Oprah and Deepak--Awareness Focused

First let me jump right in about the meditation—-

When the bell rang--the point of focus was higher than I was. My spirit self- raised from my body and went to where Oprah and Deepak resided. It was like they were meditating inside the sun. I joined them...quietly sitting down in our triangle shape.

As I focused I could see all my friends--all of the people meditating...a better word is "Praying" because they were calm-centered-serene..there were thousands...and thousands quietly joining into the light---which-when I went back to look at the light -it became a sparkling diamond with reflected light. The light became brighter-a tube of light that when straight up--then flared out like a sunflower- many rays of light--turning everything into light....(sighing) WE were ALL the bright light.

It was heaven.

(gulping) I will never forget this.

Back to the blog…My Awareness is Focused

I will be working with glass today. I will take the shapes that I desire to cute, I have the design sort of in my mind. It will center around these words.

Todays meditation is about “focusing ones awareness”. There is a point in art- where we have a plan, we want to create one thing-we think…then the muse, the glorious muse steps in and we are taken over by the “spirit”.

Something else-something greater takes over. Oprah and Deepak use the “source energy”- perhaps they have found the right words to drape the muse in.

Perhaps “She” whomever my highest self is-takes her magical robe and drapes it upon my shoulders. Because art for me, is MAGIC.

Last night I created the swirling squares, I am enjoying my sacred geometry class, by Mark A. Reynolds, it is taking over my art.

Yep. Sacred Geometry IS an entity- a Goddess to bow down to. Sacred Geometry existed before time, heck, she might be married to Mr. Time for all I know. (grinning)

So I create art in photoshop, because I love the series of meditation and I love Sacred Geometry. Both require focus.  

Have a blessed day Sweet Friends. 

Oprah & Deepak--LeAnn and Helen---Unbounded Awareness

Todays blog brought to you by my sister, my graduate advisor and the meditation series. Seeing is such a multi-faceted diamond.

My sister Helen and I often have deep conversations about religion. As we have grown our discussions have grown as well. Our understanding of one another and our compassion has developed into mutual respect.

We have come full circle. Comforting one another as we see ourselves in our children. The way we have treated our children, the way we have loved our parents is a mirror reflecting itself over and over again.

My children see how I am with dad, they see how I call him and try to be apart of his life. They call me and model the behavior. Over the years it is learned. I suppose they will treat their children the way I have treated them. Perhaps Margaret and David have learned from their friends parents how they do a better job at parenting. And for that I am thankful. Thanking all you friends who have loved my children -like your own!! (hugging you-smiling)

However, we ALL come to that day of “reflection” …The mirror reflecting the mirror sort of “seeing”. 

I just got off the telephone with my advisor and she was so happy to have her glasses back. (Waving) For the longest time she felt the weight of “not seeing”, she was straining so hard to see- what she knew was out there that she gave herself a headache. (smiling) We laughed at how crazy the whole “seeing” ability experience.

As an artist it is CRUCIAL- we see everything from every perspective. When we start seeing the light and shadow—we gasp in awe of it. THIS seeing—this “knowing” LIVES upon another realm. It is a “higher” seeing an “UNBOUNDED AWARENESS”…

Today’s meditation from Oprah and Deepak is about “Unbounded awareness”. It is a place of knowing, a place of understanding that is beyond judgement. It is a place where words need not be spoken. It is “Enlightenment”.

Thank you Helen, Lean and Oprah & Deepak for your incredible lessons of seeing!! Each of you have blessed me with lessons on “seeing”.

Soaring beside you all!!
Life in pretty darn incredible!!!
Wooohoooooo!!!

Bronze wings...Soaring

Bronze wings- 12 inches tall-
Original art by Judith Parsons Art 2014

I am designing the metal that will mount these to the wall. It is a full circle moment as I am using my welding skills to create what will support the wings.

I will take more photos when I have the support made. We all need support. It is a lonely world out there when we go it alone. I wish for all of you support. A family member or a friend that can lend a hand. Someone to call- when you are at your wits end.

I have a vague idea what I will build. The wings were originally designed around a small clay female bodice. The clay was too fragile for the heavy bronze. 

Think about that for a moment. THAT in and of itself is a HUGE lesson! Sometimes our wings are heavy, there are burdens which we try to carry, and yet…we can’t. We HAVE to let them go...give them to God.

THUS, these wings will have the negative space below the curves where the shoulders would have been. We need both the dark -in order to have the light. We must endure the negative which is the other side of positive.

(sighing) Art reflects life. Life reflects art.

If anybody is interested in purchasing these wings- please email me at judithparsonsart@gmail.com
Thank you. Always soaring beside you. 

Oprah-Deepak: The Art of Awareness

Original art by Judith Parsons

I worked with the eye last night—I started with the eye of the needle illustration, then I placed it inside of the eye shape. Then I went to bed.

The moon spoke to me, I wrote poetry, then up early to be inspired by Oprah and Deepak. 

It might be hard to see the words, “Ultimate Artist”. However it is there. We are all artists, as my daughter would say- we ourselves are art. Our bodies are art. Our life is art.

Then I listened to Oprah and Deepak and grinned and KNEW todays art was meant to be.

As an artist- We create because we can’t help it.... It is impossible for a true artist NOT be who they are.

Once you take off the blind fold, or blinkers (for you UK readers)—one can not look back.

I am loving every single word of this meditation!! I am inspired!! I am zinging with sculpture ideas!!

THank you Oprah and Deepak, I look forward to working beside you with clay—-letting you create art one day!! I can imagine us laughing as we let the art come to life.

Keep soaring -shining- and smiling!! Love you all!
Heading to sculpt!!! God I love learning!

Deepak and Oprah- Pure Bliss!

I created this art for Deepak and Oprah.

I am taking a "Sacred Geometry" graduate class and using this symbol to convey my gratitude to them.

The meditation series is amazing.

I
Am
Pure
BLISS!!!

Have a blessed day Oprah and Deepak!!

I can't wait to hug you one day!

Much love and light!

Sailing with you dad.

Image for google images.

My father is an incredible man. He worked hard and created art as a hobby. He used a propane torch, he brazed and used flux and he created art. He used to make these awesome wire frame sailboats. The main sail and jib  copper triangles. I watched him like a hawk. His shadow. I became an artist because of him. I am in awe of him. 

He needs your prayers.

I am thinking of my father today. He is faltering. He is deciding right now if he has the strength to to be strong…to continue living.

It is a beautiful and sad place to be. The body is only so strong. It can only go on for so long. It weakens and we become tired—and we stop struggling against the current. We finally float, we lay back upon the waters of life, and we surrender everything.

The ultimate surrender. Then, if we are lucky loved ones come to us..and cradle us against their chest. Like teaching a baby to swim, we hold them, we walk out of the water, we stand upon the sandy bank of the river, we unfurl our wings, we lift our face, and we carry the loved one into heaven, into the center of the sun. Where there is forever warmth and light…

I think of my dad as a young man, I think of him fixing things. He was an excellent fixer of things. Have I told you how I admire people who know how to fix things? (smiling-sighing)
He would fix the lawn mower and do electrical work. and he would magically make the Christmas tree stand straight when no one else could. 

He could make anything. And I was so contend standing beside him outside- as he fixed things. I would had him a tool. I prided myself on knowing what the needle nose pliers looked like, or the difference between a phillips tip or a flat tip upon a screw driver. It was who he was. It was who I became.

Pray for my father, as he struggle with the decision-to stay or go. It is up to him to decide. It is a choice. Living to be an old person is honorable, it takes strength to grow old. It is not for sissy’s.

My father sang in the choir at First Baptist church most of my whole life. He loved music. I leave you with this link…it is to me- what heaven would sound like. It is a glorious piece of art.

As I thought about an image-what could possibly convey to you-the beauty of a man?… AT first I thought -just a black page…with the link of “Adagio for Strings” by Samuel Barber. But then I thought about all of his sail boats..ALL the multiple sculptures he made—over and over again- he created the same sculpture. 

The sail boat. 

It is only fitting then that instead of flying him into the sun- we should sail into the sunset…laughing- drinking…Like we did ages ago—in Tampa. My husband, children, his sister, he and I…drinking champagne. LIVING our fullest life.

I love you dad.

Day 6 Deepak and Oprah -- Attention!!!!

Original Art by Judith Parsons Art -Inspired by Oprah and Deepak. 2014

Day 6

The Power of Attention

“Nothing comes to you willy nilly…What you focus on expands!” Word from
 Oprah Winfrey

“My attention activates my desires.” Deepak and Oprah.

I created this art a day ago. Then I duplicated one panel and adjusted the colors upon it. It expanded. I smiled when I heard Oprah say:”What we focus on expands.” So I added those words to the art.

I would love to teach art, to have an art school for ALL ages. I attend school now- where I am the only white haired person in the fine arts department- that is a student. I am 54 year old. I listened to Oprah say -for most of my life: “Follow your bliss” I did. And am very glad I did.

Art is my passion and life. It keeps me on my toes, I am constantly learning expanding and growing in ways I never thought possible!

I can not wait to take neon in the spring!! I am designing art now—that I will be making. Today I saw a lovely sculpture- inspired by todays meditation.

I had my arms outstretched—with my fingertips touch the forehead of Oprah and Deepak.Oprah had her arms outstretched touch Deepak and My forehead. Deepak had his arms outstretched touching my forehead and Oprah’s forehead. We made a triangle.

WE were the TRINITY! That was the coolest sculpture idea—I am going to try and make it!!
It would be cool to duplicate it- 3 times and over lay the 3 arms—making 3 to the third power..WHICH is the ultimate star shape. Sacred Geometry!!

Woooohooooo!!! It keeps getting better and better!!!
