‎”All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.” – Eckhart Tolle

Stillness and a quiet mind.  Ahhh. 

The way I was able to truly understand this concept was when I picked up The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Huff.  After combining the Tao Te Ching with the tales of Pooh bear, I began practicing “stillness” daily.  I imagine  breathing in of love and while exhaling i fill up a little bit more with light. Several slow sets in and out slowly through my nose, while letting my body release a little of it’s tightness can be practiced anywhere.  Ideally in a  few quiet spaces…but even in the noisiest of crowds once it becomes second nature, the ability to be still can do wonders for the mind and body.
