Welcome to the lecture for the magic blank canvas. This is one of my favorite meditation because it opens the doors to creativity, whether it's writing a book, making artwork, or making music, or just trying to get ideas to solve problems, this is a really wonderful meditation. And this meditation can be used exceptionally well for children also. So one thing I do besides make online courses for meditation is that I write children's books. And I go give presentations to whatever kids are gathered at schools, libraries, etc. and I teach them about the magic of creativity, and what we do in those exercises that we use this very meditation to help kids get creative ideas, and it's absolutely amazing what kids come up with.

So it can also be absolutely amazing what adults come up with too, so I think you'll like it. Now this meditation I use very frequently and how I do it is that I walk along Instead of seeing a magic blank canvas, what I see is just kind of a blank space. And it's where creative ideas can come through. So here's kind of how the meditation works. We're going to get really relaxed and very peaceful. And then you're just going to see in your mind's eye with your eyes closed, either a blank canvas or something like a TV screen, or maybe even a stage a theater, or the the curtains are opening.

And then you're just going to allow your creativity to present itself to you. Now, it's good to have an idea before you go into the meditation, what kind of creativity you're interested in, whether it's music, or art, or writing or making a movie or whatever, and then you just sit back and you allow your creativity to come to you. Now, you can experience distracting thoughts. That's a very possible scenario. And if thoughts come in, either just let them come in like clouds and let them float through or actually follow them because sometimes your thoughts will have creative ideas that you never dreamed of. If you just pay attention to your thoughts, and also just kind of on a side note, if you are not visual, so if you close your eyes and you don't see anything, so I'm kind of like that.

Just allow yourself to create an open space where creative inspiration can come through. So with that said, let's go to this very magical meditation. I'll see you there.
