\"Hands<\/a>

Hands open to take your pain from you<\/p><\/div>\n

The faces for this\u00a0series I\u2019m doing of paintings as a shamanic soul retrieval project <\/a>come to me before the symbolism comes. In common they have hands open in offering and a moon or moonstone.\u00a0 Inspired by a friend’s cat eye, I call this one Janelle and as I began painting, her story unfolded for me.\u00a0 Moonstone<\/a> is an expression of the yin, the soothing energy of the moon.\u00a0 A stone for \u201cnew beginnings,\u201d moonstone is a stone of inner growth and strength, soothing emotional instability and stress.\u00a0 When she revealed herself as a remover of pain, I painted her reaching her hands out to receive.\u00a0 On her forehead is an ancient symbol of healing: the spiral depicts the natural rhythm of life, and the healing power that is constantly radiated from the cosmos around us.\u00a0 I’ve painted shakti sparks outside the aura encircling her hands, showing they are energized and powerful.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\"Junelle<\/a><– Her facial features morphed after a friend told me the initial underpainting looked like RuPaul.\u00a0 I appreciated the comic relief!\u00a0 I had to look up the symbolism for the moonstone and forehead mark along the way as it came to me.\u00a0 I don’t know if she’s done yet. She’ll let me know.<\/p>\n

I’ve been making the eyes blue and green on each face in this series.\u00a0 In Edgar Cayce<\/a>‘s color meanings of auras, <\/a>blue is considered the color of the spirit, prayer and contemplation. It signifies having found one’s work and being heavily immersed in it.\u00a0 Green is the color of health, vitality and healing. A green with blue in it signifies truthfulness and trustworthyness. I use the blue and green in this series to raise the level of healing vibration.<\/p>\n
