Meditation and Art
Part of a perfect meditation space are the visuals, which should support your practice. These images might just be peaceful and quiet, or they may depict a particular image that brings peace to you. It might be religious such as an sacred image of Jesus or Mary. Or it might be the Buddha, or some…
The Artist’s Eye – Meditation Space
The Artist’s Eye The afternoon sun slants through the blinds, and the white shears that hang to the floor billow in the breeze coming through the window. There is a hawk that lives high in the large pine tree outside the house, and now and again he gives his high pitched caw that brings to…
Using Dividers to Create a Meditation Space
The word division is often thought to be negative, but when it comes to meditation it’s actually a word that carries very positive thinking.
