Enter the Mandala: The Law of Attraction

/in ,

The-Law-of-Attraction-Dominique-Hurley

Follow your bliss and you’ll attract the keys to unlock your magnific-essence. The Universe will answer your prayers.

When my Guides first asked me to create a dozen mandala paintings based on the Universal Laws, this is the only one I could name. Welcome to mandala #7: The Law of Attraction.

Did you see the movie “The Secret?”  That’s what made The Law of Attraction so popular.

My favourite mentor though is Abraham channeled through Esther Hicks.

Painting this mandala while listening to Abraham Hicks on YouTube was pure bliss.

As Joseph Campbell said:

“If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.”

“Follow your bliss.” That’s what the Law of Attraction is all about.

Today, I give you a new twist on the teachings, this time from my own team of Divine Helpers.  You get to listen to the intuitive reading and see how I created this mandala with many of the symbols they provided in my guided visual journey.

May this inspire you to put the Law of Attraction into action.

Listen In

When I ask Source, my Spirit Guides, and Angels a question and close my eyes, they deliver a mini-movie filled with symbols – it’s like watching a Disney-Pixar film filled with lessons. It’s beautiful and meaningful.

I asked on behalf of you and me, so trust that there’s a message here for you too.

As you listen (30 minutes) and look at the painting, think about what these symbols mean to you. What messages do you get?  

This was the Spirit Calling Card reading I got at the beginning. Perfect, don’t you think?

The Symbols


I offer some insights, but feel free to add yours to the comments below. Let’s learn from each other.

The Planetary Prayer Beads


Law-of-Attraction-wip-Dominique-Hurley-DLH_2592Prayers beads are common in many spiritual practices. I grew up using the rosary to focus my mind and prayers. Mala beads are now popular with the yoga crowd and those following Buddhist rituals.

Seeing that friendly giant using the planets to pray in my vision was heart-opening! It reminded me of:

  • the gravitational attraction of the planets in an expanding universe
  • astrology
  • something much greater – a higher power
  • the universe answering our prayers

Can you add to this list?

The Mountain Slide

Law-of-Attraction-detail-Dominique-Hurley-DLH_2639

In my vision, I saw  kids sliding down a huge spiral slide that went from the top of the mountain all the way through the earth.

As they laughed and played, their joy attracted all sorts of goodness to them.

It was like static attracting lint.  The happier they were, the more pixy dust they collected on the way down.

When they got to the other side of the planet, they had no trouble running back up to the top to go again.

The soundtrack was great – imagine a busy water park on a hot summer day.

Before going down the slide again, the kids would put what they’d attracted into their locker.  These lockers had no doors.  I got a real feeling of trust and abundance from that.

If you look closely, you’ll see symbols of love, peace, joy, health, wealth, happiness, and more in those lockers.

The Power of Emotion

If the line-up for the slide got too long, the children held hands at the base of the mountain and sang.

This was all about keeping the emotions high.  There was no impatience or frustration.

These kids were still connected enough to Source to know that feeling good is what brings more goodness into their lives.

Abraham Hicks calls that your emotional guidance system. No matter where you are on the scale below, all you need do is start thinking thoughts that make you feel a bit better. It’s not about giant leaps up the ladder. Just head on up.

So if you’re in a state of despair, for example, anger can be very helpful. But if you’re worried, don’t let it turn into anger. Do something or think something that might turn that anger into a less charged frustration.

The Emotional Guidance Scale (From the book “Ask and It is Given”, pg. 114)

  1. Joy/Appreciation/Empowered/Freedom/Love
  2. Passion
  3. Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness
  4. Positive Expectation/Belief
  5. Optimism
  6. Hopefulness
  7. Contentment
  8. Boredom
  9. Pessimism
  10. Frustration/Irritation/Impatience
  11. Overwhelment
  12. Disappointment
  13. Doubt
  14. Worry
  15. Blame
  16. Discouragement
  17. Anger
  18. Revenge
  19. Hatred/Rage
  20. Jealousy
  21. Insecurity/Guilt/Unworthiness
  22. Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness

Like attracts like. So what are you feeling today? 

The power of emotion was shown to me over and over again in my guided visual journey. I chose to represent this as swirls of colour, both in the circle of singing children and the characters in the outer ring of the mandala.

That’s where you’ll find:

  • the meditators who connected to Source by quieting their minds;
  • the skater who went from feeling totally neutral to joy through her passion;
  • the kids who were playing marbles (their futures were swirling inside those “marbles” – another word for mind and rewards).
  • the magnets that were created by those emotions
  • the keys (including a USB key, which I thought was funny) to unlock what we desire in this life

Pulsating Shining Rings

There are no accidents in intuitive painting.

I wanted to paint the pulsating heartbeat of the world from my vision.  I started with a bright blue pulse around the mountain, but when I stood back, it overpowered the other elements.

So I covered it up. But its energy and texture are still there.

Then, I painted a golden heartbeat ring instead.  Love it!  It’s about life and the vibration we send out into the world by our very being, both on the surface and below.

We don’t have to be loud about what we want. It’s all about asking and receiving through what Abraham Hicks calls the Art of Allowing.

Good Things Are On Their Way

I was in such bliss painting and listening to Abraham Hicks that I know more good things are on their way. I trust that.

I ALSO know I’ve attracted a slow start to the sales in my online shop because of all the technological stress and near burn-out I experienced while creating it.  

I wasn’t always following my emotional guidance system.

But that’s OK. It’s all part of the learning.

I know that doubt, regret, or complaints would only stop the abundance of clients and experiences I’ve asked for. I’ll just stay in my bliss and take action when inspired.

These mandalas have been great teaching tools for me, and I hope they’ve helped you too.

What’s one thing you can do today to follow your bliss?

“Pétales Musicales” Painting from the NL Folk Festival

/in ,
Petales-Musicales-Dominique-Hurley

“Pétales Musicales” – 4′ x 4′ – created live at the NL Folk Festival.

Remember when I wrote that live painting was a stretch of my comfort zones?

Well, I had a great time painting in the Espace Franco at the NL Folk Festival last weekend.  Thanks again to the Réseau Culturel Francophone TNL for the invite!

No regrets! That’s usually what happens when I feel the fear and do it anyway. Sure I was nervous, but excited too. I’m so glad I listened to a higher calling.

In this post, you’ll see the layers and read some stories about the creative process behind “Pétales Musicales”.  For purchasing details, click here.

Symbolism

“Pétales Musicales” (Musical Petals) is as much about listening to the song of your soul as it is about becoming a part of the music around you.

If you honour your unique voice first, you’ll rock this world …. (I couldn’t say folk it… just didn’t sound right).

Live Painting at the NL Folk Festival

My mission was to get the festival’s energy down on canvas.

If music, summer, fun, variety, and community are what you get from this painting, then I did my job!

My “research” started Friday night, sitting on the lawn of Bannerman Park with hundreds of other folks, filling my soul with the music of Emma Peckford, Allan Ricketts, Katie Baggs, Sean Panting, Kat McLevey, Andrew Laite & Josh Sandu (Rube & Rake) and Steve Maloney.

I could hear Jim Payne and Fergus O’Byrne from the bus stop, but I missed Hey Rosetta. They started at 10:30 and I knew I’d be a wreck the next day if I stayed.

In bed by 10pm, I was all set to go early on Saturday morning for set-up!

The weather was cold (9°C at times) and damp, but it didn’t rain (amazing since the forecast called for 20mm on Sunday).

The music, the crowd, my lunchtime fish tacos, and all those who stopped to chat inspired this painting. It came to life layer by layer.

I never knew what the next layer would bring. That’s the beauty of intuitive painting!

During the Fred Penner concert, I walked around tracing hands of children in the crowd. Thanks to Catie and Freddie of St. John’s, Sam and Anna of Hollyrood, and Ava of Nova Scotia!  You’re at the heart of this festive flower!

On Sunday morning, I woke up raring to go. I started an hour before the festival opened.

I was glad I had my alpaca wool socks, layers of thrift shop fleece (great for paint stains), and my groovy hat!  I love NL weather as long as I’m dressed for it!

09-Leslie-Quennehen_FFTNL-Dominique-Hurley-Folk-Fest-_0471

I couldn’t believe it! The thick strokes I used for the petals on Saturday weren’t dry by the time we left on Sunday! We’re talking acrylic paint that normally dries in a few hours…

If you see a few bugs when you look real close, that’s why!… all part of festival and floral life!  Part of me feels bad, but our local black flies have taken a few chunks out of me this week, leaving smears of bright red blood on my face and neck, so part of me doesn’t mind …

The Finishing Touches At Home

Yay for de-humidifiers! The petals dried at home overnight.

I worked on the painting for another 15 hours.  

You can’t see all the tangle pattern details in the hands and shading from far, but when you get up close, there’s a whole other world to explore. Click on the photos below to see them larger.

Then there’s the iridescent 3-D paint. Fun! Fun! Fun! Did I say I love my job!

“Pétales Musicales” (48″ x 48″)

I spray varnished it yesterday, covered from head to toe in protective gear.  Then I headed to Beachy Cove beach with friends to chill out. Actually, it was sunny and warm. What a contrast!

“Pétales Musicales” is SOLD.

Enter the Mandala: The Law of Compensation

Law-of-Compensation-Dominique-Hurley

Holy Camoly! Where do I start?    

How about with “I love this mandala!”

Welcome to #6 in the Enter the Mandala Project – The Law of Compensation. It’s part of a series of intuitively sourced paintings to better understand the Twelve Universal Laws.

If I had to pick a favourite mandala right now, this would be it.  I’m sure it’s not the first time I think that about a new painting, but I’m on a post-painting high right now!

Basically, this law says that you get what you give.

The more you contribute in life, the more you receive from the Universe. Of course the opposite is also true.

It’s another version of “you reap what you sow”, which we also saw in “The Law of Cause and Effect“.

Actually, I’ve just read that some people group these two laws together.  But I’m glad I have 2 different paintings for them. The teachings I got from the 2 intuitive readings were unique and worthwhile.

The Intuitive Reading

I’ve just re-listened to the intuitive reading I did almost a month ago for this mandala.  That’s where I got all the symbols I used here. I thought I’d done a good job of including the whole reading in the painting, but now I see that I just scratched the surface.

Our Divine Helpers delivered quite the mini-movie for this one – a 23-minute trip I invite you to listen to.

Here’s the Spirit Calling Card spread I got at the beginning of the reading.  It’s yet another invitation to reflect on the Universal Laws to create the life you were meant to live.

Law-of-Compensation-SCC-Dominique-Hurley

A Closer Look at the Symbols

Law-of-Compensation-wip-Dominique-Hurley-DLH_2487I love this gal!

At first I didn’t get why Medusa would show up here.

But she isn’t Medusa.  She is the spirit of a being actively giving, receiving, and building in the world.

Her tentacles reach out to take and share the riches of the world. Her hands open to receive, and her mechanical arms work in the fields and cities to create abundance.

I have to say … I look at construction crews and their machinery quite differently since I painted her.

On her forehead, or third eye, I painted the symbol of eternity, or the number 8 (symbol of abundance).

At one point, I entered through her eye and into the depths of her cavernous mind. That’s where I saw some of the symbols that I painted on the outside of the canvas: the treasure chest of riches, the committee meeting, the caveman drawings, plants, and a warm golden light. I also added the cauldron and watermelon field from an earlier part of the reading.

The more you give, the more you receive… Think about it. How do these relate to the Law of Compensation for you?  

Then you’ve got Robin Hood and Peter Pan.  Why do you think they showed up in my vision? I got a sense of purposeful community when I saw them flicking back and forth in my mind’s eye.

Peter Pan’s gang also brought magic and mischievous playfulness while Robin Hood’s band of Merry Men brought moral fairness or justice.

Law-of-Compensation-wip-Dominique-Hurley-DLH_2490

After that,  you’ve got the caterpillars inching their way up the leaves, eating and defecating as they go. They later grew wings in my reading.  I believe they represent fuelling up with enough energy for transformation. I also got a sense of our abundance being used and recycled as fertilizer for future growth.

Take a look between the stems. You’ll see a reflective pool of water. It not only provides a mirror for our main character, but life-giving droplets dripping from the roots. That’s where they became ballet-dancing feet in my vision.

So are the drops feeding the plant or coming from the plant and nourishing the earth?  I got the sense that things are multidirectional in the Law of Compensation.

And what about those endless doors opening to the depths of the Universe? That’s where Earth, as a bouncing ball, came to rest. It’s also where its growth was being measured against the door frame, just like when parents mark the heights of their kids at various ages.  The more doors you open with your generosity and kindness, the bigger your world becomes.

How do you like what’s happening on the outside ring of our planet? In my vision, the entire surface was covered in a highly textured network of richness and community.  Everyone’s tentacles were wrapped around the planet, linking to each other in a spirit of friendship. Together they created the flow of giving and receiving.

There were cities and forests, fields and livestock.  Don’t you just love how the sheep is wearing a sweater made of its wool?

I’m not sure if Tinker Bell is flying around the canvas adding sparkle everywhere, or if it’s being generated  by the giving and receiving happening there, but the whole Universe sparkled from an abundance of love and beauty.  I used 3-D sparkle paint to outline the beings and mica chips around the outside of the planet (for love and compassion).

I tell ya, when our Guides get together to deliver these mini-movies, it’s fantastic!  You can get your own personalized symbol-filled Guided Visual Journey to find answers for questions in your life – click here for more information.

More on the Law of Compensation

Law-of-Compensation-wip-Dominique-Hurley-DLH_2491Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote that each person is compensated in an identical manner for what he or she has equally contributed.

That can be a lot or a little.

He called this the Law of Compensation  – the law of all laws.

Bob Proctor, who you might recognize from the movie “The Secret” explains it more in this video.

So if today is a reflection of what you’ve given in the past, how can your choices today attract what you’d like to receive in the future?

The Law of Compensation in Action

Last Friday, my 16 students graduated from their intensive 5-week English as a Second Language Explore program at Memorial University of Newfoundland. It’s my fifth summer in a row teaching it.

Once again, it’s been such a rewarding summer! I’m not just talking about the very appreciated income. I’m also talking about the fulfillment that comes from fully dedicating myself to my class for 5 weeks.

As anyone who has ever taught will know, the more you give, the more the students will give back. It just warmed my heart to see them embrace what I had to offer and flourish in the environment we created together. That’s not all. The more the students gave, the more they got out of it, and the easier it was for me to teach them.

These super motivated students, mostly from Quebec, won government scholarships to improve their English and experience a different part of Canada. They g0t 16 hours of class a week, plus afternoon and evening activities, workshops, presentations, outings and weekend day-trips.  And, of course… homework.

In addition to class prep, I spent much of my free time during the past 5 weeks correcting journals and essays.  I know before I start that I won’t be getting much painting or socializing in for 5 weeks. That’s partly my choice. Teaching takes a lot of energy for an introvert like me.

But as I said, it’s so rewarding!  I designed a program that’s as much about personal growth as it is about language. I love what I can offer here and the students do too.

My employer has also been very appreciative of my work. She’s offered me special curriculum development projects in the past that tapped into my creativity at times when I needed the income.  For example, I got to develop a whole series of listening skills lessons based on inspiring TED Talks.  I also developed 3 thematic units that were fun and educational to develop and great to teach this year.

I’m coming to accept that I’m a multipassionate being. I don’t know if I’ll ever be a full-time artist year-round. This year, I only taught ESL for 5 weeks, and it was nice to get out of my hermit cave and explore and express my love of beauty and the beauty of love (my mission) in the classroom.

I’m grateful for it!

Yikes! Am I a Fraud?

/in ,
Zippora painting

“Zippora” – 12″ x 12″ -acrylics on gallery-wrapped canvas.

Earlier this month, I went to see the movie “Inside Out” with a friend. Have you seen it?

I don’t usually go for animated films, but the preview for this one grabbed my attention. It’s all about how our emotions rule our lives – for better or worse. I definitely recommend it!

It was cute. It was funny. It was sad.  But throughout large chunks of the movie, I kept asking myself: “Do my intuitive reading clients think I’m a fraud?” 

“Why?” you ask?

Some of the visions I’d described to recent customers were right there on the movie screen!  When I had downloaded guidance from their Divine Helpers, they’d given me some of the same visions they gave the creative team at Disney-Pixar! Sure, that was cool, but it was also weird.

When you think about it, it’s really not that surprising. When we connect to Divine Oneness, we tap into the same Creative Source. So it’s natural that we may end up with very similar ideas, etc.  

Dominique-Hurley-NamasteWhen I connect to your Divine Helpers, ask a question, and close my eyes, it’s just like being in a Walt Disney movie.  I see the mini-movie your guides are screening for you in my mind’s eye and describe/ record it. You then use the worksheets to further develop your own intuitive skills, interpret the guidance, and come up with an action plan.

So there you have it – I’m not a fraud!  If ever I’m looking for a career change, though, I might consider writing movie scripts for Disney-Pixar.

“Honestly, working with Dominique was amazing! It was a very powerful experience that I highly recommend. So much of the imagery she created really resonated with me. Her visual gifts are lovely and she has an incredible talent at painting images and entire scenes for you with her words. Through her reading, Dominique was able to channel the answers I was looking for, showing me that they were deep within me all along.”

Soul Energy Portrait: “Jen’s Magnific-Essence”

/in ,

Jens-Magnific-Essence Energy Painting CommissionCreating this Soul Energy Portrait for Jen Onyskie in Manitoba was a very moving experience – for both of us!

I feel so honoured to be of service in this way.

Happily, Jen welcomed the opportunity to share her experience.

 

“Jen’s Magnific-Essence”

I love knowing how people find my work, or how it finds them.

Jen first saw one of my exhibitions at Moksha Yoga in 2012, when she was in St. John’s for a conference.  When she returned last year, she purchased a set of my Spirit Calling Cards.  In June, she contacted me to co-create an energy painting.

Opening Meditation

I opened our session with sacred ritual to prepare myself and the space.  I then asked The Universe, her Guides, angels and other divine helpers to channel a creative visualization based on her chosen theme.

It included openings for her to access guidance, unique experiences, visions, and feelings. It also included specific messages and techniques to help with her intention.

Jen’s commitment to the process was obvious from the beginning, when she set the intention to listen to the recording every day for a week.

“It is amazing how my visions change every time I go through the process…”

The Layers

“Jen’s Magnific-Essence” Soul Energy Portrait commission went through several transformations during our time working together.  It was great to hear back that she really resonated with the symbolism and messages I was emailing her, along with the photos.

“I am completely overwhelmed with the power of your words, the images of my painting in progress as well as what my energy guides are telling me.  I have read and reread all emails multiple times over the weekend as well as watching my painting transform layer by layer, but yet I can still see the layers beneath- incredible!  I am amazed at the power my painting has on me for emotional releases and feeling different emotions- it is truly a gift!”

Energy Work

Once the painting was completed, I was moved to do one more energy session for Jen. These, of course, are different every time.

Time and distance are not an issue for energy work.  This is explained a little further by my mandala painting posts on The Law of Divine Oneness and The Law of Vibration.

Jen’s energy session not only involved balancing her chakras and releasing blocks, but also infusing her painting, so that it will continue to be an empowering tool on her journey.

A Gift To Her Self

Energy Painting Commission detailInvesting in a Soul Energy Portrait Experience is an exercise in allowing, in trust, in wellness.  

As usual with an intuitive painting, I never know what it will be before I start. Neither does the client …  That takes courage. Bravo Jen!

I’ll admit, it can be a bit scary for me, not knowing if the client will love their painting.

When I remember, however, that this is a work of art co-created with divine assistance, I can easily let go of that fear.  I know it will serve them in exactly how it is meant to serve.

Still, getting Jen’s email soon after she received her painting/gift package was a thrill.

“I could not wait to open it at home, so I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning in my office! … I am struggling for words at  how I felt when I first saw it and how I feel  now… I cried, of course, I am flooded with emotion- joy, happiness, excitement- it is so beautiful in so many ways….I instantly I felt the desire to blow into the dandelion, which I did with an intention to live and experience the joy all around me.  When I close my eyes- I see the dandelion puffs floating away taking my intentions and sending them out into the universe.”

Journey Into the Law of Vibration – Enter the Mandala

Here it is – the second of the Enter the Mandala Project paintings – The Law of Vibration.

As an intuitive artist, journeying into the Law of Vibration has meant riding the sinuous waves of energy throughout space and time as well as skipping from one God Particle to another within all things.

What a trip!

I’ll do my best to share with you the wonders of both the creative and spiritual processes here.

The Spirit Calling Card Reading

As you know, my goal in this series is to explore and express the Twelve Universal Laws.

It’s part of my own spiritual journey, using my intuitive gifts to generate a better understanding of the concepts on a body, mind, and spirit level.

In addition to the initial interpretations I share in the audio below, this Spirit Calling Card reading affirmed that by answering the call of my Angels and Spirit Guides to create this series, I am planting seeds on all levels. By using intuition and colour as my mediums, I am evolving and opening a gateway for those interested in journeying with me.

Thanks for coming along!

Listen In

I love the visual journeys I take when I channel a Divine Storytelling Time! Whether I’m doing one to source information for myself, a painting, or as part of an intuitive reading for a client, they’re such rich sources of experience and symbology.

You get to join me on this short journey, which starts right after the Spirit Calling Card reading.

I invite you to listen as you explore the meaning of The Law of Vibration through the photos below.

The Creative Process

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Up Close

It took me about 75 hours to create this 30″ x 30″ painting.  I spent about 16 of those dot-making … a very meditative process.

As it was the last week of the Hay House Summit 2015, I also spent many of those hours listening to inspiring podcasts.  While my left brain was listening, my right brain entered the mandala, riding the waves of creativity and energy.

The Spiritual Process

It’s amazing to think (and know, and feel) that absolutely everything is pure energy vibrating at different frequencies.

I’ve long accepted this when it comes to the things we can see with the naked eye – be it people, plants, man-made objects, etc. I was paying attention in science class!

I also knew that this was true of what we can perceive with our other senses, such as sounds and smells. It even made sense that dog whistles, which we can’t hear, are vibrating at an imperceptible frequency.

I remember being fascinated, however, when I was introduced to the fact that thoughts, beliefs, and emotions are also vibrations.  Even consciousness is vibration! These aren’t only spiritual concepts, but quantum physics ones as well.

If you haven’t seen the movies “What the Bleep Do We Know!?”  and “What the Bleep: Down the Rabbit Hole” yet, I recommend them. They do a great job of explaining parts of this.

MOST INTRIGUING:

I don’t remember hearing or reading anything about it, but what has intrigued me most through this intuitive painting experience is the idea that time and history also vibrate at specific energetic frequencies. Is that why repressed emotions from this or past lifetimes get stored in our bodies and psyches? Is that where the idea of time travel came from? The fact that my visual journey through the Law of Vibration took me from cavemen to Columbus to modern times fascinates me.

The more I painted and the more I listened, the more I understood. Teal Swan, one of the Hay House speakers who was born with extrasensory perception, explained how she doesn’t see negative space like most of us do. For her, there is no empty space. Everything is vibrating in waves of energy, including the wind, the air, etc. There is no clear separation between things.

LINKS:

My experience journeying through this mandala also reaffirmed the link between the Law of Vibration and the Law of Attraction.  By vibrating at a certain frequency, through the power of our emotions, we attract what is also vibrating at that same frequency.

As Abraham (channeled by Esther Hicks) explained in a great interview by Dr. Wayne Dwyer, we have 17 seconds after having a negative thought to get off that vibration frequency. Esther herself, when she notices such thoughts, simply starts counting backwards to unhook from that frequency.  It stops her from spiralling down the chain of negative thoughts that remind her of related negative thoughts, etc.  I also like Abraham’s description of sleep as a reset button.  That’s why it’s so important to spend the first minutes upon waking on the higher frequency vibrations instead of instantly checking emails or listening to the news.  I don’t listen to the news, but I do jump onto the computer a little too quickly …

As spiritual beings here on earth to have human experiences, we are bound to vibrate at various frequencies during our lives, our chapters, our days and even our minutes. The importance of our roles as vibration managers though, is an interesting one to think about.  Are we following the leadership of our Guides and Higher Selves or are we so caught up in the details that we’re spinning on the lower frequencies – stuck until we remember to reconnect to our true essence?

I could go on, but you get the picture.  The Law of Vibration is as it is. There are many ways to understand it, including the various spiritual and metaphysical teachings I’ve been studying for years.  This was simply another way to explore and express it, helping me perceive and experience life and the world in a much more unconditionally loving way.

As an artist, I receive several requests to donate work to charity auctions and events every year. It simply wouldn’t be feasible for me to say yes to all of them. So, like with many things, I go with my gut feeling and assess whether the project is aligned with my own mission.

When I heard about the Masonic Park Art Project back in February, I lit up. What a great idea! This project vibrated with the love of beauty and the beauty of love.

Lorna Yard, the organizer, put out a call for 40 artists to help bring joy and colour to the rooms of residents at the Masonic Park Nursing Home. Her own father, Cyril, is a resident at the nursing home. When he moved in, Lorna lovingly decorated his room, but many of the other residents didn’t have anyone to do the same for them.

In her words:

“These are the people who built a world for us, who raised our parents, who tended our communities, and who we owe everything to. I felt they deserve something beautiful to remind them of how beautiful they are.”

She had no trouble signing up 40 crafts people, painters, photographers, etc.

A couple of weeks ago, we each received a short biography of the resident we were paired with.

This was mine:

Female in her 90s. She is originally from Pound Cove. She was a home maker and a volunteer in her church for 40 years. Her faith and spirituality have always been extremely important to her and has remained so. Her favourite hymn is ‘The Old Rugged Cross’.

I really enjoyed creating this piece especially for her. It was made with many layers of acrylic paints, love, and prayers.

“Shine On” (9″ x 12″)

The painting was inspired by the idea of a stained glass window and the radiant love of God / The Universe that shines on all of us. That’s why I named it “Shine On” (9″ x 12″).

I’m really looking forward to our June 13th mini-exhibition of the artwork and kitchen party at the nursing home. That’s when I’ll get to meet my recipient and the other participants in this heart-warming project.

What a beautiful way to create connection in the community and transform a space. I’m honoured to be a part of this effort to add love, light and colour to this nursing home. Thanks Lorna! May your initiative inspire many others.

There are so many ways to be of service by matching our love and passions with the needs of the community. How do your favourite businesses give back? Are you involved in a volunteer project that warms your heart? Please share in the discussion below, knowing our stories will inspire others.

Journey Into Divine Oneness – Enter the Mandala

Law-of-Divine-Oneness-Dominique-Hurley

 

This is the first painting of 12 in the Enter the Mandala Project.  I’m so excited to share The Law of Divine Oneness with you!

What a journey! Here’s what I’ve learned through the co-creation of this mandala.

Sourced from Divine Energy, all that is seen and unseen comes from the field of infinite possibilities.

Together, we move as Divine Oneness in a spiralling web of interconnectedness. As to one, so to all.

The Intuitive Journey

Visionary artists receive their inspiration in many ways: through dreams, meditation, mind altering substances, etc. I’m one of the rare ones who’s never even tried drugs. That’s not a good or bad thing – it just is.

For this series of paintings, I decided to use my intuitive journeying process (which I call my mini-movies) to dive deeper into the Twelve Universal Laws.

As you’ll hear, I first asked Source and my team of Divine Helpers to guide me.

I then travelled through worlds of imagery to collect messages and symbols related to the Law of Divine Oneness.

Since I asked on behalf everyone, you get to play detective with me as we decipher these messages. Have fun with this. I did!

Listen In:

While listening to this 15-minute audio, take a look at the Spirit Calling Cards below and the Creative Process photos.  See if you can find how I incorporated the symbols I was given. I’m not much into realism, so some symbols are, well, symbolic.

There’s no right or wrong way of doing this. If you’d rather just close your eyes and experience the journey that way, go for it.

The Spiritual Process

I’m sure you’ve heard that spiritual growth isn’t always smooth.

Have you ever decided to work on an issue only to start having opportunities to do so hit you in the face?  This form of “ask and you shall receive” can be challenging for sure! But the rewards are worthwhile.

It’s no surprise, therefore, that having asked to understand the Law of Divine Oneness, I got to do so – not only through my intuitive journey and painting, but in every day life.  Immediately!

Right after a very absorbing painting session, I went to the kitchen, where my housemate presented me with a huge mirror (no, not literally). She helped me see that I was not only disconnected from her, but also from the here and now.  I was still in my head and in my painting, reflecting on the meaning of Oneness.  Wow!

After a few seconds of shock, we both recognized that we were being offered a wonderful opening for connection, unconditional love, and understanding.  I suddenly realized on a cellular level (as my entire body was vibrating) how true it is that what we do to one person affects everyone and everything everywhere.  At first, I could almost sense the shockwaves traveling around the planet. But then, because we chose to lovingly deal with the situation, I could see this having a much greater effect that reached far beyond the borders of our kitchen and even our world. I was grateful to my Divine Helpers for showing me that.

There have been quite a lot of shifts in my personal world since I started this exploration into the Law of Divine Oneness.

I’m coming out of hermit mode after a winter of diving more deeply into my Self and my art/business.  I’m feeling called to being of service at a greater level. I’m reconnecting to the infinite possibilities, to gratitude, and to people. I’m letting go of fear, of judgment, of limiting beliefs.  Great stuff!

Painting: “I’ve Got Your Back”

/in

Ive got your back-Dominique HurleyHere’s a clear example of creating out of necessity.

This painting was born from a state of desperately needing to reconnect to Source, to Support, to Purpose, to Love during a period when I’m spending 10-16 hours a day learning and building my new website.  I get overwhelmed and scared much too easily when it comes to technology.

So I took Easter Sunday off the computer to dive back into the creative realms that nourish me on so many levels.

Can you feel the energy that was channeled through this blessed image?

It spent the whole next day beside me at the computer and my eyes sought it often as panic and frustration mounted.

It reminded me to breathe and connect on a moment by moment basis. Very empowering!

I’m glad to say I’m in a much better space now because of it (although still only making baby steps towards my goals). Still, it’s progress.  Thank you dear God and Guiding Spirits, Angels of Light and Love.  I know you’re here – all I need to do is remember to ask for help.

We only need but ask…
