Description of  Drawing Your Own Path: 33 Practices at the Crossroads of Art and Meditation

Drawing Your Own Path is an account of how multimedia artist John Simons daily drawing discipline became a meditation practice, and how that meditation illuminated his creative source. A practical guidebook full of Simon's own art, Drawing Your Own Path offers meditators an alternative path to just sitting and offers artists a way to mindfully examine and deepen the source of their creative ideas. Readers are guided through thirtythree meditation and drawing exercises, exploring concentrated looking, mindful sketching, and improvisational awareness, all designed to help practitioners discover the vast creativity within themselves and in their daily lives.
