There has been much discussion about the value of the “creative pause” – a state described as “the shift from being fully engaged in a creative activity to being passively engaged, or the shift to being disengaged altogether.” This phenomenon is the seed of the break-through “a-ha!” moments that people so frequently report having in the shower. In these moments, you are completely isolated, and your mind is able to wander and churn big questions without interruption.
However, despite the incredible
power and potential of sacred spaces, they are quickly becoming extinct. We are
depriving ourselves of every opportunity for disconnection. And our
imaginations suffer the consequences.
