“All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.” – Eckhart Tolle

What is this state of no-mind?

As usual when we are awake we have millions of thoughts racing through our mind. This inner chatter can be of a negative or positive nature. Mostly it is a bunch of negative and unrelated thoughts interspersed only occasionally by some positive thoughts. Through meditation we can reduce the number of thoughts and over time gradually come to a state of no-mind. It may sound scary this no-mind state but in actuality we can beautifully function in this state as has been demonstrated by many enlightened masters down through the ages. And there will be thoughts also yet different. The mind then has become such an insignificant part of the being that it will no longer disturb you with its endless distracting nature of internal chatter. Hence it is called no-mind state.

“Enlightenment means rising above thought. In the enlightened state, you still use your thinking mind when needed, but in a much more focused and effective way. You use it mostly for practical purposes, but you are free of the involuntary dialogue, and there is inner stillness.” – Eckhart Tolle

What is this no-mind state like?

It is a state of inner stillness, peacefulness. A peace that passeth all understanding. This state of eternal bliss or enlightenment cannot be explained. It simply needs to be experienced. The way to experience is through meditation. Meditation will cleanse your body mind system from samskaras, engraved memories, and unearth so to speak your true nature of eternal bliss or nithya ananda that has always been there. What a beautiful thought knowing we are all blissful beings by nature!

Will you be a better artist through this state of consciousness?

Yes! You will function on a higher energy level and experience heightened intelligence and clarity. Because you will be connected to the Source, your center, directly creativity will simply flow through you. As of now there are many obstructions (samskaras) that hinder the free flow of this creative energy. You know you are not always creative and take different means of removing artist’s block. One such means is meditation that can help bring out immense creativity, energy, and intelligence to take you to new heights of productivity and creativity as an artist and reflect in your artwork.
