commitments and agreements
DAILY SELF LOVE RITUAL
GRATITUDE - First thing when you wake up and last thing before falling asleep: hand on heart, big smile on face, breathe in deeply into your heart. On exhale say (out loud if possible) “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” Repeat 3x or more until you feel gratitude - to prime your body for being in creative flow.
PART 2 - Repeat out loud 5 times “I deeply completely love and accept myself” while rubbing the acupressure point on your heart with your right hand (in-between your 2nd-3rd rib, left side of chest on your heart). ***Say it like you mean it, smile :)
Notes: Do this practice while gazing into your eyes in the mirror. This is a POWERFUL way to start your day! Incorporate it into your morning routine. DO THIS PRACTICE before you paint and if you get stuck while painting. SELF LOVE & SELF ACCEPTANCE are essential keys to our Creative Power ~ LOVE YOURSELF like your life depends on it - and watch your creative expression blossom!
Completing your painting video
Before you paint: Take some time sitting in stillness gazing at your canvas and just listen. Rotate the canvas each way and sit with it for a while in each of its 4 directions ~ seeing if any images, ideas, inspirations come through ~ you may notice something meaningful to you hiding in the texture and first layer.
While rotating and sitting with your canvas; you may discover that you created your first layer upside down or sideways ;) Remember this is a practice of surrender, trust, letting go and allowing the whispers of your heart to guide you… and follow that pull of inspiration.
*Use this video as a jumping off point, when you feel called in a different direction, different colours, LISTEN to that ~ honouring your inner muse and teacher. EnJOY ~Linzy
