Pause & Reflect is a new series that presents meditative passages from the Baha'i sacred texts arranged around particular themes. While the Bahá’í Faith places a great deal of importance on meditation and the cultivation of spirituality, it is also a religion that calls for action and societal transformation. Meditation is not exclusively a means for personal growth, but a tool that should equip us with insights and awareness that can be translated into action in our lives and in the communities in which we live. For so many artists, creators, and change makers, meditation and mindful living are practices interwoven with the creative process. There is a deep well of spiritual insight from which we can all draw in moments of quiet reflection, and the first book in the Pause & Reflect series, Meditations for Creativity, has been compiled with such moments in mind.
