What are the highlights of your week

How do you change emotional gears

Sunday … another week behind you! Yes you survived the official media lies, the alternative media investigative journalism, the many hours of mindless social media interaction or voyeurism , the gloomy and wet weather, the oh so moody bosses and forever unstable home environment.

Well dear reader it is time to celebrate!

What was the best thing that happened this week?

Chantress Seba

Let s think …yes for me it was coming across Chantress Seba snd thanks to her healing sounds, being able to sleep without nightmares, a deep healing sleep!

80% of us fabulous creatures living in the western world struggle with sleep! See if her sounds coming from a different dimension bring healing to you. Listen to it during the day as well. It is a gift to the world! Some people have a mission in life, a calling and Chantress Seba found hers.

What else happened? Well many things but something good?

Lilac

Lilac! Lilac is in full bloom in my part of the world and the curious one within decided to make the lilac tincture I wanted to do last year but the season was already over when I woke up to the idea.

So in one of those intermezzo of clear sky my steps took me to a lilac bush, a pale violet one. The scent reminded me of spring days in Bucharest! At the time, in the older parts of the town, the ones I love and who live in my memory - full of history of a slow way of living, of late 1800 and early 1900’s, of intense intellectual circles debating the topics of the day, of taste and refinement, of authors, composers, musicians who are forever etched in my soul and in the collective memory - lilac was a constant feature. Not to worry it is hardly the case nowadays as many such areas are now full of tall buildings, an assault to the eye, to the earth… but this is not a topic for today..

So there we are making lilac tincture - another highlight of my week! What do you need? Grab your piece of paper and start writing

• lilac flowers

• Vodka

• jar

That’s it? Yep! That s it!

Take the jar, fill in 2/3 with lilac flowers, add vodka (the stronger the better), put the lid on and shake! Find a dark place, place it there and shake the jar daily for the next 2 weeks!

Next? Patience - 6 weeks later it’s done! Why do it? Lots of reason really … research 🌸🌺🌜you will be amazed and guess what? You can do it!

Drawing is the third one. I ve been drawing on and off for a few good years.

You see I was and still am not attracted by drawing a … beautiful drawing! what do I mean by this? You will not find me in front of the piece of paper trying to paint a horse or a house or a portrait. Correction! You will not find me trying to draw from real images, real life and producing an authentic interpretation of it all! It will be authentic but my kinda authentic!

I am drawing from within! I am drawing what wants to come, in the shape it wants to come! I am drawing intuitively and it matches my intuitive approach to painting and even to writing! Why? I don t know!

I have theories as to why this is the approach I am taking but certainty? Nope!

Let me confess! I went through … dry times, times when I was not even able to take a pen in my hand! Despair was too prominent and everything was numb including my inner voice.

So when I see drawings on my page, whatever this is …… it s OK help is here, the guardian angels are whispering again!

I also felt drawn to picking up one of my workbooks again and doing a bit of drawing, it is actually continuing an existing drawing and rounding the corners - one of my older ideas but surprisingly satisfying to do even now a few years later. Enjoyable moments of peace.

It is Sunday morning, a beautiful day outside and .. yes I will take my workbook, juicy pens and find a peaceful spot to step into my healing circle!

What are your creative endeavours I wonder? How do you escape the madness of our world?

I will leave you in good hands … Chantress Seba ….
