Hands with Energy - Heating the Heart



Hands with Energy, Paint and Ink on Paper, 32 x 20 in., 2007
_________________________________________

This is a piece I painted just after the previous Aura of a Burning Heart. It kind of came to me as a vision of these hands that would be "healing" the viewer. But then I began to think that the viewer could be the one doing the healing, so I decided to paint the back of the hands as if they could be the viewer's.

The heart found it's way into the work in an interesting way. After I painted the hands, I noticed the space between the hands looked a bit like a rib cage, and so suggested a place where the heart sits.

The energy coming from the hands is energizing the heart and setting it aflame. It could be understood like reiki energy which after a simple attunement anyone can perform. And fortunately, viewing art requires no attunement at all.. Thanks for looking!

There comes a time doesn't there, when we must rally around friends and give them the kind of support we have to offer as well as the support that they need. Such a time is here now.

I have spoken to Eileen not too long ago over at feelingsaloud.blogspot.com and she has been on a long road trip. She's pretty tuckered out and I feel she could use a little encouragement from blogging friends.

I wonder if you would mind going over to her site and just leaving a few encouraging words. I feel this would be very helpful and that she would really appreciate it.

Consider it - okay? Thanks a lot. Goodlife.

Oh, I really love this one - I very much believe that healing energy comes from within, and painting from the viewer's perspective was a dash of genius!

Thanks for visiting my 'letting off steam' blog. How about coming and seeing my photos next atWords that Flow... I think you might like them :-)

After I experienced kundalini, I could place my hand over a person's heart and "see" a great many things. Sometimes, the person would feel warmth radiating out from their heart afterwards.
I haven't done that in a long time but am reminded of it seeing this painting.
