That it can be meditation, energy work, and a personal journey at the same time?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">It can be a moving meditation for the people who can&#8217;t sit still, as you enter the flow of creating! You will reap the relaxation benefits! Let go of stress. You may also gain insight and clarity of thought.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">It can be energy work by imbuing your canvas or journal with the intention and vibration that you wish to focus on to uplift your life! Your finished work becomes a kind of &#8220;vision board,&#8221; radiating and reminding you of your positive intentions. And just thinking of all those positive thoughts while you paint raises your own vibration, creating more optimism and sense of your own power! Heaven knows we need to keep our vibe high these days!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">It can also be a revealing journey, as the blank canvas, and the &#8220;messy-in-the-middle&#8221; canvas-in-process, helps shine a light on where you sometimes find yourself stuck. I will help guide you through all of it in a way that is gentle, relaxing, and affirming.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This n<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>ew monthly series is called &#8220;Into the HeART of You.&#8221;<\/strong> Each month you will discover a different theme, with appropriate guided meditations or readings and painting prompts.
