mindfulness.
Meditation can help you clear your mind of clutter and distraction so you can be open to new ideas. You can use meditation as a key to unlock your own creativity.
Remember when the Beatles studied meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi? They said meditation was a high without drugs and the White Album emerged from this practice.
Walt Disney is one of the first people to adopt mindfulness into the business world. Google, Apple and Nike also use meditation in the workplace – as a means to awaken creativity.
Art can be a form of meditation.
The ability to use our creativity is one of the greatest gifts about being human. Making Art has been termed, the “new meditation.”
Creating Art is a form of meditation as long as we don’t worry about the outcome or the judgment of others. Art can be a channel to cope with overwhelming emotions.
Art Therapy is used for its healing effect on depression, trauma and illness. As a therapeutic practice, it encourages self-discovery. Art can also be used as a spiritual practice.
Do Art for its own sake.
Creativity enables you to experience the world through child-like wonder and fuels passion, purpose and meaning. Creating Art can still the mind and help us tap into our deeper core while allowing for self-expression.
Art can help us see the world from a different perspective. Consider using an Art Project as a path to help you express your own view of the world.
Expressing your creativity could change your life and our world. It’s not too late.
Do you think of yourself as creative?
Are you working on a Creative Project?
Would you meditate or attend an Art class to develop your creative potential?
