When someone plays back a tape recording and you hear the sound of your own voice for the first time, you may find it very amusing. Know that your voice is an instrument of the universe when you become a pure channel for her energy. Now you become the energy and the universe allows you an instrument of choice to work through. Your instrument may be a camera, pen, paintbrush, piano, computer, stove, or anything that allows you creative expression. No one can tell you how to express your own needs. No one can tell you what you must paint, cook, or play. They may suggest but the choice is always up to you. How do you see you work unfolding? This is your sacred space. Learn to focus on your own needs in order to express your desires. Make clear boundaries for yourself.

Affirmation: I create according to my own needs. I accept responsibility for my own space in the world. I now receive my “Master of Art” discipline. My art expresses what I believe in. My instrument of choice is creating a peaceful space in the universe.


Create Peace

     Each day, choose what you wish to create. Choose wisely. Choose to create peace. Create inner peace by learning to listen to your own inner voice. Follow the path your intuition unfolds. Ask yourself what the next step is for you today. The next step is always peace. Simply learn to listen and follow your inner guide. You are always safe when you follow that voice. There is nothing you have to do except choose wisely.

Peace is always available. Allow yourself to acknowledge this fact.

Affirmation: Today I am choosing peace in every activity I begin. Peace and Quiet are the friends I invite into my home to accompany me through this day. I am honoring my art by choosing peace each moment. I am honoring my body by listening to what it has to tell me.


A Healing Ministry

     When you create this peaceful space in your life you are developing a ministry of healing meditation. You are administering peace to your surroundings and others are soon drawn into this space to be blessed and healed by your work. Bright colors attract. Beauty and peace attract. Works of joy attract. Others come to you to feel this safety you create in your own space. Allow them to experience the beauty of your joy. Take all the time you need for yourself. You are providing a service for the universe. Your work is important. Listen and
follow.

Reach For Your Dreams

     Once you know what you want you must prepare to receive it. As you keep clearing the path, eventually the answer arrives. You need to prepare for the fulfillment of your request.

Affirmation: I am ready to receive the realization of my dreams. I am open to the propelling forces that speed the completion of my work. I am choosing to walk the paths where dreams come true. My needs are being abundantly addressed. I am well provided for.

A Season To Everything

     Do not worry that your work is not yet showing a profit. Just listen and follow the voice of your intuition. Know that your path is set. You are being led to your land of plenty. You are crossing your sea of change and you are a survivor. You are being led to the completion of the cycle of your creation. This is a very exciting time in your life! Trust you are on the right path. You are protected and precious. Believe what you are creating is a beautiful circle of peace.

Energy Patterns

     Listen to your own voice as you hear yourself speaking to others. Just be aware you are speaking and your own voice is unique. You are a channel for the energy of the universe. Let your song be heard! Your energy is imprinting a unique pattern in every place you visit, in every piece of work you create. Your energy is flowing throughout the universe. This is your projection of spirit.

Learning Patience

     Just when you know you are working so well and energy is flowing at full force, you may feel anxious for external results and wonder why you don’t see anything changing in your external world. At this moment you are learning patience. Appreciate the reward of your wonderful work. Appreciate how you feel when you are doing the projects you love. These are truly the best rewards possible. You are achieving success today! You are continuing to do what brings you joy. You are learning your lessons.
