I wanted to show another before and after of another image that I did at a Goddess Event with Shirley from Inspirations Books and Gifts. She has a shop down town Glendale, and is doing numerous events for like minded individuals. This Friday she will be having a Drumming Circle, which I will attending that are so much fun! She is also the one that I did a book cover for which is in my blog under Sacred Imagery. Anyhow, the image that I choose, was all done in Adobe PScs2, with some layers and previous textures I have and then erased and highlighted certain areas and painting with light. I choose these colors that I felt complimented her as a Wicca, and was able to bring out the essence of her personality. I went into the Aura Chart again afterwards and was amazed to see what her colors meant.

Reds are physical and sexual. They love expressing themselves through their sensuality and their physical bodies. They live their lives in the here-and-now with zest, strength, courage and self-confidence.

Reds love to live in physical reality, to manipulate their environment. Reality must be tangible to them. They must be able to see, touch, hear, taste and smell it. Reds are not abstract thinkers. A wall is a wall and there is no need for further discussion or speculation. Reality is literal, not ethereal or complicated.

Reds require proof that something exists. It must have a concrete and tangible substance. Reds remind us that we have bodies, that we are matter — flesh and blood. These robust personalities enjoy the physical aspect of life. They don’t try to see life as an illusion or try to escape from it into a fantasy world.
Yellows are the most fun-loving, free-spirited, energetic, and childlike personalities in the aura spectrum. Yellows are wonderful, sensitive, optimistic beings, whose life purpose is to bring joy to people, to have fun, and to help heal the planet.

Yellows can either be very shy and sensitive, or they can be the life of the party. These playful characters have a great sense of humor. They love to laugh and to make others laugh. Yellows believe life is to be enjoyed. They like to live life freely and spontaneously. With a perpetual smile on their face, they remind people to not take themselves or their problems too seriously.

Yellows would prefer not to work at all, unless their work was fun, playful, or creative. They love nature, and often have concerns for the survival of wildlife and the environment. Dogs are very drawn to Yellows and often become their best friends.

Greens are some of the most powerful and intelligent people in the aura spectrum. Greens are extremely bright. They process information and ideas quickly; jumping from steps one to ten. They do not like dealing with all the steps and details in between.

A project that is too detailed is tedious and boring for Greens . They prefer to develop an idea, organize a plan, and then delegate someone else to take care of the details.

Greens are very drawn to money, power, and business. These quick-thinkers are very organized and efficient. They write lists and efficiently check off the items on the list as they are completed. Greens recognize patterns and discover solutions very quickly.

When Greens are in their power, they can accomplish anything. They love to set goals and are determined to achieve them. Greens are “movers and shakers” when it comes to taking action. They are also typically the workaholics on the planet.

Greens are highly competitive and enjoy challenges. They thrive on taking risks. Gambling is common for Greens , especially if there is a potential for large winnings.

Being strong-willed, these powerful personalities are determined to have their own way, which they usually feel is the right way. A person is rarely able to win an argument with Greens.

Oranges are the thrill-seekers and daredevils of the aura spectrum. They love the challenge and excitement of physical danger. They love to challenge their environment and go beyond any accepted physical limits.

Oranges put their lives on the line just to feel alive; the stakes must actually be life and death for Oranges to feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. They love the adrenaline rush of excitement in the face of danger.

For Oranges , thrills, cunning skill, and excitement are the essentials in life. Everything else is just passive existence. Evil Knievel and actor/stuntman Jackie Chan are well-known examples of Orange auras.

I was amazed to see how these colors fit her personality! With the orange color, she puts her self on the line everyday with her job!
Enjoy!

AFTER

I wanted to share this great Event that I attended and photgraphed on January 18, 2008 over at Scottsdale Kerr Cultural Center with Dave Stringer and Sat Kartar. Kathy Borcia from Sabina Events put together the show. She is the one holding a CD Cover for an upcoming event Drew Bennett. I took one image of Dave to enhance with Adobe Photoshop CS2 as you can see below. I placed an OM hand behind him feeling that this represented him. If you look a little closer at the blue bleeding into the brown area on the right hand side of the image, you can almost see as though an entity or a shape of a person is coming out, with the face and body veering away from him. Almost as though it is leaving his body. By feeling what colors needed to play into this image, I looked at an Aura chart afterwards to see what the colors meant. And WOW..It feels as though this fits his personality!

The BLUE means: Blues are some of the most loving, nurturing and supportive personalities of the Life Colors. They live from their heart and emotions. Their purpose for being on the planet is to give love, to teach love and to learn that they are loved. Their priorities are love, relationships, and spiritualityGood communicator. Sense of inner peace and calm. Expressive, Nurturing.

INDIGO: Indigo is the most recent aura color to arrive on the planet. Indigos are ushering in a new energy, a new consciousness, and a new age of peace and harmony. Whereas Violets feel driven to help save the planet, to educate the masses, and to improve life here, Indigos are here to live as examples of a new higher awareness. Third eye is open. Positive detachment. Idealistic. Psychic. Deep spiritualism.

TAN: The bright and curious Abstract Tans are unique characters in the mental family. They are the most childlike of all the Tans. Abstract Tans are open, friendly and outgoing. They have incredibly optimistic personalities. Though they frequently have high energy, it is also usually scattered. They tend to go in many directions at once.

Before

After as Self Portrait

Self Portrait- “Inner Journey to the Unknown”

Hello All!

I was going through some images yesterday and was creating a self portrait. The first image is one that I had taken when I was traveling outside of Phoenix. That is the original image. I took the same image on the second one and used Adobe Photoshop CS2 to enhance the image along with some other artistic techniques and layering an image of myself into the trees. Which I call, “Inner Journey to the Unknown”. I wanted to show the before and after of what can be done, as I put together a self portrait. Kinda of mystical don’t you think? If you would like me create a custom image for you, please feel free to contact me. I usually use my intuition and get to know you as a person to create what feels right for your personal imagery. I will soon be putting a book together among other artistic displays and large fine art prints here soon. I am using different techniques, such as textures, essential oils, crystals and vibrational tones!!! So, if you like to meditate, these will help to enter into your inner quiet space. I am very excited about this new journey that I am exploring! And wanted to share the outcome of what an image starts out like and what can be done with it. Play Play Play, I say! I love my job! And someone’s gotta do it!

Hope you enjoy!

Namaste,

Michell Jonas

I stumbled across this on my Daily Om and wanted to share this will all of you. Sometimes, especially during the holiday’s, we can feel alone. But this aloneness also helps us grow into nourishing relationships within ourselves that reflects on others.

Enjoy!

Being Alone
A Relationship With Self

The most important relationship we have in our lives is with our selves. And even though we are the only ones who are present at every moment of our lives—from birth onward—this relationship can be the most difficult one to cultivate. This may be because society places such emphasis on the importance of being in a romantic partnership, even teaching us to set aside our own needs for the needs of another. Until we know ourselves, however, we cannot possibly choose the right relationship to support our mutual growth toward our highest potential. By allowing ourselves to be comfortable with being alone, we can become the people with whom we want to have a relationship.

Perhaps at no other time in history has it been possible for people to survive, and even thrive, while living alone. We can now support ourselves financially, socially, and emotionally without needing a spouse for survival in any of these realms. With this freedom, we can pursue our own interests and create fulfilling partnerships with friends, business partners, creative cohorts, and neighbors. Once we’ve satisfied our needs and created our support system, a mate then becomes someone with whom we can share the bounty of all we’ve created and the beauty we’ve discovered within ourselves.

As we move away from tradition and fall into more natural cycles of being in the world today, we may find that there are times where being alone nourishes us and other periods in which a partnership is best for our growth. We may need to learn to create spaces to be alone within relationships. When we can shift our expectations of our relationships with ourselves and others to opportunities for discovery, we open ourselves to forge new paths and encounter uncharted territory. Being willing to know and love ourselves, and to find what truly makes us feel deeply and strongly, gives us the advantage of being able to attract and choose the right people with whom to share ourselves, whether those relationships fall into recognizable roles or not. Choosing to enjoy being alone allows us to fully explore our most important relationship—the one with our true selves.

It’s Gonna Work Out
by Margot Zaher and Jafree Ozwald

The Perfect Process…
It really doesn’t matter when something negative happens to you on any one
specific day. It is all blessed fuel for your spiritual awakening. Your
ego will of course be judging your experience as wrong, terrible or
consider it to be the dramatic victim of all creation (if you allow it
to do so). Anything that arises that is not in perfect alignment with
what is “supposed” to happen (according to the ego) the mind throws a
mini or major fit. So when you get triggered by something or someone,
you can stop and re-center yourself on the thought that “everything works out perfectly in the end”.
The contracted experience you are having will all of the sudden feel
easier to handle and you will more consciously work with the feelings
that are arising in that moment.

The strangest thing about life is that it really all does work out
perfectly in the end. In the midst of suffering your mind will not
trust, believe or agree with this. Yet, the truth is that from the
vantage point of your soul, everything is always divinely orchestrated
to perfection no matter what happens. The whole Universe is conspiring
in awakening you to experience the truth of who you are, and sometimes
will attempt to give you a growth experience that your ego doesn’t like
at all! The only reason we ever experience things are not working out
in life is because the mind/ego cannot always see the bigger picture
from the perspective of one’s soul.

The truth is that everything always works out perfectly in the end.

When you hold onto this thought for an extended period of time, it soon becomes a mood,
attitude and an approach to life. By diving into the feeling that
everything in the future will work out to divine perfection, you can
relax, explore your spiritual essence deeper and actually enjoy your
life! With practice you will discover the hidden blessing that any
challenging situation was trying to offer you, and the opportunity for
the growth that was buried within it.

We will all be blessed from time to time with situations that are
threatening to the well-being of our ego. When these circumstances
arise, you can easily remember to relax and remember that in the future
the deeper understanding of why this situation had to emerge for you
will show itself clearly. Deep down inside your infinite Divine Self
knows that every experience in life is perfect because there does not
exist a “wrong” experience.

Everything is part of the play on the stage of life which your soul has chosen to participate in as an
observer, actor and producer. Your ego may sometimes love the scene,
while other times reject it completely. Just know that everything is
temporary, and that suffering only occurs when you are overly attached
to how a scene “should” be happening. Everything is divine. You are
here to explore it all and enjoy the large diverse variety of
experiences that arise.

Hey Guys and Gals!

Good afternoon, morning, or where ever your day might be at this very moment reading this. Today, I wanted to share a couple of spiritual images and some links that might inspire you to see yourself in these images to cherish in your home. I had a phone call the other day from a beautiful women that has helped so many people in there lives. Dr. Sig found me though “Whole Life Pages” magazine that consists of spiritually like minded beings. We had the opportunity to photograph such a wonderful person in her home and environment for her new website, at Dr. Sig. You will see most of the images on her site that we had taken. We had the honor and opportunity to attend and photograph her event she taught this week for More Truth Will Set You Free. Dr Sig has had the privilege to work and study with a gentleman by the name of Derek O’Neill.
