Reconnect Lesson 1 – Every Sock a Prayer

Welcome to this first edition of my Reconnect to your True Self series inspired by the 11 paintings in my Re-Connection Collection. 

Each post will start with a video followed by a more elaborate text version for those who prefer.

Co-creating “Every Dot a Prayer” in my studio resulted not only in this award-winning painting, but in life-enhancing lessons for you too.

Are you ready to emerge more fully into Divine Oneness through connection to your intuition & community? 

As explained in a previous post on the creative process behind “Every Dot a Prayer”, the imagery that came forth from the intuitive & visionary processes led to my decision to make a sacred pilgrimage to Glastonbury last summer.

I’m sure glad I turned that intuition into action – what a trip!

Taking inspired action can only happen if you’re open to receiving Guidance.

You might have a specific goal in mind that you don’t know how to achieve. Or you just want to know what a next best step would be towards your Highest Good.

Either way, ask for Guidance and make space to listen. 

Your answers are within – provided by your heart and your connection to your Team of Divine Helpers, no matter what you call them.

The problem is that we live in a world of go-go-go with rocketing anxiety levels and blood pressure.

You first need to take the time to access that space of peace within yourself where wisdom lives.

Whether it’s carving 15 minutes out of your schedule every few days to contemplate nature or turning the TV off to meditate before sleep, you need to relax to hear the soft whispers of your soul.

What activities (or lack of activities) leads you to that peace?

Find what gives you that sense of inner peace, that purposeful silence. Reconnect with your True Self and with the ones who can see the big picture, who know the Way.

It might be through an activity like painting, knitting, gardening, solo nature walks, or washing the dishes. 

It could also be a more structured intuitive-listening activity like my guided visioning meditations. They”ll help you slow down and provide musical interlude in between the guided storyline to connect with guidance before taking inspired action.

Whatever it is, make regular quiet time for your Self. Write it in your schedule or do it 21 days in a row to engrain the habit.

If you never get off the hamster wheel, you’ll never relax enough to open the communication channels with your intuition.

Reconnecting to your True Self, means being able to hear what she/he has to say. So go ahead, make the time for Your Self. You need it! You’re worth it!

You may be an individualized expression of the Divine, but you’re also a part of the Divine Oneness.

If you feel lonely, disconnected from others and are suffering from your perceived separateness, this exercise can take care of that.

While making the first dots in “Every Dot a Prayer”, I started chanting and praying for loved ones – my family and friends.

I then extended that to situations that needed an extra layer of love & beauty through my energy-work and focused love.

That lasted a while, but nowhere near the days of dot-making I knew would be involved in this piece.

So for the first time, I asked my friends & fans on social media if anyone needed prayers.

Around 100 names came in – those asking for prayers and the first names of those they wanted me to pray for.

As I sat alone in my studio for very long hours, I became more connected to loved ones, strangers, society and Mother Earth than I had in a long while.

The more I prayed/chanted for others, the more connected and uplifted I felt. I’d reconnected to that part of myself that is connected to all that is. I’d tapped into the web of light & life that connects us all. What a feeling!

You don’t need to make dots to practice this. And you don’t need to do it for hours straight like I did that time.

Dedicate one of your repetitive activities to others. It could be:

• cleaning up toys
• folding socks
• a flow of yoga postures
• brushing your teeth
• putting away dishes
• mindful walking
• climbing steps

The possibilities are endless. What counts is that you get in the groove to remove the veil of separateness.

As you do so, send love or prayers (whatever you call it) to whomever you know could use your love.

Reconnecting to your True Self means reconnecting to that unconditional love that is generated by your heart & soul. 

So no matter if it’s “Every Dot a Prayer” or “Every Sock a Prayer”, be an active part of the Divine Oneness by nourishing it with your love. You’ll see… you won’t feel lonely after that!
