Incubation - where we relax and let the alpha state take over. You consciously do nothing, and let the unconscious take over for a bit. Another method of tapping one s creativity is to practice the Zen art of Mindfulness. Flowing with the moment, experiencing everything around you, as if for the first time, helps to rid you of inner barriers, and allows your natural creativity to express itself. If you can imagine yourself effortlessly moving in and out among prismatic rays of light and hearing each person s musical notes join and harmonize with your own when you touch or pass them, you would have some idea of the unseen world.
Creativity is playful, innocent, and sensual.
It is difficult to think and act creatively if one is bound with worry, is hurried, or feels self-conscious. You need to learn to approach your creative ventures with abandonment, letting your inner nature flow through onto your medium of expression. You also need to tap the right side of your brain. The right brain way of knowing is usually through symbols, images, and metaphors. The right brain is the area of our intuition, musical, artistic, sexual, dreaming, imaginative, emotional, and spiritual ways of thinking and operating.
