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.

ReplyDeleteSometimes it only takes that ONE moment, one time, to feel that ONE awakening. It'll probably last you the rest of your life. Go with it, girl.
ReplyDeleteThat's an awakening we all need once in a while. Love the sketch as well. :)
