Life goals and Creative Imagination:
Meditation is not new to us… but performing meditation in a different way is really trending nowadays. One of the trending subjects is creative imagination meditation and benefits. Meditation is already proved to be effective in achieving life goals.

You can perform creative imagination meditation anywhere and anytime you want. Whenever you feel low esteem or someone messes up with your mind… perform creative imagination meditation. The minimum duration for creative imagination meditation is 3 minutes but you can stretch the meditation up to 20 minutes… depends on your time limit.

For example, 3 minutes of meditation 3 times a day can be really effective. In this way, you can set your duration and times according to your preferences.

For better explanation and understanding, I have divided the creative imagination meditation into 3 stages.
Stage 1: Focus
During the first stage, get a piece of paper and a pen. Now, write all the thoughts, feelings, and images which strike into your mind. The purpose of this activity is to get out all the creativity from your mind. Focus on what comes to your mind.
Note: while doing this activity I suggest you bring on the positive thoughts, feelings, and images.
Stage 2: Concentrate
After bringing out the creative side of yours, it is time to create all the images and thoughts in your mind now. Hold onto the best memories and draw powerful images that bring positivity.
For example, when I was young I went to a hill station wherein nature was tremendous, birds were chirping, and water was falling from the mountain… how serene and calm it was!
Imagine something like this… which brings on the positivity.
Stage 3: Relax
After focusing and concentrating on your creative imagination, the third stage is to relax. Relax your mind and body as much as possible, build and strong and clear image on your mind. Close your eyes completely and focus on your breathing. Breathe slowly and focus on your serene view. Enjoy for 3 minutes max.
