Hello, Beautiful Soul!

The theme of this week’s newsletter introduces the creation of art as a path to healing.

Additionally, I am including the paid content for free this week, so that once in a while, you can see the type of content that comes with a paid subscription.

I’ll be starting the newsletter with this week’s paid subscription offerings, which include a longer discussion on how creating anything, but especially art, can help us heal, and a teaching on how our light relates to others and how to live authentically as we mask and unmask in our life through what I am calling the “lampshade” analogy.

Let’s begin.

The last 3 weeks I have completely immersed myself in art. I have never considered myself an artist. As the energetics of ascension continue to sweep our planet and we move through vast amounts of growth, we are all going through various stages of purging and clearing out. For some of us, this has been painful and demanded immense amounts of resilience to withstand the grief that has come in waves as our current life collapses and a new one begins to birth itself. For others, things are easing and this is a fertile time of new energy that can be channeled into something new. I would categorize myself in the latter, the collapse for me came last year as I pivoted my business and I have entered into a time of clarity and emptiness that has demanded I let go of any associated sense of identity I may have previously held. This has been rough. To know your gifts are strong and to have nowhere to channel them, because nothing quite feels right. This is the final stage of de-identification with your previous life and the becoming of who you truly are.

I’ve been guided to do art. Any sort of creation, it doesn’t matter the medium. I’ve always loved working with coloured pencils, so I’ve been working with those. In 3 weeks of intense art creation, this is what I’ve learned:

1)The creation process, ANY kind of creation, opens up a channel of flow that births the energy of transformation, clarity, and collaboration with universal energies that cannot be sourced any other way

2) If you want a direct line to your ego, do art. A voice will come online that pokes at all the wounds of unworthiness that you still harbour in your soul. Mine sounded like:

“You are wasting your time doing this. You should be taking this time and putting it into your business.”

“Congratulations! 22 hours on one art piece and all you’re going to get from it is a stupid picture!” (*ouch*- that one hurt)

“You have no talent. Why put so much time and effort into something that isn’t going to ‘get’ you anything? What is the use?”

UGH.

The purpose is to create, let the ego bubble up and tell you all it’s stories about how your conditioning has deeply ingrained patterns of how your value lays in producing something of service to the World. The Ego HATES art. Art meets you where you are in the present moment and reminds you that you are a creative being. It reminds you that you came to this Earth to be human and CREATE. You may not spend your life doing art, but I can promise you that art is one portal into a path of co-creation that will definitively and positively bleed into all other areas of your life- business, relationships, self love, and especially healing. (I’m going to use the word ‘creation’ now instead of ‘art’).

Creation helps you heal. And here’s why:

The act of creation is an explorative act that bypasses the ego’s ability to fit you into an identity. This is separate to the adopting of the identity that one is an artist (try not to do that). If you truly allow yourself to create, without agenda, you enter a state of flow that brings you into direct relationship with your higher self. It is in this state that we have access to solutions, understanding, and wisdom we simply cannot acquire through traditional logic. It dissolves judgment and fosters new perspectives. It demands a commitment to continually beginning again, with an artist’s mind, which is not dissimilar to the beginners mind.

This mindset HEALS. It opens a channel from the mind to the heart that exists in the space of no-time. In this space, we govern ourselves lovingly, constantly seeking new perspectives that are gentle and allow us to just be. It offers us back to innocence, and in saying yes, we create a flow state that grants us the wisdom to find all the answers we seek.

The on-boarding into the creative state can suck. It took 10 (yes TEN) hours of conversation with my ego telling me about my non- talent and waste of time while doing art before it finally shut up. I finally figured out what it needed and how to quiet it- I simply LISTENED. Instead of arguing and stating back that I possibly DO have talent (it absolutely does not matter if we do or do not, creation <art> is purely subjective) and it was NOT a waste of time, I just agreed with it and asked it to tell me more. And I listened. I really heard it. It poured out it’s opinions over and over and finally when it realized I wasn’t playing the game, that I was actually listening, it finally went quiet.

I don’t meant to suggest that every person is meant to be an artist, but I do think that exploring creation in your own way can open portals to self discovery and healing that otherwise might never be accessible. Especially if you are reading this thinking ‘that’s all fine and well but I’m not a creative person.’ If that was your response to this, go pick up a paintbrush, a crayon, or a camera. Try anything, but TRY. You might be shocked at what you discover about yourself.

Here is my 22 hour art piece that I have titled “The Remembering” (the first picture is the half way process with the inspiration photo). Coloured pencil with a single wax pastel.

************************************

Here is a teaching I am calling the “Lampshade Analogy”.

“The Lampshade Analogy” is a channeled teaching via Arshaneia that explains how human beings share, express, and filter our spiritual light though our conditioning, programs, and emotional states. This perspective allows a greater understanding of the masks we wear, and how to carry more compassion and understanding of what it is to be human.

Here are the things that have been helping me on my path this week :

FULL MOON TODAY! Astrology report to support you:

ANIMAL TELEPATHIC COMMUNICATION

This is a beautiful example of how some people are able to tap into the field and communicate on the same frequency of animals. Many people can do this with horses, but a black leopard? It is magical and reminds me that there is so much we still do not understand about the creatures we live alongside on this planet.

Do you believe this is real?

WHAT I’M READING

I am adding this with a bit of a caution attached-this is incredibly deep psychology combined with spiritual ideology that has completely changed the way I see the World. If you aren’t in a stage of life where you are ready to shift, and are currently integrating, I don’t recommend you read it. If you need something to help bump you into the next phase, then this will definitely assist you. (I’m listening to the audiobook)

TRANSURFING REALITY by Vadim Zeland

Transurfing is a powerful tool for managing reality. Apply it and life will begin to change according to YOUR order. When you use transurfing, goals are not reached, so much as realised for the most part of themselves. Transurfing is the art of controlling reality using our freedom of choice. The world always reflects our perception of it. People can choose any variant of the development of current reality and thereby find themselves in circumstances they find desirable. To learn how to do this, you have to learn how to establish mutual understanding between the soul and mind, formulate intention and avoid the influence of destructive pendulums. More info here:
