If you feel like you've nothing to say that becomes reality. It isn't really feeling, because if it was your right brain would be dominating and the creative juice would flow. It is believing in a logical, analytical sense, that there's nothing to say, that inhibits the right brain's natural expressiveness.
In the creative process, we often end up thinking too much, and we need to learn to squelch that to allow the feeling side to come forward. In an improvisational environment there really isn't all that much time to think - the right brain, the ear, and the sound coming out of the instrument need an almost direct connection, and the thinking left brain needs to get out of the way. It's a Zen thing.
