Meditation for writers #1

My biggest problem when I sit down to write is being relaxed, letting go, and writing without a filter. Without judgment. Without second guessing myself. Finding that true connection between what you feel inside and the pen on a piece of paper.

On that note, I'm working on a quick 5-minute meditation for myself, to get myself in the right headspace when I sit down to write.

It's especially important for me, because writing is only one part of what I'm doing with my life. My writing time is scheduled during the day. Writing isn't my full-time job so I don't have say 10am-3pm blocked out solely for writing. I need to get in quick, because I don't have a ton of time.

Here's what I have so far:

• Slow down. Feel the words coming from inside, coming out slowly. A direct connection from inside to the pen. No filter. Straight thoughts. All involves relaxing. Letting go. Don’t force it. What will be, will be. That's where your writing will come from. 

Love and life

One of the things that happens in these DMT trips, is they give you lessons on how to life live... They're all about love, love people, love you, love yourself, love everyone around you. Be kind. Don't worry about all the bullshit, just be nice to each other. Have fun, enjoy it. Spread it. And don't lie, don't deceive, don't deceive yourself, don't deceive anyone else, and don't lose perspective. You're going to be here, and then you're going to be there. And here, and there. And it's going to go on and on and on, it's this perpetual cycle that continues from birth to death, through infinity. And you're just an infinitesimal part of an endless cycle.

I came across this the other day and struck me as true words to live by. I'd like to put together a daily meditation based on this, what a wonderful way to start each day.
