IFH 304: The Meditating Filmmaker – How to Be More Creative

The Meditating Filmmaker – How to Be More Creative

Over the years I have mentioned my meditation practice and how important it is in my daily routine on the show. Many of the #IFHTribe have asked me to do an entire episode on meditation and the importance it has in the creative process. Today is that day.

In this episode, I go over:

• My personal meditation practice
• Why it’s impossible to CLEAR YOUR MIND
• How to embrace your minds inner voice
• How science view meditation
• Neuroscience and what actually happens to your brain when you meditate
• How meditation can make you more creative

I discuss practical everyday uses for meditation in your creative life. Some of my greatest ideas and thoughts have come to me during my meditations. I’ll also teach you how to meditate for 10-15 min to start and then over time, you can grow your practice to 1-2 hours a day like I do. Once you start meditating it becomes addictive.

Get ready to open your creative channels to full flow. Enjoy!
