Just appreciating beauty...

Kinda like a bear...

I feel like a bear.

Do you feel like a bear?

Work in progress but had to share these photos because I'm just over the moon to have a proper camera to share high quality images of my work 😍

I spend so much time with my paintings so finally they have the picture quality they deserve πŸ“Έ

What happens when we turn our awareness in on itself?

This was done with some spare paint, and I never really thought about it again for 2 years. But when I rediscovered it tucked away with other unfinished pieces, I instantly fell inlove and framed it.

Sometimes we don't appreciate beauty until our perception shifts.

A shot of my favourite area in Wales from 3 years ago πŸ“·

18/12/2023

A product of spare paint which has turned out to be one of my guilty pleasures...

And I say guilty pleasure because I'm such a small, intricate detail kinda gal, but this was done in literally 3 mins, and now its famed on my wall.

I love the symbolism which is ever changing.

What I saw was an elders eye, and the colours reminded me of the element of fire...

But now after watching a video on the symbolism of the eye of Sauren in Lord of the Rings, that's what I see.

Upcoming ceremony in Bromsgrove, Thursday 16th November

Voice Activation & exploration assisted with the powers and activations of Cacao & marshmallow root

Step into your authentic self, be witnessed, be heard. When we speak out truth we unlock our deepest, most potent potential. Aligning with our highest, or as I've come to know it, favourite self and path.

In death we find nourishment

Familiarising with the blessings of the old falling away

of letting go of what no longer serves

Trusting that what is meant to be will come naturally

And what doesn't serve will fall away

as the identification with the mind losens it's grip

Settling into the body to allow consciousness to still

To see the reflections

To be one with spirit

Then to forget

and do it all over again

Oooofph, a bit of cacao ASMR don't mind if I do πŸ€€πŸ‘‚πŸ«

I was going to put music over this but mm mm mmmm

the sounds are as delicious as the cacao

I've had a lot of people ask me where I get my cacao and how to prepare it, so here's a cute little step by step video. See below for written instructions ✍

I'm work with as a distributor of their cacao. Deya, a dear sister and teacher, works with 4 families in Ecuador. Deya guarantees to buy the entire crop no matter how much or how little is grown, takes a % of each purchase to go direct to the farmers to help them to invest in themselves to become more self sufficient, and unlike commercial cocoa production, the trees are honoured once they are past their most productive age (40 years).

For me this is vital as we take so much from these sacred trees, giving them the promise to live out the rest of their years in peace is a fair trade i think.

Deya is also the first person I ever had a cacao ceremony with, and her cacao was just following me around to other cacao ceremonies I attended. I took the hints from the universe and connected with her to find out she runs a cacao facilitator course & retreat.

Step by step:

β™‘Choose your dosage and finely chop it
β€’15g is a great starter amount
β€’all the way up 45g

β™‘brings some water to the boil (I like to use half plant milk half water but traditionally its made with just water) and then take it off the heat

β™‘add in sweetener of choice
β€’I used coconut sugar because I've run out of honey
β€’you can experiment with all kinds of things, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, vanilla, I've used rosehip and elderberry syrups and its was just divine.

β™‘use a whisk to give it a good mix

β™‘pour into your favourite mug, the higher you pour the better bubbles you get 😍

β™‘happy jigg when you drink it cuz it tastes soo good

There are no mistakes in creativity 🎨

When we trust that if our 'f**k ups' are just an encouragement to step out of our comfort zone, to transform our work into something even more incredible than originally planned.

Here, I accidentally dropped some black paint on the background I worked hard on, and I hadn't noticed until it had dried.

In the past I would be so upset and feel like the piece was ruined.

Now, I see it as an opportunity to trust my process and just build around the 'mistake'.

It's an opportunity for growth.

That is what we keep asking for after all, isn't it?

Part 1/2: the process of creating "purpose in pain; in pleasure"

This piece has been birthed from intense pain, mixed in with intense pleasure. I've never had an image come to me so strongly and so clearly as this one. I've obviously had to fill in the more minute details but I knew there was a woman in this pose, with a moon behind her and 3 animals below, one above. Just had to figure out what animals and what the hell she was holding!

This is a powerful transition and I love the fact I will have this piece to remind me that I handle these painful life changes with such grace and strength.

There were moments with this piece I just broke into dance, broke down into tears, stared blankly into space, felt joy and excitement, and then despair and hopelessness.. This seems to be my therapy.

Photos from Earth to Ersa's post 01/01/2023

When we create, we channel energy, frequency.

That frequency can be transferred and felt in the most curious of ways.

The whole time I was creating this piece for my beautiful friend Megan (aka Fyko), all I could hear was her music... fully bopping along silently to it in my head as I sat painting.

I love Fyko's creative expression so much! The looks she creates are so inventive and inspiring, I give a huge credit to her for coming back into my outward creative expression.

She's so beautiful (inside and out) so obviously I wanted to draw her just as a bit of practice, and suddenly, a whole new style of creating was unlocked.

This is far from my usual style of painting, which has given me a wider perspective of what 'channelling' truly means.

My brother commented on one of the bear paintings I did recently (which I haven't finished) and not so subtly mentioned how he would love a painting of a bear in the woods. My own spin in that, even put his star sign in the sky πŸ₯°

The fact this painting was purely for him was so inspiring, I normally just create to channel excess energy/as a form of meditation.

I'm inspired to create commissioned pieces now, so if you've got any idea you'd like me to experiment with, let me know! πŸ₯°

When I was asked what the name of this piece was, I contemplated for just a moment before the name Freya presented itself. So obviously googled what the name Freya means..

'Derived from the name Freyja, it means β€œa noble woman.”

It is the name of the Norse goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. She was a deity who practiced a form of magical arts and divination that allowed practitioners to see and change the future. Freya was also ruler over the meadow where she received slain heroes of the battlefield.'

So, I present to you...

"Freya"

I was channeling energy from my sacral chakra for this, can you tell by the orange?!

MOTHER EARTH GIVES YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED, EXACTLY WHEN YOU NEED IT πŸπŸŒπŸŒ™

The seasons bring us different vegetables, fruits, berries, plants... all of which, serve a specific purpose.

Each plant provides us with essential compounds to help us get through the season ahead. Berries with their immune boosting properties, and plants such as nettle to combat hay fever.

Autumn is my favourite time of year for foraging simply for the abundance of berries - it’s a time for jams, syrups, sweets, teas, and infusions galore.

Rose hips are the fruit of the Dog Rose (Rosa Canina) and can be picked anytime between September all the way through to January if we are lucky! Sweetest if picked after a frost though... you can put them into the freezer to imitate a frost though if you don't want to wait πŸ˜‰

Some benefits of including Rose Hips in your diet:
- anti-inflammatory & pain relieving (I live with RA so anything extra to help assist the relief of the symptoms is much appreciated!)
- high in antioxidants
- fantastic sources of vitamin C, B and A
- contains pectin, great for detoxification of the Kidneys (also something I am conscious of right now)
- can help maintain a healthy cardiovascular system & lower blood pressure

Simply dry whole to store for up to a year (after this time it really does loose majority of its medicinal benefits) to use as a immune boosting tea. Or get creative and make jams, ketchups, sweets, infused vinegars... so many possibilities!!

Thinking about posting some recipes on here/my website... watch this space I guess!

Partical Solar Eclipse Cacao Ceremony πŸŒ‘πŸ”†

Why are we doing a cacao ceremony on a particular solar eclipse?
β€’ one of the most intense, ungrounded chaotic times of the year for us but it also holds incredible transformative power
β€’ it is thought that the viel is thinner at this time, so pairing this with cacao will assist us in accessing these hidden parts our psyche, revealing the gifts we hold
β€’ this can be a time where our paths can be radically altered, but we can use this time consciously to create the desired outcome of our lives

What is Cacao?
β€’ a heart opening plant medicine, containing zinc, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, copper and iron which are all benefiticial for the cardiovascular system (scientific proof for the energetic explanation of heart opening πŸ˜‰) and is a natural anti-inflammatory
β€’ it also helps the body release dopamine, endorphins and the bliss molecule, Anandamide. This helps us go deeper into our mind, body and spirit during ceremony πŸ₯°

These are just 2 of the many benefits of drinking cereminial grade Cacao!

Look forward to having you join myself and Callum Shaw for a traditional cacao ceremony, astrology talk and some deep diving into ourselves through movement & meditation ❀

A beautiful photo from a very hard moment this morning.

The past few days have been very intense and uncomfortable in our relationship, this morning felt especially difficult. Neither of us were able to see the others perspective and the communication wasn't working.

So, I suggested we have a cacao ceremony together and set intentions. The decided intention was 'to bring our awareness to where we are being unconscious'

We each said 3 things we were grateful for in the other person, 3 things we believe the other person is good at, 3 things we individually could do better, and the question was asked "where am I not meeting your needs"

With the assistance of this heart opening medicine, instead of coming from a place of hurt, we were able to come from a place of love.

A hug and a kiss, and we go our seperate ways for the day to let the vibrations settle.

Gratitude is powerful, acknowledgment is essential, love is all there is.

REST & RELEASE WITH CACAO πŸ«β˜• join us for an evening of drinking Cacao mixed with homemade elderberry syrup, relaxation, meditation and reiki. Friday 14th October at Birmingham Buddhist Center πŸ‚πŸ

First of all what is Cacao?! Well, everyone knows chocolate right? Yep, made from cacao. And why is it chocolate is known all around the world? 🍫 well put simply, it makes us feel goooood!

Cocoa is the ingredient we are more familiar with as the main ingredient for chocolate. Cocoa is just Cacao roasted at high temperatures and processed heavily, which destroys a lot of the beautiful medicinal qualities.

When we drink ceremonial grade Cacao, we get the full goodness and heart opening qualities of this beautiful plant. Since I started drinking Cacao I started to see huge shifts in my physical body, my mental processing, my mood, and so much more. I knew after 3 days of drinking Cacao I wanted to work with her to share her with as many people as I could.

I've been studying with Deya from CacaoAmor on her amazing course, which I reccomend to anyone even if you don't want to work with Cacao, Thriving in your allignment - says it in the name... honestly I may write a post just about this course its been life changing.

See posted for contact details or drop me a message on here if you'd like to know more, because I could talk for hours about Cacao but trying to keep this short and sweet!❀
Much love ❀

"Mother to Mother Earth"

Wow.

It's hard to believe I'm actually posting this, its been 10 months since I had an intense journey into myself, which ultimately inspired this piece.

This is me trying to put what I experienced that night into a visual representation.

Back story - I experienced a miscarriage in my teens and the whole experience, leading to, during and after, left quite a scar in my psyche... which like most traumas, we tend to supress.

That night I got to break through all the bu****it, all the shame and guilt surrounding the whole pregnancy. I was meditating during the 2nd night and this bright geometric cage appeared infront of me. There was a door which was slightly open, and within was this tiny little baby in a meadow of wild flowers. I initially rejected it and said to myself "no, I dealt with this pain last night", which I did but this wasnt asking me to experience the pain... this was asking me to accept and let go.

So I picked the baby up and held it close to my chest; such joy and love! I got to experience motherhood in this moment and I'm so grateful. Then I felt Mother Earth beneath me, calling me to release the child to her with the acknowledgement of "give me your pain, I can transform it".

Now, as I write this, tears are filling my eyes, joy radiates from my heart and this gratitude I feel is boundless. I came into this world with a mission, and that was to FEEL everything so I may be of service to others.

A special mention to my teacher and friend, , for, quite literally, holding me in that space whilst I release and holding my hand ever since. Gong Goddess!

Prints will be available on my website soon, for now if you'd like a print please DM me x
