"I cried. It was the perfect medicine. Thank you." This is why I keep offering astrology birth chart readings. Sometimes we need to re-member how we are made, how that was on purpose somehow, that we are whole and interconnected by being, loving and living who/how we are as fully and honestly as possible - even and especially during times of transition and uncertainty. Astrology is a language that speaks to this beautifully, that reflects who we are from a vision bigger than our own singular, acute perspective point (though it can speak to that, too). The vastness through the self, the self through vast miracle... and how we each have a part to play, with unique creative energy, and a soul-making resonance within this time of creation. It reminds us how we heal best and what we each need to feel most Alive in our own skin... and to trust our intuition (even when it's hard) about what that means on our personal and collective path, one step at a time. Because that is the call of Creator within you, calling you home. {i receive a variation of this testimony often, after readings, just usually with more words... it fills my heart to know I'm doing the symbolic language justice and helping others remember their worth, the form their gifts may take, the needs of their heart, and the direction to point their creative energies}⁠ #feelinggrateful ...⁠ #creativeenergy #creativespirit #healingarts #artheals #birthchartreadings #soulwork #creationstory #astrology #intuitiveastrology ...⁠ #everythingisconnected #knowyourself #trusttheprocess #intuition #contemplation #ancientways #workingartist #cosmiclanguage #signsandsymbols #spiritualart ...⁠ #mandaladrawing #doodleart #artjournal #seeing connections #findyourpurpose #practiceinpresence #contemplation #gratitude #healingtools #selfcare⁠
guided by love and vision and being wholly what we are made to be, as best we can - what a blessed invitation Life is - to see how our attitudes and perspectives emit a co-creative energy into our shared landscapes and connections. to yield that power with care and discernment for what we need, yes, but also for more than our-selves. What does EAGLE make you think of or symbolize for you? Feeling grateful and centered as I move into a weekend of work I love. Hope you are, too, Creative friends! ⁠{this is another 20 minute study from my RELATE practice a few years ago. RELATE is a contemplative creative practice circle happening now. We just started - you can still join us (or take a solitary journey with the content).} ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #creativepractice #supportlivingartists #workingartist #intuitiveart #visualpoetry #artheals #artwithfeeling #allthefeelings #creativeconnection #creativeliving⁠ ...⁠ #natureart #everythingisconnected #creativespirit #artistherapy #expressiveart #beinghuman #soulwork #animaltotem #birdtribe #eagleart #practicegratitude⁠ ...⁠ #artjournaling #artcommunity #artmeditation #contemplation #waterislife #creativeenergy #meditationart #dailypractice #practiceinpresence⁠
a meditation page. simple and such sweet company lately, this spread. much of my time with a prayer page or contemplative painting can look like zoning out, but is a form of being with, imagining into and finding space within. the creative process - and our creative energy - is so much more than just what is measurable in the world of matter(s) and physical senses. it is first a returning to the place where no-expectation greets what-Is with loving acceptance, and in that, makes anything possible, and a deeper sense of belonging, holding, and setting-free inevitable. it is a form of communion, an invitation to center in right relationship as the created, creating, within the call and flow of being fully human in the rivers of mysteries we are not meant to control.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #artjournal #artjournaling #mixedmediaart #visualjournal #journalart #dreamscape #liminalspace #meditationjournal #dailypractice #artpractice⁠ ...⁠ #visualjournaling #contemplation #visualpoetry #visualstory #sensitiveartist #creativesoul #soulful #seeker #makeart #trusttheprocess #visionaryart ⁠ ...⁠ #practiceinpresence #lifeisart #artheals #creativefreedom #creativework #artwork #artpage #paintedpage #prayer⁠

What does Bear teach or symbolize for you? ⁠Do you have bears where you live? We have them around our house and neighborhood every year, and I actually adore their quiet, primal presence in the midst of all the human energy and buzz. {This was a 20 minute play-study in sync with my online contemplative Creative Practice program RELATE - which begins tomorrow and runs for 8 weeks. Grounding reflection on how to be in harmonious relationship coupled with your favorite form of creative practice right now. Two ways to join - via my patreon community or as a solitary practice.
