Creativity and Meditation What is the connection between meditation and creativity ? I want to share my thoughts and my way of living creativity. My way of seeing music, art, thoughts and life is, that everything is already there you just need to open up your mind to see or feel it and then start to create. There is a prominent example for that way of thinking. When Michelangelo, the famous italian artist was asked how he created his famous David statue he answered that the statue was always there he just needed to remove the unnecessary parts from the stone. It's the same with music. Music is something which has always been there you just need to be able to hear the music. One can not create something which has not been there - it's part of nature and part of everything. And how do you hear that music ? Here comes the meditation - by switching all other noises in your conscious. That can work with meditation or what I often did with long jogging tours. I can not tell how many songs I composed while I was jogging. The main technique to open yourself up for music and switching off everything else which disturbs the creative process. It can also happen that you hear music while you are sleeping. I compose quite a few songs like this. The picture you are seeing is taken at one of my favorite meditation spots out in nature on a hill. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Was ist die Verbindung zwischen Meditation und Kreativität? Ich möchte meine Gedanken und meine Art, Kreativität zu leben, mit Dir teilen. Meine Art, Musik, Kunst, Gedanken und das Leben zu sehen, ist, dass alles schon da ist, man muss nur seinen Geist öffnen, um es zu sehen oder zu fühlen und dann anfangen zu erschaffen. Es gibt ein prominentes Beispiel für diese Denkweise. Als Michelangelo, der berühmte italienische Künstler, gefragt wurde, wie er seine berühmte David-Statue erschaffen hat, antwortete er, dass die Statue schon immer da war, er musste nur die unnötigen Teile aus dem Stein entfernen. Genauso ist es mit der Musik. Musik ist etwas, das schon immer da war, man muss nur in der Lage sein, die Musik zu hören. Man kann nicht etwas erschaffen, was nicht schon da war - es ist Teil der Natur und Teil von allem. Und wie kann man diese Musik hören? Hier kommt die Meditation - indem Du alle anderen Geräusche in Deinem Bewusstsein ausschaltest. Das kann mit Meditation funktionieren oder was ich oft bei langen Joggingtouren gemacht habe. Ich kann nicht sagen, wie viele Lieder ich während des Joggens komponiert habe. Die wichtigste Technik ist, sich für die Musik zu öffnen und alles andere auszuschalten, was den kreativen Prozess stört. Es kann auch passieren, dass man Musik hört, während man schläft. Ich komponiere ziemlich viele Songs auf diese Weise. Das Bild, das Sie sehen, ist an einem meiner Lieblingsmeditationsplätze in der Natur auf einem Hügel aufgenommen.

This is a song which I composed for the purpose of creating a healing effect for a near and dear person but it might work for anybody who needs yellow. I developed a method to heal mentaly over the years. It is very simple and anyone can do it. You just need to visalize your body, your silhouette - now if you can visualize it, seek for dark spots. Now meditate to put light into it and try to make them disappear. Sometimes you need to take a few attempts when the spots come back. This song here helps to visualize the light which you can use for this purpose. The 2nd part is to get your emotions flow freely - and this music is created to make them flow easier. For sure this is not a replacment for medical treatment but it can support your body and your health and might help that you don't need medical treatment anymore.
