Share with Us: How does your practice generate creativity?

I believe that my daily practice of yoga has helped me become limitless in my ideas of what can be created with my own two hands. My practice has also helped my humour flourish. When I get done with an hour of yoga, all of the sudden some little pun or anecdote will come to me.

Yoga has liberated my creative force. While I have always been a creative person, somewhere between childhood and adulthood some of the creativity got buried under duty and obligation. I really believe that Yoga has allowed me to reconnect to the same Source that flowed through me as a child when I saw everything as an opportunity. My yoga practices and creative inspiriation flow together, and ebb and change with each other, but though my yoga I have found the way back to the waters of creativity that have run through me all along.

I get this sort of visualization enhancement as a side effect of my asana practice! Recently I was contacted by an art show, to take part as an artist... they had my name on file from years ago, when I'd been doing watercolors. My inventory is gone now... but I accepted. And waited, for some inspiration to come to me. And a few days later, I became fascinated with block printing! I've only done it once, about 25 years ago...so I have no idea where it came from! Now 3 weeks later I have my new inventory and am ready for the show!!!
