Art is very powerful for moving energy in a beneficial way. Here is a lovely video of some of my Feng Shui inspired art and what they mean.

Becoming aware of what we are telling ourselves daily via the images we surround ourselves with is an important step in taking control of how we feel and what we wish to manifest in our lives. Think of the art on your walls as visual affirmations of what you desire. Are you looking at images that inspire and encourage or are they images of loneliness or despair? Are they images you love or are you just tolerating them?

Take a good look and see what you really feel. Awareness is the first step toward change. There is much we can do to effect wonderful energy shifts in our environment that can support the experiences we truly desire to have.

There Is A Candle In Your Heart

dreaminginthedeepsouth:

There is a candle in your heart,

      ready to be kindled.

There is a void in your soul,

      ready to be filled.

You feel it, don’t you?

You feel the separation

      from the Beloved.

Invite Him to fill you up,

      embrace the fire.

Remind those who tell you otherwise that

      Love

      comes to you of its own accord,

      and the yearning for it

     cannot be learned in any school.

It was a new view of the female sex organ as a source of creativity and power. My thought was, “Of course, even Courbet portrayed it as the origin of it all.” I Made ceramics at the time I saw “The Dinner Party,” and found it hard to take my eyes from those amazing pieces: subtle, brilliant variations in the founding of us all, of woman and earth. - Keith Lehrer; Art, Self and Knowledge
