Sunset in the Dreamtime – painting your happy place

Where is your happy place?

If you asked me, I just might tell you about my sunset kayak on the Mobile canal on the Irish Loop of Newfoundland with my friends Tina White & Kerri Best (featured in the video above).

I rarely paint what I see with my eyes open. I do, however, paint what I feel. And my experience there was multi-dimensional!

The painting “Sunset in the Dreamtime” is the colour, texture, and enhanced crystal energy of a moment in time – a happy place. Can you feel its energy?

The space between the canvases represent that time between waking moments when you re-emerge into Spirit – your daily reset button. It also acts as an altar to keep / energize the stones you sleep with. This past year, an amethyst and rose quartz crystal have been my bedmates.

According to Abraham Hicks, when you fall asleep after a day of feeling good, in alignment with your Higher Self, you’ll glide easily into pleasant dreamtime before re-emerging into non-Physical. Your dreams are your transition there.

“All dreams are your conscious interpretation of the vibrational contenance that you’ve been practicing lately.”

So spend time in appreciation, beauty, and love, every day to manifest more of the same in your dreams – your daily gateway to re-connecting with Spirit.

Once there, we all get to hit the reset button. Isn’t that comforting?!

The trick is to then carry that alignment found when our consciousness is focused on the non-physical back into waking life. Abraham Hicks talks of the importance of those first 17 seconds upon waking – the time it takes to set a vibration.

Visual cues such as a painting of your happy place can remind you to end and start your day with appreciation, creating high vibrational momentum for the journey forward.

So yes, enjoy your reset time in that sacred space of sleep. But also focus your attention on what raises your vibration during the day to ensure a smoother transition into sleep and a happier, healthier waking life.

As Abraham Hicks says,

“You are Source Energy in a physical body…. You’re born with a guidance system that lets you know whether or not you’re allowing the energy that creates worlds to flow through you unfettered in full blown fashion, or if you’re pinching it off. So it’s important right now that you start to care about how you feel … in thoughts and actions.

My sunset kayak represented in “Sunset in the Dreamtime” was truly a feel-good blessing in my life. Painting my happy place and seeing it every time I walk by it in my studio helps to keep me in my inner happy place.

The labradorite that mimics the logo on the kayak energizes the piece. Labradorite is a powerful protector against negativity, raises consciousness and enhances intuition. The rose quartz is a stone of deep inner healing, harmony, peace and universal love.

Do you have something on your walls that reminds you to go to your happy place – both inwardly and outwardly?

If not, go ahead and create it or purchase an artist’s rendition that speaks to your heart & soul.
