I once heard a story about a yoga retreat where many of the participants fell ill because of the food. It wasn’t a food safety issue. It was an energy issue. The head chef was described as being angry and resentful. Because of this, his energy was transmitted into the food, which in turn, made people sick.

The opposite can be true too. Imagine how delicious a home-cooked meal tastes when it’s made by someone who loves you. It can be a simple dish, but there’s something beyond the spices and ingredients that make it unforgettably delicious. The secret? Love.

I wanted to see if the same could be true- if positive energy in the spiritual realm had the power to influence the physical realm. Through the medium of art. Specifically, alcohol ink.

Before beginning, I paused. My heart was filled with so much love for this person, and maintaining that high vibrational level, I began dropping gold ink and mixing it with alcohol on black yupo paper. In the background, I played the song they felt represented their spirit. I mixed and moved the ink and alcohol with the heat dryer, allowing them to flow and settle with the vibrations of my own energy field and their theme song, “Pachamama” by Beautiful Chorus.

The results were surprising.

And at the same time, not surprising.

This special individual embodies strength, resilience, grace, and growth- all which were represented through this piece.

Our intentions carry specific emotions and energy. What you feel emotionally manifests into the physical. Whether that’s with food or art. You have the capacity to create illness or wellness. Remember this.
