Description
Peace and tranquitlity results from transcendental meditation. The positive energies flow in, ridding the body of negative energies.
About this painting - My knowledge of transcendental meditation comes from inferences and experiences that my father has shared with me since my childhood days.
You can see the person is representational of man as well as woman, as it is good for both. Meditation channelizes our energies in the positive direction as seen in the background, which I have done in blue. Blue is a cool color and gives a feel of lightness and freshness. Also the design in the background is in tandem with today's internet age, and even the halo around the person I have done in blue and white rings rather than white or golden yellow which is reserved for the Gods.
The yogic gesture of the hand is typical and called 'Chin mudra'. It frees the mind of negativity and gives wisdom to the mind. Lastly you can notice that the person is sitting on animal skin mat. The yogis who lived hundreds of years ago lived in the forests, and had to make do with animal skins such as deer and lion. The animal skin served to preserve the human energies by preventing it from being conducted into the earth.
