If you’re new to meditative art, you might be wondering how art and meditation come together to create a calming and creative practice. It’s a beautiful concept, but it can be hard to fully understand how these two elements fit together and where to begin.
Let me share a bit about my journey. As a lifelong artist, creative, and meditation guide, I always knew that creativity was healing. However, it wasn’t until my children and I faced a deeply traumatic experience that I truly explored blending art and meditation to ground myself and find calm. I needed a tool to stay steady while navigating a new and unfamiliar world for my family. I discovered that, when done right, combining these practices is incredibly powerful. It helped me quiet my overactive mind, ease my anxiety and fears, and enter a flow state where I could hear my own wise voice amid the noise.
One common frustration is grasping how art and meditation work together. You might wonder how creating art can complement meditation and help calm your mind.
The key is to begin with clear, step-by-step guidance that shows how these practices complement each other. Set aside a few minutes each day for both art and meditation. Start by meditating to center yourself before your art session, focusing on the process rather than the outcome.
To make trying meditative art easy, we’ve created meditative art kits that merge these practices. These kits include customized meditations, and journaling prompts, making it simple to start and appreciate the benefits of combining meditation with art.
