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

Recently, I published a blog post featuring an #artist I admire: Jimena Agra. Yesterday, I received a package from her in the mail that include three prints of some of her #paintings and a thank you card. I love them! #art #gratitude

Just started and finished an alla prima #painting with a 2-hour time limit. Alla prima means you paint it all in one sitting/session. #oils #art #KindledConnection

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
