Abstract Calligraphic Art Creating art is not so much about following the structured lines, but finding self-expression in a playful artistic way. Firstly, from one practical first step of holding the brush upright and lightly in the fingertips, one enters the meditative process by allowing the qi to sink to the hara; while kneeling or sitting cross-legged on the floor, or sitting in a chair, or even standing. For it is from being centred in the zen state that expressive art materialises and the spontaneous non structure evolves, allowing the qi to magically flow via the fingertips, through the brush and onto the medium - to discover enlightenment.
