Meditation Through Art

When you start to make something with your hands,

whether it was painting, drawing, pottery, you name it,

your mind brings it's focus to that activity. You are

singularly focused on it and, in that sense, it makes it like a

meditation or mindfulness practice. The act of using our

hands and being engaged in creation also brings a sense of

alignment.

The mind starts to slow down, and the thoughts you have

are related to the energy you're putting and the activity.

You tune in with the environment, with the textures, the

colors, the sounds, you start to feel inspiration, you

connect with your senses. Also brings you a sense of

awareness, sparking reflection and aspiration.

Art is a way to bring active meditation to your day, with

no need of expectations or focus on results, but rather

the creative process.
