Yesterday I shared on my blog how I felt out of my comfort zone creating this painting.
It occurred to me later in the day around 5 pm that it would be interesting to incorporate pulling an oracle card to see what message my first ever abstract painting had for me.
I’m sure you know by now my love of oracle cards. It’s my almost daily ritual to gain deeper insight into myself, plus I enjoy helping other’s do the same through my oracle card reading service.
This morning I set the painting in front of me and asked what message it had for me. I pulled a card from The Wisdom of the Oracle and received the card, Thinker. I chuckled quietly to myself.
As I shared yesterday I learned to move through the process of the painting. I’m now learning to just be with it and let it speak to me. It was all about getting out of my analytical mind and just feeling it.
The essential meaning of the card is: strategy; being analytical and logical. But I went with what I felt as I pulled that card and softly chuckled to myself. There are times for being just what the essential meaning of thinker is, but then there are times when it is the opposite as it was for me.
I wrote this in my journal:
The process of this abstract was about letting go of that overactive thinking mind of mine. Rest your eye and your mind. Relax into the colors. Just be with what is. Relax your weary wings that sometimes feel burdened when you try to analyze or find purpose in everything. Allow the universe to move through you with no agenda. Sink into the here and now and simply observe as your thoughts float away into nothing and into bliss.
I also received some fun, insightful and lovely comments on my post and on Facebook, plus some synchronistic moments about the painting. This just added to additional insight that feels so rewarding and fulfilling. Thank you!
P.S. I’ve decided to call this painting Blissful Non-Thinker. 🙂
