Description

Stop Look Breathe Create is a simple four-step process for exploring mindfulness through creativity, and in turn, developing creativity through mindful practice.

The book engages the reader with ten everyday subjects, from ‘The Ground Beneath Our Feet’ to ‘Returning Home’ and for each of these there are three projects: one drawn, one photographic, one written. All are based on the effective mindfulness techniques that Wendy Ann has developed in her successful workshops and courses, and the book is filled with simple techniques and ideas to help the reader enjoy their artistic endeavours while being in the moment.

A timely introduction to the benefits of mindfulness through creativity, Stop Look Breathe Create offers an oasis of calm in a frantic world.

Publisher Review

Wendy Ann Greenhalgh has discovered a vast creative territory utilizing four simple but powerful steps: stop, look, breathe, and create. Her beautifully illustrated book shows us that our creativity is always available if we are willing to pause and allow our attention to rest on what we see around us every day, and that anyone can explore, through exercises in drawing, photography, and writing, the joy that comes from mindfully making art. This book will not teach you how to be creative but to easily discover how creative you already are. -- John F Simon, Jr. Visual Artist and Author of "Drawing Your Own Path"
