Healing through art

Let me take you on a journey ...

Bright colors illustrate parts of this journey called life. Within them are lessons, support and dreams.

May the paintings speak to you in your unique way.

Each painting tells its own story. The story of how it appeals to you.

See it with your beautiful eyes, feel it with your precious heart. Make it yours.

For the curious ones, allow me to take you on a journey on how each painting came to life. Some paintings follow up on each other, holding a sequence of information. And at the same time, they exist fully on their own.

Perhaps, in time, the meaning they carry to you might change.
This too, is part of their power for you.

Am I willing to look inside

At the start of a panchakarma treatment in Mallorca, the door of the retreat was absolutely beautiful. I knew that, many inner parts were about to be exposed. So the question was... am I willing to look inside?

In a lanscape covered with the early spring flowers, the beautiful sunshine rays on my skin and the tranquility of this place, I felt ready to open the doors. Are you? What if … among many things, you found the most beautiful light?

Surrender

Go even closer and allow this feeling to express itself. Instead of pushing it away deep down in a box far away (where it will explode at some point in life, guaranteed), allow the energy to run through your body. Emotion is E- motion, is energy in motion. Give your emotion space to move, in all safety. Be curious and for just a little bit, surrender to it and let it speak. Every emotion, laughter or pain, comes to teach us something. Let your body teach you.

Release

Become the observer. Allow your emotions to be, to move, to express themselves, without letting them consume you. Be fully present and open to all that is. Nothing is good nor bad, it just is. In this way, your emotions are valid and safe. They will not rule your life for you, nor dictate your patterns and behaviour. They simply can exist and teach you in an elegant way. Your emotions are here to help you grow in the best version of yourself. They are here to liberate you and make you brighter. Allow them. Allow all of you, in grace.

Rebuilding foundation

When you release, you break down many walls. Ever so slowly, opening for new life to come in. How do you want to shape this new life? How do you want to rebuild your foundation?

What are the things you need in this very moment? What does your inner child needs right here right now so you can strengthen your foundation?

How liberating is it to be able to soothe and reinforce the very core of who we are?

This painting represent an important part of healing my spine. Our life energy runs along our spines. Due to a spinal fracture, my spine felt very compact. Stuck. Up until among many things, I released many emotions attached to this powerful place. And my spine opened up, allowing energy to flow. The spinal foundation. Flowy yet strong. Able to adapt yet reliable.

Bowl of light

During my Lomi Lomi training, I learned about this Hawaiian philosophy, where we are all born as a bowl of light. Due to conditioning from education, upbringing, society,… and limiting beliefs of our own this bowl of light gets filled with stones - preventing our inner light to shine through. Energetic bodyworks enables us to grab stone by stone and asking ourselves: do I still need this one or am I ready to release? Some stones are very usefull, others are heavy luggage we carry around. By releasing we make space and air to shine brighter and live freely from our hearts. It is a process rather than a quick fix, it is a journey deep within.

So are you ready to lighten up your bowl of light?

The bowl in the painting refers to my Panchakarma treatment in Mallorca, where I released many stones of my own and a new chapter was about to start for me.

Keep your energy in motion

Energy is always and everywhere. You just need to find a way to access it and let it flow.

Energy can never be created. Energy can never be destroyed. It can only transform. So if you feel a lack of energy, are burned out, depressed or… the most important question is: where did it go? What parts of you are holding on to that energy?

The Mallorcan windmill is a reminder of where deep stuck energy got freed up and a lot of my inner energy began to flow again. Energy is always and everywhere, so where is yours? The key is, to always keep your energy in motion!

Energy can only transform. And the transformations it holds are absolutely mesmerizing.

Refuel

You are what you eat, what you watch, what you do, the people you hang out with. Be mindfull which energies you surround yourself with. It is important to nourish yourself with tonic chemicals. Tonic thougths create tonic chemicals, toxic thoughts create toxic chemicals.

This painting is about following the passions of your heart. Do something that sets your soul on fire every single day. Refuel, nourish yourself with joy, pleasure and gratitude,

Alignment

That moment where your mind, heart and sacral area align, you become unstoppable. Your intuition becomes so strong, that you move with purpose and grace.

I painted this at the end of my Panchakarma treatment in Mallorca. When my spine finally began to heal, and that I could feel so much power and energy flowing around this beautiful part of my body. A part that is severly injured. Connecting sacral area, heart and mind. Pieces of a puzzle began to fall into place. My foces laser sharp. My heart wide open and driven by my womb. Complete alignment.
