Achieving Creativity

Creativity needs imagination, curiosity, fantasies, and foresights. These would not be possible if the consciousness is not operating on the right side where it's free, fluent, flexible, original and autonomous. According to Dr. Langer in her book called Mindfulness, those who can free themselves of old mindsets, who can open themselves to new information, play with perspective and context, and focus on process rather than outcome are likely to be creative, whether they are scientist, artist or cooks.

The Zen master Shunryu Suzuki in his excellent book called Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind expresses creativity and self expression in Zen practice:

To cook, or to fix some food, is not preparation, according to Dogen; it is practice. To cook is not just to prepare food for someone or for yourself; it is to express your sincerity. So when you cook you should express yourself in your activity in the kitchen. You should allow yourself plenty of time; you should work on it with nothing in your mind, and without expecting anything. You should just cook!
