What can you learn from drawing that transcends the traditional meditation cushion? This episode features John Simon Jr., an artist who has found his own path to mindfulness through the act of drawing. For those who think meditation is all about sitting in silence, think again! John reveals how picking up a pencil can be just as meditative as the most serene yoga session.
He shares his personal journey, detailing how art became a form of meditation long before he ever sat down to meditate traditionally. John and host Scott Snibbe discuss how drawing can unlock hidden emotions and provide a new lens to view one's inner world. John's book, 'Drawing Your Own Path,' offers 33 exercises at the intersection of art and meditation, encouraging people to find their own creative voice without the pressure of creating 'good' art.
Instead, it's about the process, the journey, and the unexpected insights that come from letting your hand lead the way. The conversation delves into the philosophical aspects of art, touching on the emptiness of self and how creativity is an expression of one's entire life experience. Whether you're an artist or someone looking to add a new dimension to your mindfulness practice, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how creativity and mindfulness intersect.
So, are you ready to let your pen flow and see where it takes you? Dive into this engaging conversation and perhaps find your own meditative rhythm in the strokes of a pencil.
