The Practice of Creation Meditation
The spiritual practice of Creation Meditation invites you to turn your attention inward, and in so doing, transform yourself. The practice includes two parts: Meditation and Creative Expression.
Meditation
The nature of the mind for most people includes a high amount of distraction and division. Generally, the mind wanders and cannot stay still. Meditation, when practiced consistently, can help attention rest in the present moment for longer periods of time. Using a point of focus in meditation, such as the breath, helps attention gain one-pointedness, which in turn refines awareness. As awareness develops, we can slowly become conscious of what is unconscious in us and experience transformation.
Creative Expression
Creative Expression is defined here as giving outer expression to the inner experience. This practice is called Creation Meditation because what arises from within is considered to be Creation or Nature. The creative force is not only what we use to create poems and paintings; it is the driving force of the universe. With a practice of Creation Meditation, you can become receptive to the vitality within and intimate with this vitality. You can open to the intelligence of Nature. A deepening relationship with your inner experience and what is naturally arising facilitates an ever-more conscious participation in the evolution of your life.
