Welcome to a guided meditation focused on **unlocking creativity** and **inner vision**. 

It begins with breath awareness to promote relaxation, followed by a **balancing breath technique** to calm the nervous system. 

You will then visualize and engage with your inner consciousness while mentally repeating the sound of **AUM**, ultimately planting an **intention** for your creative journey. 

The session concludes by inviting you to capture insights through writing, allowing your newfound clarity to flow into your work.

Welcome. Find a comfortable seated position, allowing your spine to be long and straight, yet relaxed.

Gently close your eyes. Rest your hands comfortably on your knees or in your lap.

This is a time for you to set aside the outer world and journey inward, to the source of your creativity.

Begin by bringing your awareness to your breath. Don't try to change it. Simply notice the natural rhythm of your inhalation and exhalation.

With each inhale, feel a sense of calm entering your body. With each exhale, feel a release of any tension.

Bring your awareness to the physical sensations of your body. Feel the points of contact between your body and the chair or floor.

Now, bring all of your attention to the very center of your head, as if you are looking inward from behind your eyes.

We will now practice a simple breath technique to balance the hemispheres of your brain and calm your nervous system.

Using your right hand, gently place your index and middle finger on your forehead.

You will use your thumb to close your right nostril, and your ring finger to close your left nostril.

Begin by closing your right nostril with your thumb, and inhale slowly and deeply through your left nostril.

Now, close your left nostril with your ring finger, releasing your thumb from the right nostril, and exhale fully through your right nostril.

Close the right nostril with your thumb, open the left, and exhale through the left nostril.

This is one round. Let's continue for three more rounds at your own pace: Inhale left, exhale right. Inhale right, exhale left.

Excellent. Release the hand back to your lap and allow your breathing to return to its natural, smooth rhythm.

Now, gently, and without any strain, direct your inner gaze upward to the point between your eyebrows.

Imagine your consciousness is rising to a quiet observation deck at the very center of your forehead.

Feel your awareness collecting here, in this space of potential. Imagine this spot as a vast, dark, and silent movie screen.

To help anchor your focus, we will use a simple sound. With your attention at the center of your forehead, mentally hear the sound, the vibration, of the syllable AUM.

Not out loud. Just in your mind. Aaaaauuuuummmm.

Now, let the mantra fade away. Rest in the pure silence and stillness you have created.

And now, from this place of deep stillness and openness, we will gently plant a seed of intention.

Softly, in the quiet of your own mind, pose this question to the vast consciousness within you: 'Show me the next true step for my story.'

And as we rest here, we connect with the source of all creativity. Let these words resonate in your heart, if they feel true for you.

'To the great and silent Consciousness from which all things arise, The will of the universe that moves through stars and stories alike, I offer my openness.'

Slowly, gently, begin to bring your awareness back. Release the focus from between your eyebrows.

Become aware of your breathing once more. Feel the air filling your lungs.

Become aware of your physical body sitting in the room. Notice the sounds around you.

Gently wiggle your fingers and toes, bringing gentle movement back into the body.

When you feel ready, at your own pace, slowly and gently open your eyes, bringing the clarity and calm from your inner journey back into the room with you.

Do not rise quickly. Take a moment. Have your journal or computer nearby.

The final step of this practice is to capture what you received. Without judgment, write the first word, the first image, the first line that comes to you.
