SD 1 – 9

I have often felt that meditation helped my creativity by allowing me first to relax, and then in that relaxation to be open to whatever arises — inside or out — using methods taught by great meditators like Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche in a video about creativity and meditation. Image Courtesy of Tergar International Rinpoche explains how meditation and creativity work together in on the Tergar Learning Community website. There are many online courses at this site you can take to learn how to meditate at home and at your own pace. For me, the goal of meditation is not to engender greater creativity. That is a by-product of meditation. The goal is to free myself from harmful mental habits and thus, be a more flexible and warm human being to be around. In short, I’m hoping my meditation practice benefits others, and that any resulting creativity also benefits others, be it great or small. Enjoy!
