There is energy in the form and formless. So, it is no mystery that art can change any space it inhabits. The beauty of Soul Paintings are they use their inherit energy to empower, support and nurture your physical energy and space.
Art changes people by its mere presence. The energy of art changes the energy in the room it inhabits. It expands our hearts and minds and opens us to new possibilities. Being open to new experiences changes the frequency of sounds and energy all around us. Art adds to this dynamic energy that is constantly evolving and changing. Art infuses a beautiful essence or expansion of love and light into our shared collective consciousness. Eric Kandel, Nobel Prize-winning neuropsychiatrist in Reductionism in Art and Brain Science, states, “Great art is great because it’s ambiguous.” Great abstract art has that ambiguity. It brings the viewer to attentiveness so they can bring more of themselves to a work of art to complete the story or the emotion. Kandel also stated, “Our neural circuitry is hardwired to prefer images we can identify, which makes abstract forms more difficult to process. At the same time, abstract forms leave the door open to interpretation, stimulating the higher-level areas of the brain responsible for creativity and imagination.”
Looking at abstract art on a regular basis can actually make you more creative and intelligent as you fire off new neurons.
Art changes according to the state of mind of the viewer, especially abstract art. What you see in the painting one day you might not see the next, and so it goes. It is like having a new work of art to view each time you interact with it; a new adventure and story to complete. The definition of miracle I am drawn to most is “a change in perception.” Since abstract art invites you, the viewer, to be the seer and to perceive, you indeed must be a miracle.
Soul paintings are the emotional and energetic imprint translated onto the painting’s surface. Set your soul painting in front of you. Sit with it for five minutes or so. What feelings arise when you look at it? Does it bring up specific memories? What do you see within the painting? What comes to mind in, around, and between the colors and marks on the surface? Study the colors and shapes. Is there a specific image coming forth? Feel into it. Abstract soul paintings often stir up a host of emotional responses: awe and wonder, emotional connection, curiosity, reflection, and contemplation.
Study the main colors of your soul, as well as the mark-making, complementary colors, express strokes, and solid areas interrupted by subtle changes in hues. Studying the perceived speed and direction of the marks tells you a lot about the energy of that soul. What energy do you get from the painting? Is it fast or slow? Closed or open? Each soul has a different emotional and energetic imprint that is unique to them. Souls that have already transitioned over have a higher level of openness and freedom with their expression. Now unencumbered, they have a newfound willingness to be boldly expressive without the fear and judgment that weighed down their earthly body. This boundless soul expression is unparalleled.
