#1 – Flow

As Abraham Hicks says, everything you want is downstream. So go downstream with ease and grace. Why bother fighting the current by paddling upstream?

Part 1:

There’s nothing quite like being in the flow.

Athletes and creatives call it being in the zone.

It’s that hyper-focused spiritual state of mind where time flies by and everything seems possible.

I feel it when I’m painting. I’m in such a state of bliss that meal times pass by. I can happily be at it for 16 hours in a row!

What do you enjoy so much that you can get happily lost in it? When do you feel most powerful and purposeful?

Your soul is calling you to add more of that in your life.

Part 2:

Are you in your own flow or dragging behind in the wake of others?

If you’ve picked this photograph, you’re being asked to contemplate if your life is on track – your track.

Sure, this may mean journeying with others on a common project or working for an organization that you believe in.

The question is whether your work and your life are aligned with your True Self: your values, your vision of the future, your natural strengths and preferences.

Is there something you’re doing or being that doesn’t feel like a good match anymore?

What small step or major decision can you take to redirect your energies so that you’re flowing with heart and soul on your Path to your Highest Good.

#2 – Listening

Get in touch with the essence of what your heart desires.

Then listen to your intuition as it guides you in often unexpected ways to getting what you want.

I was really looking forward to the experience of photographing fireworks in Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island as I stepped off an Alaskan cruise ship. Alas, all the crowds witnessed through their see-through umbrellas that evening was a smoke show. This made for pretty boring pictures.

But something told me to go upstairs and sit in the front seat of our double decker bus on the way back to the ship. I was then inspired to photograph the traffic lights while the bus was in motion. Back onboard our ocean liner, I had a lot of fun creating my own fireworks show in Photoshop by layering photographs of the crowd and street lights.

I love this image! Creating it, however, meant accepting what was and staying open to its opportunities.

Are your thoughts and expectations at the root of your unhappiness in any area of your life? Are you limiting your experience by being stuck on the details rather than opening and connecting to the essence of what it is you desire?

Listen to your heart. What do you truly want? Ask the Universe to help you manifest it and get ready to recognize its essence when it magically appears in your life… even if it doesn’t look like what you thought it would.

#3 – Kwan Yin

In India, children are taught from the very beginning to bow down and touch the feet of their elders as a sign of respect. In return, they receive a blessing. You may have seen this in Bollywood movies…

When I photographed this sculpture of Kwan Yin surrounded in rose petals, I felt inspired to focus on her foot with much of the same feeling of respect.

Kwan Yin, whose Sanskrit name means “Born of the Lotus”, is loved in the temples of China, Korea, and Japan as the Mother Goddess of Compassion and Mercy.

She’s often seen as the eastern counterpart to Mother Mary and has made her way into the hearts of many around the world.

At the gateway to enlightenment, she turned back to earth to answer the cries of those in pain.

In addition to her mercy and compassion, she removes obstacles, erases past offences, and gives healing and spiritual graces – always meeting the true inner needs of the soul.

What rituals (prayer, meditation, chanting) do you feel moved to bring back or bring into your life to help nurture these qualities in you?

If you’ve picked this image, you’re being asked where you can help alleviate your own suffering and the suffering of others through love and compassion.

#4 – Garden of Light

Nourish your body, mind, and spirit with the life-giving energy of beauty.

Colour is light and you need light to survive. Don’t be afraid to add vibrant colours to your wardrobe or environment.

Surround yourself in beauty – whether it’s through a nature break, a visit to an art gallery, or browsing a photography website.

Have you ever felt moved to tears by beauty before? Have you experienced breathtaking awe? Close your eyes and reconnect to what gave you that feeling.

Yes, you need food, air, and water to survive. You also need beauty.

Make sure you’re exposed to what YOU feel is beautiful every day.

Choose your art and your wardrobe for how it makes you feel.

Then look into the mirror and keep looking deep into your eyes until those critical voices of your ego quieten down and you’re left in awe at the very miracle of your being.

Recognize your own beauty and the beauty of your creations. Let these shine in your garden of Light.
