Here is what happened to Matisse the first time he took up
brush to paint –

“When I started to paint, I felt transported into a kind of
paradise.”

He’s talking about flow.  He’s talking about the right
brain.  He’s talking about the Buddha brain.  He’s talking
about conscious action.  He’s talking about presence.

Art of any sort has the ability to put you into the
graceful state of flow.  When you are in flow, you enjoy
what you’re doing.  You lose self-consciousness.  Your
sense of time changes.  It disappears completely.  It stops
dead in frozen, perfect moments.  Or it flies.

If you’re in the Seattle area on Nov. 8th 2008, you can

And do sign up to be informed of future classes.

IF YOU’RE NOT going to be in Seattle, paint.  Get books on
making art.  Visit the libraries of the universe.  Go to
art museums.  Paint.  Draw.  Sketch.  Doodle.  Use your
right brain.  You could start with the amazing book —
DRAWING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN.

Do watch this video about the right brain done by Jill
Bolte Taylor, a woman who had a brain breakdown and lost
her left brain, thereby making her completely right
brained.  Fascinating.  (Note: Oprah has some interviews
with her on-line as well.)
