Meditation & Art 

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.

Re: Meditation & Art 

I heard it said that art in itself is a meditation. A truly great artist looses him/herself in their work and often end up completing the work without really knowing where it came from. I have often started doodling... and ended up with something that I was really surprised at.

I think what you and your group did, is awesome! You should try to at least post some photos shots of that event... maybe even work it into a workshop. It could be very healing ESPECIALLY to those who claim they cannot "draw to save their life". We are all creative in some or other way. We just need to tap into it again and connect with that special energy. After all, it brings such peace!
