Inspiration behind Spiritual Artwork

Often collectors will ask me where I get my ideas and inspirations for my Artwork.I have a strong spiritual connection between my heart and art. I am blessed to have a very fluid flow of creative inspiration, and most of the time the ideas for pieces come quite naturally. Colors or themes will pop into my mind throughout the day and night, and I keep several journals where I can jot them down or sketch out an image. Other times they come to me when I am doing personal healing work - when I am journaling or meditating. And at times they come in a very focused way during those moments when I do Automatic Writing. I will quickly grab one of my notebooks and begin writing, and while those messages come fast, the handwriting is fast and often messy. I have to be sure to read it back to myself several times to be sure that I can retain it because the handwriting WILL not be neat.

This week I decided that I would share a bit of that process and the creations that came forth. Here is an Automatic Writing that I had done a few days ago. It came as messages and not simply images or phrases like at some other times.

It reads "Within the colder darker days of winter we look and reach for the Light. Look to the Light Carriers as you lift the veils on circumstances. Call the Light Carriers to assist your view.

You have been viewing some hidden agendas of others who had cast illusions because of their own fears. This may sadden you but hold on to the Light, for they are fueled by fears and their own darkness, not your own.

While you have talked and spoken your Truth - they have not LISTENED - instead they have clouded your truth with their defensiveness.

Listening is a Gift - it is paramount in communication. The quest is to be Heard. You have already learned how to speak your truth, but know now that in doing so, you must accept that they will not always Hear you - by choice. Embrace the Light Carriers, who will lift the veil. "

My first immediate image and symbolism that came was from the Dragonfly - who embodies the Light - who can bend the Light to the needs - and who helps to shine Illusions. I created two pieces that focused on the Dragonfly totem.

Dragonfly Gourd Rattle https://jeannefryart.indiemade.com/product/dragonfly-totem-ooak-gourd-rattle-spiritual-tool

I later began working on some smaller pieces with images related to the Throat Chakra and its colors for Balance - reflective of Communication - in Speaking and Listening. When I finish these I will come back and share those as well.

Romancing the Butterfly and its Symbolic Meaning

The Butterfly has such a beautiful significance in life, a delicate and ornate creature who just by their floating into our presence can instantly light smiles on the faces who see her. They are symbolic for the Perception of the Evolving Soul. The way in which they flutter through the air and land on one flower... to the next flower, looks as if they are doing a dance of happiness. Almost as if they are giving out kisses to each one. Even in difficult or harsh circumstances they still float in the same manner, insistent on living in the moment and living in joy. The Butterfly represents how you choose to perceive your growth, whether you perceive the transformations as a difficult period or whether you perceive them as a grand adventure appreciative of each moment. Transformation, change, and growth are inevitable, but how we choose to walk through them affects how easy or difficult they can be. The Butterfly is a special totem to look to when you are going through a t...

New Year Quest to Organize and Simplify

I'm spending the remainder of the year trying to make life easier, simplify, organize, with the eternal quest to find more time in my day. So many hours are spent now on social media that I strive to find the balance between creating and connecting. The past few months my blogs have suffered from this, my writing being sporadic. I'm committing to get back to my consistency with the blogging, as it has always been one of my first loves....and especially the time reading my favorite blogs. I found Bloglovin where I can keep track of my favorite reads nicely, in one simple clean format. I hope this helps on my quest. Back to organizing :) Peace and Love http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/13296731/?claim=mn4sk8qx4fb
