Karma and Art
Written by Caryn Colgan
Art and karma go together like paint and brush. Karma is generally thought of as the law of cause and effect. Karma can also be a powerful tool in the manifestation of goals and dreams. How?
Changing your mind changes everything. At any moment you can change your life by the labels you attach to people, events, situations and life in general. For example, if a woman twists her ankle while walking across a rocky hillside she can bemoan her pain or see the beauty of the rock and be abundantly grateful that her legs are otherwise healthy. Of course, applying an ice pack and taking care of the situation is important but seeing the gifts in each moment creates goodwill.
If karma is the law of cause and effect, the goodwill is the “cause” and the “effect” is that positive vibrations will replace the old negative ones. Carefully prepared art can help focus the mind on desired goals. Someone wanting more abundance, for example, would create or acquire art that reminds him of prosperity. He would program his mind to think positive thoughts or take action every time he viewed the work of art.
Karmic spirited art serves two purposes: beauty and consciousness training.
By keeping goals, dreams and visions in mind throughout the day, anyone can accelerate the manifestation process for greater results.
May you create great karma,
Caryn
