Art By Mia May Happenings.

Wed, 09 May 2012 12:51:36 CDT

The month of May was named for the Greek goddess Maia, who was identified with the Roman era Goddess of Fertility, Bona Dea, whose festival was held in May. Conversely, the Roman poet Ovid provides a second etymology, in which he says that the month of May is named for the maiores, Latin for "elders,". As we celebrate the month of May we celebrate Mother's Day and the Month of fertility, birthing new ideas, new projects, new plans, babies, lives, paths, journey's and so much more.

JOIN US ON MAY 12th from 130-330 for the Sacral Chakra Meditation Workshop with Art By Mia. The Sacral Chakra is symbolized by Water, it allows us to experience the many emotions of life. It opens up to pleasure, and learning how to "Go with the Flow". Clearing this chakra brings us fluidity and grace, depth of feeling, sexual fulfillment, and the ability to accept change. Connecting us to others through feeling, desire, sensation and movement.

Now that we finished with your root chakra let us move on to your sacral chakra meditation. The sacral chakra is the area of our sexual and reproductive organs. When your sacral chakra is illuminate it will let out a beautiful glowing orange flow.

Your sacral chakra is the level of sensation, attraction, physical pleasure. It's also the center of regeneration and procreation. Sacral chakra meditation will you to know yourself as a sexual being, with great personal powers, and outer attractiveness. Practicing your sacral chakra meditation will open your animal magnetism, this chakra is what has kept us reproducing.

Our sacral chakra is our base for survival needs. With this chakra being balanced we are more able to look at other aspects of life, and this creates desire, which gets us to move, to reach out, to grow and to change.

Creative Chakra Workshop with Art By Mia ~ Chamaca Arts

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 20:52:39 CDT

This course is open to WOMEN ONLY – no previous knowledge or experience is required.

Chamaca Arts CHAKRA JOURNEY IN YOUR JOURNEY BOOK (journal) facilitated by Mia from Art By Mia
8 course workshop

1st course is on April 21st, 2012 from 130 - 330P
we will start with the ROOT CHAKRA
COLOR: The color for this chakra is red, which is the lowest frequency of human's visible light spectrum. Red is the color of anger and/or vitality.

RULES: The first chakra rules our PHYSICAL energies. Also known as the root chakra, it governs our vigor, heredity, survival, security, passion, money, job, and home. This chakra aids us in our everyday survival.

During these workshops you are going to fall in love with your body, yourselves, your partner (if you don’t have one you’ll probably attract one soon!), your family and the world. You will make the distinction between your “inner stories” and the real you, so you can detach from the inner critic and be yourself and finally understand what “to LOVE” means… come together and allow your self expression through words, sounds and chanting. You will explore what’s talking “your truth”, what’s talking “stories” and learn how to LISTEN. Strengthen and challenge your intuitive & mediumship skills, and also receive the inner tools and confidence to create a vision board. You will learn how to empower your vision board to actually create the life you want to live in a practical way.

8th and Final course: review of those seven chakras, Vision board discussion, balancing and celebration!

What if I haven’t done the first workshops?

You can start the journey at anytime as long as it is at the beginning of a course (workshop). It doesn’t affect the value of the experience, since balancing the chakras is a continuous journey. No previous knowledge is required.

Identifying your emotions
Allowing your emotions to be the way they are
Allowing yourself to be the way you are

Keep your creativity flowing, and allow the energy to circulate harmoniously in your body.

Art from the Heart Workshop with Art By Mia

Art from the Heart Guided Meditation workshop with Mia

LADIES ONLY

Push passed your limits and explore freely….

Visualize your dream come true through Creative Meditation and Intuitive Painting.

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY

As adults we live in the mind… restricted, busy, inhibited, judgmental and critical of ourselves. A child is playful from the soul …. Free, enthusiastic, brave and creative. BE LIKE A CHILD and be flooded with JOY! Say yes to your creative soul by connecting to it.

PEACE JOY LOVE

In this workshop you will explore breathing techniques, chanting mantras, guided meditation and intuitive painting from the heart.

WE ARE NOT CREATING A MASTER PIECE BUT MASTERING PEACE WITHIN OUR SELVES!!

Intuitive painting is not about product, not about creating beautiful or interesting or provocative painting, not about creating “a painting” at all. It’s about painting a verb, about the process of putting brush to paper. It’s about learning to recognize the deeper motivation in the moment, about learning to trust that the impulse is a step along the path… the paint put down is the record of the journey. Intuitive painting is a meditative practice, mindfulness with paint. The workshop makes visible, via colours and shapes, what lives inside you, conscious or unconscious.

At the beginning of the course, there will be a short introduction and explanation about intuitive painting. Then there will be a guided meditation, music and free artistic expression. The idea is that you listen to your inner self, your soul and artistically interpret your emotions and feelings whilst mastering peace and creating dreams. Making a meditative intuitive painting is a very personal, challenging, fascinating, inspiring and creative discovery. It is not about the result, but about the path you walk …. It is something we can all do.

Please bring: Water bottle, yoga mat or meditation cushion, journal, smock or apron (for painting). Wear comfortable clothing, socks.
