Imagine this for a moment; you are deprived of oxygen, how does that feel?

It is usually not a very nice thought. Now, can you imagine the connection between humans discomfort, pain and suffering by their soul when deprived of it’s oxygen -self actualization? Just like a lack of oxygen causes the body to die, we deprive our soul of it’s life force, causing aches and pains in our lives.

In my work, I believe wholeheartedly, that the answers to every challenge and every dream lies within the clients ability and need to self actualize. Your soul expresses itself through your uniqueness, through your art. Your art is the most wise, it is your teacher and your tool to self actualize.

Most people in the world have suppressed their most natural part of who they are – their soul and therefore are on an ongoing process to suppress their power of self actualization, not fully owning who they are, with their values, needs and desires and not speak and acting on their truth.

Your art is the most essential gift you have been given, being the cause, channel and the tool for self actualization, yet it seems like the ‘hardest’ thing accept, or even the one thing people fear and ignore the most, seeing art purely as a hobby or a luxury some don’t feel they can afford.

As a result, rather than drawing from their ability to self actualize, people look outwards, comparing themselves, talking themselves down, blaming others or the circumstance, feeling powerless, have overstepped boundaries, feelings of invisibility, fears of rejection, fears of not being good enough, financial issues, relationship problems, being overwhelmed with burdening emotions, the list goes on.

Because of that unconscious suppression & outward focus, most people also don’t realise the immense impact not expressing their truth and engaging with their art has on them, stealing them from opportunities, courage, confidence, a healthy constructive view of the self, innate trust towards the self and the laws of the universe, inner calmness & good relationship to money, fulfilling relationships and, careers and business.

This is why self actualization, like the oxygen we need to live,  is the essence needed for the soul to be present in our lives, to truly live this life to it’s maximum potential and not just survive on autopilot. It is the unfolding of becoming more and more what one is, to become everything that one is capable of becoming. It is the process of honouring your very own, unique to you inner wisdom & creative expression and acting on it, no matter what people or your voices in your head tell you. It is you becoming the purest version of you, with your talents, your interests, your curiosities and all that makes you, you! That is pure freedom.
