A few weeks ago, a friend sent me an email with the opening caption - "I’m bored. Let’s go!" - and invited me to an event, Meet Your Guides & Angels.
We arrived at a beautiful house and was ushered into the ‘parlour’ and sat amongst other guests. I think about 30 minutes into it we began – with a smudge (burning of sage leaves) to clear negative energies, then a quick rundown from the hostess, where she advised us to simply close our eyes and observe what unfolded – we started meditating. I was no stranger to meditation and so fell easily into my pose. Instantly on closing my eyes, I began experiencing unusual physical and visual stimulations against my closed eyes, if this makes sense to you. I won’t go into details on the experiences but suffice to say, I received the awareness that the path I had set myself a few months ago was the right way, that the choices I had made was what was needed. I left the event feeling lighter, less burdened and even more focused on what I needed to accomplish and was looking forward to facing it all. In the following weeks to come, I felt an immense sense of connection, almost like an electric current running just beneath my skin. Doors began opening – my creativity expanded, contracted and filled me whole. And what came out was this sketch below…painting to follow - “Freeing Eden” – a piece I will be doing for Twitter Exhibit. The idea came from an earlier drawing I did called “Broken Eden”. I wanted to speak on the idea of 'Eden' and what it may truly represent.

I sense that with “Freeing Eden” heralds my awakening of sorts, my first of first, where the quiet, unused parts of myself was slowly being freed. [*Huh…just occurred to me as I am write this blog that maybe subconsciously it’s about me -- A moment of...EUREKA!]
Was this all happening because of that one event I went to? I like to think so. A moment of connection with the Universe, and I was FREED.
