Joyful. Trusting. Alive.
When I think of immersion, I think of being immersed in water – steamy lavender baths, baptism and other water rituals, diving in to crisp, clean northern Ontario lakes or swimming behind the curtain of a waterfall like the one above. The rocks in the painting Immersed are plunged deep in the flowing water. They feel solid and anchored as they are being shaped and softened by the constant current. The feeling is tumultuous and joyful – like a white-water rafting adventure.
Conscious Immersion requires surrender and a willingness to let go of attachment.
Conscious Immersion is savoured, spacious and sizzling with juicy vitality. I love to be immersed in creative projects, family life, and personal growth. We have a new grandchild arriving soon and the energy of new life is very present. Community, marriage and relationships all work best when we allow ourselves to be guided by a bigger picture.
Conscious Immersion ensures balance is maintained.
To be Consciously immersed is to be “all in”, fully engaged with, and oblivious to distractions for a period of time. It requires setting aside our busy “monkey mind” chatter of To-Do lists and agendas. Conscious immersion can help us to avoid the less voluntary immersion most of us experience like baptism by fire. To be consciously immersed is to make space for a heart-centered opening to what wants to emerge.
As a visual artist, I became aware of the intimate link between my creativity and my ability to access and be immersed in the Field of Pure Potential. In this energy field, I am able to engage in a free-fall kind of dialogue that feels messy and uncontrolled but honest, rich and authentic.
I experience the Field of Pure Potential as a deep, pulsating, fertile field of limitless possibilities that is vibrantly alive and responsive.
While anything is possible here, nothing is certain and this can be very unsettling. When I allow myself to be immersed in the Field of Pure Potential, solutions, ideas and images show up that point the way to next steps.
