Takes Discipline

In my yoga class this month we are practicing the path of celibacy or more specifically the path of self discipline. When the senses are over stimulated and the mind is scattered and cravings springforth it is difficult to find peace and creativity. When we take the time to quiet the mind and slip into a quiet moment in time where body-mind surrender to the peace of the soul what emerges is a burst of creativity, insight and wisdom. But it takes discipline to get there. Writing a book takes discipline. One must block out time and committ to a solitary existance allowing creativity to spring forth onto the pages.  I've completed the first 60 pages of my book. The pages have been sent off to an editor. Once edited, I'll make the corrections page by page, line by line, word by word. Then it's off to the four agents and one publisher who have agreed to look at my proposal. They will either reject or accept...in either case I will keep writing. Then changes will need to be made. The rest of the book will need to be written, edited, changed, submitted, reviewed, changed and may-be published. It will take over a year from conception to finish...it is the creative process. It's all about discipline and the strength to endure rejection and then keep coming back to a place where the process of creativity out weighs the end result. Celibacy means when you write, you write and when you love, you love. It is the art of self discipline and focus.
My book is a natuoapthic look at sexual health with a hint of lust, lore and magic. And what is sexual health but creativity at it's best.... discipline...it take a quiet focused mind.
