I just completed my reiki level 1-2 practitioner training! I’m feeling call to receive and give. I’m so excited to bring energy healing to my community. Anyone interested in some distant reiki?

I haven't written a song in almost 10 years, nor have I revisited them. It has been terrifying to attempt an open mic since I blanked out the first time and ran off the stage after the first verse. But on Monday, something came through, I came home, and I wrote a song out of nowhere. It felt like a channelled message, I played until my fingers hurt, and I sang it with tears streaming down my face. Then I got a message from above (I call her source) and she told me to sing it at the memorial for a dear family friend tomorrow. Every part of me said, "I am not ready." I sat with my SPARK method and worked through my fears. 1. that it didn't feel SAFE to sing in front of others. 2. that PLAYING in front of people had to be perfect 3. that taking ACTION was attached to at least months of practice 4. In REFLECTION, I noticed that I was given an opportunity with a timeframe to step into this version of me I had always seen as myself....a musician. 5. that to KINDLE this fire, I need to lead with love. So I recorded the song, shared it with the world to overcome visibility (nothing bad will happen) and reach out to my community so that I can stand at the front of an auditorium and sing this song In honour of the people we have lost, we are never alone. *****So what are you scared of doing?***** I want to cheer you on, as you have all supported me.

As you know I haven’t been hosting sip and spark in the mornings, I wanted to share a bit about why. To find a more peaceful path since returning from my trip to Costa Rica with my family I have kept the no phones in the morning. So no screens… I have been spending more time walking outside (until the snow storm that happened yesterday) Where yesterday I took a photo shoot in the snow! … but the part I want to share is I started a painting with my daughter. One that just calms me. We listen together and we colour. What calms you everyday? I’m also collaborating with someone to bring to the community. Stay tuned.

@Donna-marie Gregersen If you feel comfortable sharing a little bit about yourself, that would help us get to know you. it is great to see you inside this beautiful community.

I just came back from a wedding! (that's where I have been hiding) When I came back, these lovely humans were waiting to come into the community. Let's give them a warm welcome! @Jayla R - I love your answer to what is soul art "of innermost spirit and essence!" I hope you share some of your clay art and paintings with us. @Arianna Escalante - I love that you are transmitting the beauty of art into life, and vice versa! I hope you will share some of your portraits, I am so interested in hyperrealism as it def takes a special eye for details. @Sandi Moore - Welcome to the community, we speak on art as a pillar of mental health and healing. I would love to hear more on what type of healing journey you are on so we can best support you. @Lenka Nguyễn - Regulating through art is a wonderful way to tap into ourselves and find safety in our practice, please feel free to share a bit about yourself.
