Maximize the flow of energy in your home

If your home and office energizes, balances and relaxes you - you'll feel healty; inspired to create success and you'll have great relationships in your personal and professional lives. That's the power of Feng Shui. It is referred to as "The Cause and Effect of Energies in the Environment on you.” True happiness has nothing to do with wealth, and it's not fleeting. It lasts and permeates everything. It is a feeling that you experience in your body, mind and soul, where you bring your dynamic energetic presence into. So the old saying that you are what you think (or anything you absorb as a matter of fact), could equally be called: You are what you inhabit, or "You are what you see!" Obviously, your home is a reflection of who you are and the choices you make. If you then change both your personal and your home's energetic state, you work on two levels of good fortune at the same time. You change the human luck by changing your thoughts, feelings and actions and you change your earth luck by changing the feng shui which is the expression of your thoughts, feelings and actions in your home. Once you raise the energetic vibration of your emotions and your mind, you will attract more positive situations in your life. Start by decluttering and cleaning up your mess and you will get out of any dense energy waves.

Remember, everything in your home including the floor plan, furniture, materials, colours and artwork — influence the flow of active and passive energy in the Quantum field.
If the home is decorated in beautiful, harmonious colours, with your favorite art and objects around you, it will become an impressive, creative environment that is a flow of living energy.

These waves act much like the brainwaves produced by your own thinking processes. Because an environment is a flow of living energy, you could say that
a home has a consciousness,
a mind of its own, an identity & spirit It takes time and study to understand these laws that lead to positive changes, but once you understand them, it just takes practice and discipline to create better human luck for yourself. Try it out for yourself...

The Power of Art & Healing

The key ingredient for transformation is the courage to jump into life! Nothing can come to you unless you invite it...Just as we need the darkness to see the light, noise to recognise silence, fullness to understand emptiness, we need ugliness to appreciate beauty, and need the ego mind to become conscious of our being. When we grow up we begin to compete with others to proof our self-worth, thus experiencing both success & failure. When we experience victory we feel strong & superior, when we experience defeat we feel weak and inferior and begin to struggle with our initial self-centred attitude that the world should evolve around our needs and give us what we need. Our wounded ego then keeps us small and fearful, and unfortunately most people live in this state of wounded ego-mind that has a poor self-esteem/image, that is full of negative and self-defeating thoughts and emotions. They see themselves as victims and life being a struggle. When we don't receive unconditional love we think others are against us and we begin to shrink. Our wounds inhibit us & cause our energy to leak out. Healing is the antidode and that painful process that is necessary to close these holes. Remember, in order to transform coal into a diamond, great pressure, pain and suffering are absolutely necessary. In this way suffering helps us to learn the needed lessons to grow in intelligence and consciousness. Because unless we suffer, we don't see the need to come out of suffering. Therefore we must be willing to embrace our painful wounds face them, accept them and take full responsibility for them. We need to forgive those who have hurt us and learn the lessons that where contained within that experience. It is important to be aware that all experience is neutral and in order to heal fully we must be willing to let go of all our believes, conditioning, judgements, negative emotions (jealously, greed, envy etc.) and allow our old ego to die. Our physical bodies are full of suppressed pain that keep us from seeing that we are infact already perfectly powerful, beautiful & extraordinary! However, with forgiveness and understanding of the needed lesson, the pain, sorrow, regret fear, anger and blame that we've experienced as a consequence of trauma are transformed into compassion, forgiveness and gratitude...and our energy is restored into wholeness. When we feel whole, our life becomes more creative and joyful, and we become more relaxed, present and content. But for that to happen we need to fix our personal problems first and make correcting our mind pattern your main priority in life. Feel what you feel. If you feel depressed, feel it, look at the physical and mental reasons and then release it. Do not stop until you are successful. You are the only one responsible for everything in your life. A person must be happy within him/ herself. No other being can make you happy if you are not already happy. Our biggest enemies are really our greatest teachers, without them we would not know our fears and hate. That is how you know it and then transmute it. Everything that you'll ever need is already within you. Be aware of it and apply corrective applications. Always move forward, never give up. Consciously remove all victim mentality, abusive thoughts, low self- worth, need for insulation and feelings of lack. Each person on earth must gain control of his/her own minds to find out who and what they truly are within Godmind and teach others to do the same.

Art that makes you feel better

.
All spiritual teachings demonstrate to us that we need to find our true human potential – to strive to be all that one can be and recognize our own “true beauty” that emanates from within. It was from that notion that I felt inspired to transform myself not only physically, intellectually and in ethical terms, but also in psycho-energetically respect. As a typical woman I sought peace, harmony and cosiness and cared for all things sensual, especially since they were crudely lacking in my life until that point. I used this situation to my advantage and developed an artistic language that aims to ”ennoble” others to get the Creative Spirit’s idea of perfection. In my work I thus hope to inspire people to reflect on the experience of spontaneous joyful, mindful living that makes one feel good. It is my conviction that we need more art in the world that promotes health, positive energy and stability– art that calms you down, yet simultaneously lifts you up - raising your consciousness along the way. My work has all that in mind; it is very intriguing, warm and mature, and designed at the core to enhance one’s energy. Characterised with a great amount of sensitivity, musical rhythm and visual decadence it embraces dynamic movement with stillness.
I firmly believe that any piece of fine art possesses the qualities of its author and by using my own personal standards as an example; I have chosen to produce paintings on the subject of the expressive human being whose strength radiates from the inside out. The figures in my work therefore show a capability for balance, wisdom, purity of mind, tranquillity, control over one’s senses, fitness, goodness, truthfulness, light, poise and equilibrium.

When we are aware in these inner areas - predominantly in the psychic nerve system and the super-conscious nerve system - the cells of our bodies respond and we begin to look more refined too. Also, if a woman is going for perfection, she has to supplement herself with masculinity – meaning absorbing the best qualities that the best of men possess; in the same way as a man who is going on to perfection has to supplement himself with femininity - seeking the best of female qualities. When you manage to bring together these male & female principles into one single, successful artistic composition, the artwork will then be enhanced by a powerful ascending, actinic and contemplative quality.

Conclusively my paintings are about combining these masculine powers with feminine gentleness & male strength with female beauty - conveying a certain attitude that women possess a divine faculty of separating within mankind their good intentions from evil thoughts. In this way the artwork becomes symbolic for purification and heals the surroundings in which they are displayed in.
