ONCE AGAIN, I'VE SHOWN MYSELF THAT I'M THE FORCE BEHIND MY DREAMS TURNING INTO REALITY. AS LONG AS I CAN DREAM, I CAN MAKE THOSE DREAMS A LIVING, BREATHING TRUTH.
THOSE WHO TRULY KNOW ME UNDERSTAND THAT I'M A HIGHLY EMPATHETIC INDIVIDUAL, IN TUNE WITH THE ENERGY THAT ENVELOPS ME. I EMBRACE MY SPIRITUAL SIDE AND CONSTANTLY SEEK GROWTH, TRAINING MY MIND TO EXPAND BEYOND ITS BOUNDARIES.
I CAN STILL VIVIDLY RECALL MY VERY FIRST ATTEMPT AT MEDITATION, A VENTURE INTO UNCHARTED TERRITORY. HONESTLY, I HAD NO CLUE WHAT TO EXPECT OR WHAT MEDITATION HAD IN STORE FOR ME. BUT AS A NATURALLY CURIOUS PERSON, I'M ALWAYS UP FOR NEW EXPERIENCES AND OPEN TO WHATEVER THEY MAY BRING. THAT INITIAL MEDITATION SESSION WAS INTENSE, A WHIRLWIND OF THOUGHTS BOMBARDING MY MIND, LEAVING ME DAZED AND UNSURE OF HOW TO NAVIGATE IT ALL. YET, AS THE SESSION DREW TO A CLOSE, I SENSED A SUBTLE SHIFT WITHIN MYSELF, A CHANGE IN HOW I FELT.
TIME PASSED, AND AS SOMEONE WHO PREFERS TO BE IN CONTROL, I OFTEN FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO LET GO OF THINGS BEYOND MY GRASP, THINGS I COULDN'T CONTROL. HOWEVER, THROUGH MEDITATION, I HAD AN EPIPHANY: THE ONLY ASPECT OF LIFE I HAVE TRUE CONTROL OVER IS MY MIND—NOTHING ELSE. THIS REALIZATION FREED ME, MAKING ME MORE ADAPTABLE AND OPEN-MINDED. IT WAS THROUGH ARTISTIC CREATION AND MEDITATION THAT I TRULY UNDERSTOOD THE MEANING OF FREEDOM. I DELVED INTO VARIOUS MEDIUMS, USING THEM AS VEHICLES TO EXPRESS MY THOUGHTS AND EXPERIENCES WHILE MASTERING THE ART OF CONTROLLING MY MIND AND EMBRACING A BROADER PERSPECTIVE.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE DAYS BRIMMING WITH JOY, BUT I'VE ALSO COME TO APPRECIATE THE PAIN AND STRUGGLES I'VE ENDURED. THEY'VE TAUGHT ME TO VIEW SITUATIONS FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES, ENHANCING MY UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE'S COMPLEXITIES. ONE OF MY CHERISHED DREAMS WAS TO HAVE MY OWN ART STUDIO, AND I MADE IT HAPPEN. FROM THERE, I ASPIRED TO CURATE MY OWN EXHIBITIONS IN A GALLERY SPACE THAT GRANTED ME THE FREEDOM TO EXPRESS MY ARTISTIC VISION. THAT DREAM, TOO, BECAME A REALITY. HOWEVER, I YEARNED FOR MORE—A DESIRE TO HOST SOUND HEALING MEDITATIONS WITHIN MY SACRED SANCTUARY.
FINALLY, ON JUNE 15TH, 2023, MY TEAM AND I ORCHESTRATED A TRANSFORMATIVE EVENT—THE CONVERGENCE OF SOUND HEALING AND ARTISTIC EXPRESSION. OUR GALLERY SPACE TRANSCENDED ITS PHYSICAL BOUNDARIES, TRANSFORMING INTO A SANCTUARY WHERE INDIVIDUALS SOUGHT SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES AND PROFOUND HEALING. THE ATMOSPHERE BUZZED WITH EXCITEMENT, AN ELECTRIC SURGE OF ENERGY FILLING THE AIR. AS THE VIBRATIONS OF RESONANT SOUND BOWLS, ANCIENT SHAMANIC DRUMS, AND SACRED SEEDS REVERBERATED THROUGHOUT THE SPACE I HAD METICULOUSLY CRAFTED, A POWERFUL WAVE OF RELEASE AND INNER PEACE WASHED OVER EVERYONE PRESENT. IN THAT EXTRAORDINARY MOMENT, I FELT DEEPLY CONNECTED TO EACH AND EVERY PARTICIPANT. AFTER THE SESSION, WE GATHERED, SIPPING BLUE BUTTERFLY FLOWER TEA AND INDULGING IN A PLATE OF FRESH FRUITS, SHARING OUR THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS.
THE FOLLOWING MORNING, AS I STEPPED FOOT IN MY GALLERY SPACE, MY HEART OVERFLOWED WITH LOVE. THE ENVIRONMENT FELT PROFOUNDLY DIFFERENT, AS IF EVERY INDIVIDUAL HAD BEEN HEARD AND ACKNOWLEDGED. MY ARTWORKS ADORNING THE WALLS ACTED AS REFLECTIONS, GUIDING VISITORS TOWARDS LOVE AND PEACE. ANOTHER DREAM HAD MATERIALIZED, AND THE LESSONS I HAD LEARNED IGNITED A BURNING DESIRE WITHIN ME TO SHARE AND ASSIST OTHERS IN FINDING THEMSELVES IN THE PRESENT MOMENT—THE ONLY MOMENT THAT TRULY MATTERS. OUR HEARTS AND SOULS BRIM WITH LIFE, AND AMIDST THE CHAOS OF AN EVER-CHANGING WORLD, WHERE IGNORANCE THRIVES AND SENSITIVITY WANES, WE CANNOT CONTROL EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES. YET, WE POSSESS THE POWER TO MASTER OUR OWN MINDS.
WITH GREAT ANTICIPATION, I LOOK FORWARD TO HOSTING THE NEXT SOUND HEALING MEDITATION, EAGER TO MEET NEW FRIENDS AND BE A PART OF THEIR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY. JOIN ME AS WE EXPLORE THE BOUNDLESS REALMS OF ART AND SOUND, UNRAVELING THE MYSTERIES OF OUR SOULS, AND EMBRACING THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF THE PRESENT MOMENT. WARM WISHES, YOUR ARTIST LIORA REDMAN
