One of them reached for a needle and began to mend some clothes. “What are you doing?” Dongshan asked. “I’m mending clothes.” “How do you do that?“ “One stitch is like the next,” said Shenshan. “What, after twenty years of practice – that’s all you can say?” said Dongshan Shenshan put down his needle and turned to his companion. “Well then tell me. How do you sew?” “As though the entire earth were spewing flames,” said Dongshan.

Mixing minfulness and creativity makes for inspiring results
Karen Daniel's book, Mindful Creativity: Easy Tips and Meditations to Unleash Your Creativity and Purpose was thoroughly refreshing. The tips in the book were very useful and Karen's approach to creativity throughout the book was playful and fun. The meditations weren't what I was used to but, I enjoyed the fact that they weren't what I expected. Karen's meditations took the reader through guided visualizations to rid them of energy that pulled down their creativity in order to more fully embrace the uplifting energy of the creative spark. I felt very invigorated and enthused about working with my creativity afterward. Karen's passion for creativity as well as her depth of knowledge on the topic came through quite clearly. If you're looking for motivation and inspiration to begin your creative endeavor look no further. I highly recommend Mindful Creativity.
