A brief word on inspiration- Ever wonder how others find inspiration so easily and not for you ? You may be looking too hard for it or overlooking it all together .
Inspiration can be found hanging out in plain sight , if you have eyes to see and ears to hear . Just in case you need a little help , and we all do at one time or another , here are a few simple tips on accessing inspiration for yourself :
● Engage in a quiet activity such as sketching , journaling or coloring .
● Clear some space-literally , clean off that desk , table or clean out that closet and make room for yumminess ! You never know what inspiration is hidden .
● Get up and move-go for a walk , do some yoga , a workout , play some music and dance , even !
● Do you already have an unfinished or unstarted creative project ? Now just may be the time to settle into it so you can share with the world .
I have created a brief guided meditation to help you tap into your chakras and feel the pathway of creative flow . Enjoy !
Find a quiet space and begin connecting with your breath : in through your nose , out through your mouth . Make sure you are bringing your breath all the way down into your pelvic area . And you are going to do that a few more times just deep and slow , you don ’ t want to get light-headed . Just kind of move and shift your shoulders , neck , your hips until you are comfortable and just feeling the tension releasing from your body .

Inspiration can be found hanging out in plain sight , if you have eyes to see and ears to hear .

Now I just want you to focus on that space , your inner vision track . That space right between your eyes , right in your middle forehead , the third eye . And as other thoughts come up just swipe them away , like you are closing the apps on your phone , just swipe them away . Until you bring yourself to a nice , peaceful , serene , zen environment .
In this zen-full space , you find yourself outside in the sunlight this or envision yourself soaking up the sun rays through a window . Feel the warmth upon your head and notice how you feel it as you bring your awareness down through the rest of your body , this alone helps in clearing and recharging your energy .
Like the sun , your inspiration first appears at your crown chakra where you connect with Divine Source Energy , and quickly moves to the third eye chakra where you receive the vision for your creation in the same way you get a picture in your mind while reading a story or a book .
