The Zen Circle

Creating an Open Zen Circle is a meditative exercise performed since the 5th Century AD.  Many use the practice of drawing the Open Zen Circle to overcome the power of our ego (who we want to be, how we want to be seen, what we think of ourselves, etc.).

​

The exercise is simple.  The artist (that is you, of course) makes one brush stroke to draw an open circle.  

​

Inevitably, the circle is imperfect.  It is a tangible representation of our finest work in this one moment. 

As we see our best efforts before us, misshapen and imperfect, we are compelled to edit.  We may want to erase.  We may want to rework.  We analyze.  We overthink. We desire flawlessness.  The angst of permitting our imperfections to brazenly exist can be agonizing.

​

Healing is in resisting our urge (our ego) to edit.  

​

The Open Zen Circle mirrors the process of therapy.  Healing is fueled by courage to acknowledge this imperfect circle is snapshot of the best we can do right now. And that is enough. 

​

This imperfect circle has an opening. representing space for growth. Therapy is often where that growth starts - all evolving because you accepted imperfect beginnings.
