be open to insights,
Images,
Sensations,
And feelings.
And again,
When you begin to wander in and out of this sacred spiritual center,
The true source of creativity and inspiration can be accessed and found here.
