Day 10 & 11 of Meditation art series

Day 10- My vision during the meditation was one of being craddled in the energy and nurance of the universe. There was a great sense of reassurance and gentle nudging to let go. Letting go of worry, need for control which then allows for more trust in the process of life unfolding. Isn't that the joy of being alive? The not knowing?

When I sat down to make the art work, I started with the energy, it looked like waves or clouds in layers, coming to a point in the middle. I added the figure laying or being supported in the middle to represent the mesage of letting go, releasing the control and just allowing things to happen, and unfold. The image felt very peaceful to me, much like how I felt during the meditation.

Day 11- I felt connected to the universe and the energy flowing through me, at first I saw what looked like pedtals of a flower, overlapping each other, like a blooming lotus but bigger. These pedals faded into the background and I saw very clearly an hour glass filled with sand. The majority of the sand was still on the top, slowly sifting down to the lower half, the passage of time. It registered to me as my life, the years that had already passed and the "unspent" or

years I still had left.

The message seemed to be one of encouragement to live my life to its FULLEST potential and not to waste one more second on anything that does not give me joy and fullfillment. Then very clearly the words " I am deserving," came to me, that I do deserve to have all that I have ever dream of, and of expanding and becoming all that I am capable of being! Getting in touch with my belief in myself as an ever expanding human being.

Day 9- "Peeling back the layers"

Day 9 of Meditation Art series, despite the fact that it is Sunday I had work this morning, ( a Reiki appointment with a client) I offer private in-home sessions, so I met the client at her home in West Philly, which meant I had to get up , shower, to get out there by 11am, was not that early but still didnt give myself enough time this morning to do the mediation so I waited until the later afternoon to do it. Sometimes I find that the time of day that I do it makes a difference in how it goes, can't say that one is better then the other-- they just are different results.

I sat for the normal 15 mins, but it felt ALOT longer, I had multiple layers of things that happened,, the first thing that I saw during the meditation was this rolling back of what looked like layers of earth or skin, thick and peeling back to reveal the soft underneath. I can only assume that the underneath is my unconscious, and that my peeling away of the "noise" and clutter of the mind and activities of the day would only enhance my experience. I made the artwork about this imagery- after completing it I saw that it also reminded me of a storm cloud and an open field or plain. There is always a clearing after the storm, and without the rain, the land would become dried up and un-usuable.

Following the peeling away imagery, I felt so thankful and excited about my life, what was awaiting me in the near future whatever that may be. I imagined wrapping myself in a spiral of energy, like a blanket or sash it wrapped around my entire body starting at the top of my head around me as I sat in lotus position. It was a yellowish-orange and it engulfed me in its light. A reiki symbol came to mind, the healing Buddha/Master symbol-- I felt very safe and secure. I readied myself for amazing wonderful things to come my way, I believe we create our own realities and allow or disallow the universe to give us what we most desire, love, happiness, abundance.
