How to write creatively?

The deep desire of every author or writer , is to be able to write in a creative manner. Some thing which is unique and springs from the depth of the heart; just like a good song sung from the depth of the heart, touches everyone. So creative writing touches everyone deep
down under and one is tempted to read that masterpiece, again and again.

The term often misunderstood is that creativity is linked to the mind or intelligence, but this is a myth and has been proved wrong. Research has shown that most creative people are those, who are sensitive and act from their heart, rather than their intellect.

So to be a good creative writer, you need to improve your quotient of emotional intelligence, i.e .intelligence governed by the heart. How can this be done? We hereby endeavour to tell you to follow some guidelines in this regard.

We all know that there is a super natural power, which created this universe .He is master creator and we never stop admiring his creation. So if we some how , try to establish a connection with that super power, through meditation or some other means; the latent
creative powers in us will get invoked and the inherent creative juices will start to flow from our system., as water gushes out from a spring.

We have a physical body outside but we also have a subtle body inside us. Though we take great care to nurture our outer body and mind, we generally neglect our subtle system. There are three veins in our system, called Nadis; namely Ida, Pingla and Sushmna. Then we have seven chakras or energy centers in our body, starting from Mooladhar, Swadishtan to the crown chakra called Sahastrar.

There are different deities reigning on these chakras and there is a dormant energy, called Kundalini, an energy sleeping in three and a half coils, at the base of our spinal cord. All meditations , pujas and other rituals; simply aim at awakening the kundalini through different means. The objective is for it to reach Sahastrar and obtain a union with the all pervading divine power. When this happens, the spirit gets enlightened and we experience a state of complete thoughtlessness , bliss and relaxation. Now we start getting the blessings of different deities, of different chakras.

For creativity, meditating upon the second chakra or swadishtan chakra as it is called,is specially useful. The reigning deities of this chakra are Braham dev and Saraswati. Since Saraswati is the goddess of learning and reativity, by getting her blessings, we invoke the latent creative
powers within us, Our creativity takes a quantum jump and we naturally become a more creative person. Whichever field you are engaged in whether writing, music, sports or whatever, you become a more creative person.

Besides becoming more creative, when your spirit gets enlightened, you not only become a more creative person but also a good person full of compassion ,with a golden heart.
