Opening Your Creative Channel

Love
expansion; comes by accepting ones' self just as he or she is and every moment, just as it is, staying focused inside one's heart or center
giving

affirmations for self-acceptance
meditation--one-pointedness
take walk; get up and move; do something else for a while
associate with other creative people; stay away from negative people
relax and let go; let go of past limitations and programming
don't be afraid to try new things every day; don't keep doing the same thing all the time; don't get stagnant
don't worry about what other people will say
develop love and compassion for all beings--that is the root of all expansion
become a tree or a flower, etc.; that opens new creative channels
teach others what you know, and more will be given to you
train your senses to become more acute and aware; go through each sense and become aware (sight, smell, touch)
deep breathing releases stagnation
chanting or toning
spend time in nature
writing with left or non-dominant hand
raise your vibrations higher, above the problem, and the problem dissolves; stay in love with each precious moment so no negativity can invade
when feeling negative, go outside at night & gaze at the stars--it will always make us aware of how small we are & how big God is
essential oils
alternate nostril breathing
relax when tired--do not tax the creative channel

centering on an emotion inside; let the emotion mold a theme; chose an emotion that inspires and uplifts; what do you want to communicate?
observe nature; she can teach us
feel all the senses; they seem to help us go deeper inside
lay down on the grass; become the grass--this leads us to a higher height
allow images to form in the mind's eye
take a paper and pencil with you at all times to jot down ideas and inspiration or a tape recorder for stream of consciousness--written and speech
