Spiritual Music & Musicians
It could be argued that all music is spiritual in nature. It connects with us on different levels and in myriad ways, it makes us move and it makes us feel. Much like spirituality, everyone has a different view on music.
You may prefer the pounding drums reminiscent of ancient shamans, the sumptuous symphonies of Classical music, or spine-tingling lyrics speaking directly to your soul.

Books on Spirituality & Music
No matter who you are, there will be a piece of music, a particular voice, or a musical instrument, which speaks directly to your soul. Humanity has been creating music for over 35,000 years, and likely began singing as soon as we could speak

Being Spiritually Creative & Exploring Spirituality in Art
Creativity and spirituality are deeply connected
If we can lose ourselves in a creative project, get into the flow, we free ourselves from the illusion of separation
Here is a wonderful quote about the value of paintings...
''And if you roll the universe into a ball and pull it all to pieces like a sun that is made from string and if your hands get sore and if the clouds are laughing and you blink and if your heart cracks open and is raw and if you start to think that you can’t live and the world gets dark like a wintry eye closing... just look at a painting.''
- Deborah Lubelska Katz - Artist, Writer, and Visionary
Famous Quotes About Spirituality in Creativity & Art
“Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun.”
“The true use of art is, first, to cultivate the artist’s own spiritual nature.”
George Inness
“Art should be something that liberates your soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further.”
Keith Haring
“Art is the proper task of life. The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until i set him free.”
Michelangelo
Aristotle
“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
Pablo Picasso
…Only art penetrates what pride, passion, intelligence and habit erect on all sides – the seeming realities of this world. There is another reality, the genuine one, which we lose sight of. This other reality is always sending us hints, which without art, we can’t receive. Proust calls these hints our “true impressions.” The true impressions, our persistent intuitions, will, without art, be hidden from us and we will be left with nothing but a ‘terminology for practical ends’ which we falsely call life.
Saul Bellow
