Tara…

It is green Tara, though I made her primarily golden. Her mantra is Om Tara Tuttare, Ture Svaha- she is the believed to respond instantly to the cries of her devotees, and is said to protect from a variety of calamities, things like floods, fire, thieves etc…My shiatsu as well as my art is deeply intuitive rather than linear, so I open to what that moment brings and this piece is unorthodox-it is not meant to be like a traditional Buddhist Thanka. Of course tradition implies rules which can be a great thing, but my work comes through as spontaneous transmission of Spirit.
My work life will hopefully continue to be a mix of holistic work with others and solitary creative expression. The latter is then sent out into the world. Both ways of “working” bring a sense of balance and harmony to my spirit at this time. And time spent doing one nourishes the other.
Hope to see you soon for a shiatsu or private yoga session or a combination of the two. Also if in need of support in transitioning from one form of livelihood to creative or healing work, do get in touch to disuss Transition Mentoring.
