A series of practices for artists and thinkers who seek not just inspiration, but orientation inside their own world.
01 THE DOORWAY
→ for waking the senses and resetting attention
Begin with a ritual walk: in silence, with no goal. Touch surfaces, notice shadows, listen to details most people tune out. Your task: to feel the physical world as if for the first time.
⠀
This practice resets your perception and invites you back into the present moment—where inspiration actually lives.
⠀
Repeat when your mind feels overcrowded.
02 STAGE ZERO
→ for clearing internal noise before creation
Not meditation. Not journaling. Just 7 minutes of doing absolutely nothing.
⠀
No phone. No thoughts you follow. Sit in stillness and simply observe what leaves you—like watching a room empty itself.
⠀
The white stage is where ideas eventually appear. But only after everything else dissolves.
03 THE CHILD’S ROOM
→ for unlocking subconscious vision
Return to a personal image or memory that shaped your sense of beauty as a child. It can be anything: a curtain, a toy, a sound.
⠀
Now build from it. Sketch it. Describe it. Let it pull you into a creative state where logic isn’t in control.
⠀
This is how the inner child reclaims their role—not through nostalgia, but through creative authority.
04 THE MIRROR PRACTICE
→ for deep reconnection with the inner self
Ask yourself—or let someone ask you—questions that make you uncomfortable. Questions that are not meant to be answered but felt.
Who or what is watching you right now?
What part of you have you forgotten?
What does the silence want from you?
This is not analysis. It’s a listening exercise—to voices you usually keep quiet.
05 DUST ARCHIVE
→ for refueling the creative archive
Once a week, return to your personal shelf: books, films, textures, objects. But don’t just look—re-observe.
⠀
Ask: what does this show me now, that it didn’t before? What detail did I overlook?
⠀
Your shelf is not a library. It’s a dialogue with who you were when you first loved those things—and who you are now.
06 THE BLIND WALK
→ for breaking out of linear thought
Choose a task—preferably something ordinary: making tea, brushing your hair, cleaning your tools.
⠀
Do it with no goal, no urgency. Let your mind drift. The purpose is not productivity.
⠀
It’s to let the body move while the mind loosens, like threads untangling.
⠀
Some of your best ideas will arrive here—quietly, from the side.
