Letters Dear Sacha Mallor, Your art piece has generated a lot of feelings in me. But there is a certain mystery about your art piece, something I am not able to decipher. It's very beautiful yet there is something inherently sad about it.  The true meaning of the art is not clear to me, but it has generated a reaction. Dear colors, You are an explosion. Colors burst from you like lightening in a storm. You remind me of evenings spent watching the sky before a storm- how everything changed from pink to yellow to grey- how the air was saturated with moisture and spark. You are chaos and structure, softness and tight. You reflect as a storm that we feel within ourselves- harsh, vibrant emotion camouflaged behind fog. Reaching out. Thank you for showing your power. Dear art, You look well protected on the outside built with many layers. Very strong and a protector of all.  But on the inside you may not be the same.  You look fragile and tender just like us all. My dearest,

Awaken Prana Maya Kosha 1. Walk around the gallery.  Look for art or specific artworks that resonate with you.  When you determine which artwork this is, focus on its design, colors, and textures. Walk around the artwork, view the art from extremely close up, and then walk away and view the art from a farther distance.  Find a place in the room to close your eyes and visualize the artwork in your mind.  Reimagine the details, colors, and textures. 2. Still meditation a. Find a comfortable shape, close your eyes, place your hands palm up on your thighs, and begin to relax your body.  Take a few deep breaths, focusing on rolling your shoulders back during your inhale, and pushing them downward during your exhale, continuing through the spine and relaxing into your hips.   Take another deep breath in, again focusing on pushing your shoulders back, and a full exhale, pushing your shoulders down and feeling the motion continue down your spine, through your hips and into the floor.
