Hello, I'm Elora, and I'll be guiding you on a journey to open your mind to create music and lyrics.
We will use the power of Japanese-like zen and nature to help you find the permission you need to create.
Let's begin by getting comfortable.
Find a position where you can relax and let go.
Close your eyes gently if it feels comfortable.
You don't have to force anything, just allow yourself to settle.
Now, let's start with a body scan.
Bring your awareness to your toes, noticing any sensations without judgment.
Feel the weight of your feet, the contact with the floor or chair.
Continue this scan up your legs, paying attention to the subtle shifts and sensations in your body.
Notice your breath as it moves through your body.
Feel your abdomen rising and falling.
As you continue to scan your body, you may notice tension or certain areas that feel different than others.
That's okay.
Just acknowledge those feelings without trying to change them.
Just breathe through them.
Let go of any tension you are carrying.
Breathe in peace and exhale it out, releasing it completely.
Now direct your attention to your hands.
Notice the subtle warmth and the weight of your hands resting gently by your side or in your lap.
Bring your awareness to your arms, letting go of any tension in your shoulders and upper back.
With each breath, you are deepening the relaxation and letting go of any barriers to your creativity.
Let your breath be steady and gentle, a gentle rhythm that connects you to yourself and to nature's rhythm.
Let go of any self-doubt or hesitation.
Begin to deepen your awareness of your heart area.
Feel the gentle rhythm of your heartbeat, a steady beat that connects you to life itself.
From your heart, feel compassion and gratitude for yourself and your creative process.
From your heart, let that feeling flow up into your throat and into your head.
Let go of any thoughts or words that are blocking your creativity.
Breathe in tranquility, and exhale any negativity.
Now, imagine yourself in a serene Japanese garden.
Notice the beauty around you.
The soft sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a gentle light that falls on a quiet stream.
The air is filled with the sweet scent of blossoms.
Feel the peace and tranquility wash over you.
Allow this setting to inspire your mind and open you to new ideas and possibilities.
Feel this peace and tranquility moving through your body.
You have permission to create.
You are worthy.
You are talented.
Begin to feel that permission move through your body, warming you from the inside out.
Feel the energy flowing through you as you embrace your creativity.
Now is your time to create.
See vivid colors and hear your music flowing through you.
Feel the rhythm of your songs and the flow of your lyrics.
Allow the creative energy to freely express itself through your songs.
Simply let it flow.
As your creative energy flows, just notice it.
Don't judge your creations, don't force anything.
Just let the energy flow.
Let your music and lyrics simply be.
In this space of permission, you can discover your true musical self.
Now, gently bring your awareness back to your body.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
Take a couple deep breaths.
When you're ready, open your eyes.
I'm looking forward to seeing you again next time.
