"Emerging Immersion" Notebook

Artist: Muktha Ananda

Inspiration: Michelle De Nicola

Muktha Ananda's Artist Statement:

“Emerging” seeks to convey the evolutionary process of Michelle’s journey, as well as her devotional relationship with life, music and her dreams.

The Lotus is an ancient symbol in spirituality and illumination - honoring the perseverance and grace of the blossoming amongst muddy waters. It represents beauty, prosperity, fertility, eternity, purity and divinity, infinite potential energy and connection to source.

Dolphins are highly intelligent, playful and closely in tune with their instincts. They symbolize protection and resurrection, giving the additional meaning of rebirth and renewal.

The Mermaid rising speaks to the transmutative quality of Michelle’s journey. Michelle’s song, “We Rise,” was a big inspiration in the making of this piece. Thank you Michelle, for embodying your lyrics: “We will rise, united strong, together we can heal the world of all the pain and hate and fear, because Love stands here!”

These minerals were used in the making of this oil painting:

Cinnabar is transformational; it can direct one on an internal quest of self-discovery. Connecting and shifting the life-force energy into alignment with the higher self. Bringing one more in touch with the spiritual body, allowing the spiritual body agency rather than any distractions of the mind.

Hematite is a powerful grounding stone, helping to refocus thoughts and actions that matter most, while guiding one on the right path.

Orpiment resonates with the personal will. It activates and aligns the will with the emotional body. Increasing energy levels, as well as focus, strength, and confidence.
