I enjoy my own creativity
I am blessed with a vivid imagination
I love to express myself in creative ways
I enjoy my own imaginative responses to the world as I see and feel it

Imagine yourself in a wonderful room … a room surrounded by windows looking out on to countryside … In this room there are many small areas, and you can move freely around the room trying each of the areas to see how you feel . . .

Here on the left is a large piece of paper with pens and pencils, a small studio for drawing and sketching . . . Another area has an easel and paints set out ready for you, the artist, to take up … Another has clay for you to handle and form into shapes or pots . . . Another has a word processor ready for your fingers to create images in poetry or prose . . . Yet another has many engineering tools for the inventor . . . Another has cameras and photographic equipment . . .

Just spend some time moving around and trying them all … these are just some of the areas into which you may choose to channel your own creativity, and where no one else need judge or approve.

Only your opinion matters, and the joy of translating the inner world of the imagination into a form or expression that suits you Which feels most stimulating, most exciting, and most comfortable?

Become more and more aware that everyone has a creative ability, to tell stories, to create beauty, to capture a moment . . . Imagine yourself using one of the areas in this marvelous room, or indeed finding another area not yet described … in order to create your response to the world around you, or your inner world. Be aware of the feeling of having time and energy to channel into this creative activity. Be aware of the focus of attention that this creates for you; nothing else seems to matter . . . but the ability to utilize your innate creativity . . . and the joy that comes when something tangible forms in front of you.

For many the process is more exciting than the end product – which gives you the greater satisfaction?

Sometimes we drive smoothly and happily along a road, we come to traffic lights on red and have to pause. The creative flow can be like that too, but the lights turn to amber and then green and off we go, just as you will when that temporary block dissolves.

Rekindling your creativity is one of the very tangible benefits of meditation techniques like this – all you need to do is practice the technique on a regular basis and your creativity will come back in bounds.

Enjoy your creativity and imaginative power, and translate it into the world around you. You know that you can do it, for your own sake, for its sake, free of the need to please anyone else but yourself. There are so many different ways to express one’s creativity.
