Meditation, Practical Magic and the Power of Creativity
Meditation is really powerful. It truly is. I want to say that I have been exploring meditation as a practice to help craft your life artfully. I have even made a guided meditation that is meant to be an artwork in its own right but to also inspire and help generate or cultivate artful living. That is really what is at the center of my practice right now.
In my studies, I came upon the Headspace platform and I have just gotten so much out of it, truly. I want to share some links with you all that I received from Headspace. Andy Puddicombe is the co-founder as you will see from the videos. I am continuing to explore and develop and cultivate and generate and co-create meditation’s presence in my life as a force for good. I see it in everything. So as you can tell it is in the art that I speak of. In some sense, I think names and titles recede and get de-emphasized and we just tap into a kind of supra-sensual experience of heart and mind and body and spirit and soul. All of the words fade away if just for a moment and then they come back to us and we get inspired to articulate what we have come into contact with as a living phenomenon.
There really is a practical magic to meditation I feel. And also to music. I am inspired to write messages out to you all my dear readers because I care about the betterment of us all, I truly do. I know, absolutely know that music and meditation, writing, journaling and so much more can help us to live the lives we truly want to lead!
I hope you will consider some of the bounty that is here in these links and I hope you see the awesome power of creativity in the heart and mind as it manifests in life. We are miraculous. There is no doubt about that, truly, that is how I feel.
