Transcendental Meditation for Creativity

Most of us lead hectic lives, facing stress every day. In this fast-paced world, it’s easy for the mind to become weighed down by mundane ideas such as daily errands, local supermarket trips, work schedule, and constant self-criticism. When our mind is in the survival mode, it’s impossible to release our creative ideas. However, creativity is the foundation for progress and prosperity.

Our creative thoughts reside in the deep in our subconscious but since we are fully immersed in our daily routine, they have no chance to resurface.

Transcendental Meditation helps to relax the mind and achieve the state of calmness and serenity that helps us to access our creative energy, allowing it to float to the surface of our consciousness, allowing it to blossom.

Flow state is a sensation when your mind is free of distracting thoughts and fully immersed in what you are doing.  As action and awareness sync to produce easy momentum, your mind is fully concentrated on the present. Some individuals refer to this state as being “in the zone.” This is the flow state, and it is available to everybody, whether they are engaged in a physical exercise, a creative endeavour, or day-to-day work.

The goal of Transcendental Meditation is focusing on the present moment. We do this by anchoring ourselves in the present moment when we repeat the mantra. The act of repeating the mantra allows us to unwind while also focusing our attention on the sound. It drives motivation, and removes all our doubts and inner barriers. When our mind is relaxed, creative ideas can flourish, joy can increase, and problems can be addressed more easily.

There has been research done expressly to test the cognitive flexibility and capacity to address problems in innovative ways among people who meditate. According to the study, people who never meditate exhibited lack of cognitive flexibility compared to regular meditators, and they also had a propensity to adapt complicated or obsolete solutions to simple situations based on previous experiences, whereas individuals who meditated regularly looked for innovative ways to address problems and were more inclined to look at them from different perspectives.  

So, if you are facing creative challenges, consider practising Transcendental Meditation. Experts at Transcendental Meditation North West London will assist you in choosing your own mantra and guide you on your way to reaching the state of inner peace.
