Can you find all the eggs? It was Easter of 2022, when in meditation I received the message. It was time to begin a series of light-art featuring chakras (energy centers within the human body). We are energy bodies more than we are physical bodies. The physical without energy is a body in permanent vegetative state. An energy body continues to exist regardless of a physical body. In the physical reality, we begin as fertilized eggs, but at a certain point, those eggs are brought to consciousness through an energy that science has yet to name, but we know as spirit, creator, God, higher power and other names. Life energy enters the medulla oblongata at the top of the spine and lower cranium. It travels down the spine energizing our nervous system and settles at the bottom of the sacrum or root chakra.
Who is Hanuman? Short description for light readers: A spiritually evolved being that reflects Gods strength and devotion for yogic breathing and meditation. More for those liking to be “In the know”... What is a Deity? Deities, like the characters in parables, teach a spiritual lesson. Found in Ancient Sacred Hindu Texts, the Deities are all “God “wearing different faces, names, and personalities. “God” is such a big and all-consuming concept. How is one supposed to wrap one’s mind on any one part? God is made more personal and relatable as these Deities fill poems, music, chants and texts with their epic adventures and antics. Endless plots and twists, explain creation, good and evil, evolution through yoga and more. Because we are made in the image of God, we share the same aspects to deities. In getting to know them we learn about the power we hold within. Then, instead of praying to God for help, we are able to help ourselves by invoking an aspect of God in form of Deity. Healing, courage, abundance, and wisdom are superpower attributes waiting to be called upon. Hanuman is one of the main characters in the Ramayana – one of 2 most important ancient Sanskrit texts. Rama, in the role of God, journeys through his creation. Hanuman, is the son of the wind God in the form of half-monkey, half-man. Sanskrit for Hanuman means broken jaw. Hanuman is one who literally transformed his body and mind to unite with God. Transforming mind and body through concentrated efforts, devotion, and a moral compass transforms spirit. The opposite of Hanuman is monkey mind. Monkey mind is often referenced in Hindu as an undisciplined, animalistic, and busy mind. Yoga provides a guide for living to overcome these challenges through meditation resulting in ever expanding, ever conscious bliss. Every aspect of yoga requires the strength, breath, devotion, and courage of Hanuman. As a young child my father endearingly nicknamed me monkey face. Unbeknownst to him, he nicknamed me with the symbol of an undisciplined mind. What a great starting point to begin my own epic saga about a spiritual journey from Money Face to Hanuman.
"Spiritual Branches"- 1 The Magician
The " Journey Begins Tapestry and 0 - Seeker Card" is the egg 🥚 stage. If this is you, you are filled with new life, ready to be born. You are ready to break out of the shell of past and be a new version of yourself. It is that time of night just before dawn in the most still hours. All is still and ready in anticipation and great hope for what is to come. You can feel the impending life change. Not sure yet? See if the following reflects you... You are ready to make the aware choice to begin your spiritual journey. You have always been on the path, but now the goals you have previously sought are unsatisfying. You have exhausted all variations of the physical world to find happiness and peace and have narrowed it down to what does NOT bring this. You have a growing awareness of what brings disruptive emotions and are interested in learning how to maintain peace and have more. You seek meaning in life and giving to friends, family, community and world. You begin to ask, "Is there more to life?", "Why am I here?", "Am I more than a body that sleeps, eats, and reproduces?". "If I am more, what animates me and makes me unique?", "If matter is never destroyed upon death, but merely transforms...what does it transform into?" There are many ways to explore what is beyond our physical senses and this is often called a "spiritual" path. But in fact, these abilities are results of our spiritual development, not the cause of it. This series is about the "Cause" of all. All life and death- all abilities, all that is seen and unseen - all time and space and no time and space. This series is about investigating this idea of a creator, God, Goddess, or Universal Consciousness... Start with the world in the MACRO as cosmos holding multiple universes. A universe that holds galaxies, a galaxy holding a planetary system around a star - then earth, country, community, family, then, finally-self. In the micro world, inside the "self", we are made of cells, atoms, DNA...The macro world is composed of the micro, essentially making both the micro and the macro the same elements. You may have heard we are made of star dust, and at a micro level - we really are. All atoms have the DNA information to hold the form of whatever matter they appear as. When the form is ready to disperse, the atoms disassemble but the EXPERIENTIAL information remains. In a sense, cosmos is one organism in varying forms experiencing "self" in many ways. There is a story... A group of blind people were led to a portion of an elephant and asked to describe it based on the one area they had access to. No one person was able to describe the elephant as a whole. When they changed places, they began to understand the whole of what "elephant" meant physically, emotionally and mentally. For some, it took more time because their minds would wander thinking of things to do or troubles they had. Those who stayed focused on the task, understood "elephant" quickest. You are the one investigating the macro or creator or "the elephant" and also the reverse at the same time...the creator investigating itself through you at a micro level. It's all the same - just from different perspectives and states of awareness. That is the spiritual path...becoming aware of the whole of creation and our place in creation in the macro and the micro. In the Hindu Deity Pantheon, Ganesh is the elephant Deity stomping out distractions or obstacles keeping us from evolving. Deities represent an aspect of "God or Goddess", "The Cause of it All", "The Creator", "Highest Intelligence" or whatever name you would like to call "it". Or in other words, if you had your hand on one part of the elephant at a time, trying to identify the whole, each of the deities is one place your hand. The whole is simply too vast to explain in any one language, one name, or one description. Lifetimes are needed to consciously explore the whole or "Cause" of it all. Because the task is daunting, a GPS and help from those on the path, are helpful for your journey. A spiritual GPS works like this: Every day... have a plan for your spiritual to-do list. At the end of the day... introspect about how you did. Why? What will you do to improve? My art can help as well. Each work of art in this series has multiple areas to meditate on to get the whole of it, just like the elephant. As your consciousness expands, new parts in the art will reveal themselves to you in meaningful ways. Each artwork is accompanied by introspective questions to serve as a GPS for your journey. I encourage you to: 1. Meditate or pray 2. Look at an artwork 3. Read the introspection questions 4. Journal Introspect: Identify where you are in your journey. Where would you like to go or do next? What skills supplies or knowledge will you need? Learn to meditate or pray and ask for the Cause of it all to provide using these affirmations: I am provided with what I need today to fulfill my highest purpose. I know what I need to know, when I need to know it. People, signs or lessons come to me today for my highest purpose.

With Easter approaching it's time for family get togethers. With vaccines more prevalent, families may gather more "in-person".
Every day is a new spring day to start fresh thinking. Clear out the clutter and start fresh!

Almost everyone has some experience with Cancer. Feel free to pass this newsletter on to those that may benefit from its information. I often hear how frustrating and trite it sounds when a chronically ill person receives the advice to “think positively”. This advice is often more difficult to follow than those words verbally suggest. Imagine any daily turmoil of a “normal” variety and how difficult it is to stay cool, calm and collected... It takes a special person indeed who in the face of life threatening circumstances can retain a state of mind opposite of the natural flight or fight response. Certified Medical Hypnotherapy works as a support to maintain mental state of mind during illness. Use it to maintain parasympathetic rest mode, controlling fears & severity of symptoms. Look at the chart below to learn how the body benefits by remaining in a parasympathetic mode during healing:
Love is the highest vibrational feeling. Most sought, is romantic love. But seeking to receive love is the last step of creating healthy happy love in your life. Doing the seeking before the other 2 steps often brings disappointment in the quality or amount of love in your life. We desire an enduring powerful non selfish all accepting love. And what we receive is far short of that. So let’s start at the beginning… Step 1…Loving yourself first... The Law of Love Correspondence: The quality & quantity of the love you receive corresponds to the quality & quantity of love in your subconscious thoughts & feelings about yourself. I often hear people saying about a past relationship, 'I gave every bit I had until I was empty.' That is true, because your own self-love was limited, you drew to yourself someone else with low self love. In trying to fill them up, you emptied yourself. When 2 people full of self-love, respect and esteem connect, love never runs empty. The poem below is often read in terms of a relationship. But read it anew applying it to yourself...
