-The Foyer-
December 7, 2011


After meditation painting. The Foyer is where our loved ones will appear to help us on our journey to the next place. I always feel a sense of tremendous color, warmth, weightlessness, freedom, peace, and love when I think of this place.

December 4, 2011


Unlike my other paintings, I have been working on this one on and off for over one month after meditations. Being in oil, I needed to allow time to dry after each layer I created. Space is so beautiful!

'Together' Meditation Painting

Oil
-Together-
Aug. 28, 2011


Painted immediately after meditation. After painting, I immediately felt as though I painted two figures standing close and facing each other, just left of center. I believe it represents me and someone with whom I am close that passed on.

1916 Table Rapping & Automatic Writing Handbook

Handbook on table rapping (aka table tapping / table levitation) and automatic writing from 1916 by Alexander Verner:

Excerpt:

"If a man die, shall he live again?" Does death end all: or is it merely "the gate of life"? If there be a next world, can we communicate with those that are in it? These are questions that have agitated the minds of millions. Table Rapping and Automatic Writing answers the questions. It also does more, it tells you how you can answer them. It tells you how to prove there is another life, and how to open up communication with those who dwell therein. To the Materialist it says: "Belief is unnecessary. You demand evidence - here it is."

Energy Circle Experience

About 2 months ago my friend and I attended an energy group in downtown Crystal Lake, IL. Not fully knowing what to expect, we felt a little out of place. I've had an interest in energy healing and just learning how to work with energy period. It was definitely an interesting gathering and there were about 7 of us in attendance. We practiced moving our energy around our circle and we also tried directing energy towards one another. That night, I think all of us were eventually able to see energy coming off of our own, or someone else's, fingertips.

One helpful exercise was we took turns sitting in a chair, with our back to everyone else. One by one, each person came up behind that person and tried to move their energy around and within the person in the chair - and they were to try and guess which one of the group was standing behind them, as well as describe the feeling of that energy and what they thought the person was like. Despite being able to sense due to perfume smell in one case, and the particular sound of someone's breathing in another, I did walk away knowing a few things I hadn't. Throughout the night the others commented on how strong my energy was. I've long suspected that but have not yet learned how to control it / use it. The energy healer running the group exclaimed at one point that he had just seen my third eye. Stating something to the effect that it was "very cool", purple and beautiful. Wish I had seen it.

One last thing of note. Both my friend and I witnessed several instances of unexplainable flashes of light in the room during our energy circle. This evening was far more entertaining than the last couple of movies I have seen. In other words, a worthwhile night out at a reasonable price. 

I think the event was about $15 per person. I understand they have these gatherings often. Evolve, 54 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake, IL  60014.

'Family Portrait' Painting

-Family Portrait (in Spirit)-
Aug. 18, 2011

I painted this immediately after a meditation session. I never have any idea where the picture is going until I am finished painting it; I simply paint without thinking. I just clear my mind the best that I can. Afterwards, "family portrait" came to mind instantly for the name of this piece. I do believe that these beautiful orbs represent souls / spirit energy.
 

August 2, 2011 Meditation Sketches

I wanted to share these rough meditation sketches because they are some of the most real images I have gotten. They feel important to me so I wanted to share. Please ignore my poor drawing skills; these drawings are being shared for the message, not the art.

During vibration frequency meditation: 936Hz Pineal Gland Activator. This exact one in fact: http://www.youtube.com/wat​ch?v=3h2mJnvRbZ8&NR=1 . I close my eyes instead of watching the screen, however.

4 very clear images came to me. This is the 1st. I saw a HUGE stairway made of ancient-looking grey stones with lush green vines running down, adhering to the shape of the stairs. It would be impossible to climb these stairs as a human because of their size. At the top was immense sunlight.

Second image I saw: I was looking down from very high above - like from a mountain top or somewhere in the sky. I jumped and started to fly. An obilisque building soon came into view; I flew faster and faster the closer I got to it. Around the center of the building were swirls of colored energy. I flew into them and circled the building a few times.
 
Apparently in mediation my inner 8 year old draws! I can't even come close to doing my vision justice... Third image I saw: I was suddenly standing under this gigantic arch inside of a grey castle-like building. Colored energy and lightning bolt-like energy shot up from the bottom of both sides and met in the center at the top of arch, forming a swirling mist of the combined energies. I knew this was a very important and powerful place.

Fourth image. I do not know how I got here from the arch but I was suddenly in another room made of the huge grey stone blocks. It was dark. The only thing I saw in the room was in the back center - a carved stone figure of what I thought to be a person. It was very detailed in the carving and yet I couldn't make out the details. I am guessing on the figure's outline. Perhaps I didn't note the details of that because I was distracted by brilliant prisms of colored light coming off of the head and shoulders of this grey stone figure. I found it odd, considering there was no light source in the room. And as I glanced at this figure, it started to stack one on top of another, until there were about 30 of them, creating such an overwhelmingly beautiful site. I then lost my grip on the meditation and went back to my current reality.

'Ethereal Equine' Painting

-Ethereal Equine-
July 16, 2011


Painted directly after a long meditation period. I cleared my mind and simply painted, letting the brush direct me. I was in a very wonderful state where I felt immense love. When I finished the painting, I could clearly see I painted a horse's head. I have no idea why yet but I knew I needed to name this one "Ethereal Equine."


'Meditation Travel' Painting

-Meditation Travel-
July 3, 2011


Painted after a meditation session. Felt very "connected." Felt presences in the room with me. The room in which I was painting in became a high-energy environment, yet soothing, calming, loving. Vibrant bursts of color in different forms (concentrated mists, loose mists, swirls, cloud-like forms, ribbons, orbs, etc.) is something I have seen often in meditation, as well as a with my own eyes. This is a "good vibe" piece.

Painted after meditation session. Visions of tunnels and space filled that meditation. This is really beautiful and has a soothing, fluid, and futuristic feel.


'Tunnel To Peace' Painting

-Tunnel to Peace-
Jan. 11, 2011

Man heading through transition tunnel. The outline of this young man looks exactly like a friend of mine who passed years ago. I painted this after meditation and had no idea what I was painting until afterwards.

I have been in contact with his spirit and he confirmed this painting is of him... and that this is an image of a memory of mine! He claims that I was there to say goodbye when he died, even though I didn't "know" he died until about 7 years later.

GIVEN TO FAMILY.

Painted immediately after meditation. I had been experiencing a lot of dreams and meditation visions of space. I did not, however, know where the painting was going. Looking at the finished piece, I knew it was of a falling planet. Love this one!
 

'Spirit Energy' Painting

This is very similar to some of the images I have seen while meditating over the last year and a half. There is a lack of blending of color here due to rays of colored light coming in from different directions.
