Namaste,
I still need to update posts from the road…getting there in due time;)
I am finally able to reconnect with the vibrant energy of inspiring creatives over at the circle of art….I have been travelling and following interesting projects and ideas but I have been missing touching base with amazing people over at the circle of art:)
It is quite interesting bringing that inspiration into the reality I am experiencing at the moment…..Thank you Petrea and everyone at over at the circle of Art!!!
Sending lots of love and sunshine especially to those in cold weather 😉

It was so great to connect with inspiring artist, friend and mother Abha Bhagwat .
It is so wonderful how things brought us together… From initial cyber interactions while following an on-line course on intuitive painting hosted by amazing Petrea Hansen Adamidis based in Toronto, Canada….My recent whereabouts in India finally made us meet in person, connect and create together!!!
Her work and environment is bursting with creative ideas that just keep flowing and are so contagious:) It was an honor taking part in art workshops and experience her artwork. The amazing creative boost and the wonderful artistic environment outside the box just made me want to share the experience and this great connection….
I really wanted to introduce Abha to the amazing creative network of SPIRAL CHANNELS I am part of (an international intercultural and interdisciplinary project in constant evolution). So here it is a collaborative artwork celebrating the process and connection of two artists coming from different worlds yet finding a familiar ground to express and explore inner worlds….
I look forward to do more artwork with Abha and to see her over at the SPIRAL CHANNELS.…a great community where creative collaborations flourish and bring together inspiring people from all over the world… A great project by artist Vlado Franjevic

It has been a while I wanted to write this post but I got side tracked but some personal stuff going on ….more on that on next post:)
So during my travels and experiences in India I was lucky enough to connect, meet and spend some time with some amazing people and take part in great projects and ideas just as they unfold….With a little nostalgia I left the north of India a while ago and decided to head south in spite of the heat … On one hand it was difficult to say good-bye and hit the road again after having met some fab people who made me part of their extended family and their world… On the other hand by making my way south I got to experience new colors, flavors, crowds, languages and traditions….
The main reason to cruise through Mumbai and head to Pune in Maraashatra was to meet and spend some quality time with a very inspiring friend, artist and parent Abha Bhagwat .… I was blown away with my experience spending time with her, her family and friends. I was lucky to take part in Abha’s art workshops and see her artwork. It is so refreshing and beautiful to find someone who treasures children creativity and imagination, understanding how essential it is to let that flow within any aspects of children’s life.
Also having the chance to visit inspiring places fostering free play and imagination like the Balbahvan in Pune, a truly special recreational place for children created by extraordinary Shobhatai…
And then the amazing project by Arvin Gupta , at IUCCA, making learning toys from trash with the mission of bringing education everywhere and stimulating the creative mind…Super inspiring environments where creative ideas get wings:)))
It was so amazing to experience life these amazing places and playing freely with imagination and creativity inspired by a very open, experimental and inspiring environment promoting the creative flow on so many levels. I so enjoyed the incredible inspiring energy coming from interactions with children and making art with them. It is special to see the world through their eyes…So this is the fab context from which magic things happen.. While I have made my journal throughout my different whereabouts and improvised with art materials and communities…in Pune I was overwhelmed by the contagious artistic creative vibes all around…

It is great to encounter Fun Monday Challenge #35 – Loving Kindness in Art even with a lil delay 🙂
Lani points to some very interesting research on the positive effects of pro-social behavior and relation to others! Lani had a fab idea for this week Challenge to create our own Loving-Kindness art to promote pro-social feelings….
AWESOME…a practice to keep doing every single day throughout any activities…
Loving-Kindness definitely raise vibrations and make positive shifts in energy and environments.
The force of Loving-kindness :
May all beings in existence be safe, happy, healthy, live joyously…..

This was inspired by the beautiful prompt over at the circle of Art 🙂
The Miyajima Torii is a real special place….the stunning floating gate to Itsukushima Shrine …part of the World Heritage Site on Miyajima Island.
The magic here happens following the tides cycles…when there is low tide one can get there by walking on the mud..then when high tide comes in the Miyajima Torii appears floating on the water….I feel that somehow those moments reconnects with the flow of our invisible Qi and the flow of life….
Kabir’s wisdom is so profound…It really doesn’t matter where we are at….All that matters is that any point is a starting point and we have the power to be active participants within that energy and create anything we want to ……

Wow new Lunar New Year…:)
Eastern traditions mark the beginning of 2014 as the year of the Wood Horse…
So wish you luck in the Year of the Horse 马年大吉 Mǎnián dàjí 🙂
Rune Kondo artwork about the year of the horse remains one of may favorites:)
It’s fascinating the connection we have with the earth and moon cycles….
Tibetan Buddhists observe the festival of Losar ལོ་གསར (‘lo’ = ‘year’ and ‘sar’=‘new’). During this special time evil spirits are turned away and Losar is cherished with happiness and prosperity. ..
Have a great weekend enjoying colorful celebrations 🙂

YAY, inhale, exhale, find your balance and chill:)
I love Lani’s 14 Secrets Fun Monday Challenge #33 – Create a Relaxation Recipe
How great…Creating something that brings us into relaxation…
We are so lucky to have so many inner tools to create peace and quiet…. Imagination can take us everywhere and create anything we want….I think that finding a mindful way to get into relaxed state of mind is definitely an essential recipe for well-being and happiness:)
Following this Challenge I tried to create from that state of mind and here is one of my Relaxation Recipes…Lullaby.

Today I came across a great post by amazing Cara Wilde: How To Recognise Your Truth .
Cara suggests a very interesting and practical exercise to get to know our real self and know if we are speaking our truth. This process of knowing when body and mind are aligned by listening to our body reaction is very supportive in times of confusions when doubts overshadows the heart… Taking time to listen to our body feelings and reaction we are able to recognize our truth and “know”…
Thank you Cara for this practice helping to tune in our inner guru!!!
Interestingly my response to the Circle of Art prompt reconnects with the reflection on tuning in the inner guru:)

I love Lani’s Fun Monday Challenge #32 – Create some Serotonin.
Boosting the level of serotonin seems to have a positive impact on our mood, promoting good feelings and emotions…I like how brain chemistry describes our energy pathways …. As Lani explains when serotonin is balanced we experience life from a happy and healthy perspective. The positive vibes are contagious as when we share and receive appreciation, kindness and compassion there is a happy environment. Lani makes the awesome suggestion to go back to art journaling and congratulate ourselves 🙂 🙂 🙂
So let’s go ahead and review some of our life’s repertoire and enjoy the compliments….Let’s create some serotonin, enjoy the happy vibes and keep creating with anything that happen in life:)
