Artists, you are influencing !

2011-02-26T09:23:00.000-08:00

When you create I think that you have the responsibility about what you share. If you feel bad and your creations are the romping of your negativity, it is so helpful to make it "for you", but not to share. This is my opinion. If you discharge your bad emotions in your creations, better to burn or recycled them after... then, when you are liberated and create with positivity, then you are ready to share it to the world.
This is good for all kind of creators: photographers, singers, writers, designers, etc.
For me, using art to share negativity is like making violence. You can influence the way people feel with your art. To help stopping violence, we have to share non-violence. When people feel good they don't want to be bad !

Let me share you my everyday meditation technique

2010-04-10T20:21:00.000-07:00

What I want to share with you is something I learned by myself by taking informations in many and many well being books, listening to people, etc...
I am absolutely convinced that doing this every day will improve your life.

Here it is:

Preparation: When you go to bed, lie on your back without pillow, palms towards the sky.
Breathe slowly, by the belly.
When you speak, you can do it with high voice or in your head. Speak to who or what you believe in, ex: Universe, God, your high conscience, higher beings, etc...

1. Say thanks for your day. Enumerate all the beautiful things that happened in the day. Focus on the positive points only. This will help you finding what make you happy in your life. So, thereafter, you will be carried to do what turns you happy.
2. Ask to be removed from all the negativity that could be in you. Imagine it going out of you by your feet and mouth, or maybe some higher beings are taking out your positivity with their hands? imagine...
3. Now that you are cleaned, surround yourself with a white protective light, imagine, pretend...
4. Ask now to recieve positive, Divine, curative energy. Feel this energy coming inside your body by your hands. Enjoy it like a gift. Say that this energy contribute to keep you happy and in a perfect health. Say that you are recieving this Divine energy in abundance and that you radiate (this is a way to share this positivity to the humanity)
5. While profiting of this energy, enumerate all the beautiful things that you want in your life. Say it using "I am ...". Ex: I am creative, I am loved, I am slim, I am motivated, ... At this stage, you will feel soooo good. Profit the more you can of this powerful condition, all your being profits from it !
6. Have a little interview with your cells by speaking directly to them. Say that you command them to be healthy, happy, cheerful, strong... and this is an order !
7. Finish with another little interview, this time with your guardian angel, or guide. Ask him to help you to always make the best decisions.

You can now have a great sleep !

Zibbet ! sounds great for crafters
