Dear Heart
I did a big thing. A new thing. I pushed my edges and spread my wings way past my comfort zone – I exhibited at the NZ ART SHOW – and it was so freaking fun to surround myself with artists and art collectors, and to just talk, share and sell art! I enjoyed myself sooo much!
And in doing so I found a new world of resonance that has drawn me into a “How I do Life” REDO. Everything has changed this past couple of years, from where I live to how I live, what I do, what I will no longer do, what I love and how I work with clients. It’s all changed.I wonder if it’s been that kind of passage of time for you too recently?? I’d love to hear if it has. It seems these times are calling us to actually live the life we came here to; no more eggshells, no more excuses, just pure source-led action. And that’s what I’m here for.
Hit me up for mentorship (by replying to this email) if you’re ready to TRULY live the life you came here to and would like some guidance back into your own personal instructions (click for more deets on that here), or read on if you want to hear more about how living the creative life has changed my world this past couple of years, and how it can change yours too……

For the past three years I’ve been pouring myself into abstract art…. or perhaps more accurately, I’ve been putting a paintbrush in my hand, opening myself to the abstract, and letting it flow through me.
AND
something happened that totally surprised me… I can paint!! AND people want to buy my art! It’s so freaking fun to be in the creative flow. Even my clients are getting to experience more creativity in their own lives, simply because of how I share insights through the creative lens.
Turns out that creativity, when you be in its flow – which naturally and effortlessly happens when you are aligned from that deepest place – spills out to affect your entire life and everyone around you in positive and fruitful ways – albeit often deeply uncomfortable ways too. But change never came through comfort now did it?!
Back in high school I was told I wasn’t disciplined enough, or couldn’t follow instruction, or didn’t have the attention space required to lay the foundations, or, one of my favs, that I wanted to break the rules before I learned why they were there (they sure weren’t my rules lol).
But what I can see now was really happening was that the source of my being simply didn’t have any inclination, nor will, to being creative in any other way – bar my own sovereign way. I was to create void of art school rules. I was to live MY life, MY way. And you are too.
Creativity wasn’t something that wanted to come through as per some source or plan or list of personal instructions, other than the source of my own Being.
Creativity didn’t have an external program, planted by some other agenda, to run through me. It had it’s own One Step Plan and the first step was to reach down into that deepest place within, to listen inside to that ever so vocal silence, that you can only hear when you spend some time being with yourself, getting still and quiet enough to hear past the noise of everything banging around amongst your senses, and to then paint/live from THAT deepest place.
Art has taught me that when action comes from the deepest YOUness that you are… you unfurl… frond by frond… just like Nature… it’s a straightforward unfurling.
From that depth… you can paint, write, build, create, whatever your thing is.
You can live without fear, because from this depth, you live from the pure love that you are. Nothing is happening TO you, everything is happening FOR you and your greatest expression of self.
It is through the love that you are that you dream life into existence – step by step, by and AS Nature itself.
There’s no plotting, planning or visioning required.
No five step manifesting plan, no efforting at all.
Just
pure source energy
unfurling
the Nature
of YOU.
It is from this pure love source of your being that you dream your deepest self into reality… growing, unfurling, step by step, frond by frond, as Nature.
The last few years have recalibrated, realigned and restructured us all in different ways; shifting timelines, pausing progression in one realm of reality and activating immersion in others, reorganizing the inner circle of whole communities, whole constellations of relations.
No one
has come through the past half decade
unchanged.
Through drawing back into my own deepest re-do, undoing and releasing the traumas of the past, repatterning how I live in the unknown and giving myself the time and space for my own One Step Plan to unfurl, I found myself immersed in the world of abstract art and deep inner listening.
As my trust in the people and organizations around me dwindled, what became even more blatantly clear to me, is that within us is literally everything we need to unfurl as we came here to. That who we are here to be is what we have been all along. That just as we grew, without any external guidance whatsoever, from an embryo to a fully functioning human, all within the darkness of our mothers womb, where no one shone a light and told us how or when to grow fingers and thumbs, hearts and lungs, or muscles and bones, we just did that through unfurling the light of our natural self as Nature, frond by frond until we emerged into the light of every day reality.
And now, through the light of the fire within, we continue to grow through these dark days of adulthood into the fully fledged, evolutionary human that is continually emerging through the technology of our biological infrastructure and every single daily event happening – also without needing ANY direction or guidance externally whatsoever.
We are NATURE
and Nature knows how to grow.
No outsourcing required.
Yet somehow,
altho we do have complete sovereignty,
we’ve come to believe
that we need guidance,
expert advice,
educating by other outfits
and institutions
somehow deemed smarter than,
or more ‘qualified’
than us.
How did we let this happen? Mass hypnosis it seems. For we can actually wipe our own arses, rule over our own body’s, decide when to walk, run, stand and pause, make decisions and most importantly, CHOOSE, what it is we support through how we spend our money, share our time, donate our energy… by how we create our entire life.
All we have to do
is stop running the programs
that have us pouring water on the fire
that fuels the source of our being
– which is what we are doing
when we outsource our every decision.
It’s time to seriously CHOOSE how we want to live our life and what kind of life we want to leave for our children, and their children.
We raise our hand every single day to what we support in what and who we say YES to.
Whether you paint, write, sing, grow babies or businesses, guardian communities or schools, you are a creative being that can create whatever you CHOOSE to create.
Abstract art has taught me that all the layers that have come before this moment simply lay the land from and for which I now create whats next. The answer is always in exactly what you are doing right now. The deepest question to ask is: From WHERE am I choosing? The old adage – am I choosing from love or fear? – has never been a more important question to ask ourselves.
In my mentoring sessions I teach people how to walk the path that nature has laid in the footsteps they are placing in every step they take through daily life…. Just as I have through my own transition into the world of abstract art.
By turning you back into your deepest self, where you unfurl your own instructions, I share how to love and live life, healthier, happier and radically free as your own pure self in all that you say, do and be — purely by being confident enough to be and do YOU.
It’s time to live who you actually are…. boldly, creatively, purely and radically, fiercely YOU.
If you are ready to dive deep into the pure source of your deepest creative being, I’m ready to hold your hand and cheerlead you there – and I’d love to hear from you.
If you’ve read this far feel free to reach out for a free fifteen minute chat where we can assess our vibe with each other.
Until next time
much love
Carmel
