Hello from Oaxaca Mexico everyone, hope this post finds you all healthy and safe. Seems we have entered the season of hurricanes, and mother nature has come in hot. My heart and prayers go out to each and every single family that were in the pathways of these crazy storms, Many Blessings upon you all. For our family in Oaxaca, we have been safe, lots and lots of rain every day, some mucky roads with swollen puddles. Our area is farmland, and some roads (ours) are not paved, and some roads are made to be like a watershed or run off (ours), so when the rains come the road turns into a little river. Sometimes a little torrent and you had better stay home. I call those times Cave time. You just want to stay home, and Mother Nature is helping you out. You envision getting all cozy with hot tea or chocolate and getting dressed is optional along with brushing your hair and because it’s so cold I even broke out my mini heater and aimed it at my feet. While cooped up, I have spent days painting, sometimes getting lost in the process for hours, I believe this is what is called the flow state. You're not even hungry…you're so focused on the creative process that you become one with it. Before I knew it, time had flown by and I had a brand-new completed painting, ready to sign. I also had finished a Dragon painting that had been sitting around just waiting for me to be in the “flow”. Then I also prepared three canvases and figured out my design. What was my catalyst for change? There are the obvious ones where the weather was bad enough to not want to go anywhere, and yoga was canceled for the week, so no engagements. Also, there was this accumulation of all the required ingredients, having canvas, paints waiting to be used, brushes, and other various tools and yet the most important ingredient of all has been a newfound desire to paint into reality my visions, my dreams, my received messages. It’s like finally within my heart, the fog has cleared, and I can see my path, I can see or actually I feel them (the paintings forming) within me and then I create or release the vision to come into light. It’s like all of a sudden, the light has shined so bright in my heart that I know my purpose…I’m going to use my talents to bring into reality this vision of the light of love I felt during my NDE. I am going to create New Earth or Heaven on Earth paintings, ones that express that YOU are the Light of Love. Every day we are creating heaven on earth…. we are the LIGHT, so let us become as one, together, in a collective harmony of love, working together to create solutions for the good of all. For years I have wanted this clarity. So many times, over the years, I have felt like I was the ball in the game of “pinball” and the wizard of pinball was laughing as he saw me being whirled into this idea (ding, ding, ding) and then whirled into the next (ding, ding, ding!). One day I was an artist and then the owner of an antique and junk shop, and then I was raising sheep and becoming a spinner and weaver, and the list goes on. I had no idea really what path I should take and so I just followed whatever came my way. But one thing was obvious, everything I was passionate about involved creating artistically. It really felt funny calling myself an artist, I was just one who painted, and I liked painting everything. For a while I was a painter and finisher on a construction crew, working with my mom. It was truly a great experience, and I learned a great deal about how to prepare surfaces for painting and staining. Something shifted for me during the Covid years and all of a sudden, I had this clarity for not only calling myself an artist, I began to think more and more like an artist with actionable steps to make it so. Oh, over the years I have had several synchronicities and hit me over the head with a frying pan moment, as God kept whispering to me, as my angels and guides kept trying to say so many times, YES, JOHANNA, YOU ARE AN ARTIST, and then I would say “are you sure?” During Covid years, I produced several pieces of art and sold almost every single one. It helped fund our major move to Mexico in May of 2021. During these times I was laid off, and the government wanted you to actually stay in your home (CAVE TIME!). Into a flow state, mesmerized by the creative process, piece after piece began to be formed. No one to talk to, nowhere to go, only the geese floating by our floating home was keeping me company, and all the right elements had come together and the most important one of all was just my willingness to let go of my own judgment of my work and start to really enjoy whatever I created, receive God’s gifts of inspiration and to take action. Today, I feel free to create, my heart has healed, and out of my heart flows this light of love. I will share that. It’s become my passion and purpose, and it is my hope that you can feel this energy of love, in each and every painting. Here is my newest painting, so you can get an idea of how God whispers to my heart. Everyone has this inner light of love and as I write this, many are becoming aware, and this love light is expanding with joy and spreading like a wildfire. It is my hope to create art that “speaks to your spirit and awakens your soul”. Remember who you are...you are the light of love. Tell me in the comments below…does this painting evoke emotion; does it create curiosity? If it does, talk to me. Tell me your thoughts. Till next time, Be the light and shine your love all over, Johanna Join my journey as I create, be on my support team, you can do that by joining the liquid love movement and signing up for my newsletter

Art has always been a bridge between the tangible and the intangible, the seen and the unseen. “Art has the power to heal, to transform, and to connect us with the divine. Through my journey as an artist, it has been my pleasure to experience the profound impact of how art can heal the heart, the spirit, the soul, the body” There was a time in my life when I was chasing after the Spirit of God. Anywhere there was a reported outpouring of people being healed, or Holy Laughter, or angels, I was interested in being there. I was super open to a touch from God. Just so you know God did not disappoint, and when you do get a touch, its life changing. Have you had one of these moments? Tell me about it in the comments. While I was on this quest to dance with angels and get words…I went to a church in Redding California that believed in healing. They were open to new ideas and techniques and created healing rooms. There was coloring and painting, poetry, music, prophetic singing, and more. People were writing books on Prophetic Healing Art, and prophetic art workshops were created, all used for healing and the giving of prophetic words over people. I went to this church one day looking for healing, and the overwhelming excitement and energy in this church was amazing. There were lots of testimonies of healing. One lady had a brain tumor, and she was led to sit in front of a painting that held a heart and the word Hope on it. The tumor melted or drained and she was cured. There was a story of how certain sounds or hertz played through music heals a woman’s autistic child, and the testimonies continue. I can give a testimony myself, as I had comet ailing with some muscle ailment causing me a lot of pain to just walk across the room. There was an older woman who was in her 80-90’s that talked to me about how God had healed her of crippling arthritis, and she waved her hands in front of me showing me how she could move them about, and said this was also a gift for me. Of course, one has to be in a receiving mode and thankfully I was and believed in the gift. Three weeks later all my symptoms disappeared . During these times of chasing after God I was painting…sometimes I would bring my paints with me, and soon there became a season of painting in churches, sometimes these paintings were directly for someone in the crowd, or they were quickly snatched up by those who were moved by the Spirit and drawn to the energy created and released on canvas. With the encouragement of my peers, I allowed myself to explore this world of new ideas of what healing looked like, and how Art and Healing converge as one and that there are no limitations on the creative ways God decides to heal and create miracles. My version of Prophetic art is when I simply surrender to and begin co-laboring with God, allowing God to work through me to create a message for someone. All those days of chasing God are over, for I have found what I was looking for, a few near death experiences helped, I now know that God and I are one, so I don’t need to chase after, but instead, flow, just listen, and be willing to act. Faith in Action is spelled R I S K. The Healing Power of Art Art has the unique ability to evoke emotions, inspire change, and promote healing, and that’s without anything added, just the pure love energy by the artist who created it. When combined with quantum healing techniques, such as crystal light therapy and sound instruments, art becomes a powerful conduit, a portal for healing energy. Each piece I create is infused with intention, love, and light designed to uplift and heal the viewer. Tech & Tools

Sacred Artistry: "Using Sound and Light for Spiritual Healing"YouTube's Bold Brave TV....Interview with "Soul Shifts" host Michelle Maitreya Cempaka My aim in my art has always been to create art the stirred the soul and awakened one's spirit. Over my career as an artist, I have been fortunate to create art in the outdoors through Plein Aire groups, create murals for private clients and also churches, restaurants and schools, teach children and adults, and for a season, was sent to various churches and spiritual retreats where I was able to pull out my paints and create the message God was giving me. These paintings sold quickly or were given away as they carried anointed messages for someone in the room. I recognized these messages as being prophetic and deserving of being released. Today... I'm in Oaxaca Mexico and by moving here gave up my art or so I thought. Upon arriving in Mexico, I have been led to study quantum energy and Reiki, sound, vibration and light and this led me to becoming a Reiki Master, to get my certificate in Sound Bowl/Bath therapy and create what has lovingly been nicknamed "the magic table" I have called it, (VASHT), Vibro Acoustic Sound Healing Table, with crystal light bar. I use a fusion of VASHT and Reiki energy with my clients. Sound healing is the specific use of specific instruments, music, tones and other vibrations to balance and heal the body, mind and spirit. It involves using specialized frequencies to create a therapeutic atmosphere to promote deep rest, nervous system rebalancing, and emotional release. It's like an energetic deep tissue massage that leaves you feeling balanced and replenished. Specialized music plays through Bose headphones, as well as felt within one's entire being through a unique system that is built into the massage table picking up the low frequencies in the music. So, it constantly is shifting the vibration through your body based on the sounds. This mixed with the infusion of light and crystals. The crystals are able to focus the light that is passing through them and to transfer the vibration of the crystals directly to chakras. This allows and creates the perfect scenario for the body to open to receiving healing by holistic body harmony and create hemostasis, a perfect state of balance among all the body systems needed for the body to survive and function correctly. The experience brings you within and brings peace to your spirit and soul. IDEA!!! IDEA!!! IDEA! IDEA! IDEA! I often feel things, ideas....and at first it just started out painting our living room and bedrooms .... nothing to exciting. Then I kept receiving hints from spirit to start painting again. Felt very directed, like the fog had lifted and I was being given a directive and direction. I am naturally attracted to spiritual art and contemporary art, and after a few near-death experiences.... even more so. So, the idea was to mix quantum healing techniques and create art with a purpose. This aligns perfectly with the concept of using art as a medium for healing, as both rely on the power of intention and energy. Quantum healing is based on the idea that our consciousness and energy fields can influence our physical health. Techniques like visualization, meditation, and intention setting are used to create positive shifts in an individual's energy field. High vibrational art is created with a healing intention. It speaks to the greater parts of your being, your spirit, your soul and your multidimensional light bodies and it brings you into vibrational harmony. A foundation is laid with intentions, affirmations, prayers of goodwill, adding sound healing instruments like singing bowls, angel chimes and pipe chimes playing a sound bath of love over a painting, using different crystals as directed and infusing sound waves to promote physical and emotional healing. Incorporating VASHT principles into my art, I can create pieces that resonate with specific healing frequencies. This can be particularly powerful when combined with visual elements that evoke a sense of peace and well-being. Next, the layers of colors have their own vibrational frequencies and can significantly impact mood and well-being. Creativity and the experimenting with different materials and techniques to create multi-dimensional healing art, resulting in powerful, high-vibrational pieces that resonate on multiple levels. Sharing... My hope is that my art will have an impact that can help others connect with my work on a deeper level. By integrating these quantum healing techniques into my art I'm hoping to not only inspire but also promote healing and transformation for those who experience them. A good friend of mine is going through some very serious health related issues and received some foundational shaking news about a couple of surgeries she will have to endure. She received words that I won’t even repeat as I do not want to give any power to them or move them into her or my reality. Truthfully, as someone who believes in the Power of God, knows miracles happen all the time, and has actually seen healing miracles and participated as a conduit to healings…this caught me off guard…no one wants to hear about a dear friend struggling. So, I did what any person should do…I did not react, but I went within and asked God what I should say to her. Now, I would have loved to just tell her that she would be healed by morning. It doesn’t always work that way, as sometimes there is a greater picture. Up to this point I hadn’t been able to answer her message to me. This is how God answered my question. First, God doesn’t always answer me immediately. Usually, I ask and then receive the answer in a way that I understand that it was the answer. I guess you could call this prayer, this back and forth relationship. SOOO, I was rattling around in a bunch of old papers and notes, when I ran across a note on a small piece of paper that I had kept for such a day as this. This is what it said; “Colors are a frequency of sound.” That got me to thinking, and it came immediately to my mind that this was what I was supposed to tell my friend. Well I have been studying about quantum energies, and how energy has no boundaries or limitations. How sound can heal, and when you mix a fusion of sound, color, and light with high intentions they can be like the balm of a soothing blanket, like the gentle touch of a mother, the peace that passes all understanding. So, I paused over my text to my friend as the Spirit of God guided me to be a conduit to the higher frequencies, and craft a message about color that would lift up her heart and wrap her in a coat of many colors. These are my thoughts…Colors are a frequency of sound. Life is like ribbons of colors. Colors form a vibrant spectrum; sound waves create melodies and harmonies. Life, like ribbons of colors, weaves together experiences, emotions, and memories each hue representing a unique moment in our journey. Like a tool in your toolbelt, color can be a weapon against warfare. When you're in a room with bright colors and items you resonate with, it makes you feel better. If you walk into a dark room that has negative pictures on the wall or something creating anxiousness, it will start slowing your vibration down. We can create a sanctuary of peace using color, artwork, and plants strategically placed to bring harmony to our surroundings. So what color is attracting you? Each color has a frequency of vibration. If you always wear black, and all of a sudden hot pink is calling you…I would heed the call, pink is speaking to you. At first this can be shockingly bright but try infusing it with your black. Wrap yourself in the color speaking to you, like with a scarf or a pillow you can hug. Buy a painting that has bright colors or gentle peaceful colors, or bring in a landscape that speaks to your soul and begin to shift your environment. The rainbow is like a banner of love, and can create a protected space, can ward off negative energies and bring healing to the heart. Colors Speak! Colors are making a sound like a note in a song. What color is speaking to you and what is it trying to say? If you are feeling a little down, look around, and see if you can brighten your world with color, the sounds of pink or green or blue to name a few. Every color has its meaning. Purple Is spiritual energy of God’s authority. Green is a melody of new birth, balance and peace. Yellow enhances clarity and optimism. Blue induces calmness and communication Red stimulates energy and passion and vitality Colors evoke emotions and memories affecting our mood and behavior. Rainbows symbolize the harmonious blending of all colors. The rainbow reminds us that diversity can create beautiful unity. Some believe rainbows serve as guiding paths for souls I see rainbows as a spiritual bridge to invite us to transcend the mundane and connect with higher realms. I can remember a time when my whole view of life was a "I have to". I have to wash the dishes, I have to do the laundry, I have to go to work, I have to do this or that. You get the picture. Life was a series of drudgery and chores. I felt like this is it, a never-ending list of got to do it.
Then one day I had a message, or revelation that changed everything, I heard God or Source of All mention that "I didn't have to". He gave me the word "Perspective". I have often for years heard words or received visions and dreams. So, I was listening and went and looked up the word perspective. Perspective in art is the art of drawing solid objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other when viewed from a particular point. That is not what God was talking to me about. Instead, it was perspective to my particular attitude, the way I was regarding my life. He was basically saying, why don't you count your blessings instead. I thought about how I had a choice, a chance to shift my way of thinking into a new way of life. So, I decided to try out "I get to" instead. So when I awoke in the morning, I thought about my new day and my new perspective. I get to breathe and live and have my being another day. I get to get dressed and collect the laundry, wake the children, get everybody ready with breakfast for a new day, and then we all get to go to work, some to school, of off to do chores. At the time I was in a job that I had been complaining about and it shifted my whole life, because I realized my job was a blessing and "I get to", helped me be grateful I had it. All of a sudden everything became easier and my outlook on life more promising. What is it in your life that leaves you feeling like "you have to"? Can you shift your perspective and find a new view, one that leaves you feeling good inside and full of gratitude? After all we are the creators of our lives, so let's paint a beautiful picture, one where we want to say, "I get to". Leave me a comment and tell me what's you're have to and how you can shift your vision. I eventually left that job, not because I had to, but because I saw opportunity to grow somewhere else, and then that job also fell away do to Covid, but again I saw it as an opportunity for growth. It eventually led me to a deeper appreciation of my art and talents and the people and circumstances of my life. Today I get to live in Oaxaca, Mexico and new opportunities are coming my way. Have a beautiful day, Be Liquid Love and Flow where You Need to Go Johanna We have a floating house on Lake River in Washington State. We as in Ernie and me, my husband of forty-two years. Living in a floating home with the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge as my backyard did wonders for my spirit. It began to heal my heart and allowed me a new freedom in my art.
The wildlife, the reflections of color and light from the river, spoke to me in deep vibratory ways that I began to express through my art. I call these the "Blue Years" as so much of my art was blue. It's as if the color blue was trying to tell me something. Since blue is connected to your throat chakra the message I was getting was to speak and share my art and truths. Today I am living in Oaxaca, Mexico. For two years by the ocean, the sounds of pounding surf brought more healing. Puerto Escondido has such magical energies. I began to feel alive and expanded with joy. My dreams opened and I experienced visions. During this time, I had three near death experiences, that really shifted my own spiritual perspectives of life. While the ocean is nice, and I loved Puerto the heat was a bit to warm, so, we moved to a small town on the outskirts of Oaxaca City a small town with dusty roads and burrows braying, dogs freely running around, big trees grace the old roads and there is peace in my heart. The colors of Oaxaca fill me with joy, the big puffy white clouds, the purest blue skies, the kindness of the people and art is everywhere you look. It's been three years since art flowed freely from me, but it's beginning to bubble up from my soul. Since 2005 and really even earlier I started feeling angels and higher energies speak to me and through a vibrational knowing, visions, and dreams lead me to study the Power of Quantum healing, and the Positive Power of Sound Therapy and Crystals. I am being led to create art that is illuminated with my very own energy frequencies and is encoded... with the healing vibrations of light and love. What does that look like, I'm not sure yet, but let's find out! Follow my journey...on Instagram. @johannaleelarson_artwork and Facebook What would happen if you turned off the noise, turned off the television, stopped the I have to do's (work, dishes, laundry, etc.) stop listening to what the world says you should be, should do, stop the madness of being on the ever revolving hamster wheel and instead (one of my most life changing words) make a choice to go within? What I can tell you from my own experience is it gets really quiet, and in the quiet you are able to hear the still small voice of your creator, the internal guide of your sacred divinity.
I began to hear this voice but for the longest time didn't recognize and resisted the guidance. I have flowed in visions and would often awake to in the earliest morning hours from dreams, ideas, creative words of wisdom, ceremonies of initiations, wild imaginings. My journal would come out and I would record and think deeply of what it all meant. |
AuthorHaving new eyes to see...having new perspectives...allowing the dreams, receiving the visions, the gifts from higher realms to "BE" created, to "BE" seen and shared, allowing yourself to speak and not be afraid to be heard. I am woman, I am a sacred divine essence of light and love. Archives
