Each mark began in stillness.
Each line carried a whisper.
As I drew, the woman began to emerge from quiet listening.
There’s a moment when form becomes more than shape… when it begins to feel alive.
That’s the moment I wait for. #Spiritchat #KindledConnection #art #drawing #portrait

Todays' #art project updates. First, started my new #drawing (simple sketch for now) assignment with white charcoal and eventually, white China marker on 18x24 inch mixed media paper. Finished drawing of rose in graphite. And more progress made on 'Van Gogh' style #painting. #spiritchat

A8) Mind/body connection (and heart/soul) or thoughts and feelings. Establishing proper boundaries can help when needed. (Knowing where you end and others begin). Changing what can be changed. i.e. work out of alignment with highest good? Find different work, etc. #spiritchat
Q8. To ‘unify the fragments’ in our inner world, what part(s) of our life(style) may we need to focus on...? Do consider. #Spiritchat

This is beautiful... yes... we have no idea of the depth and breadth of the healing power of the heart 💙 🙏🏽 #Spiritchat
A6: #spiritchat I think it can become whole again. The unified fragments are stronger and wiser by the scars holding them together.

A7) For me, I need to find space where I am alone with stillness, connecting with my breath in order to be present and aware of my body, and often a combination of music, favorite books, and activities I enjoy such as painting or playing piano. #spiritchat
Q7. Instant (but temporary) ‘unification’ or healing can be felt when we connect with... your top three?! Do share. #Spiritchat

Q5. When the heart feels unified with the mind... what can (or has) become possible for you, your body... Do share. #Spiritchat

A6) Interesting question. I'm not sure of the correct answer. I can only say that what comes to mind is trauma. When someone experiences trauma, that person's entire nervous system CHANGES. So in that sense, one cannot return to original wholeness, but a different wholeness. #spiritchat
Q6. What has been fragmented may be unified - and yet it may rarely become ‘whole’ again... agree or disagree? #wholeness #unification #Spiritchat

A4) I would say the first step to re-unification is awareness and mindfulness. i.e. For a dissociated person, they have to become mindfully present in order to 'return' to their own body. Breathing meditation is one method and one can begin noticing the sensations in the body. #spiritchat

A2. A hurried world. Stress. Many interests. Work life imbalances. There are lots of reasons we feel fragmented. #SpiritChat

A2 disunity is caused by people pleasing and not honoring our boundaries #spiritchat
Q2. What are some elementary causes of disunity... among heart, body, mind (and soul)? #Spiritchat

A3) This topic also reminds me of compartmentalization. This is often how people can lead 'double lives'. As for this question, feeling detached from the body comes to mind. If we dissociate, we are no longer paying attention to what our body is trying to tell us. #spiritchat
Q3. One result of ‘lack of unity’ is fragmentation... what can/does happen if/when we keep ignoring the fragments(s)? #Spiritchat

A2) Trauma, some of it is taught such as socially acceptable lies when we say 'I'm fine' even when you are dying inside, when people are forced to do things that go against their heart such as soldiers in war, or work demands, etc. #spiritchat

A1) It reminds me of something I've shared here in the past. How sometimes in life I will feel so scattered from work or busyness, that I feel like I've left parts of myself everywhere I went, and how I need time to regather those parts of myself to become whole again. #spiritchat
Let us begin. Q1. “Unifying the Fragments ” ~ what part of this phrase speaks to you, your heart, in this moment... #Spiritchat

Started two new art projects today: First, the start of a realism #drawing in graphite. (on 18×24-inch newsprint) Second, stated a new mark making #painting in the style of Van Gogh. First time trying this style of painting. 16×20-inch canvas painted in black acrylic as the base layer.

Latest update on realism oil painting. The area I struggled the most with was achieving a very thin, controlled line with the paintbrush. However, it was an enjoyable exercise and a nice break from painting on the larger 16×20-inch canvas as this was only 8×10 in size. #spiritchat #art #painting

Rephrasing Q7. To forget what you need to forget, so that the heart grows lighter... any practices that have helped you? #remembrance #Spiritchat
Q7. Memory (loss) happens... any practices that have helped you slow down (or speed up?!) the process for certain ‘events’... #remembrance #Spiritchat

A9) Have the courage to truly see others. Look them in the eye. NOTICE their circumstances. Do what you CAN for others. (not what you can't) Challenging in todays' busy world. #spiritchat
Final Q9. To those who are struggling to live, to be seen, to be remembered... what can we do for them? Namaste. #Spiritchat
