Expansion - Part 1 of 2

I made the sketch for this digital painting while studying in Malibu with Art 4 All People.  It's still in a sketchbook I have in my shelf.  It's about my dreams for myself.  

I paired it with the Bruce Lee quote, 

"Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one's potential."

I hope you are enjoying the Emotional Wisdom Deck. The deck and many other offerings are avialable on my kickstarter campaign.

Generosity - Part 1

 

There is a practice in yoga/meditation called pratipaksha bhavana where you cultivate the opposite. 

Yoga Sutra 2.33:  vitarka-bādhane pratipakṣa-bhāvanam

When disturbed by negative thoughts, opposite [positive] ones should be thought of. This is pratipaksha bhavana (Swami Satchidananda translation). When doubt or wayward thoughts disturb the cultivation of the yamas and niyamas, generate the opposite: a counterforce of thoughts, images, or feelings that have the power to uplift, invigorate, inspire, and steady the mind. This is pratipaksha bhavana (Rev. Jaganath translation).

This is the transformation or opposite of my ANGER painting.  When I used paint and leaned into “anger” searching for the  the opposite emotion I discovered  generosity and service.

This painting of GENEROSITY  is paired with the Simone de Beauvoir quote, “That's what I consider true generosity: You give your all and yet you always feel as if it costs you nothing.”

SADNESS - EMOTIONAL WISDOM DECK

This is a painting about sadness I did it in Swami Sivansankarianda’s Transforming Emotions class.  It is about family trauma and loss. The moon is me, the sun is my brother, and the earth at the 3rd eye is my sister.  It is paired with the the Taraji P. Henson quote, “Every human walks around with a certain kind of sadness.  They may not wear it on their sleeves, but it’s there if you look deep.”

Anger - The Emotional Wisdom Deck

I made the preliminary painting for this ANGER card during the Transforming Emotions class led by Swami Sivasankariananda.  

I was in reaction to the murder of George Floyd. All I wanted to do was scream. I was so angry. In this self portrait I am yelling.

The painting is paired with the Maya Angelou quote, “Bitterness is like a cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.”

Joy - Emotional Wisdom Deck

 This painting called “Joy” reminds me of my Yoga Teacher @MariaMendola although I made it before I knew her.  It was sketched on Hvar Island where I was teaching one summer.  I often think about the names of the poses and what they mean when I sit in a yoga posture.  This yin shape called butterfly reminds me to take everything a bit more lightly.  The butterfly woman is rising above her yoga mat.    

It is paired with a quote by one of my sheroes, Mother Teresa.

“Joy is prayer; joy is strength; joy is love; joy is a net of love by which can you catch souls.”
