Brush Meditation: a Japanese Way to Mind & Body Harmony
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Stone Bridge Press
- Publish date: 05/01/1999
Brush Meditation begins by looking at the ancient roots of Asian calligraphy and painting and how they have migrated to the West. It then explores the intricate relationships of mind, body, and brush, and delves into the mysteries of human life energy, or ki, and the power of the hara, a natural abdominal center. How these concepts relate to art, daily life, and personal growth is fully described.
Simple step-by-step exercises demonstrate shodo fundamentals and how to use the brush in spiritual practice. Photographs and model illustrations guide every step as the text explains the key cultural, meditative, and philosophical insights that are at the basis of all Japanese traditional arts. In the Appendix is information about how to find more formal instruction as well as sources for brushes, ink, and paper.
