Drawing As Meditation with John Simon Jr. #207
Description
On this podcast, we talk a lot about meditation, but it’s far from the only way to connect with the deepest part of yourself and build a stable, joyful mind. There are so many other paths to reach that same inner stillness: spending time in nature, practicing yoga, exercising, making music, writing, or creating art.
For Scott, art was his meditation long before he ever learned to sit in silence. Our friend John Simon Jr. feels this connection just as deeply, so much so that he wrote a whole book about it called Drawing Your Own Path.
Scott and John first met years ago through their shared love of creating art with computer software. Recently, they reunited at John’s home in New York State to talk about how drawing by hand (the old-fashioned way) can be a profound meditation in itself. It’s a beautiful reminder that creativity, presence, and peace can flow through any form of expression.
