British neurooscientist Susan Greenfield has spoken widely on this and is conducting research into the link between creativity and spirituality. Mirror neuron research also expands on this. Face to face eye contact fosters empathy and creativity. Lack of it, can lead to depression and aggression, or being stuck in indifference.
Following on from this, in regard to creativity, especially writing, the best way to focus is to meditate, then allow for healthy mind wandering in a calm harmonious environment, all the while letting go of self and ego. This leads to a capacity to focus. Then start with free writing – associating ideas and thoughts – this can flow because you’ve cleared your mind with meditation. Then you can do the actual writing. This I’ve found is the best way to focus, but you need to divulge yourself of distractions first: phones off etc.; an harmonious environment and getting out emotional frustrations prior to sitting down to write – this is what helps inner and outer harmony.
