Naomi Rose, Book Developer & Creative Midwife, has recorded a variety of spoken invitations to welcome you into your interior being where the Source of Creativity can make beautiful contact with you and express itself as your own writing. Use any and all of the following to enter a session of writing and feel inspired, interested, and immensely grateful for what came to you and who you are becoming.
Portals into Inspired Writing
Brief ways to open to your inspired writing
These are short guided audios that open the inner doorways to writing — an invitation into your own inner connection, the ground from which authentic writing can come. Each one opens a different doorway: through attention, through rhythm, through the qualities already alive in you, through your own voice, and more. You don't have to be ready to write a book to begin. You only need to be willing to listen. Offering different paths into the territory of your own creative inspiration, each one can be used to shift you into deep, attuned writing mode.

RHYTHM:
A Creative Miracle-Worker Right Within You
This portal explores rhythm as a secret doorway into writing with deep connection and ease. Drawing on the three rhythms of life from the teachings of Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan, you’ll learn how to bring about the best rhythm for creating: the slow, even, mobile rhythm that opens you to inspiration, receptivity, and the writing that wants to come through you. You’ll also learn to recognize the rhythms that don’t serve — when they inadvertently creep in — and how to shift back into the slow, receptive, creative one.
“I was finishing the development edits for my second novel and struggling with the last chapter… I listened to this portal as a guide. It was incredibly moving, deeply spiritual and energizing. It gave me the confidence I needed to finish the novel and send it to the line editor. It’s important work that will continue to help many writers. I think about the focus on rhythm and breathing when I write. This is your gift.” — Heidi McIntyre, novelist

The Divine Invitation
This portal opens with a reflection on your most precious capacity as a writer: your attention. Bringing your attention to an inner listening lets you begin to know what the Creative Source is lovingly opening up for you — writing that can be, as mythologist Michael Meade puts it, "a healing force for our times," whatever your focus. It invites you into a different relationship with writing: not as performance or achievement, but as a divine invitation to know and express what lives inside you.

Calling in Your Birthright of Supportive Qualities
Every quality you could ever need as a writer already lives within you — creativity, confidence, inspiration, and many more. Some are already flowering; others are still in seed form. This portal invites you to discover which quality is gestating in you right now, and to call it in as an intimate, trusted aspect of yourself — and a companion for your writing times.

Raw, Cooked, & Distilled Writing
Is your writing raw — showing up for the first time, perhaps clunky and scattered? Is it cooked — quietly brewing inside you for some time, and now ready to come onto the page with shape and integrity? Or is it all the way to distilled — something that has lived in you long and deeply enough to arrive without effort, essential in form? Drawing on wine-making as metaphor (as illustrated by an ancient Georgian tradition), this portal offers a liberating framework for understanding the alchemical timing of your writing, and helps you meet whatever arrives on the page with patience and self-acceptance.

Lifted on the Wings of Creation:
The spirit of creating is in you
This portal opens with a Bach Partita, followed by a reflection on music's power to continue after the last note — still pulsing, still living in us — just as your own writing can be when you are truly here for it. From there this portal moves into its heart: three aspects of the Divine creative process, drawn from the Sufi tradition, that live in you and can inspire you as a writer: (1) the cosmic potential for all possibilities before any creation takes form; (2) how this all-encompassing creative force takes individuated shape in and as you; and (3) your own shaping of what moves through you from this deeper Self toward its final form. You are not an outsider hoping to be let into creative inspiration — you are an essential part of how the Infinite works through you and your writing.

Your Voice as a Doorway:
sounding your way into your writing
This portal points to something writers rarely consider: that your speaking voice, moving through the resonant chambers of your body, can attune you to a frequency that thought alone cannot reach. Through a simple sounding practice — accessible to anyone, no musical experience needed — you are invited into immediate, present-time contact with the creative life within you. From that resonant, embodied place, your writing voice becomes not something to figure out, but something to feel your way into. The portal's deeper invitation is to move your attention away from "What am I going to say?" "How am I going to do it?" "How am I going to shape it?" — and toward the more essential questions: "Where am I?" "What's in me?" "What am I receptive to?" "Can I come back to myself in an aligned way?" And the answer, once you are in touch to this extent, is always what you need — and want — to hear.

Fully Here:
A meditation for entering your inner writing sanctuary
A guided meditation that leads you, step by step, into the inner conditions from which true writing can emerge. Beginning with the simple awareness of sitting, breathing, and being upheld by the Earth, it gently returns you to yourself — to the present moment, to your body, to the space around you seen with fresh eyes. From there it turns inward: toward the landscape within, and toward whatever is quietly waiting for your attention — a wisdom, an image, a memory, a question, a hidden treasure ready to surface. Drawing on the Sufi teaching in which God says, "I was a Hidden Treasure and I longed to be known," this portal reminds you that what wants to come through you in writing is not something you must manufacture — it is already here, already waiting. Your only task is to show up, listen deeply, and let it come into being through you.

from writers who were in the live Co-Writing Sanctuary:
“Thank you for opening this up for me. You’ve blessedly given me the insight into my self to create space and time and intention (again) to ground my writing into this reality of my life. I so appreciate you and reminding me of this process.” — Earlene Gleisner, author, The Spirit Bundle
“I really love the Sanctuary. Wish we could do it twice a week. What a wonderful idea you had, and how well you do it. Thank you so much!” — Adriana Diaz, author of That Place We All Come From, a novel-in-progress that came to her during a Co-Writing Sanctuary
“Your GORGEOUS ‘Book Mothering’ energy is just the right medicine for me! You always remind me of why I so love to write!” — Shelley Klammer, author, Collage for Self-Discovery
“The group was a true sanctuary! It made it possible for me to return to writing a work that has been essential for me, and which I had let go for too long. I love what I’ve been writing! The atmosphere you created . . . truly brought about a field. That field exists for me even when I’m not in the group and am writing on my own. I feel the presence of the others, and I’m no longer writing alone even when I am alone.” — Deanne Jameson
“That was probably the best writing group I have ever had, and the most surprising feeling of sanctuary and grace. Your beautiful voice, wise words, kindness, and encouragement . . . what an incredible feat you pulled off… to bring us together in such blessed energy. It feels like such a different time dimension. Such freedom!” — Jane Majkiewicz, writer, editor, literary agency associate emeritus
