This weekend i did something interesting and fun. Myself and a few friends did a meditation, then directly afterwards we did some oil paintings. The Things that we painted were AWESOME. Now, if you are saying to yourself that you could bever paint anything, or that your not artistic enough to do something like this, then think again.
Art is not what i would say one of my strong points. I have not painted anything in over 10 years, my scetches consist of little pictures in the margines of pieces of papar that are far from interpretable, and most of my expression is done through physical excrecise and martial arts. But this was fun!!! My mind was still in another place when i started painting, and it stayed that way until my picture was complete. And the end result was something that everyone agreed on as being "extremely abstract".
Afterwards, we sat looking at eachothers paintings, and spoke about what they mean to us, why we used specific colours, and our style of painting. By connecting the colours we used to our chakras, we were able to see what the paintings said about our lives, and what we are going through.
I would recommend that everyone try something like this. Its fun to express yourself in new ways and do things that we dont normally get a chance to do.
May peace be upon you.
