KEY TAKEAWAYS

Yoga and Yin Yoga specifically can be extremely healing for the body and mind, and are more than just stretching.
Yin Yoga is a practice where poses are held for a longer period of time and the focus is based on how you “feel” in the pose rather than how you are anatomically aligned in the pose.
Transcendental Meditation and Primordial Sound Meditation can be great tools to add to your meditation toolbox, use your intuition to decide what your body needs.
Getting into a meditative state (through whichever method you choose, can assist with creativity, as it allows one to move into a “flow state”), both Yoga and Visual art thus can be healing practices.
To create, you have to come from the heart.
Laughter can sometimes be the best medicine.
