Painting Silk

Did you know that silk has the same frequency as crystal?

That’s why it is such a powerful healing device.  It actually has the power to hold sound and color within its personal energy equation.  When I was pregnant with my last child fourteen years ago,  I began researching the qualities of silk.  Like most skills in my life, my research was initially driven by the need to survive.

Living in Bali, seeing clients daily, growing bigger and rounder by the minute, I wanted to dress in the fabric that would most support my ability to be successful under pressure.  After much research, I discovered that silk is the strongest natural thread in the world.  It is absolutely energy absorbent so takes on the intent of the maker and then the wearer.

In ancient Japan, your worth was determined by the number of silk kimonos you owned.  The quality of your concubine was determined by the value and number of silk kimonos you could afford to gift her.  Each piece, made from millions of tiny threads, produced by a caterpillar!  Produced for what purpose?  To create a chrysalis, a cocoon!  And what exactly is a cocoon?  It’s a small sacred space to metamorphose within from a caterpillar to a butterfly…

That’s just what I was looking for when I was pregnant with Ahkasha, a sacred space to metamorphose within.  I took it upon myself to learn how to paint silk.  I highly recommend it.  It served many purposes in my life.  One very important one was that I had a tendency to become so anal and meticulous.  I was a problem to myself and others…overworking everything to death, including myself of course!

By learning how to paint silk on a deep metamorphic level, I set myself free from this condition.  The very nature of the medium does not allow for absolute control of anything.  So I had to let go…and it was a huge healing experience, just to let go the need to ‘control’, and work with the color.

When the day comes that you finally get over watching CNN to determine your reality and decide that Bali is a beautiful healing island worth a visit, come and learn how to paint silk.  Learn how to create a personal garment of power and purpose for yourself, a garment with the same frequency as crystal, qualified by the colors you choose and the myriad of colors you will create from those original three.  You will be amazed at how challenging, yet rewarding, it is to paint silk.  I look forward to sharing the adventure with you.
