Conversion copy for DailyOM’s course landing page.
Stress has a way of following us everywhere. It sneaks into our thoughts, trailing our waking moments and when we try to sleep. If you can’t seem to shake the tension, there is a special form of meditation that can bring you ease. Known as meditative painting, this practice harnesses the active “doing” of painting to guide you into a deeply relaxed state.
The best part: This course doesn’t require any art skills. It’s suitable for everyone who desires a life of healing and joy — even if you’ve never painted before.
Paint Your Way to Your Fullest Potential
In this 8-day meditation course led by creativity coach Whitney Freya, you'll use the magic of painting to heal from limiting beliefs and doubts. You’ll practice painting on the same canvas each day, adding swirls of color as you learn to shed layer upon layer of worry. At course completion, you’ll have created your own mandala, a sacred object representing your journey to centeredness.
By painting with purpose in each 15-minute session, you’ll tap into hidden potential as you awaken your inner artist. You’ll become aligned with your dreams and deepest intentions — empowering you to live the abundant life that you’re fully capable of creating.
“I believe that anyone can paint, and that the true nature of our creative energy emboldens us to create the art that is our life.” — Whitney Freya
