Spring Washam guides us on a gentle visualization to help you tap into the joy, wonder, and possibility that creativity brings.
How To Do This Practice:
- Settle In: Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths to ground yourself in the present moment.
- Invite Creativity: Silently welcome the creative energy of the universe, setting the intention to open to inspiration and joy.
- Visualize the Light Channel: Imagine a tube of light running from the base of your spine through the crown of your head, connecting you to the sun, stars, and infinite creative source.
- Feel the Flow: Picture this light pouring into your body, filling every cell with energy, possibility, and imagination.
- Focus on the Heart: Shift your attention to your heart center, letting it glow with passion, and affirm: “My heart is the source of my creativity. I trust it.”
- Anchor and Affirm: Feel your body grounded and open, breathe deeply, and declare: “I am ready. I am creative. I am a vessel of joyful expression.”
