I love that! I often listen to music when I work because it seems to quiet my mind and dial me in! ❤️ ✨ But it is so important to listen to the Spirit!!
Hi Kelly, I just followed my interest today on many TH-cam art channels. I am wowd that The Lord led me to your channel on art processes. I signed up for your patreon. See you there.
I started a garden or the first time this year, and it was mostly a fail, however, I am not going to quit. I know the value of growing plants to eat and smell, and overall appreciate. It takes time and patience just like art. and just like my yoga practice. I am trying to find moments of silence within my day, through my breath, and I am doing my best to release the judgments that I find my mind engaging in about how things should be. Getting to the state where I can tap into eternity is a daily longing, that sometimes feels illusive, especially when I get caught up in the daily existence of being a human. Anyway, the story you tell reminds me off the part of the Bhagavad Gita, when God reveals the true nature of God, which leaves Krishna both terrified and awestruck.
Arline - I am so sorry I missed replying to this comment a couple of months ago. Thank you for sharing your beautiful perspective! Daily pursuit of silence is certainly a discipline! I hope you will keep gardening! Every year is different, with failures and wins. I honestly think it is worth the sensory experience (especially smell) alone! Wishing you well in 2024 - May God bless and keep you!
@@kellykrusecreative I really hope you post more videos soon. I know they take time and energy. I have a yoga channel and I have not posted in well over a year, but there is a lot of value here. I love the contemplation and being within the mystical realm as I paint and how my yoga practice and my art practice connect me with the spark of divine within me as well as with everything around me. Rest is something that I can't deny, and I allow myself to have a siesta every day, because I love mornings and late nights, but afternoons are not my energetic jam, so I retreat into the sacred realm of sleep to recharge. Im not kidding, I feel it is a service as well as self care. When I am over tired and my nervous system is spent, I am not as kind or as open as I could be, and the noise in my head will not neat me near to anything expansive. Instead I become extremely tight and constricted. I do my best to breathe, focus and receive throughout the day, but my morning yoga practice and meditation (no matter how long or short) are vital and allow me to relax more easily within movement, whether it is in my painting studio or interacting with the world and her people. Life takes so much energy and we must recharge and plug in. It is counter intuitive to think that rest is necessary to productivity, but it most certainly is. Anyway as I am encouraging rest, I am asking for more videos please LOL (I did not say I was not selfish) And I am definitely working through my impoverishment of spirit moment by moment.
Stillness is always the key. I work a lot of times without listening to anything. It allows me to hear so much better.

Yes, it is. I am also turning my second bedroom into an art studio. Also quiet then too.
@@freshspiritworks4535 that sounds like an exciting project! I hope you are able to create a lovely sanctuary for listening + creating. ❤️
Just beautiful. I am craving stillness and reflection in my life and I am blessed by experiencing this today ❤️
Thank you so much for watching, Lisa!! I'm always craving more and more of it too. ❤️
I love watching your processes and appreciate your insightful comments.
Thank you so much, Wendy! I'm so grateful for your encouragement and that you took the time to watch. I hope you have a great day!❤
