My good friend Martin recently told me of a new meditation for my "Ways to Alter Consciousness" blog. I tried it, and like it, so I will share it. It is well-known that meditation is one of the most effective ways to alter consciousness. This particular meditation begins with walking near the water or in nature and feeling your oneness as you walk with a leaf, a pine cone, a bug, a rock, etc. etc. It is designed to enhance creativity by achieving a state of 'universal oneness.' Now during this meditation, you want to avoid labels such as good/bad, clean/dirty etc. The idea is to feel at one with 'all of it.' So if you come across a wad of gum or beer bottle do not put any negative labels on then. Just pass by them with peace, knowing that they are part of the universe too. After that you want to sit in a quiet place, preferably near the water. You want to feel every sensation, the sounds, the smells and the sights. Be in the moment and in the now and practice mindfulness. Let your peace come and reside in you. After a while, get up and go back to a place where you can literally "Stare at the wall' It may be in your house or outside, as long as it is peaceful and quiet. At this point you will need a recorder, a sketch pad, or a notepad. You will keep your sense of oneness and peace, and simply stare at the wall. Do your best not to try to figure anything out. Just be there. Soon the universe will begin to work through you. Write, record, or sketch. Don't let your brain take over. If you feel your oneness slipping away, go back to staring and being at one with the wall. If you want to deepen the creative work that you do, and also have it come from a 'universal space', you will do this meditation. If you are like me, you will find it to be an immensely powerful way to alter consciousness in the creative realm. And this is always a good thing.
