Within the Deeper Still there is beautiful silence. And this experience of silence is full. There is ever the fullness of light, and
energy, and the creative seeds of “All” that is. I invite you to enter into this experience—becoming one with beautiful silence.
~Linda L. Anderson~
Today, as I have joined the 21-Day Meditation Challenge™, Sponsored by the Chopra Center—I am reminded that I have benefited from the practice of meditating for many years. However, this is not to say that I have for all of these years, practiced meditation in the traditional manner that we associate with the word, “meditation”.
While I have occasionally, practiced meditation in this traditional manner, sitting in lotus pose and quieting the mind while inviting a state of conscious stillness to emerge, the majority of my meditation practice has occurred in a different manner.
A primary way that I enter into a meditative state occurs in connection with my practice of journeying into the landscape. As I journey into the landscape and allow myself to both walk and to sit quietly within a natural environment, I am entering into a relationship with creative source within the deeper still. Essentially, as an artist, I naturally enter into this state of still awareness and heightened sense awareness as a vital part of my creative life and practice.
“Within the Deeper Still” by Linda L. Anderson. Acrylic on Canvas 36” x 49”.
“Dimensional Landscapes” Collection.
For availability and price of this or other works in the Collection, please connect to my website:
The title of my mixed-media “Dimensional Landscape” painting, “Within the Deeper Still” was so titled to honor that very state of awareness and the numinous sense of union with the natural world that envelopes me when I enter fully into the experience of communing with nature, and likewise, as I enter fully into the experience of creating a new work of art that connects with this meditative experience.
As I have continued—and will continue—to practice meditation in this manner, I receive the following gifts:
—The gift of “being” while centered in the total experience
—The gift of enjoying the reality of calm awakening and growing awareness
—The gift of enjoying a ‘knowing” sense of interconnectedness to all that surrounds me
—The gift of enjoying a heightened sense awareness allowing my whole self to perceive life in-the-present
“Have your attention on what is and see its fullness in every moment. The presence of the divine is everywhere. You have only to consciously embrace it with your attention.”
