Set your Soul Free

For me your Soul is that warm you feel inside even when the sun is not shining, a light that shines from within outwards and even that heaviness you feel, drained, anxious, un-inspired. I usually feel this most on a Sunday or Monday (just me?) Today I was searching a "soul cleansing" and I came across this 21 day soul cleansing program. Which I am going to do, and i will share with you the process if you feel this is something that would help you...

DAY 1
So how do you know if you need a lil soul cleansing....
The past plays probably the 1st piece in this whole journey. All your desires lie dormant within your soul- in order to obtain what these are we need to get rid of doubt, numbness, distraction, negative thinking. A higher part of you longs for growth vs the lower part that clings to what you are familiar with- even though this might cause pain or discomfort. The fact that you are looking for something more is the sign you are looking for according to Debbie Ford.

The unhappiness that sits inside, that is your frustration, discontent and anxiety are now pushing you for release-this requires you to be 100% truthful with yourself about The Present condition in your life, you will just be binding yourself to the past and closing the door to the future and upper self growth. This truthful realisation will allow you to open up to happiness, the courage to express your ideas and take risks.

So the 1st thing you do is- to bring forth your souls greatest desires. You pick 1 goal to achieve in your outer world and 1 goal to achieve in your inner world which you wish to achieve in the next 21 days...

Cleansing Ritual, you write down the area's of your life that require the most amount of attention right now. Ho will achieving your goals change your life? How will it affect the people around you? By achieving that part of your life what will that make room for?

Your Outer Goal: The action you take today that will move you  step closer to your souls vision. Make that commitment to take that action.
Your Inner Goal: What is  action you can take or  thought you can think that will support you in having more of the feeling you desire?

Paintbrush in hand

When I came across some of these art pieces, it took my breathe away... this is the next level.  The new Bar.... ow goodness I'm excited. Not sure everyone else feels my enthusiasm.
Her Name is Francoise Nielly, she is a french artist.
And this is what she does...

... all of that classical imagery of South France is very alive as an experience inside of me. Maybe it is what led me to the use of fluorescent colors in my paintings.

Her vibrant, illuminating works regularly span six feet in length, a size that gives her work a captivating quality.  These portraits capture the beauty and emotion of a range of faces, showing the colorful variety of the human spirit.  

I think a few more smaller paintings and will explore into a wide screen painting size

This is my favourite piece x

Deal with S-T-R-E-S-S

For those who deal with stress, which is like saying for those who breathe...
Here are some great ways to deal with daily stress.
Also a lil dedication to the girl in my office who's voice is climbing by the minute!
Stress is a direct relation to how out of control we feel- and yet we sometimes aim to feel out of control after a very long week. When we need to grip onto the chair and say- Stress- its not you its me-no swap that! and i don't want to be friends- I don't like you all that much anyway- lets call it a day and breakup? <3 Kerri

1... *BREATHE*



§  Increased tension results in rapid, shallow breathing. For better relaxation, inhale slowly, hold your breath, and exhale slowly. Count to 8 during each phase.

2...* Sing *

Loud singing demands deep breathing, which relaxes the singer. Hold the notes for as long as you can. When I was younger, I would sing in the bath, now I make very important life decisions in there. Might swap back.

The world's top 10 Splash Hits1. Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody
2. Cheryl Cole – Fight for this love
3. The Black Eyed Peas – I gotta feeling
4. Stevie Wonder – I just called to say I love you

6. Elton John – Candle in the wind
7. Wet Wet Wet – Love is all around
8. The Black Eyed Peas – Meet me half way
9. The Beatles – She loves you

3...*Choose*

This here can be quite the challenge...try keep quiet when you feel a negative reaction. Choose to silence your phone at night ****



4... * Mental break *

Take a quick "mental break" by envisioning a favorite place in your mind-whether it be the ocean, the mountains, or your own backyard. Concentrate on "seeing", "smelling" and "hearing" the things you imagine.



5... * Draw *

Take your shoes off and draw a zebra. Just do it.



6...* Streeeeeeeetch *

Standard stretching exercises are good for relieving tension. Eating right and regular exercise always helps- try a little yoga and feel the difference.



7... *  More you *

What's fun for you can be good for you. Whatever your interests are, indulge them. Feeling competent and in control is relaxing. Be cheerful, it deflates others stress and anxiety. Laugh and smile more.

Reduce the urge to be "perfect" Avoid excessive competition Reduce criticism of yourself and others.

*Feel Stress Free*
