ART
For instance, the aura portraits grew out of my desire to understand people in more depth. It started in about 1983...I would think about the person and just start drawing. As I drew, I would get thoughts with images that gave me insight into the person. Six years later, as I learned about the aura and chakras, I realized I had been reading the person's energy field. I started adding the dimension of color, using chakra color correspondences.
At the same time, I was in a ritual study group and I drew a picture for each person and gave it to them along with the insights I had received. They were all fascinated and delighted and encouraged me to continue doing them. We called them psychic portraits at the time. I appreciated the group's positive response and continued tuning in and using the chakra color correspondences to draw psychic portraits for over ten years. I would often use this as an aid in my diagnoses with clients who came for energy healing. I also found that as I became aware of imbalances in the aura, we could draw the desired positive changes on the picture as a catalyst to balance the energy field. I took this to another level. I began drawing my own feelings in abstract form. If something was amiss in my field, just by drawing the feeling, my energy field would balance itself. This was part of my healer training.
By focusing on feelings, and balancing the energy field as they moved out, I discovered a way to move unhealthy emotions from the energy field of my clients. Old wounds (emotional, mental, or physical) that hadn't responded to other treatments were responding. Eventually I learned how to guide someone to release even deeper, soul level wounds with this same technique. All this started with drawing!
When looking at abstract art, instead of asking, "What is it?" ask "How is it?" Think of the way you would ask someone you are just meeting, "How are you?" and wait for a response. Because most abstract art is not about recognizable forms. It is about suggestions of form.
