\u00a0For many years, decades even, I\u2019ve felt attracted to viewing life in a perhaps not so mainstream way. I loved books by Fromm, Jung and later Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra and many more.<\/p>

\"\"In a stressful period in my life, I joined a Nichiren Buddhist chanting group which totally helped me. I felt attracted to the energy of mandalas and started creating them apart from my usual art. I love the teachings of Buddha and I like to visualise and to meditate.<\/p>

I felt that I was on a \u2018spiritual\u2019 path, with both my feet firmly on the ground, but the spiritual did show up in my art and even in some of my books. Since a couple of years ago I\u2019ve become fascinated by the teachings of Joe Dispenza, Bruce Lipton and Gregg Braden, to name but a few\u2026 quantum physics. I love that stuff.<\/p>

But changing your subconscious habits is not an easy task and I\u2019m far from becoming a master. However, when I do remember I notice that it is very powerful.<\/p>

\"\"This is why I decided to also include positive words (thoughts) into my artworks and incorporate powerful phrases into my designs on my RenartsWorldFashion site.<\/p>

The world has changed, people are sensitive to fear. Judgement and misunderstanding seem to be prevalent. They pick this energy up from each other and it seems to spread like wildfire.<\/p>

Yet a change of thought could turn things around. For yourself, for those you encounter. The same way we can subconsciously pick up on the negative energy and thoughts of our environment, I believe we can also subconsciously pick up positive energy and thoughts.<\/p>

\"\"Metta Meditation is such a good example of this. I\u2019ve tried it many times when I encountered a not so friendly shop assistant for example. In my mind I say a few Metta sentence \u2026 May you be Well, May you be Happy, May you be Peaceful. I then repeat May I be Well, May I be Happy, May I be Peaceful to end with May we be Well, May we be Happy, May we be Peaceful. And it works. More often than not the person in front of me relaxes and becomes kinder. I do find this fascinating and that is why I now incorporate Metta texts in some of my artworks. It\u2019s barely visible, but that is not important. I believe Art holds an energy and the mere fact that it\u2019s there will transmit this to the viewer.<\/p>

I intend to add more designs with uplifting, perhaps positively thought-provoking and just well-wishing texts. A combination of beautiful colours, beautiful images and powerful words, to nudge those you encounter to look at life in a more gentle way.<\/p>

Thoughts become things. Thoughts can manifest. Thoughts can provoke change!<\/p>","urlTitle":"you-give-you-receive","url":"\/blog\/you-give-you-receive\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/you-give-you-receive\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/renartsworldfashion.com\/blog\/you-give-you-receive\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1638903619,"updatedAt":1638907054,"publishedAt":1638907054,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":24757,"name":"RenartsWorldFashion"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/aidjonepsyxdzqe745wl0wcqkie6zqiu8r3o6jy6esyv4wyv.png","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/aidjonepsyxdzqe745wl0wcqkie6zqiu8r3o6jy6esyv4wyv.png.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/aidjonepsyxdzqe745wl0wcqkie6zqiu8r3o6jy6esyv4wyv.png.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":8047,"title":"How to overcome your painters\u2019 block","url":"\/blog\/how-to-overcome-your-painters-block\/","urlTitle":"how-to-overcome-your-painters-block","division":24757,"description":"I would like to encourage you to pick up your paint brushes and get over your painters\u2019 block.","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/inspt2tth5vfkqku88yz6jmj11h1ia1twa0opulmeb4qdmoc.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/inspt2tth5vfkqku88yz6jmj11h1ia1twa0opulmeb4qdmoc.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":8206,"title":"How to draw a mandala without a compass - An easy step by step tutorial!","url":"\/blog\/how-to-draw-a-mandala-without-a-compass-an-easy-step-by-step-tutorial\/","urlTitle":"how-to-draw-a-mandala-without-a-compass-an-easy-step-by-step-tutorial","division":24757,"description":"Creating a mandala can seem daunting, both if you are a beginner or already have some experience in drawing or painting!","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/stywjlgzgj9j7qimbwwymfutijiegbeucpsrziw5i0rd5or2.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/stywjlgzgj9j7qimbwwymfutijiegbeucpsrziw5i0rd5or2.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0}],"labels":[]}
