Spiritually, to help ourselves prepare, we can meditate, pray, chant, ask for guidance, ground ourselves and be in the present moment or whatever other techniques we are used to using, that work for us. Also we might need to turn off our ego´s or root beliefs, especially if its like mine and says things to me like, “you´re rubbish, why bother? everything you do is rubbish.”
Mentally we can prepare ourselves by being toxin free and free from all the emotional crutches we use to help us cope with the hardships of life, (thats stopping self medicating with poisons, eg, booze, fags, crack etc.) to achieve clarity of thought. Also let go of any negative or evil thoughts or depressive tendencies as soon as they occur.
Physically we can prepare ourselves by being fit and clean, especially our hair, as this can act as an antenna to the information we are about to receive from the psychic super high ways or global consciousness! Ideas, visions, inspiration and messages are transmitted for all to access at will, so lets decide carefully which projects we want to invest our personal energy into and bring to fruition. Also we can clear the dedicated art space that we are going to work in, a little feng shui never hurt or as i call it, “the sacred art of tidying up”. There are also outside factors we need to consider like, shop opening times for buying the right materials, sods law, forgetfulness, untimely visits from friends, phone calls, the internet and all the other day to day tasks. We deal with these distractions as they occur and do not let them become a problem. Say after me “I have more than enough time to suit my needs perfectly.” Light, warmth, food, exercise, shelter are all things we can take into account when catering for our needs.
Lets make ourselves as comfortable as possible before we start, go to the toilet, brush our teeth, wear clothes we don´t have to think about once they are on us. Eat regularly and take breaks. Have a glass of water, take a deep breath and relax.
