The Power of Art

I believe that art has the power to heal because when we are immersed in it - with all our passion - our hearts open wide and we access our innate creation ability. We access our genius and this gives us tremendous joy and fulfilment. A sense of accomplishment and worth. We are nourished by the energy that we pour out of ourselves as well as the energy that fills us up. It is a win win situation that results in our own healing as well as the healing of others, purely by viewing the art.

I have been lucky because I have had the opportunity to share with many young people the journey of healing through art. Such a simple process of expressing yourself with colour - beyond the mind and form. Formless art. Inspiration. A journey that - without pressure - with complete freedom, allows forms to arrive
on their own. A process that gives the mind a complete rest.

Spontaneous free expression captivates a students imagination effortlessly, with healing being a natural and steady bi-product of the enjoyment.

Here are some stunning creations by one of my students who came to me because she had zero confidence. She is at one of the special schools on the Island, but this was not an issue for her.

Somehow something had triggered a complete inability to communicate without jittering nervously She cowered and kept her eyes down, blocking everyone out because she found interaction too difficult and stressful.

Creativity is an amazing process because the act of it causes us to open up. Conversation starts to flow and so healing is on many levels.

What I realised happens to many people is what I observed in myself. As a young child this happened to me. I was fully aware of the dynamic and studied it.

When we are sensitive we pick up on the thoughts of others and fall into behaving exactly as they perceive us. It is not intentional, enjoyable or desired and is very hard to break free from and snap out of. It becomes an ingrained habit.

It feels like you are somehow hooked into a dynamic that over powers you - that is more powerful, and it took me years of fighting it to realise how to escape. Now I teach others the techniques that I learned.

A sensitive person has their own personality that they are aware of as well as all the other personalities of everyone else that they interact with or that are within their vicinity. They read and process all of this information simultaneously and it can be very draining and exhausting.

No help is sought or believed to be required because it is assumed that we are all the same - swamped with a heavy mat of feeling information that is drowning us with its weight.

Finally there is now more information 'out there' that is showing how All Is Energy, and All can be Felt. All is Tangible. PHEW!

So this mirroring of others that think that we are stupid, weak, feeble, incapable or LESS somehow is something that overrides our natural self because we are swamped by it and have a difficulty in detangling all the incoming feelings to sort out what is our own. And there just ISN'T Time. Life is too hurried and rushed and we receive no help, and we can't work out what is wrong with us.

Art gives us breathing space. Time to be intrinsically ourselves. As sensitive people we can learn to hear and know ourselves louder than all the other surrounding melee.

We do not have to humour others because their
thoughts of us are demeaning - however shouty they are.

With this particular student, regular discussions of energy dynamics were crucial to her healing, as well as conversation and an environment where every drop of energy was positive and encouraging.

Even momentary dips in my energy would bring a question...
'Do you like me?'
 or - 'I'm sorry.' as if she was responsible for my energy as she was being affected by it.

It took me right back to when I was a child. She helped me remember and to heal these
deepest darkest corners of myself and to bring them into the light.

After two years this student is now the chattiest, cheekiest member of the class and radiates joy, compassion and love.

Awakening and ART

Awakening to new 5th dimensional energies occurs when there is a shift in perception.

A raise in consciousness from lower energies that bind us to a lower vibration or samsara.

Awakening means that we completely remember who we are as a spiritual being.
For a while as you are breaking free from the OLD WAY, you will find yourself perpetually forgetting and in that state you will be completely oblivious to another level, or world of experience.

But it's okay, it isn't a race!

The problem is in the initial remembering, with your mind battling a new perception and saying


'This isn't real, this is delusional.'

The laugh comes when you finally break free, and you make out that you always new it anyway....which of course you did, before your memory was erased as you came up the birth canal.

Art is an amazing way to awaken.

Because this state is who we fully are, it can be reached when we completely let go of all 3d control. Put another way - when we conquer our ego, which is by no means easy.
One large problem is distinguishing your id / spirit from your ego. One right brain, one left.
Basically the chatty, noisy, know-it-all, bossy one, is the ego, and the very quiet one that always gets over ruled is the id.
I found that I was sent many lessons adhering to this, until I could ignore it no more. Lessons would follow the same pattern, where I heard something so quietly - almost inaudibly, then my loud voice trumpeted in and I went straight with it's view point.
Basically the lessons were set up that something always went horribly wrong so that I could replay the scenario in my head and remember the quiet voice.
By acknowledging my right brain in this way, the voice slowly became louder.

Luckily age also helps. Each spiritual year is 7 years. We are born very clear and aware and many of us have childhood friends or can see or sense spirit, but the world soon deadens us.
Through puberty the veil is at it's thickest because it is important that mankind populate the earth, but after this the veil becomes progressively thinner so it is far easier to hear.

It is also easier if you have less testosterone for you to hear, which is why women generally have a clearer link.


When you are in a blissed state, as in meditation, or when you lose yourself in art, your vibration raises, and you are able to be fully yourself, as you reach your higher self....the full self, your genius.

I always feel that the 3d energy - heavy, upset, angry, fearful, busy-minded, controlling, dominating is like only having half your head, and awareness.

Breaking free comes when you finally vow to yourself that you will never forget who you really are.  You have a team talk with yourself or put post it notes around your house reminding you to never forget. Unfortunately despite this you still forget frequently until you remember better, and so well in fact that you break free. For me the impetus was getting sick of repeating the same tiresome lessons.

The incredible thing that then transpires is that you realize that you have spent your whole life thus far, living only half a life, an illusion - with things totally upside down. You get cross with yourself for having gripped on to your stupidity for what seems like eons - and is in fact many, many life times.

You start to remember other lifetimes, the pre- life state. You start to communicate with spirit, your guides, friends and family the other side of the veil and to work with angels.

You shift your consciousness because you understand microcosm and macrocosm. You understand that universal consciousness is within us all, and we can access it by going within -
Through meditation, art or music.
In the quiet times or when we remove our minds from our heads.
Then in our right mind, day dreamy state we can finally HEAR and finally KNOW who we are and why we came here.

Because we remember, we awaken.

About 10% of the worlds population is currently awakening. That is such a good thing, as we need to pave the way for the Indigo, Crystal and Rainbow children who are far more evolved than us, and are somewhat exasperated at the state of the world.

Their clarity is mind blowing. Spirit communication is so obvious for them they assume that we are ALL doing it.
