I have experienced wonderful personal growth, focus and peace through meditation. I had a few encounters with the practice as a child but did not fully learn about it until fairly recently. I appreciate the guidance and accessibility of Deepak Chopra's writings and instructional audio works. I am not always able to devote the time I would like to my practice in a formal sense but find a meditative calm from my paintings and calligraphy designs.

If you are like me, it helps to have visual reminders of desires, ambitions, and goals. I know life gets crazy sometimes and we just need to grab that tranquility wherever we can find it! 

Many of my mantras come from my faith or classical writings, focusing on the wisdom of the ages. The background for this page is a portion of the work to the right, Be Still.
