Creative meditation is very important in respect to transforming and developing a new type of personality. Through Creative meditation we can build new thought patterns and psychological qualities.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

When we meditate and use creative meditation we work with the psychological function of <\/span><\/span>imagination,<\/span><\/span><\/em> because it facilitates the arising of creative energy, and imagination itself is further developed. Imagination, of course, is associated with superstition, naivety and unreality, notions such as Santa Claus and other childish ideas. But like all psychological functions, our imagination is as mature as our level of consciousness. It is important to distinguish imagination from fantasy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Imagination is a powerful creative force. Many spiritual traditions use visualizations as part of their contemplative practices. Advertisers know the psychological effect that images have, especially when shown repeatedly. Energy follows thought, but it also follows images. This brings us to the topic of Creative Meditation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Creative Meditation<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Is based on visualization and draws on the energy of the creative river. My practice with the sun in the heart is an example of this form of meditation. Through visualization we form images in the psyche that carry the energies attributed to them. It is one of the most important tools that our inner life artist can use to decorate the temple of our personality. This practice is necessary for the Soul to manifest as through it a new personality can be slowly formed in which a higher consciousness can express itself.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Visualization is particularly important during certain stages of this meditation. One is the pre-contemplative stage when meditating on a specific topic. Metaphorically, this is similar to hiking up to a mountain top to sit in silence \u2013 the aim is to still our thoughts, feelings and sensations so they might be harmonized and made receptive to the Soul’s inspiration. There are many ways to do this, but the essential elements of this process are balance and harmonization.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For most meditations I follow these stages: centering, ascension, meditation and anchoring. These stages ensure that we meditate from our highest level of consciousness. We begin by raising our awareness to the superconscious realm, for which we can use the image of hiking up a mountain. This incidentally helps communication between the brain, our emotions, our mind, the conscious observer (or self) and the Soul. Visualizations help develop this communication, and gradually our conscious connection with the Soul is strengthened.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
