COVER ART                                       SEA OF TRANQUILITY


                                                                       by Jane Delaford Taylor


                                            This is a fantasy piece depicting a fairy riding a waterhorse - otherwise known here
                                            in Scotland as the Kelpie, a magical white horse that can only be tamed if you can
                                            seize hold of its silver bridle. I didn't paint the bridle in this
                                            picture because I reasoned a fairy wouldn't need to bother
                                            with that, being magical herself!  There's a dark side to the
                                            kelpie legends though, these creatures can be dangerous and
                                            will gallop into deep water with you and drown you if you
                                            aren't careful. I see the kelpie as personification of the water
                                            element, and the silver bridle as a symbol of the wisdom that
                                            is needed to control it in a harmonious way, so that we don't
                                            damage the environment or ourselves by our misuse of this
                                            precious gift.

                                            I’ve been painting and drawing since I could hold a pencil, and worked as a
                                            professional illustrator for many years, but am now doing far more of the thing I
                                            love best - painting in oils on canvas. I regularly sell worldwide and love connecting
                                            with the people who buy my work (it’s all original art - no prints here I’m afraid!) Most
            of what I do nowadays is what’s termed ‘inspirational’ art. That’s art for healing, using images and colours that touch us at a
            deeper level, so that the simple presence of the painting on a wall provides a continuous gentle reminder to lift the soul to
            joy.  For me painting is one of the necessities of life,- I find it energising and transformational and couldn’t imagine not doing
            it! I tend not to plan too far ahead but just move with the spirit, literally, although themes of subject and colour do tend to
            develop anyway – at the moment it’s nature, big time! Or nature spirits and angels – sometimes I have no idea what is going to
            materialise on the canvas before I pick up my brush!  What I do find is that folk will often say that a particular picture speaks
            to them on a deep level, and brings them a great deal of joy – and selling my work like this is so rewarding on a personal
            level too!  I also do commissions for clients who have a specific image in mind that they want to bring to life – there are some
            samples on my website – you can find my work at www.janedelafordtaylor.com  or email me at chalicewell@hotmail.co.uk

                                                                 that allows you to be the witness of the transferring it from
                                ...continued from page 27        vibrational into what is more.'

                                                                 You see, you don't really have a long enough view from your
            Did you know the need vibration and the allowing vibration   physical perspective to really get that everything that you see
            are so far apart that they aren't even on the same- Well,   now, in your physical world, was a vibration at one time that
            they are on the same stick, but so far apart on the stick that   has become.
            when you are really needy, you're really blocking what you are
            desiring.                                            All things, wanted or unwanted, that are manifested in your
                                                                 experience are as result of humans, and others - animals, too
            You can't be needy. And you say, 'Well, that stinks. Because, if   - giving attention to subjects.
            I need it, I need it. And if I need it, I'm asking for it. Because
            I've been asking, and asking, and asking, and asking, and   And so, when you start paying attention deliberately, then
            asking, and it has not come to me. So what gives?'   you begin exercising more control of what becomes in your
                                                                 experience.
            And then we say, 'Oh, it's in this vibrational reality.'
                                                                 So much so that two of you could be walking in a similar
            And you say, 'Oh, that's nice, Abraham. 'How do I get my   direction, in a similar town, on a similar street, and be living
            money out of the damn vortex and into the bank? 'When does   such different experiences, because what you're translating
            it become a reality that is meaningful to me?'       from the ethers into reality is very different than what
                                                                 someone else is not allowing to become for themselves.
