So I find that in certain situations, certain spaces, or around certain people, I have intense feelings in my abdomen or navel region. Normally I am accustomed to a pulse in my navel, but what I'm referring to is a certain pain, piercing almost, that I feel at particular times. This is one's place of power and identity. This is the second chakra.. The color orange. When I find myself doubling over in pain, I try to visualise the cells of my body constructed in perfect crystalline formation.. Beaming orange light comes pouring through clearing any kind of pollution being held in that part of the body.. Very often I find that I am coming back to this area of my body and asking myself the questions, Am I being fully myself? Or am I speaking my truth? Or am I hiding my feelings and identity.. Or how do I feel about who I am. Constantly asking and aswering these questions is grounding and maintains my awareness of self and other and the permeable boundary in between. Knowing how I feel normally in this center, I am moved physically when I encounter another who may grapple with the same issues. When this occurs and it's appropriate I ask the other person whether they are feeling anything in that center and what they visualize may be going on..

I painted this after a day that was filled with such encounters. I felt I needed to paint it out of my chakra in order to clear it. Now, outside of my body, I can work with the feelings visually and cognitively in order to process them and learn from them.

Puffy Throat. 14"x 11" NJ Winter. Oil on canvas. As I was painting this I got the feeling of a bird puffing up his chest. Birds do this to attract mates and posture at other males indicating what their territories are. When I painted this I was feeling something of the opposite. I felt quite dreamy and disconnected that day. I spent a lot of time in thought and fantasy, and had quite a difficult time in conversation with others. This is one of those days I spend completely alone in the woods. I crave the sense of security of a bug under a rock. The weather though was not agreeable. Stormy water and wind...
