Counting

Counting

Why 100 hearts? Declaring a definite goal sets important boundaries. Repeating the practice creates a pattern, a rhythm, an active meditation. Counting , keeping score, running a tally, become sources of clear, immediate feedback like counting prayer beads on a mala or rosary.

Where to begin? It is all about change. What can you change to make one heart different from the next? You can change the size, shape, or color. Make it an outline or fill it in Make it lighter or darker, and on and on. Timed exercises force you to think fast or not think at all, just draw.
