Envision your world - A dream board

This is the second project in my journey of art therapy from the "Create Your Life Book" by Tamara Laporte. 

This project invites you to create a dream board collage that can help you clarify and maintain focus to achieve a specific life goal project or dream.

An exploration of thinking into the future and creating affirmations for my life. I focused on the past few years and really thought about what I would like to manifest in my life.  

I decided to not go with a collage for this project, instead, I chose an image that represented how I wish to move forward past my anxiety.

The image I painted is representative of balance within the entire embodiment of my soul.

For balance one must understand how to align each core section of the body.

The root chakra, represented by the color red and located at the base of the spine, is 
where the security and power base are energized.

"I am safe"

Aligning the root chakra gives you the ability to feel calm, safe, grounded, and secure.

The sacral chakra, represented by the color orange and located 2" below the belly button, is where your emotions, creativity, sensitivity, sexuality, emotional wellness, and self-expression are energized.

"I am creative"

Aligning the sacral chakra gives you the ability to maintain control over everything 

that makes you vulnerable.

 

The solar plexus chakra, represented by the color yellow and located between the navel and the sternum, is where your personal power, self-esteem, and confidence are energized.

"I am strong, confident, motivated, and powerful"
Aligning the solar plexus chakra gives you the ability to tap into the light of 1000 Suns 

that exists within you.

The heart chakra, represented by the color green and located at the center of the chest, 
is where transformation and love are energized.

"I am love, kindness, compassion, 

healthy, and healing"

Aligning the heart chakra gives you the ability to give and receive love, compassion, expansion, empathy, service to others, kindness, health, and healing.

 

The throat chakra, represented by the color blue and located at the base of the throat, 
is where your voice is energized.

"I speak my truth"
Aligning the throat chakra gives you the ability to earnestly express yourself and 

clearly communicate your intentions.

 
The third eye chakra, represented by the color indigo and located at the center of your forehead between your eyebrows, is where your perception, awareness, and spiritual communication are energized.

"I see the world in a whole new light"

Aligning the third eye chakra gives you the ability to connect to your intuition, inner vision, and higher consciousness.

The crown chakra, represented by the color violet and located 2 inches above the top of 

your head, is where the bridge to the cosmos is energized.

"I am enlightened"

Aligning the crown chakra gives you the ability to radiate infinitely upward and outward, connect you to your soul, your higher self, your purpose, your universe source, and the divine.

I have painted the Lotus flower in three stages and colors.

The purple Lotus flower is in the lower right hand corner, represents self awakening. It is painted closed for the understanding of the natural process of making friends with my anxiety, and knowing this journey will ebb and flow, but I can control this as I have awakened to receiving the signals from the universe that my anxiety represents. 

The blue Lotus flower centrally located on the left side, represents wisdom, knowledge, and the ability to control things over emotions.  It is painted partially open to represent the path I am on to making friends with my anxiety and knowing this is a part of the healing process.

The pink Lotus flower at the top of the painting, represents enlightenment. It is painted in full bloom to honor my goal of being able to move past this stage.

I have painted the image as a faceless woman to represent a path of going in new directions.

As in every meditation session, I have surrounded this representation of my journey with making friends with my anxiety with a white light surrounded (it may be difficult to see in this photo of my painting, but the woman in the painting is painted using white metallic paint) and by rainbow light to protect my journey from negativity.
