Art for Everyone

Image
It is very difficult to imagine how different your life would have been if you were not exposed to arts and craft from a young age. You can find a lot of people who didn’t get dragged to art museums as children, and somehow, they feel that they disconnected from the world of art. Many people think of art to be inaccessible to them. That is just not the case. Art is a universal language, so why do so many of us distance ourselves from every opportunity to partake in it? Critics might call art to be useless and that it serves no purpose in our world, that it is nothing but a frivolity in a society that values efficiency and technology over something abstract and that art is only for the upper class. And although almost every one of us has abandoned that idea, along with several other medieval notions, there still remains a large group of people that believe they cannot benefit from art. So, let’s take a step back, what do I even mean when I say art? Art is th...

Impact of Colours on the Human Mind

Image
Colour, if it is simply stated according to its definition, is broken down white light. Light travel at us from different directions and different wavelengths and each of these wavelengths of light are perceived as a separate colour in our visible spectrum. Every object around us tend to absorb or reflect these wavelengths, so when we see a sky-blue colour, it is the blue wavelength that is being reflected while all the others are being absorbed by the object.  We as humans can feel and perceive colour. How or what we perceive about it varies from every person to person. Some colours of the visible spectrum give us a sense of serenity and calm; these usually lie in the blue side of the spectrum-consisting of purple and green too, also known as the cool shades.

What are sacred spaces?

Image
When thinking of creating an elaborate room for your meditation and tranquillity at home we often find that it is not within most of our reach, but in reality it is always easy to create your own small healing altar or place for your daily meditation and healing in your home, or in your yard or garden. Consider it as a sacred place where you can sit quietly for a few minutes each day to reflect on gratitude, your intentions, and inner thoughts of life. As an example consider a woman who has struggled in her life with fertility issues; create an altar that contains arts, images, or mementos that remind her of her womanhood, her strength as a woman, her love with her partner, or whatever will help her in re-framing her attitudes and beliefs around her struggle towards something that is more inspiring and productive. While it is not necessary for everyone, many women find this practice eases them and boosting their confidence, reminding them to focus on something that is producti...

The reflection of our spirits

Image
Our homes are the reflection of our spirits. We can find many homes where the residents have decorated each room to a tee, but don’t have any designated single spot in the home dedicated to only their spirits. A sacred space will not appear on your traditional blueprints, but it is crucial having a place where you can go to connect with yourself and your energy is as crucial as any other room in your home. The simplest part is you don’t even need to have a spare room to make your grand sacred space in, either. The creation of your own sacred space is just about having a specific area towards the rejuvenation and revitalisation of your spirit. For some, it might mean creating a sacred altar, while for others it might just be a meditation pillow in a designated peaceful area of your home, or a spot outside that makes you feel tranquil. Over time, when you keep on going to the same place to do your prayers or meditation, there’s an inert energy that builds up. It will trigger your m...
