# Introduction
Welcome to the Meditation Podcast. This is Jesse Stern with Episode 152, Reiki for Creativity.
For those of us in creative freelance professions, the last few years have hit hard. The pandemic, advances in AI, and economic political chaos have significantly altered our career paths. Many are left stunned, silent, and struggling. In today's meditation, we use Reiki to restore and heal our creative voices.

# Meditation
Begin in any comfortable position.
Allow your eyes to drift closed.
Turn your attention inward.
Observe your breath and observe the sensations within your body with each inhale ... and each exhale.
Reiki begins with a prayer:
Let this Reiki treatment serve the highest good for all involved.
Let a spirit of healing prevail.
Let all spirits and ancestors that support this spirit of healing and the highest good for all involved Remain and all other spirits be silent.
Place your palms over your eyes.
If that feels uncomfortable, you can optionally place your palms on your forehead or the top of your head.
Feel the warmth of your hands Touching your head or your face.
the warmth of your head or face touching your hands.
Reiki is the life force of the universe and it operates independent of time or space.
Think of your creativity, and bring to mind one way that it has been blocked or that you feel blocked in your creativity.
Continue observing your breath.
Move your hands to your upper chest, touching your base of your throat or your clavicles or your upper pectoral muscles.
Feel the warmth radiating from your hands, and from your body.
We exist through the creation of each moment, this moment.
Our ability to create - our ability to manifest - can feel or become blocked by grief, trauma, life circumstances.
Place your palms over your solar plexus and lower chest.
There's no need to relive it or dwell on why.
Just feel the warmth radiating from your hands into your body, and from your body into your hands.
The universal life force of Reiki, the creative force of life itself, is ever present.
It heals itself.
And through its own self-healing, we are healed.
Restored.
Place your palms on your soft belly near the navel breathe here feel the warmth of your hands on your body and the warmth of your body on your hands.
Place your palms on your hips, hip creases, or groin.
Feel the warmth of your palms radiating on your body, and the warmth of your body radiating into your palms; and allow that warmth to circulate throughout your body.
Growing and expanding with each inhale, circulating with each exhale.
Release your hands, place them anywhere on your body, or rest them in your lap, or at your sides.
Take gentle, restful breaths.
With gentle, restful thoughts.
The Reiki's healing energy circulates throughout your body and being, without any effort or control on your part.
It belongs to life itself.
Return to this meditation any time that you want to remember or restore your innate life-given creativity.
And as this meditation comes to a close, gently wiggle your fingers and toes.
Rock your head from side to side.
And whenever you're ready, open your eyes.
