Esther Law, Asian Intuitive Painter
30th December 2015, that is where I begin my art of survival. Words can hardly described my feeling, it was truly an amazement process to discover this wonderful blessing from God. A gift of LIFE from our almighty.
I did not expect that I could create all these beautiful painting. All my drawings were drawn under a very serene, calm, joyful state of mind.
It did not require much thoughts, all those strokes, stricks, shapes were formed through my intuition. It just came naturally to my mind, and my mind leads my hand in laying down all thoughts that came through my intuition.
This was my very first painting. HEARTS
I am very much in love with the color and heart shape that I created.
This painting gave me the motivation to paint more.
I photographed the painting and get it posted to my wechat, I got positive feed backs. Some friends were asking me, are you sure this is your painting, I said Yes.
I continue to explore my intuition by doing more paintings… the more I draw, the more I discovered the power of our inner thoughts…I got to understand more about the coordination in between my thoughts, my intuition and my action.
There was time that I got impressed with the title that I created. All these words just came to me without any hard thinking process.
I start getting to research about my process that I have gone through.
I start to find out the why through google, I discovered that there were people in other parts of world were going through the same process that I went through.
I found out that my pattern of painting is called Intuitive painting. These are the answers I discovered through my research.
Intuitive Painting
Intuitive painting is a powerful intuitive, spiritual and creative practice. And like all practices it requires a fierce devotion.
It’s designed to transform your relationship to your intuition.
To devote yourself to hearing it.
To truly listening to it.
To actually knowing when it’s speaking to you.
To learning to tell the difference between your intuitive intelligence and your analytical/ judging mind.
And then to develop a solid allegiance to your intuition by following it and always doing exactly what it says.
No matter what, it is the practice of meditating with a brush in your hand. As you release your attachment to judgment and planning and some future goal the practice allows you to open more to presence and spaciousness and self compassion. To the dream time and the invisible realms. To a deeper connection with the spark of spirit and your innate divine wisdom.
Intuitive painting is the practice of freeing your creative self.
It doesn’t teach you how to be creative.
You don’t need anyone telling you how to do that. But the practice shows you how to let go of things that get in the way of your full creative expression like perfectionism, comparison and the need for external approval.
It supports you in claiming the courage to explore and experiment, to make things up and take outrageous creative risks.
Intuitive painting is also a commitment to deep soul work.
To making what is unconscious conscious.
To finding your medicine.
To becoming more awake and alive. More whole. More real. More authentic. More you.
To developing an un-shakeable alliance with your inner wisdom and your inner healer.
This happens through the process of devoting yourself to the practice of entering into intimate communion with the inner world of your heart, your mind and spirit. And then willingly opening yourself to everything that you find there.
Not only what you want to see and feel, but embracing those qualities and experiences that stretch you outside of what is easy, comfortable and familiar. Which includes things like profound joy, intense pleasure, radiant brilliance, wild freedom and mega-watt power. And holding all of who you are in an attitude of of radical self acceptance.
And finally,
intuitive painting is devoting yourself to trusting in the life force and in life itself.
So many things about being alive are painful or difficult or scary. Or simply don’t turn out the way we want them too. And when we are confronted with those kinds of challenges our first impulse is to try to change or fix or resist them.
Intuitive painting teaches us that there is a holy wisdom in allowing ourselves to be led and guided by by whatever shows up on the page in front of us. To let go of the need for certainty and guarantees and open fully to the unknown.
To trust in things like your personal rhythm and divine timing. That going towards and surrendering to what we normally try to avoid and control will allow us to become even more fully alive.
