As stated on the “Meditation
Concepts and Principles for Creativity” Home Page: The second
area addressed is understanding. To access and release the creative
power that we need to create what we desire, we each need to
ultimately become a creative force true to ourselves and in full
alignment with the truth within our being. To do that we need to
develop those techniques that work best for us.
We can borrow from another. But, if we wish to claim our birthright
as the creative beings that we are, we must take what we borrow and
make it our own. It is much the way we eat food. We must eat the
food and take it inside and digest it. In digesting it we take what
is useful and then discard the remained.
So too anything we use. We must take what is given inside and digest
it. If we don’t digest it, we simply become a copy of what is given
to us and create our world in the image of another. The
understanding provided here will help you to understand the creative
power inherent within meditation and related techniques. Then,
within that understanding you can digest any technique and use what
is useful and consistent with your truth and discard the rest. (More

The key to understanding meditation is that is it a
conscious focus of our attention and awareness. As such it is
the door way to becoming a conscious creator.
If you look at most meditation practices, they are a coupling of two
things. One is the development of the mental discipline to focus our
attention and awareness . The second is it develops a way to insert
a thought and to hold focus on that thought. The meditative position
tends to be a sitting position of some type. Then there are
variation of the sitting position by the way we sit and the way we
place our hands and fingers to develop what are called “mudras.” As
one varies the body position and/or incorporates movement, we move
into yoga and yogic positions. If we incorporate activities such as
directed movement into the yogic practice you move toward practices
like the martial arts. But in the end they all are about developing
the mental discipline to keep focused and hold a specific thought
while coupling body position and/or movement with the manifestation
of that thought.
If you look carefully, all of the religious, spiritual, meditative,
yogic, martial arts, and similar practices are about focusing our
attention and awareness onto, or into, a specific thought and/or a
specific way of being. Creation is simply the translation of our
thoughts into experiences. The question is who’s thoughts do we
manifest. Do we manifest those that are truly our? Do we manifest
those who have programmed us early and through our life? Or, do we
manifest the thoughts of those authorities and teachers who give us
guidance and expect us to follow it? The intent of the Releasing
Your Unlimited Creativity meditation approach is that you manifest
your thoughts, especially those thoughts you hold at the deepest
levels of your being.
The only single point that needs to be made and understood about
meditation is mindfulness and the awareness of what is in our mind
and what you feel. Mind ultimately interprets anything you sense or
feel. The key to becoming a conscious creator is to become aware of
your thoughts and what you are feeling with those thoughts. We need
to become aware of what thoughts we have and the feeling that goes
with them. We need to become aware of what we are doing when we have
those thoughts. We need to become aware if our thoughts and feeling
are really in alignment with what we should be doing. Or, are our
thoughts and feeling telling us we should be doing something
different or that we want to be doing something different. We need
to become aware of what is inside us at each and every level of our
being.
The way to achieve this end of course is practice. It is not about
doing some particular meditation technique, program or teacher, but
it can be. It is about learning to become observant of our thoughts
and feelings and become that
detached witness as we observe. It is become very aware of our
thoughts and what we feel to know with those thoughts sever who and
what we are and those the don’t serve us. Then be mindful and aware
to choose those that serve what we desire to create as often as
possible and dismissing the remainder.
