'Don't die with your music still in you' !

'Don't die with your music still in you' - I love this quote by Dr Wayne Dyer and was inspired to make an illustration expressing it. It means that you don't allow yourself to live any life other than the one you were born to live! May we all remember , remember, remember this... :-)

Summer Solstice 2014!

It was Summer Solstice a couple of days ago and I made a collage to celebrate the light! Summer Solstice is the mark of the first day of summer. On the day of the Summer Solstice the Sun appears to stand still in the sky. The Sun graced us with his presence and warmth for an extraordinary length of time on this day and it's the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. At the Summer Solstice, we're reminded of the light in our lives, that Mother Earth sustains. The Sun's rays allow Mother Earth to continue to do so. Everyone feels noticeably more vibrant in the summer months thanks to the extra rays of Sun beaming on us. Life is "in our face" at the Summer Solstice. Enjoy with gratitude!

Osho quote: 'Take life easily...'

I love this Osho quote... 'Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non seriously. Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul, and playfulness the greatest health' - Osho

Flower Power - Inspired by Seth Newman

Recently I was inspired to make a collage capturing how I feel sometimes after a Bioenergetics session with a bit of dancing on top :-) For a few months now I have been attending classes by a great teacher, Seth Newman, during which we do a series of Bioenergetics exercises designed to gently release trauma stored in the body. I have come to strongly believe, especially recently, that the way to 'freedom' is through our bodies and I love such methods which alchemically help one to grow via movement rather than thought :-) To find out more about dates and locations of upcoming classes you can join URUBU (You Are You Be You) - an umbrella under which Seth organises a variety of fabulously life enhancing events, including dances and sound healing meditations - on Meet Up here and 'Like' Urubu's Facebook Page.

Scorpio Full Moon 2014 - Inspired by Rebekah Shaman

Recently I have been following Rebekah Shaman's beautifully written and insightful Lunascopes. During the previous Full Moon in Scorpio (we are now under the influence of a Gemini Moon!) I was inspired to do this illustration :-) Rebekah says: 'This Scorpio full moon is the most passionate, sensual and illuminating moon of the year. It is under this moon that Buddha's birth, enlightenment, and death are celebrated. Take some time out over this moon to be with yourself to strengthen your commitment to your path.' You can read her full Scorpio New Moon Lunascope here. You can also read her current Gemini New Moon Lunascope here.
