ZEN OF CREATIVITY
Zen Buddhism is a meditative practice which is designed to increase self-awareness and compassion. It is not a religion as such, with a set of beliefs and dogmas to be accepted, but rather a way of approaching life and a way of experiencing life, together with a set of practices to help the individual achieve an enlightened (nirvana) state. A Zen meditation is a mind-body encounter, in the sense that there is an emphasis on ritual physical movements (bowing, chanting, sitting, walking, etc.), but the primary purpose of such activities is the quietening effect they have on the mind.
The Zen experience is one of 'sitting loose' to life, and it is therefore in sharp contrast to the somewhat 'driven' left-brain orientation of the West, with its emphasis on rationality, logic and control. It appears, therefore, to have much in common with the Inner Game ideas of Tim Gallwey. And the role played by the Zen koan (e.g. "What is the sound of one hand clapping?") as a puzzle to jolt the individual into a fresh way of looking at things appears to have a resonance with the concept of lateral thinking in creativity.
I'm the gateway of the sun, in your stomach is my location. My colour is yellow. I'm Tiger Eye with Amber and Yellow Onyx. I help the digestive system, liver, spleen and small intestine. My spiritual powers are laughter, joy, creative action and self esteem. 
I'm the gateway of the moon. I rest beneath the naval. My colour is orange. I'm represented by Carnelian along with Sunstone and Orange Aventurine. I aid the reproductive system, womb, genitals and prostate. I spiritually value instinct, self confidence, courage and pleasure. I will connect you with your inner self and guide your concentration.
