COMFORTABLE

 

COMFORTABLE

 

 

It's so important to not let the bonding become a restriction, just a foundation to find your own feet, to feel comfortable in your own skin. Follow your inner guidance! Free yourself of any expectations! You are, who you are. Enjoy your life and use your body and life playfully!

SELF-EMPOWERMENT

 

SELF-IMPOWERMENT

 

 

Monika Kretschmar from Inner Voice Village - Community Center for Inner Voice Drawing asked the community to participate with a picture or experience from using the Inner Voice Drawing Technique, where you asked yourself the question: "What does self-empowerment mean to me?" Then close your eyes, and without anticipating the outcome of the drawing, give yourself over to the free flow from your unconscious. Let the wisdom of your higher self take over. Draw like this for about 2 minutes, then open your eyes and continue to finish the drawing with your eyes open.

 

I took on the challenge, and this is what came out of it! A drawing about drawing! Unfolding my creativity gives me right now lots of power, fun, joy, happiness, love ... it makes me bring up old and new feelings that I express through drawing, and then I experience that the drawings influence me back, to have a look of what's going on inside of me right now. So really inspirational!

 

I myself becomes a tool/instrument of inspiration that comes from my spirit. (Head looks like a brush)

INTERCONNECTEDNESS

 

 

INTERCONNECTEDNESS

 

 

Out of love we build a strong sense of self-worth, of belonging, which is the foundation for a very healthy life. Shared love forms the roots of our existence.

 

Love builds some strong bonds between people that will help free us with a proper feeling of belonging and safety.

 

The strenght or fragility of these bonds will determine, how the relationship with yourself and the rest of the world will be. The 1. chakra is called the root chakra or Muladhara - the very foundation of the our being.

 

The bonds form a knowledge of who we are, and where we come from, and how we build our future. And LOVE isn't even taught in school! No wonder, it's such an important subject in our lives!

DISCONNECTEDNESS

 

DISCONNECTEDNESS

 

A closed 1. chakra means difficulties connecting to other people, a  feeling of loneliness, abandonement, a feeling of being let down ... no earth connection, no body connection ...

 

The door is closed to most feelings, while looking for somewhere else to belong, to be part of something else.

 

Lack of worth leads to a feeling of: "I'm nobody", which leads to actions of trying to proof your own worth to the world. How many of us haven't done or are trying to do that? And always come up with the feeling of not-good-enough?

I AM WHO I AM

 

I AM WHO I AM

 

 

1. chakra is about roots of all kinds. 1. thought was a tree standing tall and strong, cause that is who I have become. Red is the color of the 1. chakra.

 

It's part of this big world with its roots buried deep into the womb of mother earth. We are one. With its branches, twigs, and sprigs reaching out to the universe to unite, to grow. Living on this planet through winters, springs, summers, and falls... come wind, rain, sun or snow ...

ONE STEP AT A TIME

 

ONE STEP AT A TIME

 

 

As already announced, I'm doing a new project. How am I gonna do this? A little overwhelming!

 

I'm gonna work my way through the 7 chakras by expressing my feelings and thoughts through drawing.

 

Babysteps, is always the answer. So here is my first picture in this project :-)

WE ARE FAMILY

 

WE ARE FAMILY

 

 

Today I am going to start a new drawing project, which also ment I had to take a step away from the group that has given me so much these last couple of months. Last night I dreamt, that I was in school with those wonderful people, but I had missed a class, where they all had gotten bracelets. And I couldn't get them to tell me, how I could get one, too. A feeling of left out, not belonging ...

 

So I decided to give my inner child the bracelet in a drawing. See how happy she is! High Five!!

STRENGTH & POWER

 

STRENGHT & POWER

 

The cross we have been carrying, can become our wealth or poverty. When we find our path to turn our suffering into growth, we can be grateful for what once made us cry ...

LOVE YOURSELF

 

LOVE YOURSELF

 

I set my inner child free by having fun, enjoying life, beeing creative, laughing out loud, loving it all ... then I'm HAPPY!

LIFE LOVES YOU

 

Life loves YOU!

 

I knew early on that this was the truth, but didn't experience that in my daily life. It took me many years to get to that point, where I could say: Everything is good, and know the meaning of it. Cause sometimes life is hard, and we do fall into a pit and feel miserable. Out of that black place can come some beautiful growth. Life supports us in the steps, we take in life...

NEW BEGINNING

 

NEW BEGINNING

 

 

Opening up to grab what's out there. Feeling naked - with trust in spirit. Nature's my companion on this journey. Grabing the rainbow in order to be colorful. The sun will shine down on this process.

The rainbow could also symbolize the 7 chakras that I'm gonna work with through the upcoming months.

MOVING FORWARD

 

MOVING FORWARD

I already made this in February, and felt a promising future with the road opening up, though it was narrow at the moment. NOW it's time to make that move, and follow my inner path. Nature has been my companion on this journey, giving me so much joy and fun. I believe in myself and will follow my inner guidance ... so now it's time to make much more art!
