 Use the following
technique to wind down and relax. I suggest that you read the following script
through a few times, so that you learn it well
before you practise it. Feel free to adapt it to
suit your own aims.
Go to a quiet room
where there are no distractions. Take a moment
to get in a comfortable position, close your
eyes and focus your attention on your breathing.
Then begin breathing slowly and deeply in
through your nose and out through your mouth
in a circular breathing motion. Breathe away any
tension left in your body with every slow
out-breath, and allow yourself to relax more and
more.
Continue this
breathing pattern a dozen or more times and just
clear away any unwanted thoughts, so that your
mind becomes still and quiet. Dont worry if you
get the odd unwanted thought, just re-centre
your mind and allow the thought to drift away
again. Just focus on the stillness of the
moment.
Now as you lie there
in this stillness, feeling centred and very
calm, connect with a part of you that is
responsible for your creativity: the fun,
creative part of you that is imaginative and
carefree; the part that likes music and
laughter. Take a moment to really feel this part
of you and make a strong connection with it.
Now silently ask
this creative part of you for guidance. Take a
couple of minutes to do this. Ask this part for
ideas for new ventures. Dont force it; just
allow the ideas to come. Sometimes you will get
ideas and inspiration later. The key is that you
connect with this creative part now and open up
that channel. When you do this you will find
inspiration within you and you will feel
motivated to create and manifest new things in
your life.
Take five minutes
here to be still and centred and to allow your
creative ideas to come forward.
After this point
affirm to yourself that you will feel more
creative and inspired in your daily life and
that you can achieve many great things. State
these affirmations as a reality now in the
present tense. For example:
I find it easy
to draw out my inner talents and express myself
in many different ways.
I have an
infinite source of creativity, which I draw upon
to create many great things in my life.
I draw
opportunities towards me and manifest many
wonderful things in my life.
I take on new
challenges with a fearless attitude.
I believe in
myself and in my own ability.
When you state
these phrases, draw the words inside you and
really believe they are a reality. Put your
feelings into each phrase. You may want to add
your own present tense phrases for creativity.
Then, when you are
ready to finish, allow you mind to clear and
count slowly upwards from one to ten, and open
your eyes and come back to full waking
consciousness:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
You will find that
new creative ideas will come to you now that you
have opened up this channel. It may be that new
ideas will arrive out of the blue a day or two
later. Practise this exercise often when you are
looking for ideas or inspiration.
Repeat this
technique every day initially until you feel you
are expressing your creativity freely.
