Hello, I’m CJ Miller, host of the Spiritual Artist Podcast and YouTube channel. Today, I’m revisiting asemic writing—a profound way to tap into your unique creative voice. If you’ve ever felt constrained by traditional art forms or struggled to find your authentic expression, asemic writing offers a liberating alternative. In this episode, I’ll introduce you to an exercise that combines asemic writing with music, helping you reconnect with the pure, unfiltered creativity that lies within you.

Asemic writing is more than just abstract marks on a page; it’s a way to access your creative DNA—those innate, original impulses that are often suppressed as we conform to societal norms. By engaging in this form of expression, you can bypass the conscious mind and connect directly with your intuitive self. Inspired by the teachings of Paul Baker in his book Integration of Abilities, we’ll explore how integrating movement, music, and mark-making can lead to deeper creative breakthroughs.

In my own artistic journey, I’ve discovered that true creativity isn’t about imitating others but about discovering what makes your work uniquely yours. Through this exercise, we’ll go back to the playful, uninhibited joy of childhood—when we were free to scribble, color, and create without judgment. I’ll guide you through using simple tools like crayons and a spiral-bound tablet to explore your emotions and physical responses to music, allowing your true artistic self to emerge.

Music is a powerful catalyst for creativity. In this exercise, we’ll use it to evoke emotional responses that translate into your asemic writing. Whether you’re feeling the rhythm of a fast-paced track or the calm of a soothing melody, your marks on the page will reflect your inner state. This process isn’t about creating something beautiful in the conventional sense; it’s about capturing the raw, visceral experience of being fully present in the moment.

So, grab a box of crayons, find a quiet space, and let’s begin this journey of self-discovery. By the end of this exercise, you’ll have a series of pages that are a true reflection of your inner world. These marks are more than just art—they are a testament to your creative spirit. Join me in this exploration, and let’s uncover the unique artistic expression that’s waiting to be released. Thank you for being a part of the Spiritual Artist community.
