Melodic meditation 100 day challenge Day 67

Melodic meditation 100 day challenge.
Being pro active while recharging the batteries.

My personal challenge is to write 100 melodies in 100 days.
Each new melody is written during a 30 minute meditation.

Why you ask?

While writing I find there is an excess of negative self talk such as, these ideas are no good, maybe I have lost my inspiration, do I have writers block etc... Which is stressful and does not have a positive outcome, especially when I'm tired. Most of my best ideas have come from my subconscious and I have found the best time to let my subconscious come through is when I am meditating.

By combining writing and meditation I have found I am able to tap into my creative subconscious with greater ease. And even if a brilliant idea does not always come through at least I've had a chance to recharge my batteries.

In a nutshell, 'meditation is the goal and writing is the side effect'.

If you are interested try it yourself!

Here are the rules:
1. Choose a task that needs to be completed.
2. Create a short cycle movement that can be easily repeated with little effort.
3. Find a quite space, turn off mobile phone & any other distractions.
4. Meditation should last between 20-30 minutes without break.
5. Focus your mind on the task at hand & let go of all distracting thoughts such as judgement, this is most important.
6. No stimulants (Caffeine, alcohol etc…)
7. (Optional) Practice movement to a metronome set between 52 bpm & 80 bpm counting quietly.
