Synopsis
In our demanding, fast-paced culture, it's increasingly important to find ways to decompress and recuperate from the busyness and stress of life. More and more, mindfulness and creativity are being recognized as antidotes to the speed and overstimulation of modern society. This beautiful book combines the two, offering both creative and meditative practices to provide a guided journey into contemplative art for healing, relaxation, deeper connection and greater well-being. Rather than focusing on any one medium or art form, this unique guide offers basic meditation instructions, and a variety of creative prompts and activities - from collage and colouring to meditative mark making and sketching to photography and perceptual exercises - making it perfect for anyone who wants to deepen and cultivate their mindfulness and creativity. With these artistic and introspective practices, you'll put meditation into action and learn to view yourself and your own creative process without judgment or aggression. Using Be, Awake, Create, you'll see beyond habitual patterns, discover the richness of your world and recognize the ordinary magic of your own creativity, with greater freshness of expression and spontaneity. By cultivating awareness and allowing yourself to play in the open space of artistic creation, you'll come to discover all of the positive impacts mindfulness and creativity can have on every area of your life.

About the Author
Rebekah Younger is a multidisciplinary artist with over thirty years of experience as a professional creative entrepreneur, designer and teacher. Her work has been exhibited in museums in the San Francisco, CA, and Boston MA, areas, as well as featured in magazines like Ornament, Fiberarts, Threads and The Crafts Report. Younger is trained as a Shambhala Art teacher. This program, based on the teachings of Ch?gyam Trungpa Rinpoche (and teacher for such creatives as Allen Ginsberg, Alice Walker and Meredith Monk), explores the creative process as a meditative practice and a means to wake oneself up to things as they are. In this training, art is viewed as a practice to cultivate an awakened mind and genuine expression beyond aggression. Younger completed an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts at Goddard College, with a focus on contemplative art, Buddhism and photography/video/installation. She lives in the San Francisco East Bay where she teaches photography, creating and meditation.
