With our daily lives always at full speed – so much to do, a home and little kids to look after – it’s so difficult to find the time to just sit down and start creating.
For me, it really helps to get quiet and take a few minutes to center in and connect with my intuition before I begin.
A great way of doing this is through oracle cards.
If you’ve never worked with oracle cards before don’t worry. You don’t have to have psychic abilities or have experience to work with them. You just need an open heart and the willingness to connect through this method.
If you have an animal card deck then this is a great way to start connecting with your animal spirit guides and integrating them more often in your art. Otherwise you can also purchase one for yourself and start getting acquainted with this method.
I’m positive that you will find it a refreshing and exciting way of working.
There are so many beautiful spirit animals decks out there, so it’s best to look around see which you are drawn to personally and go from there.
Listed here are the two I work with at the moment. The first is the oracle deck I used in this video, plus another one I work with often with beautiful and inspiring images.
Part one: finding Inspiration
So now that our spirit animal messengers have shown up, we can begin with our painting!
