Creative Meditation in Expressive Art

                


                 Visual meditation is a wonderful method for tapping  into your own imagery and  getting in touch with your Muse.

"We should be taught not to wait for 
inspiration to start a thing. 

Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom 

generates action."
