Creative Workshop Breathwork/Meditation (seated position):
Start
by deepening your inhales and exhales -- Allow your mind to travel back
in time to visit the moments when your yoga practice fumbled (where
your mind wandered, or where a posture caused frustration). Breath into
these feelings that come up. --Release-- Remind yourself about the
reason that it is called a "yoga practice" not a "yoga perfect."
Thinking of your creative practice in broad terms - writing, drawing, singing, acting etc...
Again, travel back in time to the past to a place where your creative
practice fumbled. Whether it was from your own artist's block or from a
harsh critique of your work from someone else.
Observe your feelings and
take 3 deep breaths to release them.
Now
go back again in both your yoga and creative experiences and remember
being in the "flow" (you know, the space where hours fly by). Remember
the beauty of this space - breathe here. Remember what it was like to be
a kid.
No hesitation, no worry about doing it right, just living in the
moment.
Coming
into the present moment now, imagine being open to your own creative
energy- Take Risks -- Be Bold-- Reach into your intuition while
resisting the urge to be the judge.
As
you create, allow your mind to come back to your breath. Be aware of
the balance in your body- notice if you favor one side or the other.
Most importantly make this your own practice!
