On The Cushion

Struggling with creative blocks, self-doubt, or perfectionism? In this video, I explore a powerful approach to creativity and the shadow—how the hidden parts of ourselves can actually fuel our creative flow instead of stopping it. Using Stutz’s tools like Active Love, The Reversal of Desire, and of course Mindfulness, we’ll dive into how to transform fear, procrastination, and self-criticism into momentum, energy and inspiration. Whether you're a writer, artist, or entrepreneur, these insights will help you embrace discomfort and move through resistance with confidence. 📌 Subscribe for more content on creativity, mindfulness, and leadership: https://www.youtube.com/@MarionMiller ✍️ Read more about this in The Coaching Journal blog mentioned in the video https://www.marionmiller.com.au/post/unlocking-creative-flow-a-jungian-and-mindfulness-coaching-approach-to-creativity-and-the-shadow 🌀 Join the Creative Women's Circle to explore your creative practice https://www.marionmiller.com.au/womens-circle💬 Let me know in the comments—how do you deal with creative resistance?

After returning from a week-long Dharma Teacher Training retreat with Insight Meditation Institute Australia, I felt inspired to share some key insights from my experience. In this video, I explore the themes of letting go, awe and wonder, and generosity—how these teachings unfolded during the retreat and how they can support a more mindful and connected life. Letting go isn’t just about release—it’s about dissolving our deep patterns of suffering with compassion. Awe and wonder open us to the beauty of life, deepening our connection to the natural world. And generosity, beyond financial giving, is a practice of open-hearted sharing in all aspects of life. I hope these reflections resonate with you on your mindfulness journey.
