Want to find out what your intuition is saying to you? Tune in!
Pick the tree photo that attracts you most.
Then, scroll down to find out how it’s asking you to exercise your treedom of choice.
As you contemplate your chosen image, also add your own interpretation. This is a great way to work out your intuitive muscles. Why do you think that image is calling you?
Always take what serves you and leave the rest.
How you understand or interpret what’s happening in front of you will depend on your perception.
How do you see, hear, or feel your environment?
Are you focusing on the light or the shadows? Do you have a filter of love or fear?
You may have learned a fearful approach from your parents or circumstances. But habits can change. It’s your choice.
As you walk through your day, simply become aware of your default choice.
- How do you act or react when you see a homeless person?
- How do you feel when the phone rings?
- Where do your thoughts go when you’re dealing with money?
- What goes on inside you when someone gives you a compliment?
- Do you feel jealous or happy for those spreading good news on social media?
- How do you act or react to the fluctuations in your business?
- etc.
Every moment of your waking day is a window into the world you’re creating for yourself through your perceptions.
Don’t beat yourself up for your limiting beliefs and patterns. They’re a gift and a teacher.
The more you understand what love and fear feel like in your body, the better equipped you’ll be to choose love.
If you’re constantly checking in with your observer Self as you act and react to life, you’ll start redirecting your gaze and your ways.
So write yourself some post-it notes or activate a chime on your phone every 15 minutes as a reminder to check-in. In that moment, are you in love with life or in fear of it? Is it time to switch filters?
Your Truth is love. May you find your way back to it over and over again. Namaste.

“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” Viktor Frankl – Holocaust Survivor & Psychoanalyst
Viktor Frankl discovered the difference between liberty and freedom during the war. His book “Man’s Search for Meaning” is a powerful testimony to it.
Liberty is the freedom granted to you from society or some other external control. Prisoners, for example, have limited liberty.
Freedom, on the other hand, is the power to act or think in your chosen way no matter your external circumstances. It’s the choice you make in that space between stimulus and response.
Viktor Frankl trained himself to exercise his freedom until it grew beyond the limits of liberty. He practiced mental, emotional and moral disciplines through memory and imagination. In the end, he had more freedom than his Nazi captors.
So how does this relate to you?
Do you have limited liberty in your life right now because of your circumstances? Are you:
- a busy parent
- a caregiver to your elderly relative
- working in a job with excessively high demands
- limited financially,
- physically disabled or ill?
You get the picture. Are you feeling ‘imprisoned’ by anything in your life?
If you’ve picked this photo, there’s an invitation here for you to grow through your imagination. Visualize what it is you want. Feel it. Dance in your mind even if you’re bedridden. Close your eyes for 5 minutes during your busy work day and walk on a tropical beach with the sand and salt water between your toes.
Be happy. Be free.
Exercise your power of freedom to choose how you’ll act, think, or feel in your circumstances. Make life-enhancing choices in that space between stimulus and response.
Ask your angels for support. They’re always there to help, but you need to ask. That’s also part of free will.

According to the Law of Correspondence, the world as you see and experience it emanates from your thoughts and feelings. The more you nurture and cultivate your inner world, the more your outer world will match your true essence.
“As above, so below, as within, so without…” Hermes Trismegistus
Your current reality has sprouted from your mind.
How do you feel when you read that? Is there resistance?
Where in your life can you acknowledge this?
In which areas is this harder to accept?
Moment by moment, you can choose light or darkness – love or fear.
Your mind is your gateway to transformation! Isn’t that wonderful?! You don’t have to go looking for it – you already have all you need to change either your life or how you perceive it.
Take this moment, for example. Does reading this make you want to beat yourself up for your failure to create the world you truly want? Are you experiencing any negative feelings about yourself, the text, or me? Or are you reading this with hope and empowerment, grateful for the reminder that you can create a new reality?
Just like with our friends the trees, your full potential in this world already lies within you. By tapping into your true essence and nurturing your growth, you can evolve as you were meant to do / be.
With every new day, you’re given another opportunity to re-create a world more aligned with your Truth. What can you do or how can you be today to cultivate the ground in which your future grows?

You’re not alone. You’re never alone.
You’re constantly floating in a sea of unconditional love – supported and carried upon its all-seeing, all-accepting waves.
If you’re not feeling it though, your imagination can help.
You’ve heard of fake it til you make it? So go ahead. Pretend. It’ll help you let go of the real illusion – your disconnection from Source.
See yourself standing in a beam of light. Imagine that you’re being showered by the Creator’s pure love. See His messengers, the angels and archangels, standing all around you. They are! Have a group hug if you like that idea. Stay in that vision for as long as it takes to melt your resistance. Ask them to help you let go of all that no longer serves you in body, mind, or spirit.
Take a walk in nature and imagine that every tree is a source of eternal wisdom. Touch or hug one and pretend that it’s infusing you with both grounding and connecting energy. It is! Let Mother Earth nourish you. Connect with her through your bare skin and imagine her sucking out of you all negativity, tiredness, concerns, etc. She is!
Now pretend that your family, friends, colleagues, and strangers are a reflection of Source here on Earth. They are! Imagine that God lives within them as He/She does in you. Let the Spirit in you honour the Spirit in them in the way you talk, listen, interact, and treat them.
You’re never alone. You may feel lonely at times, but that’s because you’re feeling disconnected from the truth. Reality is that you’re always in the presence of pure unconditional love. Simply use your imagination to melt away any resistance to it. Let it in. It’s already yours.

How Will You Exercise Your Treedom of Choice?

Reborn of Compassion
/in PaintingsIt’s from 30 hours of being in this contemplative and co-creative space that “Reborn of Compassion” came into being.
I can’t express how open and expanded my heart felt (and continues to feel) when I gazed upon this finished painting.
The energy I channeled for this piece brought tears of joy to my eyes. So loving….
“Reborn of Compassion”
(18″ x 36″)
Acrylics on gallery-wrapped canvas.
Original SOLD
Prints available.
Keep reading below…
The Fiery Flow
After applying layers of wet upon wet fluid and high flow professional acrylic paints onto the canvas, I got out of the way.
My job was done. I’d mixed the colours of fire with the movement of water and knew that if I kept trying to force things to happen, it would just mess things up.
Truly, the studio is a great classroom for life.
For over an hour, I literally watched the paint dry while singing Sanskrit yoga chants cross-legged on my colourfully stained drop sheets.
The colours gently flowed and mixed across the canvas, helped by Spirit and the gentle slope in the floor.
It was a very meditative process.
This fiery flow represents the energy, power, passion, and creativity of a new dawn (rebirth & renewal).
The Tree of Life
It took several more hours for that base coat to dry once the colours had stopped running, so I had time to work the design on paper before transferring it onto the canvas.
This painting was sparked by seeing a tall half-circled Celtic-style tree design on a castle wall in the Lord of the Rings movie. I’d gasped in awe when I spotted its simplicity and beauty in the background.
I purposefully didn’t take a picture, so that I wouldn’t be tempted to copy it. But its tall thin dimensions perfectly matched this 18″ x 36″ canvas I had been eyeing in the studio. I’d never painted a really tall tree with a small top before.
Interestingly enough, it wasn’t until the painting was finished that I recognized it as a mandala tree. Fun!
Do you see the iridescent dome shaped designs in the large outer layer of the tree top? I almost filled them in with more designs, but I’m so glad I listened to my intuition and left them empty. They’re two-way portals – for prayers to go out and Divine Love to come in. They offer a violet filter through which to change our paradigms, perceptions – and to see Truth.
The Peacock
There was also a pumpkin – perhaps inspired by the fact it was Thanksgiving weekend – but I didn’t include that in the final design.
I love peacocks! I so enjoyed painting one years ago, and its energy was strongly present in a Soul Energy Portrait I painted for a client last year. I welcomed the opportunity to work with it again. After all, they’re gorgeous and transformative!
Peacocks are thought of as the modern version of the phoenix – itself a powerful symbol of transformation.
But what most impresses me about them is their ability to eat poisonous snakes and plants and transform these toxins into nourishment. What a perfect symbol for transforming one’s challenges into beauty.
Add to that its association with Kwan-Yin, goddess of compassion, and what’s not to love?
I had to use a bit of this compassion on myself. My original peacock design had a much stronger S-curve, which is so visually appealing. But once I got into the paint, I kept adding and adding to the fullness of the tail and so I lost some of that original intention. Still, I love it!
When you let go of what you think things should be, it’s easier to accept what is.
The Spiral
So I decided to add an element – that’s when the triangle with a spiral appeared in my mind’s eye.
This symbol and string of dots represents being embraced by Source Energy as we do the work of being human – being constantly reborn of compassion … for ourselves and others.
It’s the work of bringing the human back into Spirit.
May gazing at “Reborn into Compassion” raise your vibration to help you make the necessary changes in your life so that you too can live more aligned with your Truth.

Are you ready to take the leap?
/in Guided Meditations, Paintings“Leap” (10″ x 10″) – SOLD
Happy New Year Dear One!
“Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities.”
― Gloria Steinem
It’s a new year! It’s bound to be different than last year, but how?
That’s up to you!
Let your imagination take you into the realm of limitless possibilities.
Are you ready to take the leap to explore new interests, new groups, new restaurants, new sports, new destinations? How about new ways of being and doing in your existing relationships, jobs, self-talk, etc.?
What changes would you like to see in these areas of your life?
Or…
How would you like to feel in each of these areas? Write your answers down.
As we transition into a new year, ask your heart / intuition what it wants. Brainstorm, daydream, or do one of my favourites exercises- an intuitive vision board.
“Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing. Believe in yourself. And believe that there is a loving Source – a Sower of Dreams – just waiting to be asked to help you make your dreams come true.” ~Sarah Ban Breathnach
Then take the leap – follow through with inspired action. This may be one tiny step at a time or by taking a leap of faith.
The important thing is that you’re moving in the direction of your dreams and desires.
“We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.”
― Henry David Thoreau
It’s a new year. A blank canvas. Are you ready to take the leap?
As a bonus gift, enjoy this 42-minute creative visualization meditation I channeled a couple of years ago. Allow it to raise your vibration and spark your intuition.

#1 – Reflection
Things are looking up!
You’ve been busy doing the groundwork and your magic is shining all around you.
Can you see it?
Stop the busy-ness for a few minutes and contemplate how your radiance is lighting up your inner and outer space. Where can you see the reflections of both your being and doing?
As an instrument of God’s love (or whatever term you’re comfortable with), you’re helping spread the Light (yours as a reflection of the Creator’s).
Bask in the luminosity of your efforts and what they’ve inspired in others.
As you witness the effects of your own Light, you fuel your flame and spark new ideas of how to brighten your days and those of others.
Your stepping stone rests in your recognizing your own value. If you don’t value yourself, no one else will. To make a difference in the world, you need to own your power and its Source, whatever you call it.
You’re here to illuminate. You’re already doing it. Acknowledge your role as a microcosm of the divine and don’t be afraid to shine! We need it. We love it! We’re grateful for it!

#2 – Remembering
What task, project, or goal do you need help with?
If you’ve picked this photo, your stepping stone lies in the recesses of your mind.
Trust that you have what you need. You just have to remember what that is and dig it out of your tool box to put it to good use.
Sometimes, we busy ourselves with yet another course, book, or more research. Is that really necessary?
You already know the person you need to contact to help you with your project. You already have the resources or skills necessary to achieve your goals.
For example, if you’re looking to discover your purpose in life, look to your past to see what brought you the greatest joy growing up.
If you’re looking to make good investments, reconnect with a blogger you used to follow or seek the advice of an expert you once heard about in your social or professional circles.
If you’re having issues in your relationship with your dog, look at the book that’s already on your shelf, connect with that behavioural therapist whose card is in your desk, or re-watch a TV show that matched your philosophy.
Your memory is like a filing cabinet filled with valuable information and resources.
But don’t waste time digging in too deep. Ask your guardian angel for help remembering. Spend a few moments staying open to the information being pulled out for you. If it doesn’t come up right away, go on to other tasks and it’ll likely pop out on its own or in a dream.

#3 – Treasures
You are so abundant!
By focusing on what you already have, you’re opening yourself to the energy flow of even greater abundance.
Your stepping stone to true happiness lies in your gratefulness for the treasures in your life.
Take out a piece of paper and pen and start listing your answers to these questions.
Where attention goes, energy flows.
If you focus your attention on your own treasure chest, it’ll magically seem fuller and keep on filling.
Enjoy the process!

#4 – Timeless
Were you slapped on the wrist for daydreaming in school? Forgive your teacher for not recognizing the very important work you may have been doing. It’s possible that you were laying the foundation stone to a great invention, creative project, or solution to a problem.
It’s too bad that some of our educational and social systems take away people’s power by discouraging imagination. Your stepping stone is in reclaiming this gift, your key to freedom.
Do you give yourself the time and space to play with your imagination?
It’s your key to creativity and a window into infinite inner and outer worlds. It’s never a waste of time. As one of the 3 levels of Higher Knowledge, it’s the gateway to inspiration and intuition.
So nurture your imagination. Learn to relax. Lose track of time. Play. Be in the free flow of the moment. Get creative.

#1 – Vibrations
Absolutely everything is pure energy vibrating at different frequencies: people, plants, objects, thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and even consciousness!
These aren’t only spiritual concepts, but quantum physics ones as well.
As a spiritual being here on earth to have a human experience, you’re bound to vibrate at various frequencies during your life, your chapters, your days and even your minutes.
If you’ve picked this photo, you’re asked to pay attention to how well you’re doing in your role as a vibration manager. Are you working the Law of Vibration to your advantage?
Your circumstances will help you figure that out. What you’re living now is the result of your past frequencies. Your future will be the result of your current ones.
By vibrating at a certain frequency, through the power of your emotions, you attract what is also vibrating at that same frequency. If you want better experiences, you need to send out better vibes.
Doing what you love, what inspires love, and brings you joy will raise your vibration. What comes to heart when you read this? Add more of it to your life to open up brighter avenues.
Start your day consciously programming your vibration. Abraham (channeled by Esther Hicks) describes 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.
Abraham also explains that you have 17 seconds after a negative thought to get off that vibration frequency before it sticks. So stay conscious of your thoughts and feelings during the day. If you feel yourself spiralling downwards, do something quick to change your frequency. Look at your baby’s photo, put on your favourite song, hug a tree, or tell yourself “cancel” and change your thoughts.
Your angels are your vibrational bridge to the pure loving essence of Source. Ask them for help. They’ll always support your efforts to live at a higher vibration.

#2 – Grace
Success in all areas of your life is often the result of hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, and sacrifice. This is true.
It’s also true that success is the result of loving what you do or what you’re learning to do.
If you’ve picked this photo, you already know this.
Here, you’re invited to remember that success also includes knowing when to let go, take breaks, and care for yourself.
You can’t do this if you’re operating from a strictly left-brain action-oriented approach. You need to reconnect to your intuitive right brain to make sure the energy you’re investing is going in the right direction.
Sure, there are times when you need to push yourself hard. But there are also times when you need to recharge your batteries in nourishing ways. Burn out won’t serve you or your projects.
Are you determined to reach your goals through blood, sweat, and tears? Or can you invite more ease and grace into your process? It’s time to branch out in your approach to success.
Go ahead. Relax in nature to gain greater perspective. Breathe deeply of the forest’s balm. Oxygen is your Life Force and your connection to Spirit. You’ll achieve much greater success in life if you’re in tune to your your intuition, your guidance, your essence.
Let the trees sweep away your stress and tension. These are like static on your line of communication with your heart. Then ask your Self and your team of Divine Helpers what’s needed right now.
Achieving success through inspired action, which comes from being connected to your inner guidance, is a lot more effective than trying to force things to happen through purely left-brain thinking and planning.
So go ahead, book an essential oil massage, relax among the trees, and make sure you’re getting enough sleep. You deserve it. And so do your projects.

#3 – One Step At A Time
What do you really want in life?
Is it better health, a loving partnership, a successful business venture, to move to a warmer climate, a degree, more time with your family, to let go of limiting beliefs?
If you’ve picked this photo, you’re invited to bring your soul callings back to mind and to heart.
Are you being distracted by alls sorts of demands and temptations?
Do you find it difficult to say “no” to invitations and requests that take you away from your priorities?
Have you lost faith in your ability to manifest what it is you truly want?
Know that achieving your goals will happen one inspired step at a time. That’s the Law of Action.
So enjoy the scenery, but don’t branch out to explore the many paths around you simply because they’re there. Stay on track – your track.
Keep your vision in mind and at heart. Writing a vision statement and repeating it every day can help.
Saying “no” is also a gift to your Self and to those making the requests. Being at a party or a member of some committee when you’d rather be elsewhere won’t be of benefit to anyone.
The Law of Action is not about aimless busy-ness. It’s about the continuous process of tuning in, communicating to the Universe, staying open and receptive, and following through on guidance. It’s this kind of action that creates the necessary momentum to manifest your vision.
So take the steps, open the doors, collect the right tools, send your signals to the Universe, allow, receive, and manifest your dreams.
And remember … no concert pianist started by playing a perfect sonata. Be gentle on yourself as you walk your Path, one step at a time.

Truth & Transformation – the painting
/in PaintingsPracticing balancing poses in yoga, such as the tree pose, helps you gain both physical and mental steadiness and poise. Without calmness of mind, focus, and concentration, it’s really hard to do. As such, it’s a good barometer of your internal reality. Plus it helps stretch, tone, and strengthen you. Try it.
I never tire of painting the yoga pose. And when my painting “Happy” found a good home before hanging my work at Embody Yoga and Moksha Yoga St. John’s, I decided to paint another. And just this weekend, “Truth & Transformation” found a new home too. Blessed be!
Truth & Transformation

It’s about shining your Light in your own life to be strong and free while gracing the world with your very being.
That’s what Truth & Transformation is all about.
In its layers, you’ll find

#1 – Life
Have you seen the movie “What the Bleep Do We Know?”
There’s a scene featuring Dr. Emoto’s work that had a profound impact on the way I talk to myself.
It showed how positive words, prayers and music transformed distilled water into beautiful water crystals when frozen. On the other hand, negative words created disfigured crystals.
If 90% of your body is water, what are your words and thoughts doing to you? What do you see and say when you look in the mirror?
Words and thoughts are energy. There’s a relationship between your health on all levels and your self-perception.
So take a few minutes and truly look at yourself in the mirror through the eyes of your soul. Then shower yourself with love. If habitual criticisms creep up, gently smile and love yourself even more.
Then expand from there. Who are you thinking or talking about negatively – to their face, behind their back or in the “privacy” of your own mind?
You’re a powerful being. Let your love flow, and know that it’s transforming the world for the Highest Good of the planet.

#2 – Renewal
Do you think of yourself as small in the big scheme of things?
It’s true you’re one of 7 billion people on the planet.
It’d be easy to lose you if you were alone in the Rocky Mountains or in the crowds of downtown Tokyo.
But that doesn’t mean you’re not making a huge difference. The very fact you were born has affected countless lives.
Whether in your personal or professional life, your actions and ways of being are constantly transforming the realities of those around you.
Your words may have comforted a friend. Your smile to a stranger may have saved his life. Your purchase may have kept a budding entrepreneur afloat. Your idea may have inspired others. Your self-expression may have brought joy, love, laughter, beauty into the world.
Can you begin to fathom how different the world would be if you’d never been born? What would your version of the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” look like?
Knowing this is a powerful motivator to continue doing and being what nourishes your soul and therefore feeds others.
Take a few minutes to reflect on how your life has made a difference from childhood on.
When you acknowledge and appreciate your own worth, you add energy to your step.
If you’re ever feeling complacent or wondering if your efforts are worthwhile, remember that you’re magnificent in the eyes of the Creator and the hearts of so many you’ve met on your Path.
So renew your faith in yourself. If you’re here, it’s for a reason. How will you choose to make a difference today?

#3 – Namaste
“(A)ll things appear and disappear because of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else. Wherever there is light, there is shadow; wherever there is length, there is shortness; wherever there is white, there is black.”
The Teachings Of Buddha, by Bukkyo Dendo Kyonkai
Do you believe that everyone you encounter is both a mirror and a teacher?
Isn’t it wonderful when your love is reflected back at you in the pleasantness of your of perceptions and judgments of others?
How great is it when you can learn the lessons they offer with ease and grace?
But some people are more like petty tyrants. They have the uncanny ability to irritate and annoy you no matter what they say or do. Do you have anyone like this in your life now?
These people torment you. It seems impossible not to take what they say or do personally.
They bring you face to face with your limiting beliefs, thoughts, and emotional reactions in a way that forces you do something.
The question is what. You have a choice. You can use your energy to lash out or to change whatever it is inside you that has disconnected you to your own peace.
How different would your life be if you saw everyone as a gift. By unwrapping that gift, you open yourself up to lessons of growth and love, including the self-love necessary to step away from abusive relationships.
Be grateful for your petty tyrants. Observe how they affect you and use that information to love yourself and others more deeply – even your petty tyrants. They probably need it most of all…
By changing yourself, you change the world.
“Namaste” – the Spirit in me honours the Spirit in you.

#4 – Mystical Realm
Why do you think you were attracted to this image?
Was it because of the contrast between light and dark?
Artists and designers know that the eye is drawn to where there’s the greatest contrast.
It’s the same in life. It’s from contrast that you create focus for your intentions and attention.
We live in a world of contrast to help us choose.
When you’re experiencing something you don’t want, you become more aware of what it is you do want. This creates the momentum to manifest that in your life.
Sure, it’d be wonderful if your Light were constantly glowing at full force into the world. That’s enlightenment. But if you’re like me, you’re not there yet.
So for now, appreciate the role that contrast has in this mystical realm called life.
Are you more aware of your good days because of your “bad” days?
Light against dark and dark against light. It’s beautiful. It’s necessary. It draws you in so that it can reflect right back at you.
Take a look at your life. What dark parts of your history have gifted you with the ability to shine your Light in your uniquely beautiful way today?
Then keep on shining! You’re radiant!
