If you have tried meditating and have had trouble getting into a routine with the process I have a suggestion for you.

I have written several blogs about the health benefits of having art around you that speaks to you. You know that it speaks to something deeper inside you because you feel the same sensation every time you view it.

Reflecting Fondly

Your first reaction at a gallery or at an exhibition will be a connection and as you go around and look at other art, your mind will wander back to it. And in your home or office, after it belongs to you, you will always feel that same feeling.

Art promotes faster healing and relieves stress, and gives some of the same health benefits as meditation. That is why hospitals, doctor’s offices and health centers have art on their walls. People heal faster and need less medications because of their reactions to Art.

Meditating proclaims to relax, refresh and revive you. It lowers blood pressure and reduces stress. And it helps you feel less pain. Less pain means less medication.

Art does the same thing as a healing method. I have never been able to keep up a steady routine of meditating because I lose focus after a short time. 

But I find just sitting in a chair with my legs raised on a stool and in the presence of an art painting that speaks to me relaxes me and calms me down. What a great feeling it is to just focus on that painting and relive the feeling that it inspires in you.

Try it. I think you will really find that it takes you to a deeper, calmer, and relaxing place. And your health will improve without costly medications, doctors or hospitalizations.
