Breathing as Inspiration: Michael Todd Fink on Creativity and Mindfulness

To me, that's inspiration, that's creativity.
Ever thought about how something as simple as breathing could spark your creativity? In this episode of 'Kind Mind', artist and wellness consultant Michael Todd Fink dives into the fascinating connection between our breath and our creative potential. He explains how breathing is unique among bodily functions because it can be both automatic and voluntary, giving us a special tool to harness for mindfulness and inspiration.
Fink highlights that both 'respiration' and 'inspiration' share the Latin root 'spiritus', meaning breath, suggesting a deep, intrinsic link between the two. Through conscious breathing, we can enter a relaxed state that fosters insight and creativity, a notion backed by scientific studies. Michael also touches on the role of memory in artistic creation and how emotions often drive our creative processes.
He challenges the idea that intense feelings are always necessary for creativity, suggesting instead that creativity can help process and release emotions healthily. Listeners will also hear about the benefits of mindfulness practices and even dancing as ways to tap into their creative selves. If you're looking to unlock your creative potential or simply find a new way to relax and reflect, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
