Dreams...Inspire my art

Picture
Series: "Angels Among Us", #1 in the series.      Name of Painting: (open for discussion)
Do you have dreams?  Do you ever try and figure them out?  What are they speaking to you?  
Dreams are a big way in which I get inspiration for my art.  Sometimes I am flooded with ideas...and yes, I try to write them all down.  Another way I receive is through visions.  These visions can be like an impression and visual thought I can get.  Sometimes they won't leave me alone...meaning they will hang around me for days.  

In these new times, I am taking note of all images, thoughts and ideas.  It's like getting a free gift from God.  Even if I don't act right away on them...I find they will keep speaking to me for even months and years after receiving them.

The painting above started out as mountains and a river and then shifted into something else...often this will happen when I create from a free-flowing idea.  I made the mountains using a texture paste, then I added some gold leaf, then it set...weeks go by.  I add some blue for a river...weeks go by.  Then the painting begins to speak.  Angels come to me in my dreams, messages of feathers falling from the skies, thousands of feathers...an idea comes to me...and the painting speaks to me...I want to be an angel.  Angels among us, a message for the masses, a message of hope, and then I faith into action.  After two weeks of forming feathers with texture paste, a Dremel for carving in feather lines, constant adjustment of what she wants to look like.  When I finish...I just love her.  She is speaking to me, is she speaking to YOU?  What do you think she is saying?  What do you think her name is?  Write to me, reach out, I want to hear from you, what would you name this piece? 

I have heard a few names; the first one was Haniel.  Archangel Haniel, also known as Anael or Hanael, is a figure in Jewish angelology often associated with love, joy, and the planet Venus.  Haniel is also seen as the archangel of intuition and is said to guide individuals toward a joyful path by encouraging them to trust their inner guidance and follow their passions.  

This seems fitting...as God is speaking to me about finding joy in every moment, to help others find happiness within themselves by following their passions and to learn to trust the inner guidance.  I have been led to explore my passions and embrace the present moment.  

This painting was fun and came easily to me.  What do you think of the name Haniel?  Another name I heard was Aurelia symbolizing balance and tranquility.  She definitely exudes balance and tranquility, and the name Aurelia is derived from the Latin word for golden or the dawn, and she is all of that.

Maybe a new thought is based on how many will be in the series...there is 9 total.  The number of completions my daughter Christa tells me.  So maybe each one should be named for the qualities of love and light.  For an example, it may be Harmony, Unity, Joy, Compassion, Purity, Wisdom, Integrity, Humility and???  What would the last one be?

I have been dancing with angels for years...and they have been teaching me about my highest consciousness and embodying qualities that represent the truth of the light of love. 

Angels are not separate beings from us, at least that is how I feel about it since my near-death experience.  We ourselves were created in their likeness and the likeness of God, so if you think of God and angels as supreme beings then the next time you look in the mirror...yep, that's right consider yourself the same as God and angels.  We are not greater or lesser but instead we are One With All.  All created from the very source of creation.  God is within each person and the great awakening is the awareness of this and it's called Christ Consciousness.  We are all born with this awareness, we have just forgotten, and the world has taught us that God is out there somewhere and that he/she is separate from us.  

God has so many names and some think of God as a He and others a She, how about looking at God as both he and she as Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine the perfect harmony of both.

Other names God is known by is Source as in the Source of All creation, or the Prime Creator of All, or first nations often termed Wakan Tanka for Sacred Spirit, or Kitch Ogiima the Great Headman.   God doesn't seem to mind all the names...what matters is our heart, that we know without a shadow of doubt that we are loved, that We Are One and there is NO SEPARATION!  

Stay tuned for new art creations...another piece was finished today, and I will say it's truly inspirational.  
What is your inspiration in your life? 
How does God talk to you? 
I would love your input, so send me a note and say hello.

trust the process...

Judgment changes when you get to be the judge.  
How are you judging yourself, and how does that show up in your life?
How are you judging others?
How about more grace for yourself.  
How about more grace for others.
How about loving yourself like you have never loved yourself before, 
How about loving others right where there at.
Trust the process.


I was gifted this wonderful gift of Usui Reiki for my birthday
and it was given by a good friend and the maestro who taught me Reiki.  
For those who don't know what Reiki is,
it is a form of alternative medicine that focuses
on the idea that humans and everything are made up of flowing energy.  
This is actually a proven scientific fact.  
Usui Reiki is a Japanese technique of hands-on energy healing, developed by Mikao Usui,
that aims to promote healing, relaxation by channeling universal life energy
through the practitioner's hands.  
My teacher and friend who gifted me, also has a special gift of channeling visions as she gives Reiki healing.
Once you receive the vision, it's up to you to figure out what it means.  
I have been going to her for four years now.  The visions have shown me where I am stuck, where I am playing small, where I am in need of self-forgiveness, parts of me where I have anger still held, and what areas that I still have some inner work to do.  This time I was so very blessed with the accumulation of all that inner healing work and the joyful visions poured forth. 
The visions often have warnings and can give me a clue
that I need to maybe change the directions of my inner compass. 
I thought I might share a few of these visions, they are for me, but I am sharing in hopes that you also might get a message you can relate to in your life and for yourself.  

All messages are figureoutable, the word figureoutable coined by Marie Forleo.    

The first vision given; she sees it before I even get on the massage table.  
Stolen Identity, an identity that gets stolen.  Then I heard you saying...internal bleeding.
It's like a metaphor or symbol (I'm not really bleeding internally).  Next, she hears me say; I took with me all that I needed, I took with me all that I need.  I lost myself into your arms. 


I already know in my soul spirit what she is talking about...it's what I've been facing for years within myself.  
When I came to earth and chose my parents
and circumstances or lessons I would learn,
"I took with me all that I needed". 
Stolen identity, an identity that gets stolen...how has life stolen your true identity? 
From the moment we are born, we begin to forget who we truly are.  
We are fed what the world wants us to remember and be.
Maybe we are born into a rich family, and taught that somehow, you are better than others. 
Maybe you are born into a poor or moderate blue worker family
and got a dose of not good enough, never enough
and even if you work hard and rise above your circumstances,
your still not good enough somehow. Maybe you were taught that the good stuff was for others,
and you just weren't worthy enough.  
What about your culture, depending on our culture were born into
and the ways of that culture, maybe were taught to judge others that are different from us,
or from an early age were conditioned to conform to our local government and society
and it begins to shape your perceptions,
and we pit right and wrong against each other,
these are just a few of the ways we begin
to learn to separate ourselves from love,
from God who is love, from each other.  

Then there is the traumas or things that happen to us,
will we understand that they are happening for us? 
Will we learn we can forgive,
ourselves for our part, the thing or person that caused our trauma
or did that dreaded thing to us
that kept us caged in our own prison. 
We can let them go.
 I carried several traumas that happened to me as a child
all the way till I was in my sixties
...and it took a world catastrophe to help me wake up and realize
I didn't have to carry this sort of pain anymore,
I didn't have to keep the lies I was telling myself.   
That I could forgive, and let go of my own personal persecution of myself,
the victim mindset set free, the cleansing of my heart,
the blackness within had light shed on it and that was me,
I was the light,
and I lit up the room within my own heart
and in doing so,
facing the darkness of my emotions and thoughts,
they just faded away. 
In doing so, the letting go...
I became filled with light and love and had such an expansiveness within.   

I'm reminded of a verse in the bible in Isaiah 61:
I like the whole chapter and there are so many good messages that are for us currently,
but I will focus on verse one, where he has called me
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners.

  Just this sentence has such deep roots for me. 
I was that captive...having had something done to me as a child,
I was taken captive in the doing against my will. 
Then there is the prison I created
from the acts that kept me in a prison of my own making. 
Over the years, little by little God helped me unpack this chapter,
helped me figure out there were no fetters on my ankles,
there were no locks on my prison door, it was all created from within. 
I have to mention the best part of the chapter as Graham Cooke pointed out to me...the "Instead". 
Instead of ashes he will bestow on them a crown of beauty. 
Instead of mourning he will bestow on them the oil of joy. 
Instead of a spirit of despair, he will bestow on them a garment of praise.  

The next part of the vision that stood out to me was internal bleeding and I lost myself into your arms.  
 I met my beloved Ernie, and I lost myself into your arms.  
This is my thought.  It was easy to do so.  I think of identity; I think of Ernie and our relationship.
I allowed myself to become lost, to become a passenger and take a back seat in my own life,
as it was easier than facing my true self or working through my traumas and trust issues,
or my worthiness perceptions of myself,
it was easier than forgiving and doing the inner work.
It's easier to lay blame and stay victimized, or so I thought,
in hindsight I realize that forgiving and letting go of the story is what sets you free.
I had been internally bleeding
and while there have been many operations to stop the bleed
over the span of forty-four years of marriage
I was often doing harm, because I didn't know how to love myself,
or even allow me to be loved. 
Then there was the clinging onto my story part
where I just wouldn't let it go and allow for the healing.
Everything was my story, my pain, my perception of my trauma,
I shared it, I nurtured it, I identified with it.

 I couldn't even enjoy my day, my now moments,
because I continued to identify myself as that little girl,
that traumatized teen,
that young woman who couldn't face the darkness of her own shadows. 

All has shifted and today I am in a new relationship with Ernie.
​ I am the catalyst; it's about my inner state of being, healing and allowing myself to love and be loved.  
Just a shout out to my loving husband Ernie, thanks for loving me so fully.  

That was the first vision, and I had barely gotten on the table...Oh boy 

The second vision...
Outside your right nostril, I saw coming out, it was sort of a white worm.

I do an internet search...
Seeing white worms coming out of your right nostril
in a vision could symbolize a feeling
of being infected by negative thoughts, toxic ideas, or harmful influences entering your life,
potentially signifying a need to cleanse your mental space and protect yourself from outside negativity. 
Let go...let go of fear, let go of worry, go within and find your eternal peace.  
Joy, Love and Peace are powerful so find things that bring you into this power.  
Let go of judgement, be gentle with yourself.

What did you think it was?  
I made a mental note to watch what I'm ingesting
in social media, the movies I entertain myself with, others' opinions,
what's happening in the world today, remember, we create our own reality.
So, I choose to stay present and grateful. 
We are creator beings of love and light.
Live your life with creativity and passion. 
We are bridges between worlds, and this is how we can be world changers.
It's not about doing but instead about being.
Focus on inner peace and find ways to love yourself like you have never loved yourself before.
   I love to take walks, I love swimming in the ocean and being in nature,
I love to take myself out and date myself, I love to read and learn and grow, 
I love to create beautiful works of art that are healing not only to me,
but I know will help someone find their own bridge of truth.  

Excerpt from: The Wisdom of the Council by Sara Landon

If you want to heal the world you must first heal yourself.  
If you want to create a more loving, harmonious, beautiful, abundant world around you, 
you must first create it within you. 
 If you will remember this at all times, in all things, in all circumstances,
 then the first step is always you.  
Not what is going on out there, but what is going on within you.  

The third vision:   Hope your still following along, it only gets better.  

Wow, wow, Johanna…Ewwhhhhh, awahhhhh, very excited sounds, and giggles.  
I will share this with you, especially since I feel it is like, for your creativity. 
I see you and I am beginning to think that it's a vision. 
It’s you and it’s as if you are in front of a canvas
and you are ready to paint
and your hands are like golden light,
like they are sparkling and also as you move your hands, you don’t have a brush,
it’s like you move your hands and you let loose,
it’s not like silver dust, but golden dust, like golden light,
it comes out of your hands. Like there is light, light, light in your hands. 

Awwwwwh. Softly, okay these hands are connected to the heart
and I see like a regular heart,
like a new heart is beating,
and where there is one of the veins, I see there is like a snake,
 it’s green and then it’s beating the wings, like a big butterfly, (makes beating sounds of wings). 
These two animals are like part of your heart. 

Well, golly that sure sounded nice...
Let's see if we can break this down...the first part is so lovely and leaves such a beautiful impression and since I paint spiritual art, and my intention has always been to awaken the soul and stir your spirit, that part of the vision brings me great pleasure...with every stroke of your brush, your hands, your heart pours forth loving energy, providing that is where your heart is and it's who you are.  You can only give what you are, and I feel myself weave golden light and love throughout every creation.  

The next part of the vision about a new heart, a green snake and one that has wings like a butterfly, beating, beating and how these two animals are part of my heart.

To see a green snake like a part of my veins in my new heart...a green snake has special significance, due to the color green and its spiritual meaning, green is the symbol of spring, hope, and good sensations; pointing to the fact that goodness, joy, and prosperity are coming my way...seeing a green snake is connected to new life.

Then if you add that it has wings and its wings like a butterfly,
and they are beating, beating, and these two animals are connected to my new heart.  

This is what my soul spirit was speaking to me
as I investigated the meanings of this vision.

The flying snake and the butterfly wings in this setting are speaking to me of transformation,
as the snake sheds its skin,
and that was hooked to a different message I received about taking off my skin,
as in letting go of my old self and my old stories,
also the butterfly is all about transformation and transmutation,
a complete shedding of what once was safe and known,
going through the incredible shift from the darkness of its cocoon
to the emergence into the light,
within the butterfly was hidden knowledge,
and the butterfly knew in its spirit what to do and then had to trust the process, as did the snake. 
 A spiritual elevation or transcendence,
or the gaining of a higher level of knowledge or consciousness and then this, a new heart. 
An awakening, as I beat my wings in this new version of me.
The portal is open...let go of what you think you know.
Suttle changes are happening within each and every heart.

The last vision I want to share with you sums it all up.  There were many more, but these are the ones that I felt I was to share, they seem to all have a cohesiveness that linked them together.  


Awhhhhhh,
Wow, wow, wow, wow
I hear something…I heard it before…
It’s ok, it’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fine. 
It’s perfect timing, it’s like the closest, no judgment,
and while I hear this no judgment, I see a woman,
she has a sort of veil over her face and the body
a sort of sheet or veil over her body and it is as if she is turning to watch someone else
and that someone else, who she is looking at is you. 
And also, the woman with the veil is you. 
Like an old you, looking to the new you. 
And like this old you, with the rock...somehow could not really see,
could not really speak
and to me it’s like that part the woman with the veil is saying
I should have done that before,
and the new one is saying, no, it’s perfect,
like we trust the process.  

Me:  This brings tears to my eyes. 
The transformation is complete. 
I have been in a season of transition for a very long time. 
Now we have entered a new season, the new golden era of Aquarius.  
I think of the old me,
in the vision the old me is covered in a sort of sheet or veil over her face and body
and my mind goes to the practice of a shroud
used in the traditional practice of death,
in some cultures, often symbolizing purity, simplicity, or a transition to the afterlife...
in this case I'm not dead but watching my new me, with my new heart.  
I have let go the old and embraced the new me...
a new identity, the shedding of the old skin and an awakening to a new journey,
a new way of perceiving, 
new memories to create, a new tune,
a new song that vibrates in the beauty of love and light.  

The old me was weighted down with the heavy emotions and lies
that often shrouded my sight
and I was not able to speak my truths as I didn't even know what my truths were.  

When I let go of my judgement, against me 
and against the world and others I began to know in my knower that there is only love. 
God is love, in all and is ALL.
So yes, when you look into the mirror you're looking into the face of God.
We are co-creators with God.
That we are truly all one together and we are connected to All.  
See the higher perspective in everything.
Look inside.  What are you creating?
The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. 
Heaven on Earth is here and now.
Let's create together a place of beauty, of compassion, of joy,
a place of light and love.

The new me...recognizes that it's all perfect,
there are no should haves, could haves, or I wish I would haves. 
Today I am trusting the process,
today I know that I don't have to make it happen,
because all my dreams are coming to me,
there is no effort, instead I have found that I am worthy
to receive the light of love.
Every day is my dream coming true.

Release all judgement...
Trust and allow the process!

When Opportunity Knocks

Picture
Don't you just love when an unexpected opportunity presents itself to you?  That's exactly what happened this month.  Out of the blue, not expecting anything this month...gifts and opportunity came knocking on my doorstep.  
I find the more I am open to new experiences; the more experiences come and find me. 

How about you?  Are you finding that it's not an effort-Ing thing to make it happen, but more of a following an open heart, a follow your desires and the opportunities come to you, the gifts come to you.  

Tell me about your unexpected gifts and opportunities.

The first time I really recognized it was happening, it was covid and I wasn't working, and we were talking of moving to Mexico.  I had lost my position in the restaurant I had been working in and was grounded at home.

In the quiet I began to ask questions to God.  You know...who am I, why am I here, how can I make any money if I can't work?  Then I had an epiphany, a light bulb moment...I asked God for opportunities and gifts.  I wanted lots of opportunities and gifts, and if God and the angels could help me out, I would be totally open to receiving their guidance.  

To my surprise the gifts and the opportunities started pouring into my life.  A phone call to create a mural for a friend's wife's birthday, can you come and help me paint my house, gifts of money came in the mail...seriously...I was flabbergasted.  Paintings began to sell; opportunities came to place my art in retail settings.  

I began to realize, God told us to ask, to knock and that he wants to give gifts to his children, that abundance is our birthright.  Some of the struggle began to melt, I began to lean into allowing it all to take place, to allow it all to come to me.  To let go of the worries, the fear of not enough, the fear of that I wouldn't be cared for, or protected. 

The more I let it go the easier life is getting for me and the more peace I have in my heart.  

My surprise this month was a text asking if I could do a mural for a restaurant in a small town called Cozoaltepec, Oaxaca, Mexico. 

​ I love how there is so much appreciation for art in Mexico.  Everywhere you see murals on the sides of buildings and inside the buildings, many small and large art galleries, they even have an art school that offers free education for the arts because of a generous benefactor.   

This little town where I was to create the mural, was located close to Playa Auga Blanca, a super nice beach town with tide pools and rocks to climb.  The owner of the restaurant graciously offered to pick me up along with my daughter Christa Clark, and drive us to the Beach town, where he had a room for us to stay in, and every morning and evening he drove me to the restaurant, and I prepped and painted for four days.  He also brought clients to experience Rolfing with Christa.  We were so very blessed.  A special thank you to Noe'.

In the evenings after a day of work, we got to walk on the beach, play in the surf, share a beer or two, or a glass of wine.  It was truly a blissful gift. 

Rolfing with Christa
Picture
,We were able to enjoy local families, as Noe', introduced us to the makers of the special tostadas, who made us dinner, provided small tokens of love.  More and more we are entering a time of peace where light and love reign.  Where goodness, kindness, compassion are the prevailing superpowers.  More and more people are waking up to light of love.  

I needed a ladder to stand on and even though Noe' didn't have one, he sees one in a yard and stops and asks the men there if he could barrow it, and just like that I had a ladder to use for a few days.  

​The more we all come together in harmony and solidarity and begin helping each other out the more peace will reign.  Let us, let go of our differences, our offences, our judgments, our self-centered ways that we have been taught, and let us pick up an INSTEAD. 
Mark 12:30-31 tells us: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. 'The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 'There is no other commandment greater that these."

Picture
The name of the restaurant is "The Flavors of My Land".  What are the flavors of your land?  Is it the flavor of peace, of love, of kindness, of generosity, of compassion, of looking at your neighbor with eyes of love?  It begins with our own hearts.

I ran out of time to repair the right side of the circle...darn now I will have to go back next week and fix it and maybe take a walk on the beach!

​Thank you all for your loving kindness, Johanna

The Ebb and flow of change

Picture

DANCES WITH WATER....NEWEST PAINTING
in a series called " We Are One with All".  
The vibrant colors and intricate design create a sense of movement and fluidity, perfectly capturing the essence of dancing with water.  The glow of the moon adds just a touch of mystical light, while the multicolored waves and swirls and energy lines represent how we are intricately connected to water, to the ocean, to all conscious life.     

You all are among the first to see it.  I'm working on creating at least six paintings in each series, and in this series, I am working on how we are connected to all the elements, air, land, water, trees, fire. I now have two finished, and almost a third.  
Why am I painting these?  During my experiences with near death, I was able to see how everything with conscious life is connected, we need each other, we are one with each other, we are love and light and we are to love one another.
Stay tuned for more paintings 

MESSAGES
                                                                                  
I receive these dreams and visions, so many ideas flowing from my heart.  I just keep writing them down and allow them to percolate as I consistently work on finishing each one. 
We are in a season of rapid changes and high cosmic energies, and manifesting comes quickly...be clear on what you want...but do allow yourself to dream and dream big.
Once God told me I didn't dream, and when I did it wasn't big enough.
Maybe that's because I was living to make the wage and couldn't see beyond the day-to-day grind.
I was playing it small, staying safe, and dying inside.
You are the creator with God, so personally I am dreaming and creating New Earth, or Heaven on Earth. 
Once you start dreaming, and start envisioning then the flow opens, and more and more ideas come to you. 
What would that look like for you? Is there something you have always wanted to do, but have laid it down or shelved it in your closet?  Mine was being an artist and speaking. 
Some of you don't know that I had cancer 25 years ago and lost one of my vocal cords. 
I didn't think the dream of speaking would ever happen for me.
I didn't think I would or even felt good enough to paint and be called an artist.
God has shown me that I can speak, and there are many different ways to speak. 
I speak with this blog, and the messages I receive are to be shared with you.
I speak through and with my art, not only does my art speak but is filled with the healing energies of love.
My art always finds the person who needs its voice and healing powers. 
 I was also given a gift of being a prison minister and was part of a team that spoke weekly in the Oregon Prison Program, the men would come, and, in a way, they were a captive audience. 
It was great practice for speaking and when I spoke from my heart, I could feel the angels and all of heaven dancing with joy, many were healed, and many were touched, and lives were changed.


I know God is sharing with me messages that I can speak and share with my art and these posts. 

One vision I received this month was a picture of feathers,
thousands of feathers and bright orbs of light flowing to earth. 
The message was that thousands upon thousands of angels are flowing onto earth to help
with all the high energies and rapid changes that are taking place. 
Remember you can ask them for help, they are waiting for you to ask for their assistance. 
When you do, say it aloud.  Same with your prayers.  Remember to thank the angels when they help you. 
I ask all the time, even for the simple things like busses, and colectivos, and often for the computer angels to guide me with wisdom on how to complete a task. 
I'm amazed at how wonderful this works. 
So don't be afraid to ask your angels for help, for guidance,
for answers to questions, the answers come in the most interesting of ways. 

Do you hear from angels?  Let me know in the comments below. 
I would love to hear from you. 
Tell me what you think of this painting, does the message resonate with you? 
Are you getting similar messages? 

!!!!EXCITING NEWS!!!!!
  I am being encouraged to expand and share my talents and messages,
to collaborate and be one of the leaders of a woman's retreat. 
I personally invite each and every one of you, I do hope you will come. and please, bring a friend.
Just a little bit about why we are having it, who the retreat leaders are and where it's being held.

Guided Message from higher realms.
You are all so very loved and protected. 
When you are feeling afraid...just call on your angels and speak out loud.
BREATHE DEEP THREE TIMES AND OUT LOUD SAY
I AM SAFE...I AM SAFE...I AM SAFE
I AM GUIDED...I AM NEVER ALONE
I AM PROTECTED BY THE LIGHT OF LOVE
DON'T FORGET TO BREATHE DEEP
ASK THE ANGELS TO COME AND BRING YOU A SONG OF LOVE.
I received one of these songs the other day. 
I was feeling a bit low after a rough night's sleep and thankfully I was on my way to "Yoga with Christa J. Clark". 
This means walking in nature, catching a bus, and more walking 10-12 blocks in town.  
While I was walking a tune started in my head.

"I'm filling up on Sunshine...I'm filling up on the air I breathe...I'm filling up on puppy dogs and love how they wag at me...I'm filling up on me.  I'm filling up my love meter, I'm filling up with all the love for me.  I'm filling up with the sounds of the birds, singing in the trees, I'm filling up on the trees, they're always waving and wanting to dance with me."   And so, on it went.
​
Funny thing was that I had to stop in the street and write it down.  It did totally change my mood.

​We are in a time of great changes. 
You could say we are in a light filled revolution. 
There is an expansion of light and the expansion of consciousness of the whole of humanity. 
The light is expanding day by day, and moment by moment.
Some of you may know that we are in a new age, known as the Golden Age or The Age of Aquarius.
This year is a high energy year and there will be and has been great changes already.
Everything is being illuminated and believe it or not when light expands, darkness diminishes.  
We are being called to allow our hearts to shine.  
To connect the light of our hearts with other human beings' lights.
Be Love Filled.
We are messengers of light and love, we are love.
God is Love.
As we raise our vibrational light and expand our love
we increase the light of the overall development of humanity.
We are being called to forgive.
Forgive all those who have harmed us.
To ask for forgiveness of all those we have harmed.
Above all to forgive ourselves.
Make Peace.
Make peace with yourself, other people, souls and beings.
Take the path that is best for you.
Self-Love without judgement and without feelings of resentment.
Discard everything that we no longer want to carry around with us.
The Great Letting Go.
This is a precious opportunity.  
So, I encourage you to let go.  We are in a time of letting go.  
Let go of the realities of the past.  We only have this moment, the past is over, forgive.
Let us move forward, step by step, let us kindle the lights in our hearts and together 
our hearts will connect us; our hearts will heal us.
The woman's retreat is set for the spring equinox. 
A time when day and night are standing in perfect balance, 
where light and dark unite as one.  
Both within and without.
A perfect time, a powerful time to come to a woman's retreat.
To be guided in renewal, guided in ceremonies of letting go of what doesn't serve you anymore.  
To allow yourself to come into transformation. To fill up on the Light of Truth
This is the RISING
Together we will as women
"RISE" 
Together we'll create a safe place for healing, for growth, and alignment.
Come
Immerse Yourself in A Circle of Love.
Give yourself a gift that will keep on giving, 
This is Self-love 
We have rented the beautiful Home...Casa Menta
It's a two-minute walk to the ocean.
This will be a very intimate group of women, and we will all Rise together.

Far from home...

Far From Home
Poem and art by Johanna Lee Larson
Are your dreams filled with far distant lands?
Maybe its your inner knowing, your inner compass,
​ Foretelling what is to come.
Truth speaking to you in the night, 
your true destiny whispering to come.
One step leads to another, 
just say yes and your journey has begun.
Once you say yes, the river of life
It really gets flowing...
Here in your knowing is magical lands,
and people waiting to greet you.
Now you're on a journey, where self-discovery soars,
where your true calling weaves a golden thread, 
your wings can finally spread,
just take the next right step.
Where will you be guided?
Will you go chasing castles, or Paris,
or a cottage by the sea, 
what will it be?
"Egypt" you say, to see the ancient sites,
I hear Isis calling your name, 
A river of life is calling you,
listen and heed the call...
Do yourself a favor my friend, 
Allow yourself the gift, say yes to your dreams,
Your destiny is calling,
So, begin to write of your adventures..."Far From Home"
Everyone is waiting...your next book is on the tip
of your tongue.

     Hello to all you shining souls, I want to wish all of you a beautiful season filled with love and remembrance of family and loved ones.
  Let us celebrate this full and flowing year. 
We are quickly coming to the end of 2025, and I have so much to be thankful for, this year was filled with many blessings, substantial growth and expansion, joyful celebrations with friends and family, travels and excursions bringing me to meet new friends with the hopes of expanding our friendships and collaborations in the New Year.  

Eight years ago, Ernie my sweet husband and I were living on the East Fork of the Lewis River.  It was a place one could call heaven on earth, as it was situated right next to the East Fork and brought us endless joy watching the wildlife and the peaceful and sometimes violent ways of the river.

For Christmas our last year there, Ernie had this wonderful rock engraved for me. 
It's an interesting story and worth telling. 
We had some wonderful friends the Cornell's and they lived near the Washougal River, their property was full of these huge slabs of rock, and they gifted us with several.   Kevin and Ernie, drug and flipped these big rocks and lifted them into our little truck that strained from the weight.   We drove them home to our Orchards home and placed them in the yard, many a backache my husband and I had from moving them.   

Then many years later, we had an offer to purchase our land, and it was generous enough to accept. We owned almost 2 acres, and it had a couple of barns, and they were full of our treasured tools and goods. 

A year later the sale went through, and after waiting and waiting for this news, they only gave us eight days to move.  Not so much time to move and eliminate 20 years of accumulated household stuff. 

Ernie was working and was out of town, we still didn't have a new place to call our home, which ended up being this beautiful "Rivers Rest" home.  So, we asked our daughter Janelle, who had a home in Hazel Dell, Washington if we could move all our fireplace wood, these rocks and a host of other outdoor tools and such. 
Since Ernie was out of town working it was up to me to get these rocks and wood moved.

I have a wonderful friend Candi Chriss whose husband Scott had some very big men as his sons. 
They offered to help me move these rocks to Hazel Dell. 
Now let me tell you this was no easy task, as we had moved them once before, they were huge, super thick 2-3 inches, and very awkward to grasp and lift. 

So, for hours, and hours and over a few days we moved all these rocks and a barn full of equipment.  Exhausting work, which I am so grateful to the Chriss boys for helping me.  They also helped us move our things into a storage unit until we could find another place to live. 
So, a hearty shoutout to these men!

The sale of the River House was finally final, and we were able to move, we had been staying for a month in the Quality Inn & Suites and had all our household goods in a storage unit and then...yes, once again we had to move the rocks from Hazel Dell to Yacolt Washington.   

Well, wonders and miracles do exist in our friends and family and how they love us. 
These same Chriss men, actually volunteered to move us again, all our stuff from the storage unit and yes...once again all those super heavy rocks and a cord or more of wood and equipment.  

They began to question where we were taking them as they followed us down the freeway, and way out to the boonies to the river house about 25 miles from Hazel Dell. 
Once they arrived, they soon understood why we wanted to live so far out. 
The expanse of the East Fork Lewis River
​ lay below the back deck of the house, and it was truly a place of tranquility and relaxation. 

We grew an expanded in this home
and it was a place of getting to know what we did want and what we didn't want.  
Contrasts of life, driving and spending an hour to hour and a half to and from work from Yacolt to Portland Airport where I worked and Ernie doing the same, eventually helped us decide to move from our heaven on earth.
 
We will be forever grateful for all the sacrifice these men, Kevin Cornell and the Chriss men made for us. 
It was fitting when Ernie had this rock engraved with Rivers Rest.  
When we sold this house for Blue House our floating home on Lake River, that is truly when the rocks got a rest from their travels. 

Sometimes we take chances, and risks
thinking we know what we want,
and all the experiences are helping us figure out what is our best fit.  

While we were living at the river's rest home, we were Prison Ministers once to twice a week,
traveling upwards to two hours after a day's work to bring about the good news,
we were fortunate enough to have a great team
and it made a huge impact to many of the men we met,
who still to this day, reach out to us. 
 We were also doing are thing with our regular full-time jobs,
I was painting a large commission piece
and was running a side hustle of antique and reworked furniture in Battleground
all at the same time. 

 It was fun, but exhausting
and again, learned some lessons of contrast of what I did want to do and didn't want to do. 
This season came to an end once we decided to sell the river house,
and create a smaller footprint and not work so hard. 
  
What I figured out was that I wanted ease and grace,
less travel to and from work, so a new job closer to home,
  less after work activities like my side hustle,
more time for art and trying to figure out how to be a full-time artist.  
I just didn't know how this would come about.  
Trust is the key...you are always, always being guided.

We are now 8 years forward, now living in Oaxaca, Mexico. 
So much had to happen for this to come about,
partly the loss of my beloved mother Ginny whose birthday is on December 26,
 the loss of my son-in-law Gerald Clark, who's birthday is today December 23,
and my brother Chuck Sharps passing shortly after,
and much other life changing events that were catalysts to get us where we are today.  

One thing is for sure...life is precious, and flowing down the river of life,
and sometimes it's lazy and calm and other times its turbulent
and thrashing all you have worked so hard to achieve.  
So, if there is something you always wanted to do
go do it...and thrive in the fun of doing it. 
Be courageous and begin to allow your dreams to come true.
Even if it means selling all your stuff and moving to different country. 

 God has my attention,
I have this journey
and this was the beginning of the next part of my life,
even though at the time I didn't know what my purpose was
or what the journey would entail and the sacrifices that would be endured and made.
It's not all easy, I miss my daughter Janelle and our granddaughter Lennon,
technology helps but it's not the same when you're so far away from home. 
Thankfully we are in the same city as our daughter Christa,
and we get together often and share hot cocoas and celebrate the holidays together.
 Follow the guidance of your angels and your higher wisdom,
the still quiet voice from within,
 allow yourself a gift, follow your dreams,
float on down the river and share your truths and adventures.

So many events and experiences have taken place to shift my perspective since arriving here in Mexico.
I cherish all that life has to offer.
I am profoundly grateful for all people, animals, the earth
and everyone's journeys through this place called life on earth.  
I consider all of you who love and support me as cherished gifts from God.
While in this season of love, of giving and receiving I want you to know how very grateful I am for all of you. 

I hope as your reading this that you will take a look at your life and your life journey.
What is it you want, and what changes can you make to get there?
It may include sacrifice and being away from family and friends,
it may mean you know longer resonate with some people
or even family as they don't understand your journey.  
Love yourself and allow them to be them, 
move in the direction you are called to go.
The road less traveled won't be familiar,
but it will reward you with great joy as you discover who you have always been.
Everything you want to be, you already are.
Merry Christmas.

In case you need a reminder,
you are sovereign, free, powerful, creative, deserving, worthy,
capable of creating a life that you love,
one full of passion and purpose, joy and magic, peace, love and kindness.
I love you endlessly, Johanna

escuchar! Escuchar! Are you listening?

Escuchar in Spanish means to listen, to hear. Over and over, I kept hearing escuchar, escuchar, are you listening Johanna? 

This month has been both exciting and also challenging.  Our home has entertained family, our beautiful cousin Jenna, visiting from San Francisco, California, and we also hosted a five-week school, teaching Structural Integration, also known as Rolfing, lovingly nick-named after Ida Rolfe.  

My husband and I volunteered our home for the school and in return we became models for the students to practice on...lucky us! 

​The school is run by Christa J. Clark and it teaches a form of body work that is transformative,
designed to free your body from adhesions and imbalances. 

By aligning the body with gravity, this therapy helps to restore a natural, effortless posture, enhancing mobility and ease in everyday movements.    Through a set of 10 specific sessions, Structural Integration rebalances your body's left-right, front-back, and top-bottom planes, reducing resistance and optimizing how your body functions. 

Over a period of years, I have had several 10 series.  It truly does liberate, and through it my body has responded by experiencing a profound boost in energy, the releasing of the adherence of this fascia and the body work has brought to me balance in my structure, I become more grounded, I gain height, flexibility, and my favorite part is the "CLARITY".  

It's like opening a door to a whole new highway, or world, one that I didn't know existed until I received my first session, way back in 2015.  That's when the fog began to lift and a new awareness helped guide me to where I am today, living in Mexico, having realized that the beautiful American dream that I was taught to achieve, was not really what I wanted at all. 

If you are curious or want to experience this wonderful transformative body work, I have provided a link to the school. If your visiting Oaxaca, Mexico, you can sign up for and overall body session or go for the whole 10 series and be amazed!

S​O WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH LISTENING?  
EVERYTHING!
This is my story...Ernie my husband and I went for a visit to our home in Washington State, for the month of June. 

Our daughter Janelle lives in our floating home on Lake River, and just like any other home it has its list of repairs. 

We were there to replace a window and put in stair treads and risers, and of course sometimes when you do one thing, another issue is created. 
When we replaced the window, it was smaller and so then we needed to buy paint and paint around the window, which in turn led to noticing how faded and worn the paint was on that side of the house.  Yes, this led to buying more paint and getting out the ladders and paint rollers to paint that entire side of the house.  

There was a time when I actually painted houses for a living, and we had painted this whole house ourselves.  This is no easy task...as the house is floating, moving and is two stories tall.  

I'm getting up in the years now and my usual gusto and youthful I can do it attitude struggled to adjust to climbing the ladder and hold onto a tray of paint.  I could feel the fear well up in me the higher I climbed, and my knees must have known as I was using them to help hold myself steady on the ladder.  It only takes one turn incorrectly...I heard a pop in my knee. 

Makes no difference, I still had more than half of that side of the house to finish.  

Once the day was done, the house not completed, I found my way to the second-floor deck and settled into the lounge chairs with a glass of wine and some herbal medicine (pot).   Now mind you, I had let go of all these vices in Mexico and for over a year, had distanced myself from the energetic draw they seemed to have on me. 

Now the door was opened again.  My knee hurt and I still had over half a house to go.  So, until the job was done, I continued medicating each night. 

I was quite sure that once I left Washington State and returned to Mexico, I could easily return to my choices of letting go these vices and get back to my healthy lifestyle of walking daily, yoga, and juicing, and the forward journey of creating my dreams.  

Only, that is not what happened. 

Instead, once we returned, I found myself seeking out a supplier for more.  Every day, medicating, as I hobbled around, and the inner struggle began.  My desire to medicate, and my stronger desire to quit.  What I needed was a catalyst to shift the draw it had on me.  

My relationship with God is very strong, and I hear very clearly.  "It is a medicine and not to be used for recreational purposes".  This message was for me, and there is no judgement towards marijuana at all, since my near death experiences in Mexico, it has been made clear that my journey and purpose does not include alcohol or other substances.  I have a clear vision to achieve, and my focus must not be cloudy. I'm not the same woman who left Washington State almost four years prior.  

To AWAKEN you to the truth: it's not about what happens without, it's about the choices you make within.  

Sometimes, what's broken needs to crumble to dust so that you can create something new and beautiful.  

There is a way, a path within you, a beautiful and light filled path, where you feel so held and cherished...a path where you don't have to figure it out anymore, where you can let go of control and allow yourself to be gently guided in love.  

What happens, when you don't listen?  There are many stages of listening.  There is the one where you are nodding your head, saying yes, I hear you. You're getting instructions, but really your saying...I will, just not now.  That is where I was.  

I was hearing and experiencing "STOP, GO BACK, YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!"  "BAD IDEA...GO BACK...YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY NOW!"  Instead of listening with immediate action, stopping cold turkey, I was trying to reason my way into the incremental process of just slowly lessoning my usage. 

The power some of these vices have over me is like a very strong magnetic pull, that sends me into a continuous looping program, where even though I may enjoy the experience of receiving the freedom of expanded creativity from the medicine, I also at the same time go into a place of judgement of myself.  A continuous loop.  

I have seen my path forward...pleasure ahead, this way to where you should go.  

I have found that everything is a blessing, yes even the things you may view as a not so good experience, usually allowed, to bring you an opportunity to have a new perspective, but seriously, every blessing isn't always comfortable.

Enter my catalyst...I was asking for something to break my energetic pull to these vices I had re-opened the door to. 

Our company, and school starting was just what I asked for, only I was being stubborn and ignoring all the signs I was being given.  

First, I got a scratchy throat.  Then I started losing my voice.  Still stubborn, and ignorant to my still quiet voice. 

Even though the signs were obvious...I still wasn't listening...things in life are sometimes allowed, to help shift the direction you have chosen.  

Within days, I was fully emersed in a horrendous head cold. I have not had a serious cold since before 2015, and forgotten how miserable one could be.  Headaches, lost 75% of my hearing, congestion, fever, loss of appetite, lack of energy.  OH MY.   Over and over, I kept hearing the words ESCUCHAR, ESCUCHAR....ARE YOU LISTENING NOW?  

A friend asked me but why did you lose your voice, and I replied, "You can't listen if you're talking".

The good news... remember there is always a blessing if you're grateful and looking for one, my blessings were that the energetic pull was broken.  

We are entering a completely new reality.  The aquarian age is a reality where truth resonates, and everything else sticks out like a sore thumb.  This higher frequency energy is the PATH to feeling great and in alignment.  Part of the path is RELEASING what is not a match for the higher frequencies.   

After my experience of near death, I had said "YES" to this new path.  I had said "Yes, I want to live God". 

I had been asked to release the dreams of the past to make space for the dreams of my soul's blueprint.    

Cycles are completing and everyone's frequency, awareness and consciousness are upgrading. 

Are you listening? 

Has a small still voice been calling you to maybe let go of what you usually do, or how you live and pick up a new mantle...one that gives you permission to lead from your heart and soul? 

One that is calling you to trust that you are supported and protected as you let go of the old, to allow the emergence of "A New Way, A New Path, one that is full of Ease and Grace, your Soul's Blueprint.

Even if your dreams are simple, even if they are huge, we are being given the chance to LISTEN and EXPAND WITH JOY.

My dreams include bringing to life my experiences, dreams and visions after experiencing near death, these events have given me a story to tell the world.  One about how you are the 'Light of Love".  

I have only just begun to create my dreams...follow me as it unfolds, become my support team.  You can sign up for my Newsletter, and as I grow and learn and create, you will be the first to know and share my journey and receive special discounts and drawings for prints as I am led to create them. 

​This is all new for me...a huge learning curve, and I have said yes to learning and leaning into this new way before me.  Many changes are coming, including the re-working of my website, which is in the works, so please have grace for me as I grow into this dream.

Cave Time-Mother nature helps out

Picture
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

bridging realms: How art & Healing converge

Picture
Picture
    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


  • Vibrations: Every stroke and color choice are intentional, designed to resonate with the viewers energy field and promote balance and harmony.  
  • Crystal Light Therapy: Crystals are known for their healing properties.  By incorporating them into my art, it amplifies the healing vibrations and creates a more profound impact on the viewer.
  • Sound Instruments:  Sound has the power to heal on a cellular level.  I use various sound instruments, such as singing bowls and chimes, gongs, to infuse my art with healing frequencies.

Sacred Artistry: "Using Sound and Light for Spiritual Healing"

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.

Colors Are A Frequency Of Sound

Picture


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.

    Having 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.
