Morning Pages are meditation, a practice that brings you to your creativity and your creator God. In order to stay easily and happily creative, we need to stay spiritually centered. This is easier to do if we allow ourselves centering rituals. It is important that we devise these ourselves from the elements that feel holy and happy to us. A spiritual room or even a spiritual corner is an excellent way to do this. An artist’s altar could prove a sensory experience. Burning incense while reading affirmations or writing them, lighting a candle, dancing to drum music, holding a smooth rock or listening to Gre gorian chant—all of these tactile, physical techniques reinforce spiritual growth. We need to unlearn our old notion that spirituality and sensuality don’t mix. We are meant to celebrate the good things of this earth.
