Wes Annac - An Introduction to Meditative Writing – Part 1/3 - Dec 2, 2014



Written by Wes Annac, The Culture of Awareness
As the name suggests, meditative writing is the act using meditation to get into a deeper state of consciousness and use the energy and inspiration that results to write or express ourselves in another way.
I think meditative writing can be a great way to fade into the sacred self while being creative and expressional at the same time, and it can allow us to transcend the mind and express ourselves from a deeper, more spiritually alive and conscious level.
There’s nothing wrong with writing without the influence of meditation, of course, and potent articles can be produced either way. I sometimes prefer meditative writing because I enjoy getting into a deep state of consciousness and basically transcending the ego as I write.

The Value of Meditation
Generally, I think meditation’s value isn’t as recognized in our day and age as it could be.
Yes, meditation can help us reach a deep state of consciousness, but have we stopped to consider that it could offer other benefits as well? Have we considered the possibility that it can enable us to enhance and purify our creativity?
Meditative writing (and meditative creativity in general) has something potent to offer the awakening humanity, and only if we utilize it will we unlock our inner gifts and see just how pure our ability to express ourselves is when we’re in a higher state of consciousness.
I’ve come to understand that raising our vibration with meditation and various other tools will sharpen and enhance our creativity.
It’ll help us see that we aren’t the limited, finite beings we’ve convinced ourselves we are by showing us just what we can do when the influence of the ego is transcended and we’re able to express ourselves from a pure, lively, spiritual place.
The Heart is Important
Meditative writing isn’t complete without the influence of the heart, and no matter what we do, we’ll want to make sure the heart is involved.
We can’t do anything pure or potent without the influence of the love we can express through our heart space, and meditative writing or any other form of writing is incomplete without transcending the ego and opening the heart.
Only if we can express ourselves from our heart space will we do anything creatively or spiritually significant, and if we don’t empower the heart, it doesn’t matter how we strive to be creative – we could fall short of our goals or expectations every time.
Only when we can see that the heart’s an important instrument for our self-expression will we present anything helpful to humanity. With love in our hearts and the open-mindedness that enables us to access this love, everything we do will be honed and our enthusiasm to contribute to our conscious revolution will strengthen.
Meditative Writing is Derived from Channeling
I derive meditative writing from my experiences channeling my higher self and guides.
Some seekers don’t resonate with channeling these days, and I recognize that channeling doesn’t have to be limited to directly communicating with a higher-dimensional entity – even our higher self and guides. We can use the voice of our higher self to sharpen our creativity, and meditation will help us with this.
I meditated every time I channeled my higher self and guides, and now, I meditate before I write – even when I don’t use meditative writing. I write articles with and without meditation, and again, writing can be a pure expressive tool whether or not we meditate while we do it.
I think the world would change significantly if everyone could embrace their spirituality and their creativity, and even if one doesn’t consider themselves inherently spiritual, they can still lean on their creativity to help them find a higher state of consciousness or generally enjoy their existence.
