COLOUR HEALING & CREATIVE SELF-ALIGNMENT

WITH SELF-ILLUMINATING-ART

USING YOUR PURCHASED ARTWORK FOR ENERGY ENHANCEMENT

 

Let your attention guide you to the colour or colours that you are attracted to on the artwork. From there, begin to just notice your feelings, body’s sensation and mental dialogues, and slowly noticing the colours and details around it expanding it from the first colour you are attracted with, and expand to the other ones, so you begin to notice a ‘relationship’ between two or more colours. Then begin to notice the details, forms or things inside the images and discover their meaning to you letting yourself be creative! (*Noting also the colours you dislike in this moment, refer to colour chart for possible meanings.)  Look at also the details of the image of the artwork, see if something becomes suddenly meaningful or symbolic to you. Your inner mind and the subconscious will naturally want to create a ‘story’ that is meaningful to you and at the same time being positive (e.g. that little piece of blue rock gives me a sense of hope!), because a deep part of your inner mind has a self-healing intelligence of self-organisation and engages your inner creativity. This inner process can on a daily basis help you discover yourself, your feelings, your creativity and what is meaningful to you.
