Acrylic on canvas.

This is the painting I worked out here in the jungle during my #healingvisionsretreat. It’s called “Golden Boy Let it Go” and it’s about allowing the negative entity within to purge out his unnecessary vibes, in a healthy way, through surrendering and ceremonial practices. When I finished my piece #shadowworkpainting in Vienna, I questioned if the shadow itself could be purged. From what I’ve learnt here, it can’t, as the mind is part of our humanness, but we can learn to deal with it better, I know I am trying my best to stay present and forgive myself when I’m not.

A new painting for the new year, yet I made sure to finish it before 2017 was over, to leave that energy behind. I painted most of “Golden Boy Let it Go” at my #healingvisionsretreat in the jungle of Peru and it helped me express both the burning pain of the detachment process, but also the joy of allowing your inner demons to release a good chunk of the traumas n negativities accumulated in my life. Had fun using less colours, n focus on shapes. It helped me ground, but I think I’m done with my detox n purging process, for now. Since I’ve let go of a good bit of my past, I have the open space available to be filled again with nothing but blessings from the universe. The work never ends, but I feel my growth and am so optimistic on this new chapter!
