Don’t you want to be a unique voice out there? If you want to set yourself apart in your performances it is critical that you create an environment of creativity.
There are so many ways that we can take this. Let’s just explore one avenue for developing and maintaining a creative environment.
The concept that I’d like to begin a discussion on is the concept of flow. As I understand and experience flow it is something that expresses an openness and willingness to go beyond our artificial barriers, fears, thoughts of limit or discouragement. It is an intentional decision to explore ideas without the normal limitations that we put upon ourselves.
Well so how do we do this? There are many ways and techniques. One that I personally utilize is spiritual-focused. Most faith traditions utilize some sort of spiritual centering/focus/quieting of the mind to reach a different place of consciousness or connection.
Creating or even allowing this state is critical to creating a sense of flow which opens up the floodgates of creativity.
