    Sit With: Abundant Full Moon Meditation

    In this meditation we embrace the full moon. We will come through an abundant, full breath practice to feel the spaciousness within. Then, we will contemplate embodying an abundant mindset to support our creative way of being. Inspiration from Rick Rubin's book The Creative Act: A Way of Being. "The recognition of abundance fills us with hope that our brightest ideas still await us and our greatest work is yet to come." -Rick Rubin Questions For Inquiry: 1. What creative projects or way of being feels abundant and full right now? 2. How can you start to complete and release your work, trusting that more ideas are waiting to move through you? 3.

    Sit With: Persistence

    In this episode, we ground in simplicity. Meditation is simple, and yet it takes a practice of persistence. Today we focus the attention at the tip of nose and observe thoughts that take us away from the present moment. It is through persistent practice that we build the muscles of our psyche so we can access more awareness and creativity in our daily lives. Questions for Inquiry: 1. As you focus on the breath, what thoughts arise? 2. Are you able to let them go, reset, and bring the attention back to breath? This is the hard work! This is the practice of persistence. 3. What daily rituals are helping you develop the habit of awareness? How is this supporting your creativity?

    Sit With: Inner and Outer Soundscape

    In this practice we use sound as a focal point for our meditation. We first listen for the sounds around us, as they come and go. Simply observe and let go. Then we shift to the inner soundscape, exploring sensation, emotions, and patterns of thought. Questions for Inquiry: 1. We often use the breath as a focus point in meditation. How was it to use sound? 2. What external sounds did you observe? What internal sounds did you observe? 3. As a creative person, where does your inspiration and content come mostly come from? If external, practice using internal material this week. If you normally engage with internal material, practice using external.
