Creative Energy Relaxation Technigue
-
When we become so busy with our day to day lives, our creative, expressive, artistic sides often become shoved to the back shelf. With some of us, they are deeply hidden due to early childhood and criticisms that left us feeling incompetent in this area. This meditation is meant to touch in with those abilities.
Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Hold the breath for a moment, slowly let out all the air from your lungs.
Take another deep breath, hold it for four counts, then gradually blow it out between the lips. Relax and let go of all the thoughts that are in your mind for the moment.
Find yourself out of doors in a large grassy field. Allow yourself to feel as if you are shrinking smaller and smaller and smaller. If this feeling is uncomfortable to you, stop before you become distressed. Relax and enjoy the weightlessness that comes over you as a gentle wind picks you up.
Feel yourself rising like dew up into the clouds. The clouds are white and very soft. In a moment, you notice that you have become a drop of rain. Feel the joy of being wet and slippery. As the cloud becomes heavier with many raindrops, you slowly begin to float down to the earth where you land near a rosebush.
You are absorbed into the ground now, perhaps feeling the soil against you for a moment. You are still moving, though, and you become absorbed by the roots of the rosebush. You feel yourself moving slowly through the veins of the roots, then feel the warmth of the sun coming over you as you emerge into the stem of the plant.
Upward, upward you are lifted until you finally find yourself flowing into the bud of a beautiful pink rose. At first it feels a little tight, but then, you feel as if your arms and legs are stretching out--you are the rosebud. You are tightly closed at first, just as your creative thoughts are tightly hidden in your unconscious mind
But you allow the flow of the energies to come forward, just as the raindrops nourish the rosebud, and slowly, very slowly, you, the rosebud, begin to open.
Feel the beautiful energy flow into you as you open a little at a time, allowing your creative centers to open and send forth the nourishment that comes from your unconscious mind. Allow yourself to see the kaleidoscope of images that rush into your mind. Perhaps you see colors or faces or places, that is alright. Know that your creativity is opening up to allow you new freedom of thought and action.
Perhaps you find that there are memories from a time long ago rushing into your mind, and perhaps there are tears of joy as you unlock the hidden mysteries of your creativity. See youself again as the rose, opening further and further until you have become a vibrant flower, fully aware of the beauty that resides deep within you. Keep the image in your mind. This is your true nature; creative, artistic, beautiful.
Now it is time to come back to this place. Feel yourself becoming larger once again, very slowly. You are back in your body in your normal form. When you are ready, take a deep breath, relax, and open your eyes.
This is a wonderful way for artists and writers and all types of creative blocks to be lifted. If you are at a block with your creative process, doing this three times a week for a few weaks should allow the CREATIVE energy to begin to flow once more. Many times I hear from my clients in the Film Industry They feel at a standstill. They do this to be bursting with "juice" again.
