About this session
- Eases creative blocks
- Sharpens focus
- Softens self-doubt
- Clears mental clutter
Instead of pushing past a creative block, Vasavi Kumar invites you to turn toward it. You ground yourself through your feet, back, belly and breath, then ask what you are resisting and what lies beneath it. The resistance is treated as a guide, not an enemy, and you let it speak.
It suits anyone who feels stuck, restless or short on inspiration before creative work, a big decision or a long stretch of focus. Try it in the morning to begin with clarity, or in the late afternoon when your energy and ideas feel flat.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What does it mean to sit with resistance?
The meditation asks you to stop trying to fix or escape the block and simply observe it. You pause, notice what you are resisting and what is hiding underneath, and let it show itself. The invitation is to do this without judgment, without stories and without expectations.
Why does the teacher say resistance sits beneath frustration, anxiety and sadness?
The opening names resistance as the layer underneath those feelings: resistance to pain, to change, to discomfort and to the present moment. Seeing it that way shifts your attention from the surface emotion to what you are pushing against. When it arises, the guidance is to come inside and surrender to what is.
How is the body used to settle in at the start?
You notice sensation through the soles of your feet, the back of your body, your belly and your heart. Then you pair that awareness with your breath, feeling air move through your nose and your chest and belly rise and fall. Together they anchor you before any questions arise.
What happens when I focus on what I want to create?
After meeting the resistance, you turn toward your intention, whether that is a tangible goal or simply more space to dream. You let that intention infuse each breath. It gives the release that follows a direction, not just an emptying.
How do I release limiting stories during the practice?
You breathe into the blocks to loosen your grip on them, releasing one with each exhale. The stories are the ones that stop you from moving forward or tapping into your creativity. The session closes with the reminder that you are perfect, whole and inherently creative.
Why does it say resistance can guide me?
The meditation suggests resistance points to parts of you that long for light, nourishment, and the chance to expand, stretch and express. So there is no need to shame or blame it. Understanding how it feels is treated as part of the way through.
