Is Constant Meditation Hindering my Creativity? I recently became more consistent with focused breathing meditation. I feel that since I practice, I tend to fall into such breath-focused meditation while walking, on public transport, etc. Yet, this type of practice is both much less focused than formal sitting, and it seems to inhibit otherwise free thought which I used for creative purposes. 

Is there a drawback to constant focused-meditation?

Clearly, some times are needed to contemplate situations. How does one know how to balance focused-meditation and other types of attention?
Yes, the Buddhas way or creativity, of meditation, has only one aim: to stop creativity, e.g all kinds of concentrations for becomings sake. So nothing wrong for one with right view or vision toward liberation.

What ever comes into being is a matter of the act of concentration, now this can be used, by right concentration, to gain independence, as concentration depends always on food.

So the question might more a matter of fear of independence, right, i.e doubt in the Rightly-selfawakened and meditating without having gone for a refuge?

Well it's of cause that one fears if having no refuge as base.

{note: not given for concentration, burning of food and feeds for the world, but to gain liberation by observing the Dhamma with proper attention}
