I am the sun

I am the moon

I am heaven and earth

High and low----

I bring my light onto the earth to share with others--

The inspiration for this painting came from a hike in a desolate desert mountain range. When the artist got to the top of the mountain, Spirit came through and told the artist to look to her left on the ground for a gift. Despite her lack of trust, she looked and discovered a small circle of rocks. Spirit said that the symbol of the circle means wholeness. She then proceeded to interpret the message literally that she should paint on round canvasses. After researching, she decided that painting on round canvasses wasn't practical. A bit annoyed with the seemingly false message from Spirit, she dismissed the message.

A few days later the artist took a walk into a canyon and noticed how the vegetation was growing beside the rushing river. When she returned to her studio, she poured much stored anger onto the canvas and something beautiful started to emerge from the emotion...a circular pond with beautiful flowers and a big wall of rocks in front of the pool. The paintbrush then broke through the rock wall and opened the passage that moved into the circular pond, leading toward wholeness. The next day, the artist traveled to a remote rocky canyon near Mexico. As she walked through this mysterious place, she felt as if she was in the center of a healing circle of rocks that looked like people. No matter which way she turned, they were all staring at her and sending her positive energy.

Then she saw the narrow passageway that she had created. There it was...right in front of her! She walked through the rock passage and at the end was a tall rock spire pointing upward, as if to say "Reach up for higher dimensions."

The artist became disinterested; after all, she's been to this canyon many times before. Nothing new, seen it all, done it. She thought to herself that she was done with this canyon and didn't need to return. The next day she continued painting the circular pond. All of a sudden, she felt the energy of the circle of rock people (spirits) and she proceeded to place them in the painting. Note the circle of rock people. The faces in the rocks carry ancient wisdom and contain the energy from the ancient people. The Native Americans would call in their ancestors through certain rocks. These rocks are record keepers.

As the artist experienced sadness, anger, depression and pain, she felt as if she was getting sucked into a whirlpool of negative emotions. Note the whirlpool in the center of the pond. She then painted a little girl hiding among the rocks. The artist felt the fear of the small child. The artist then asked Spirit to protect this little girl and assist her to share her light. The little girl then gave up her fearful position and was taken out of the painting. Some of the spirits that came through afterward were then sacrificed and removed for the message of the whole.

As the artist felt herself being in this whirlpool pond, she felt the healing energy of the circle of rocks encouraging her to come out. The artist responded by saying "Leave me alone. I want to stay stuck. It's familiar and I want to be safe." The rock spirits saw they weren't getting anywhere with the artist and felt that they needed further assistance. So they called on the Fairy Ring. A ring of fairies came flying in and were painted in to assist the rock people to send even more positive energy to the despairing artist. The fairies had a message, "We are here in mass numbers at this time to assist all of you beings on the earth plane who are experiencing great challenges." The artist then responded to the fairies and asked for the gates to be opened.

She wanted to pass through and lift herself up. Note the passageway and clearing on top of the whirlpool. Also note the Indian spirit to the left of the passageway. As she asked for clearing, an etheric dragonfly being emerged out of the whirlpool. The artist felt as if she was released from her negative emotions. Then Spirit said that it is through the expression of these emotions that she could release them. Spirit told the artist this is a practical application in how to use the creative process to call in spirit beings and guides to assist our healing process.

The final journey was to visit a very remote portal (window) of rock. A massive opening up to the sky. The artist walked many miles to reach this isolated rock formation. A sense of peace and completion overcame the artist as she felt the heavenly presence of light near this portal. After this journey, the artist called upon nurturing loving energies to lift herself into lighter energy. The sun and angelic beings in the sky came into focus. The painting had brought the fairies and angels together. This painting demonstrates how to embrace the earthy emotions and then how to bring in the heavenly healing energies for upliftment of the soul, to integrate Heaven and Earth; to see them without separation, and to bring ourselves to new lighter frequencies while on the earth plane. We can get pulled into light or dark. The choice is ours...It takes discipline not to fall into negativity. Always choose light and positively, we have the ultimate choice as to how we perceive our circumstances.
