it’s natural to get attracted to musicians,creative personalities

It’s not difficult to explain the secret behind attractions towards creative artists. Creativity comes out of positive energy. Any work which you are immersed is like meditation.
Singers, musicians, painters, photographers tend to immerse in their activity while creating their respective work. Meditation is nothing but action and activity is merged into form awareness.
It is a union of painter and painting, & it is a union of Dance and Dancer and Dancing.
These creative sessions tend to create a silence inside any artist. For that matter any creativity creates tremendous joy and silence inside you.
It is natural for anyone to get attracted to relaxation. When you are stuck in day to day tension, you tend to get attracted to people who are more relaxed
Attraction of tension is always towards relaxation.
Sexual attraction at it’s deepest core in nothing but your longing for relaxation. Regularly Musicians feature as sexiest people on earth in survey’s. Recently I was reading a survey in a leading US magazine about single most common reason for affairs!. Most of the respondents indicated they tend to relax in the presence of the person with whom they had affair with! Interesting isn’t it!
It is nothing to do with the artist that he or she is attractive. It is just that you are so tense that any energy peaceful looks tremendously attractive. It is important that you have some space in your life dedicated to activity you love.
A hobby or something you are passionate about or something you enjoy will help you to see different side of life. It also helps you to take more responsible position towards life.
The reason why you are not able to make headway in your life with respect to relationships is because you are NOT ready to look at issues in a relaxed manner. You cannot because you do not know how to relax.
It is difficult to teach relaxation by meditation from the start. But it is easy to teach you relaxation if you can find some work you love. Slowly your work will become your meditation. That’s why most of the teachers say “find a work/job you love”; once you find something you enjoy everything else falls in place.
I say, start with a hobby you love and slowly you will see transformation inside you.
Meditation is art of relaxation. Meditation is nothing but rediscovering you calm inner nature.
Love

Suresh, I am not sure I can agree with you on this point. I never feel attracted to the artists! In fact, i am kind of afraid of them because the are mostly unbalanced persons and
Though I LOVE my sister who is a singer, but this is something different.
even not always positive
Interesting thing is also that being quite a creative person, I never consider myself being an artist. And I never seek the company of artist. May be because I am very relaxed person on my own :))))
Wonderful, wonderful images.
Thanks for sharing your work.
music is the best, it permeates your cells and your chakras to make them blossoming more and more, to make the relaxation eventually come. it’s exctasy for me to meditate by being absorbed by music or dancing or painting…
Funny that you write this Suresh… I stumbled on your website as I have been going through very anxious and unhappy times lately. I am a 22 year old musician and over the last year or 2 I have been having a much harder time connecting to my music. When I sit down to create or to practice, negative thoughts fill my head and make me want to do something else. This has been very concerning for me as music has always been my love. I believe it’s because, like you say, music and creativity comes from positive energy. When there is little positive energy it’s hard to create. A lot of people say that depression and unhappiness creates beautiful music and art, but for me, I have always felt very happy when I’ve been creating the best music, and my inspiration comes from my beautiful dreams and not my unhappy ones. I hope I will be able to re-connect with that side again soon.
Thank you for the website and the beautiful pictures,
Dave
Will Johnson’s wonderful little book Posture of Meditation says somewhere that he sat through an entire session of silent meditation where the instruction was only one single word repeated occasionally: “relax”
This was a very relaxing post Suresh
My new job has been keeping me quite busy and I know this post makes a lot of sense to me as I’m really enjoying being just a programmer again… working on groovy on grails.
@Dave: I hope you re-connect soon and it would be really cool to hear your music if you have a bit of it online anywhere - pls post a link.
@axina: if artists are mostly unbalanced persons it makes me wonder maybe they’ve just been more free in expressing their feelings compared to persons who seem to be balanced outside
My personal opinion is I dont think theres any human being who is not an artist, its just a matter of how they express things. Considering photography as an art, it reminds me of an article I’d written “Am I a photographer?” on an old website http: // msanjay.htmlplanet.com / blog / photo.htm

[...] not falling into the trap of self-pity That even with extensive activity, its possible to stay relaxed [...]
