Open Monitoring Meditation for Creativity

Sit or lie down, usually with eyes closed, and let thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and sounds arise without trying to control them. Some versions begin with a brief breath anchor before widening attention to the full field of experience. This practice is used to reduce mental reactivity and support divergent thinking and creativity by noticing experience without judgment.

So another awareness practice is what we call open monitoring meditation. And open monitoring is where there is no specific focus. But rather the aperture is broadened.
