The World has sped up!
We live at a hundred miles an hour without plans to stop. Living on the fast lane negatively impacts our quality of life. Many people feel scattered, overwhelmed, and stressed when the ever-increasing demands of life outweigh their resources.
The practice of Japanese Calligraphy demands patience, undivided attention, and full concentration; therefore, it can become an excellent resource for releasing the pressures of daily life.
After my job's daily challenges and responsibilities and raising a family, I spend about an hour practicing Japanese Calligraphy. Immediately my mind and body become one with the activity of calligraphy. All worries disappear in this meditative state, where mind, body, and brush are one. I can focus, keep calm amid chaos, and, most of all, feel happy when I create a beautiful work of art!
When you practice Japanese Calligraphy, you can apply its principles of patience, undivided attention, and full concentration to all activities in your daily life.
