Free 5-Day Meditation and Writing Challenge

Hi friends! Today, I’m thrilled to share with you an empowering five-day meditation and writing challenge from Tiny Buddha contributor (and this month’s site sponsor) Nadia Colburn.

Founder of the online creative writing school Align Your Story, Nadia is a poet, memoirist, and yogi who has a talent for helping people access their creative voice on a deeper level. And that’s exactly what she’s done with this challenge.

Each day’s fifteen-minute recording will guide you through a short meditation, share an evocative poem, and lead you through a quick writing exercise inspired by that day’s piece.

When she first told me about the challenge, I was intrigued because I know how powerful it can be to pair meditation with creative practices—and writing specifically.

By taking a few minutes to calm our minds and create mental spaciousness, we allow for the kind of clarity that can lead to profound insights about ourselves, what we need, and what we might want to do going forward.

That’s exactly what I got out of this experience.

I was energized by the ideas the prompts elicited and excited to recognize a common theme within my writing—a consistent message that illuminated what I most need at this point in my life.

Due to the demands of work, parenting, and a recent move, I’ve been a little disconnected from myself as of late. This five-day challenge helped me reconnect with my center and access the quiet voice within that knows what’s best for me.

You don’t need to be a professional writer or even an aspiring author to get something out of this challenge. It’s for anyone who wants to connect with themselves more deeply and perhaps find some of the answers they’ve been seeking externally within the quiet of their own mind.

Some of Nadia’s past participants have noted how easily their writing flowed after meditation and how the prompts brought them unexpected insights.

If you decide to give this a challenge a try, I have a feeling it could do the same for you.
