I feel strength in being human. One of six human series prints. Available soon through my #FlowShop. . It is reassuringly liberating to know (intellectually & emotionally) that your value is directly correlated with your needs as a human. When an infant cries for her mother, when hunger or thirst must be satiated, when a relationship requires a sense of safety & comfort - the fulfillment of each spawns, is the result of, and literally sustains your worthiness as a human.... . . . #flowstate #minimalism #selfempowerment #selfawareness #presence #authenticity #selfworth #selfdiscovery #flowart #integration #selfacceptance #grounded #artprints #mindfulness #selflove #winnipegartist #canadianartist #personalgrowth #mentalhealth #introspection #philosophical #consciousness #authenticself #expansion #innerchild #relearn #wholeself #wellness #highestself See more

One particular flow trigger with which I really resonate is the ‘skill to challenge ratio’. . Flow is found in that sweet spot where you are engaged in something at which you are skillful, whilst it also being challenging enough for you to necessitate conscious and intentional presence (not just unconsciously going through the motions). That balance between trusting in your ability and adapting to incoming difficulties. . We can apply this ‘skill to challenge ratio’ concept t...o our everyday by replacing the word ‘skill’ with ‘consciousness’, and can manifest flow more readily and frequently (not just while training at the gym). By being acutely aware of the boundaries of our consciousness, we can not only explore what is within them, but also begin to expand and redefine them; just like knowing the depths of our skills and playing with/pushing their edges. . Check out my stories for a mini TED talk on this idea. You can replace the word beauty with flow in the quote to which I make reference, and it still makes sense. . . . #presence #intention #connection #balance #flow #artist #winnipegart #winnipegartist #localart #supportlocal #canadianartist #selfcare #wellness #selflove #mindfulness #mentalhealth #healing #selfawareness #meditation #fitness #healthandwellness #wellness See more

I’ve had 3 very lucid, epiphanic dreams in the last few weeks... . The first was about the direct correlation between trust & perceived distance in polyamorous relationships. It involved sticks with strings attached amongst them to communicate connectivity despite space in between. . The second was about functioning unconsciously by default. It involved me becoming a computer, absorbing information and doling out commands.... . Last night’s was about living by a perspective of abundance rather than starvation. It involved an out of body experience where I told myself I’m not allowed to pick and choose my boundaries without exploring edges. That the conditions I choose to live my life by should come from experience, not fear. Exploration, not expectation. Possibility, not probability. From creating my own lines, not colouring within prescribed ones. From casting my own shadows, not camouflaging amongst established ones. To construct and understand my consciousness through expansion (abundance), not limitation (starvation). . All 3 dreams, though somewhat complex and philosophical, evoked the same simple feeling - I want to be in charge of my life, and have every right, capacity, and power to do so. . Self-empowerment can manifest in dreams, but it certainly doesn’t have to stay there. . . . #presence #intention #connection #balance #flow #blogger #blog #selfcare #wellness #selflove #mindfulness #mentalhealth #healing #selfawareness #meditation #wellnessblog #winnipegblog #gowpg #onlyinthepeg #winnipegnow #artist #winnipegartist #supportlocal #canadianartist #arttherapy #arttherapywpg

Consciousness = control & autonomy. A screenshot of a note I made that currently inhabits my phone’s lock-screen (a great place to leave reminders btw). . Basically it means that when we are conscious we get to choose. Always. . When @hebb sent me this photo after our shoot last weekend, I felt the unhealthy side of my One Enneagram type creep in. The Reformer or The Perfectionist is self-critical and judgemental. I was immediately drawn to my squinty right eye and my ...coffee stained lips. . When Ones move in the direction of growth however, they are wise, discerning, and transcendently realistic. (I’m straight up putting transcendently realistic on my tombstone). . So, the same aptitude for deep, critical thinking leads to both unhealthy perfectionism and wise discernment. It is my consciousness of this fact that allows me to control my direction, giving me full autonomy while doing so. Aka I get to decide to exercise old habits or move in the direction of growth. Aka Consciousness = control & autonomy. . It’s only when we are conscious, self-aware and present, that we can actively choose how we apply & improve our strengths & weaknesses, and ultimately nurture our True Nature, our most (transcendently) real inner selves. To cultivate this level of consciousness is a very intentional practice that requires respite... . To quote my bio: my work is fundamentally rooted in evoking pause... Because with pause, one can intentionally awaken this consciousness; a mental space to slow down, check in, and actively seek out present moments in which we may choose our True(st) Nature. . In summary, I think I look damn wise, discerning, and transcendently realistic in this photo.
