In order to discover our creativity, we need to be deeply present.

In the moment of deepest immersion, there may be no words, no running commentary.  This stillness which allows us to genuinely experience all that we see, smell, sense, hear.

Jack Kornfield, a famous meditation teacher, once described what can happen during meditation as ‘creativity attacks’.  The mind, as it settles into a more spacious realm, can begin to allow insights and inspiration to bubble up like a mountain spring.

This bubbling up is not a disturbance.  Once the meditation has finished, sit quietly with paper and pen, and drink from your own, original spring.
