Guy’s Soul Energy Portrait & Prayer

/in

Guy Mommaerts has been a godsend in my life since 2011, when he started his journey as a Dominique Hurley art collector.

I’m so grateful for all the art patrons that have made it possible for me to follow my Divine Path – and Guy is right up there!

We met in 2011, after he and his wife joined a Sacred Earth shaman workshop in Gros Morne National Park.

It was my first year living on the island of Newfoundland and my enthusiasm for the love & beauty present during this retreat translated itself through my camera – as did his.

Guy bought his first painting that year, a few more since then, including the first Soul Energy Portrait commission I ever channeled as part of my crowdfunding campaign to study at the Vienna Academy of Visionary Art in 2013.

That first foray into channeled energy portraits was a simplified version of the package I offer today – just the painting and a few notes about working with his Team of Divine Helpers during the span of a weekend.

With the years, I’ve been guided to offer a much deeper experience that Guy was ready to invest in for himself this July.

My Soul Energy Portrait Experiences now start with a channeled guided meditation recording that we both listen to during the weeks that the painting evolves. Layer by layer, and with every message from his angels & guides, the painting and Guy emerged more fully into what they were meant to be.

It’s an intensive process that also involves daily Love Notes, pictures, energy work, quantum prayer, and the design of an accompanying book that summarizes each step of the journey.

Guy is happy for me to share with you what he wrote to me a couple of weeks after living with his painting. The prayer I composed for him follows, along with a slideshow of his evolving painting.

May something here inspire you.

What Guy Has to Say:

“This portrait of my Soul has been an incredible experience! And…it’s not over yet.

 I found it very interesting to follow the progression of this art work (it is art for sure!) but I did not expect that the real KABOOM! would come the day I opened the mailing crate and was faced with the real thing!!!

I could not believe the energy that hit me right in the forehead (3rd eye?) Not only that, ever since, this happens every time I look at it! This is SO powerful and so UNIQUE!  I do not understand much of what is going on with this (I am not a Light-worker – as such!), but I feel so good every time I look at it!.
 
It’s probably the best money I ever spent in my life after the engagement ring for my wife Chiyo (now for 45 years!).

I don’t know if you’re aware of the depth and impact of your work. But that’s not important! The results are way beyond my expectations!

I liked you when we first met in NL on our shaman retreat.  At that time, we were both in love with our NIKON cameras. It is fascinating how life evolves and even though we have not met since, I now can truly tell you: I LOVE YOU!

I have to stop here! It will save me crying – of Joy that is!”

~ Guy Joseph Mommaerts – Ontario

An Elemental Prayer

I wrote this prayer to amplify the energy & messages received during Guy’s Soul Energy Portrait Experience. May it serve you too.

 

Dear God & Guiding Spirits of the Highest Vibration,

Angels of Light & Love,
Guide me on my Path to my Highest Good.

As I stand at the door of this new day,
I welcome the beckoning calls of my heart & soul.
I’m ready. I can. I am!

May I reconnect to my Self & All that Is
In the re-membering that I’m a Drop of Divine Essence,
Manifested as an individualized expression of Source.

May I lighten up with sparkling laughter & loving smiles
As I recall that I’m a spiritual Being
Having a human experience for the fun of it.
May I be kind and gentle with myself and others
As I embrace the gifts of my lessons & challenges.

May I breathe deeply of the pulsating Light within & all around me.
Welcoming the Life Force that opens my intuitive channels
to discover the Guidance always available to me.

May every step in Nature be an invitation, an opening,
A communication with a Greater Truth
Helping me let go of the illusion I tend to lose myself in.

Thank you Earth, Air, Fire & Water
For infusing my intellect and grounding me in my blessed squareness
Thank you Ether for being my Lightline to Spirit.
You nourish my transformational journey.

May the spokes of guiding light
That join me to my Team of Divine Helpers
Give this wheel of Life greater momentum
As I evolve with ease & grace more fully into my Self.

May my previous and future incarnations impart their wisdom unto me
That I may live more in alignment with my True Self here and now.

And as I consciously bless my existence through Gratitude & Self-Love,
May I open myself to holy relationships
Help me know the Truth that makes me Free.
Help me see myself and others through the eyes of my soul.
Help me recognize that the Divine within me is the source of unconditional love
and that those around me are mirrors, reflections, other drops of Light from Divine Oneness.

I am love. I am loved. I am loving, and I love it.

So be it. So I let it be. Aho. Amen.

 

The Layers of Creation

A Soul Energy Portrait Experience is far more than just the creation of a painting in your essence. Each layer is filled with meaning, messages, energy work, and symbolism that is communicated to you daily.

If you commission one for yourself (or a loved one), it’s sure to be a transformational experience.

I only work with one client per month and it takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the chosen size of canvas.  To learn more, go to my Soul Energy Portrait information page here.

Soul Mate Series: Re-United

/in
sun and moon soul mate painting

“Re-United” (12″ x 18″) –Original  $1247 Cdn, prints available here.

Re-United: The Painting

I wasn’t even finished “Twin Flames” when I received the vision for “Re-United”, the third and final piece in the Soul Mate Series.

In this coming together of the sacred feminine & masculine, the woman is and emerges from the energy of the moon and man is and emerges from the energy of the sun.

They’re now face to face in an earthly field of white & gold mica, oozing with the energy of love & compassion.

Behind this space in which soul mates have been re-united, you find the centre of a Vesica Pisces – the overlapping of two circles that expand beyond what the eyes can see and what the canvas can hold. These two larger circles represent the soul mates’ everlasting lifetimes beyond this incarnation.

It’s within the core of this sacred geometry that grows the tree of life. Its roots are seeded with sparkly treasures – the agreements and experiences from previous lifetimes and the in-between. Its branches grow the sparkly fruits of this lifetime and the spirally unfolding of mutual growth on the learning journey to unconditional love.

The astral glow in “Re-United” recognizes that although we may stand whole in our own light, this light is mirrored and magnified as we come face to face with our soul mate.

Soul Mates

Soul mates aren’t always lovers. They come in many forms – friends, family, etc.  Some are re-united for a moment, a day, a chapter, or until death parts their human incarnations. However long their journey together, it has a purpose rooted in a deep love – an opportunity for growth.

Some soul mates, of course, come together in sacred romantic relationship to fulfill their role as supporters of each others’ soul growth.

This painting celebrates the sacredness of such soul mate relationships – whether romantic or not.

I’ll admit, however, that this series came into being through me after I received visions of my ideal life in which I’ve been re-united in a soul mate relationship. I’ve been blessed with two soul mate relationships in the past. But these were years ago. I may be happy single, but as the expression goes, two “haves” make a whole.

So it was time for my art to reflect this new reality coming into materialization. After all, where attention goes, energy flows. So be it, so I let it be.

Soul Mate Series: Twin Flames

/in

Soul Mate Series with sun and moon in double vesica pisces

“Twin Flames” celebrates the coming together of two ‘haves’ into a greater whole for the Highest Good of both individuals but also the Greater Good of the planet.

There’s lots of confusion about the definition of “twin flames”. It’s not about being incomplete without the other half of your soul. I like the definition on the Twin Flame Connection website:

“A twin flame relationship is a divine union with a divine purpose. … The twin flame relationship is the deepest romantic connection on the planet but this is not the sole purpose of a twin flame relationship, contrary to popular belief. The twin flame connection is about bringing something positive to the world by working together through your divine union.”

The sun and the moon in this painting have continued their journey and united to form a vertical Vesica Pisces, sacred geometry of two becoming one in Divine Oneness.

This vertical Vesica Pisces represents the connection between Heaven & Earth – our souls with our Higher Selves,  Source, and sacred purpose.

If you look closely, there’s a horizontal Vesica Pisces in the space where the larger one  joins. This second Vesica Pisces representing the sacred human relationship – the connection here on the earth plane.

In the centre of that one, embedded in mica (energy of love & compassion) is a mirror.  For the eye is the mirror of the soul and relationship a mirror for the way we see life and each other. It helps magnify and shine the light within us and back out into the world.

The faces in “Twin Flames” are slightly closer together than those in “Betwixt Day & Night”. Their inner fire has fuelled them forward and towards each other to fulfill that sacred purpose.

And the power of this re-union is sending strong ripple effects of Light into the world.

I started working on this painting just as Steve Nobel of the Soul Matrix posted this video on YouTube. When I’m not listening to one of the meditations I channel, I’m usually listening to one of his.

This video became part of my practice during the creation of my Soul Mate Series and may appeal to you too.

Soul Mate Series: Betwixt Day & Night

/in

“Betwixt Day & Night” – 12″ x 18″ – $1,247 Cdn, Prints available here…

“Betwixt Day & Night” honours the immortality of the Divine Love between soul mates and twin flames as well as the soul’s journey back to its rightful place.

It emerged from following my bliss into inspired action.

After having so much fun painting the sun in “From the Beginning“, I wanted to create a piece that featured both the sun and moon.

In true intuitive painting style, I started by painting these two celestial orbs, not knowing what would come next. Instead, I spent time contemplating its evolution, asking what wanted to emerge.

It was while swimming laps in a local pool under a summer sky that the vision of the two faces appeared in my mind’s eye, perfectly shaped to fit the grooves on each side of the canvas.

The more I painted, the more the energies flowed and the more the painting spoke to me.

That’s when I knew this was the birthing of a new series – the Soul Mate Series – 3 paintings I’ll write more about in the following weeks.

This is the first.

Betwixt Day & Night: The Painting

I’m so excited to share “Betwixt Day & Night With You”.  The name was given to me before I knew where this painting was going.

There’s so much soul mate energy & symbolism here.

The moon rays in white mica and sun rays in gold mica form a diamond shape in the middle that’s much more visible in direct light. Metaphysically speaking, the mineral mica supports the energy of love and compassion, essential for the success of any relationship.

According to the SunSigns website,

“The diamond shape is associated with valuable attributes that are relevant to living a meaningful life – such as purity, clarity and wisdom. It enables us to see our purpose in a new light….The Native Americans considered diamonds to be signatures of the butterfly, which Indian cultures identify as a sign of immortality. Native American ideology viewed this as very powerful and symbolic. Specifically, the butterfly’s journey back to their homes was interpreted symbolically as the soul’s journey to its rightful place.”

These rays also form the points of 2 pyramids or triangles facing opposite directions, extensions of the energetic light space of the man and woman. These light spaces, moon blue for the woman and sun orange for the man, are like arrows moving them towards each other.

This momentum comes from a space beyond day & night, beyond time, beyond space. It’s a soul calling, a soul contract, an agreement made while still in Spirit form that is moving this couple back together again.

Their faces, covered in glass beads that are only perceptible from some angles, are of the same ilk as the Universe behind them. It’s as if they were a materialization of All That Is – individualized expressions of the Divine.

The amethyst that rests in the space betwixt day & night is the intuitive eye that helps them recognize and trust each other. It’s a protective stone associated with the crown chakra that is here to facilitate open communication, bonding, and the purification of the mind. It’s also here to assist with the evolution of unconditional love between a couple on a daily and nightly basis.

It’s only after I finished the painting that I spotted the shape of the hourglass – symbolic of balance in alchemy, Heaven & Earth, cycles, and inevitability,

Betwixt Day & Night is not only a celebration of soul mate reunion & love but also a celebration of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine as they come together in the hourglass of enlightenment and ultimate truth.

The Soul Mate Series

As soon as I was finished this painting at the end of July, I knew I wasn’t truly finished.

In the following month, the moon & sun danced together some more in the Soul Mate Series – 3 paintings in total.

Follow Your Bliss – the painting

/in

Can you feel the happy energy vibration emanating from this piece? It makes me smile each time I see it.

“Follow Your Bliss” is about the joy that courses through your veins and the rich fruits that bubble up and grow from your experiences as you emerge more fully into your True Self. 

As you follow your bliss, you’ll uncover a wealth of opportunities and riches.

I say “uncover” instead of “discover” because this is a wealth that was always within you and generated by you.

This is the basis of the Law of Attraction.

As you add more and more of what you love doing, being, feeling in your days, the more you’ll attract matching vibes in the people, places, things, and experiences around you.

So for your sake and that of the whole planet, follow your bliss! I have no doubt that as you do, your contributions of energy, inspiration, and fruit of all kinds will bless everyone in your environment.

May the energy of this painting remind you to reflect on what helps you generate that feeling of bliss in your life and to add more of that into your schedule. Your wellness depends on it!

And if it makes you giggle with joy as it does me, bonus!

Creative Multitasking & The Freedom Effect

/in
The Freedom Effect dragonfly painting

“The Freedom Effect” (11″ x 14″) – SOLD – Acrylics, lapis lazuli, glass beads, mica on canvas

Warning… this blog post may ruin your idealized image of me. Hee hee…

I recently shared this with a few people who were so grateful I did that I’ve decided to share it with you now.

Whether it inspires you to get creative or leads to being more gentle on yourself, good!

I smile when folks talk about what it must be like in my painting studio: “You must have incredible focus and patience Dominique.” Sometimes…

It’s true that there are projects in which I’m totally in the creative flow, channeling visions, messages, and energy healing while painting – especially Soul Energy Portraits.

But that’s not always the case.

That would be awfully intense to keep up during my beloved 12 to 16-hour painting marathons.

So sometimes I sing along to Sanskrit chants in meditative bliss.

Other times, I’m simply playing and experimenting while listening to inspirational podcasts.  

Then there are the times I’m painting to escape – from my overly Left-brain to-do list or my overactive thoughts.  In this case, I’ll often play movies in the background.

“How can you do both at the same time?” you may ask.

Easy. It actually helps. It gives my ego and/or Left analytical brain a task or distraction so that the Right creative brain can be free to do it’s thing.

I call it creative multitasking.

It keeps the critic, worry-wart, risk-aversive little me busy in one corner while I connect to my Higher Self & Spirit to create.

The Freedom Effect

That’s what happened while creating the detailed layers of this painting called  “The Freedom Effect”.

I was in the mood for some dot-therapy. It can be so relaxing to just make dots for hours on end.

But parts of me were objecting – either out of boredom, frustration, or negative self-talk: “You’re overdoing it with the dots, Dominique. Keep it simple stupid! You’re ruining it!”

So on this dot-making day, I watched (or more accurately listened to) Netflix documentaries on Einstein, Ram Dass, Tesla, and Chris O’Neil (yoga photographer).  Very inspiring!

I watch Netflix for a living! Not bad, eh?

It’s all part of creating a life by design that incorporates so many of the elements I enjoy. I’m a total movie-buff!

And I apparently didn’t overdo it with the dots because this little jewel of a painting was sold after I posted work-in-progress photos on Facebook – before it even got posted in my online shop.

Now that’s a good day at work!

So now I ask you, what does or what could creative multitasking looking like for you?

Feel free to leave a comment below.

Bev’s Soul Energy Portrait & Traveller’s Prayer

/in

Bev's Soul Energy Portrait

“Thanks so very much, from the bottom of my healing-so-quickly heart for my meditation and your inspirational, educational, thought-provoking emails. Your/my beautiful painting is moving me to the depths of my soul.

Our journey has opened my whole being to so much! You’ve ignited my fire so to speak, and I feel so much more alive and confident in my decision making. Thanks for being one of my intuition teachers/ guides. I truly feel I’ve grown tenfold in so little time … The tools you’ve provided, insight you’ve shared, and the motivation and support are – and I’ve no doubt will continue to be – an important part of this mindful intuitive journey.”

This was part of an email I received during Bev Sharpe’s Soul Energy Portrait Experience as 2016 became 2017. Now, 1.5 years later, Bev offered to share her experience as part of her unfolding process.

Interview with Bev 1.5 Years Later

1.  What inspired you to invest in a Soul Energy Portrait Experience back in 2016?

I met you at a Wellness Expo and started considering it then. Later, we were paired to share a room at a spiritual retreat where you were teaching. That confirmed it.

I was just finishing up a 5.5-year contract and ready to take time off to travel to be more in touch with the spiritual side of me. I knew I’d be in Canada to celebrate Christmas and England for New Year’s. Apart from that, I had no definite plan of where I was going.

2. How did our process influence your journey?

Communicating with you during my travels validated my experiences. This journey ( both with you and the travel) brought me so far! I was receiving all my Love Notes from you and it was divine timing. It gave me an opportunity to work on things. It was like the whole Universe was just open to me.

Our process allowed me to go inside and move away from ego and listen to what my body, my heart-mind, intuition was telling me. Seeing my painting electronically allowed me to see all the directions that I could go and the rivulets were never ending. It encouraged me to look around, ask myself what I needed & wanted, and listen attentively to the provided guidance & answers.

3.  How do you feel about your painting 1.5 years later?

I didn’t see the completed painting for 6 months (chuckle). My intended 2 months of travel evolved into 6 months. I feel that speaks loudly to the impact of the process for me!
I had all the digital photos, printed Love Notes, and meditation as part of my traveling altar. That was so important for me.
When I got my package upon my return to Newfoundland, I felt like I’d come home. Oh my goodness! Now, I’m still not sure if I want to stay or leave, or where I’m going to live or work, but I have my painting and so I’ll always be home.
I look at it daily. Recently, I’ve been sitting with it once a week. It has now reached a point where it’s helping with my creativity due in part to the messages it provides me and the journeys I take while sitting with it. A different aspect of it catches my attention at first  (sun, tree of life, labyrinth) – which helps me go into a meditative state, so I can listen to the messages.
On Friday, I created a sacred space with it.  I was torn in body, mind and spirit about a decision I needed to make, and sat with the painting.  My emotions were running really high. I rooted myself in my sitting space and in a very short time, I received my answer. It was amazing. Every one of my senses was heightened. I was feeling “Wow, I can tap into this?  That’s grace!”
Recently, I shared my Soul Energy Portrait with like minded people and it sparked such interesting conversations that would have never been opened up to me 2 years ago. I love it!

An Inspired Prayer

While co-creating Bev’s experience with her Higher Self & Team of Divine Helpers, I was inspired to write this Traveller’s Prayer. It incorporates many of the messages I received for her and symbolism from the painting. Bev shared that it’s now travelling with her sweet soul sister. We offer it here for you, so that it may now support your transformational journey.
*

A TRAVELLER’S PRAYER

Dear God and Guiding Spirits,
Angels of Light and Love,
Guide me on my Path to my Highest Good.

Thank you for supporting me
As I transmute the energies
That no longer serve me
To live, learn, and laugh
on my transformational journey.

Bless me in the radiant beam
Of your unconditional Love
That I may mirror your Light
At my very core
In all that I am and all that I do.

As above so below.
As within, so without.
Give me divine patience
To allow the answers to evolve
From the questions of my soul.

Guide me as I continue to explore
The many paths and perspectives before me.
From my centre to the outer rings
Of infinite possibility,
I am rich in opportunities and blessings.

May I accept with ease and grace
the path of least resistance
Abundant in the fruits of my labour
And kisses from the Universe.

I am ready for this daily rebirth
Back to my Self
And my shapeshifting Path.

I am my magnific-essence
Born of the Tree of Life,
I flow, I grow
I overflow and glow.

Aho

From the Beginning – a New Painting

/in

Doesn’t it feel great to get back to something you love doing but haven’t done in a while? What is that for you?

Although I’m a professional artist, I don’t always paint as much as I’d like. I hadn’t painted since May!

When July rolled around, I started work on a Soul Energy Portrait Experience for a client.

As is my custom, I used any leftover paint from each step of that process to begin a new painting on the side.

Then, about 4 layers in, this painting started taking on a life of its own.

It called to me through visions and extensions of the energy work I was doing for my client.

And that’s how “From the Beginning” came into being – inspired by the energy flowing through me in the service of someone else.

Then, the hours and hours of dot therapy – a form of meditative prayer – infused this painting with extra layers of high vibrational goodness. Can you feel it through the heart-warming and lower chakra nourishing colours?

From the Beginning

SOLD

As the mighty oak tree is already present in the acorn, so is unconditional love already present in our hearts and souls.

Our job as spiritual beings having a human experience is to allow that Love & Light germinating at our core to sprout, grow, flow, and blossom with the dawning of each new day.

Be it in relationship with yourself or with others,
May that love grow
May your love flow
May you be and do love
Rooted in the rich soil of your inner work
Connected to Source and All That Is.
And may you meet, along your path,
The love of one who chooses to grow with you
Learning together the many ways in which
Unconditional Love can manifest in relationship.

This is my prayer for you.
This is my prayer for me.

So be it. So I let it be.

The Layers of Life

/in , ,

“The Journey: All the Way Home to My Self”

You’re a work of art! Did you know that?

I didn’t say a piece of work… I said a work of art.

Who you are now is a result all your layers of experience from this lifetime and beyond.

They’re what brought you here. They’re the reasons you have the gifts you have to share. They’re why you have the compassion, understanding, perspectives, tools, skills & inner resources to be and do YOU!

As I share in the creative layering process for both my intuitive painting and photography, I invite you to honour the many layers of your life that make you who you are today: your experiences, challenges, blessings, relationships, dreams, etc.

Whether it be in intuitive painting or photography, the final art piece is infused with the energy, symbolism, texture, and colour of the layers that came before it.

Keep reading to discover the parallels between intuitive art & your life.

The Layers of Intuitive Painting

I paint in layers. Some paintings have 20 layers of paint on them. The creative process is as important, if not more so than the final piece.

I sometimes start with a vision I receive for what a painting wants to become, but I often have no idea. I just paint, following the flow of inspiration, layer by layer.

This asks me to:

  • embrace the mystery
  • let go of expectations
  • accept what is
  • be in the present while pulling from my experiences and skills set
  • enjoy the process.

Each layer, with its intentions, flow & designs, interaction with previous layers, happy accidents, channeled energy work, or misperceived disasters, helps shape what’s to come.

Here are but a few of the layers in the creation of: “The Journey: All the Way Home to My Self” – you can see all of them and close-ups in the blog post on its creation.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

In the end, the piece has a depth of texture, colour, energy, and meaning that goes beyond what the eyes can see. It’s a portal from the process to the Universal Energy Flow. This, I believe is why healers and spiritual seekers have long since been called to my work.

The Layers of Intuitive Photography

I use a similar process when I create the Visual Gifts for Divine Storytelling Time clients – these are a unique and empowering self-study intuitive reading package created at a distance to help you tune into your intuition and take inspired action in your life.

After channeling your soul story for about an hour, I am intuitively guided by your Team of Divine Helpers and mine to pull photographs from my vast collection of images from around the world.

Each of these holds additional symbolic or energetic clues for the client to explore on their Intuition into Action Treasure Map.

Together, these photographs hold the essence of their story and act as a visual portal to move them forward on their Path to their Highest Good. As I manipulate the layers digitally, I create a custom piece that the client can have printed up to wall size – with or without the affirmation.

For example, this client’s Visual Gift was created using 6 layers from 4 photographs (2 repeated with different effects):

  1. a stone angel holding a tray with a shell necklace and a bigger shell in the middle;
  2. a strong perspective line of towering palms leading up to the Kalachakra Stupa in the Paleaku Gardens Peace Sanctuary in Hawaii;
  3. a nightlight in the bathroom that changed colours, attracting a beautiful moth
  4. on the way back from a ceremony in Bali, a picture of a street market through the rain splattered windows of the car

The final result is something new & unique, only possible with the meaningful and colourful layers of what came before it. It’s a work of art inspired by the client’s life and his / her Divine Storytelling Time guidance.

Your Life is a Work of Art

Can you see now how your life is also a work of art?

Sure, it may have had an awkward teenager phase or layers you’d rather scrub off.

But in truth, every layer is a gift.

It’s just about learning to look at each layer through the eyes of your soul, through the eyes of Source to see how each has added the necessary energy, texture, colour, and gifts to what is opening up to you now.

Please allow yourself to see that and to stay open to what the next layer is calling you to co-create.

You’re a work in progress – perfect in your imperfection – and the creation of this masterpiece won’t be over until it’s over.

Happy co-creation!
