Inspiration Meditation is a form of japa (sound) meditation that centres on words and the spaces between the words. It was devised by novelist, poet and longtime meditator, Orna Ross, to facilitate other writers, artists and all who are interested in developing their innate creative intelligence.
Inspiration Meditation & Creative Intelligence
The human mind operates at three levels — Surface (Intellectual) Mind, Deep (Emotional) Mind and Beyond (Inspirational) Mind. Inspiration Meditation allows you to experience all three.
Inspiration Meditation provides a way to tune into your deeper, wiser dimensions of mind, which tend to speak in whispers.
When we take silent time to meditate, a shift happens within. Our consciousness expands, our awareness deepens, we come into the presence of what Albert Einstein described as “the most beautiful emotion we can experience…the [underlying] power of all true art and science.”
This power – our creative intelligence – is in us all. You don’t acquire it, any more than you acquire your fingers or your feet. You allow it, welcome it, foster it.
Some of us can do this at will but most of us require a regular practice to keep us open, allowing and connected to this deeper dimension of life. Inspiration Meditation is one such practice.
Orna Says: “Insight, creative flow, joy, peace, humour, perception, revelation: these are not distant attainments or elite possessions. They are available to us all — but they do require certain mental and emotional conditions to flourish. The step-by-step approach of Inspiration Meditation creates these conditions.
Becoming creatively intelligent is not about working harder in the conventional sense that you learned at school or work. Though effort is required, it is not the effort of striving, or stress, or strain.
It’s more about dissolving the internal barriers that come between you and your own innate potential, so you can align with it and allow it to flow more freely.
This is the benefit of regular Inspiration Meditation. The intention to connect daily with our internal font of creative intelligence is what makes it more than just quiet time with words and the spaces between words. This is what makes it a force.” BUY HERE
Inspiration Meditation and Creative Flow
Flow, as defined by positive psychology, is a mental state in which you are fully immersed in an activity, with energized focus and complete involvement in the process.
Describe by creativity theorist, Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, as “fully focused motivation”, flow represents the ability to harness thoughts and emotions into the service of making, learning and doing.
Recent research into creativity and flow states has revealed that this mental condition is not, as used to be thought, the preserve of exceptionally talented people but a brain state that can be accessed by anybody, once we know how.
Furthermore, recognising how flow is fostered in one arena of our lives allows us to apply it to others.
Flow generates either a forgetting of self and time and place or, depending perhaps on personality or habit, a sense of joy that can range from quiet, humming contentment to bursts of spontaneous rapture. Thoughts and emotions become positive, energised and channelled to align with the task at hand.
Inspiration meditation fosters this highly desirable state of flow, through its balanced structure, its counterposing of sound and silence; its attention on words and the spaces between the words; and its integration of right brain, left brain and whole brain activity.

The Science of Meditation and Creativity
Neuroscience is confirming the long-suspected connection between creativity and meditation, by showing that precisely the same kind of response is fostered by both activities.
“This should come as no surprise,” says neurologist Gary Kaplan, “because the effortless activity of transcending [required by creative intelligence] is the opposite of the narrowly focused activity of analysis [required by conventional intelligence]. It is simply allowing the mind to reach its ground state, where we can experience thought at its creation.
“What we are nurturing [when we meditate] is a direct, unimpeded channel between the conscious mind and the unbounded, ‘ground state’ of the mind, at once infinitely silent and the source of all creative expression.”
In summary, Inspiration Meditation offers you:
- A structured, step-by-step approach that easily induces the meditative state.
- A method that integrates right and left brain, sound and silence, words and the spaces between the words.
- A highly guided meditation that keeps you centred and focussed throughout.
- A series of simple mental tasks that locate you within the meditation, facilitating continuous concentration and alertness.
- A method that mitigates some of the challenges of meditating alone.
- A meditation that emphasises creativity, encouraging insight, creative flow, joy, peace, humour, perception and revelation to flourish.
- A practice that brings about spontaneous ideas, insights and experiences; a calm sense of solidity and connection to self; a lively awareness of the unfolding moment; the ability to observe what is being made in the moment of its making.
- A fostering of the ongoing joy of expressing your essential self.
- An experience of creation as a process that’s less about controlling and more about allowing; less about striving and more about enjoyment, less about yearning and more about manifesting.
- A confidence in your ability to create more of the things you truly want in your life (and less of the rest).
