Description

There is a wold, inside yourself, if you stop to look. Nurture and attend to your inner light, and it will grow to a sun, to warm and light your very own universe.


With so much going on outside, it can be really easy to miss the world within ourselves. Whens the last time you paused to listen to what was going on within you? To your own breath and body? All these beautiful sensations we often don't make time for, with so many pressures on us in everyday life, in this busy world, stopping and giving ourselves love and compassion can sometimes seem like a selfish act. It isn't. It's often essential.
I used to think meditation was about taking you some place else in your head, but most of it starts from noticing the sensations in your body, like breathing, and exploring what your experience is moment by moment.


Since coming out of psychiatric hospital, I've incorporated meditation and mindfulness into my everyday life. It does take a lot of effort, practice and work, but it's helped with many aspects of my difficulties, and I'm enjoying the presence and peace it helps bring. My psychiatrist recommended Mark Williams book: Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World, and I, in turn, am recommending it on.


A Happier drawing, for happier days


Peace, Love and Presence,

Blue xx

I agree that meditation works best by focusing on body sensations. The mind is too busy and creates too many distractions.

Beautiful way to convey a beautiful concept

It's always nice to ave a reminder to look inside yourself once in a while, since so much is going on in the outside.

Keep on doing what you do and being awesome

milkhorns [2016-07-06 07:47:44 +0000 UTC]

I think it's amazing that your artworks can either be simple or complicated and still mean so much. Some people can only relate to certain artworks because it's a visual representation of what they've already experienced, while other people who haven't really experienced those things still find it beautiful, but not as meaningful. 
But I have a feeling most people, regardless of what they've gone through or not, will find some sense in this. Everyone has an inner glow, and that's what makes this artwork so perfect

Meditation has made a huge different in my life and it helps me manage my anxiety and depression so much. I use guided meditations a lot on Youtube actually! Some of them are great for grounding you and helping you be mindful. I LOVE this picture and your words behind it, I can relate to it perfectly. Thank you for making this
