I had hired master teacher Bhava Ram to help me move to slipped discs in my back. He has healed himself from a broken back.
Chronic pain can inspire change. One of the healing practices Bhava gave me was to create a mantra. My first mantra was
” I am a beautiful pearl in a sea of consciousness.”
This is my image of that Mantra.

Art can be contagious, like laughter or singing. When viewing art you can feeling it almost without thought. Encouragement is the greatest gift someone can give to an idea. It can arrive in may forms: self inspired; with a purchase; or spoken to someone else. I hope beauty surrounds you.
