Writing as Meditation

Meditation and Writing

Writing comes as a revelation, as a form of yoga or meditation, when the writer disappears in her writings and the only reality is the world she has created with her words. This leads to a profound experience of timelessness, when a single moment of inspiration becomes eternity. That is the whole art of meditation, the disappearance of the ego, the disappearance of the mind. Writing becomes a way to experience the unity of thought and its intrinsic spiritual nature.
Writing is therapeutic as well and is an effective way to overcome stress. Each experience however ugly, depressing or blissful becomes a reserve of emotions the writer draws on while creating her magical world of words. This helps in emotional healing. Writing is way to express the suppressed feelings. Life and writing get so intricately interwoven that life seems the tale of creation and the writer the carrier of the essence of life.
