Have you ever had one of those nagging problems that seemed to drag on and on? You know, the kind of problem that try as you may, you couldn’t quite get to go away. The kind that had your blood pressure rising, your stress levels soaring, and the tension in your head was just too much to bear.  Have you ever gotten to the point where you just gave up and said, “ I can’t do it. God please help me.”? Most of us have been there at one time or another. And usually when we get to the point where we actually give up and turn the problem over to a higher power, somehow the situation magically clears itself up. Did you ever wonder why? Well, let me explain . . .

It has long been said that we all have Guardian Angels. These benevolent angelic beings are with us from the moment we are born and they stay with us throughout our entire lives. Their only mission is to help us lead happier, healthier, more joy-filled lives. They act like angelic psychotherapists, guiding us and directing us toward the people, places and things that will benefit us most … things that will bring us the most joy, and make life seem more worth living. Simply connecting with these benevolent angelic beings of Divine light energy is healing in and of itself.

But here’s the catch, because the world we live in is ruled by “free will,” these angelic beings can only intercede on our behalf if we ASK them to.  So when you finally reach out and say, “Please help me” you are actually “asking” for their assistance and thereby giving them permission to let the magic of their assistance begin.


The good news is you don’t need to wait until you’re at the end of your rope to ask for divine intervention. You can invite the angels into your daily life and ask them for help before things get out of hand, enabling you to better manage life’s ups and downs. You see angels can provide you with guidance and wisdom that is beyond what your logical brain can process. Think of it like this … the angels have a 10,000’ view of life, while we have about a 100’ view.  From their vantage point it is far easier to see the total picture, both backward and forward in time, enabling them to offer you sound guidance and direction.

Want to tap into this angelic wisdom? Well, you can. We all have the ability to have a two-way conversation with our angels. Asking them questions is the easy part; interpreting their messages is where it can get a bit dicey.  An easier route is to seek the assistance of someone who actually channels angels. These “celestial networkers” have honed their divine communication skills over time and know how to connect with the angelic realm. They can bring forth the angels’ answers to your questions for you. Their methods run the gamut from clairvoyantly channeled messages to angel card readings to angelic healing art.

The latter is a relatively new process that not only brings you verbal messages, but also provides you with an angelic portrait that heals you at a deep emotional level.  This new form of “angelic healing art” is created by visionary or mystical artists who work closely with the angelic realm.  Mystical Artist, Lori Daniel Falk, who co-creates Angelic Message Portraits™ with the angels, tells us she is, “divinely guided as to the exact colors, symbols, and images to place on the page that will reach you at a heart level, enabling you to heal what is no longer serving you.  The angelic energy coming through my hands gets embedded into the page, creating artistic pieces that serve then as emotional healing tools. It is what the angels infuse into the art that will truly heal your heart and in turn your mind, body, and soul.”

   
This angelic art therapy is part of a whole new genre of “healing art” that is being born as we speak. Michael Samuels tells us in his book Creative Healing, “The concept is catching fire, is awakening in people's spirits… Artists, musicians and dancers are realizing their imagery has meaning…. that their imagery heals them, others, their neighborhood, or the earth."  There’s even a new organization that serves as an international forum for anyone interested in the healing potential of art.  According to the group’s founder, Marion Weber, "The Arts and Healing Network honors and supports the emergence of healing artists and recognizes them as essential catalysts for positive change."

The impact of the arts in the process of healing was recognized early on by Hippocrates, who understood the importance of uplifting his patients' spirits.  Over the past 10 years, there has been a dramatic growth in the use of the arts in medicine. Renowned institutions such as Duke University Medical Center and Dartmouth Medical School are doing research on the subject of art as a healing tool.  In fact recent scientific studies show us that art heals by changing both a person's physiology and their emotional attitude. According to the Art As A Healing Force organization, when a person experiences art, “The body's physiology changes from one of stress to one of deep relaxation, from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration. Art and music put a person in a different brain wave pattern; art and music affect a person's autonomic nervous system, their hormonal balance, and their brain neurotransmitters.”  http://www.artashealing.org/ahfw3.htm

They also tell us, “Neurophysiologists have shown that art, prayer, and healing all come from the same source in the body, they all are associated with similar brain wave patterns, mind body changes and they all are deeply connected in feeling and meaning. Art, prayer, and healing all take us into our inner world, the world of imagery and emotion, of visions and feelings” … the very place where divine angelic guidance and inspiration occurs.


Put simply, art creates hope … Being in the presence of angels does the same. Angelic healing art then, combines the best of both worlds. It intoxicates the senses, while uplifting the spirit. Angelic art is quite simply a wonderful emotional healing tool.  It calms the mind, soothes the soul and enlivens the heart. It carries a benevolent, loving energy from the angels that works with people at a deep heart level to bring comfort in time of need, as well as inspiration, hope and motivation.

And so it is at this time in our evolution that this type of healing art is ever so needed. It cuts through the mental layers of ego and self and goes straight to the heart center, which is now and always has been, the main power plant of the body, for without it all else cannot function. We have always understood this on a physical level; the time has now come to know this on an emotional level. It is time to fully embrace the reality that the emotional heart center of the body … the very place where the soul is seated …  heals all, creates all, manifests all. To heal the physical we must first heal the emotions that created it.  Angelic healing art does just that.




Artist’s Statement
Wow, I’m an artist. Not only that, I’m a Visionary Artist. How I got here is as big a mystery to me as it is to anyone?  

I spent most of my adult life living someone else’s idea of who and what I should be.  I believe that “someone” was the media, or pop culture, or whoever created the super woman syndrome complete with the notion that women should try to emulate men in the workaholic professional world, while simultaneously being the perfect wife, doting mother and home maker extraordinaire.  I gave it my best shot, but somehow it never quite seemed to be a good fit.

Shortly after the Harmonic Convergence took place in 1987 (a time of awakening for many) I began to see the light.  Anything and everything of a spiritual nature began to intrigue me.  My divine communication channels began to magically open, much like a bud turns into a flower in the spring. This “opening” very slowly and ever so gradually transformed me from a type A businesswoman into a visionary artist who creates mystical angel art.

I began channeling messages (receiving telepathic communications) from my Mom who made her transition to the other side in 1980. Yes, I know most folks channel angels or spiritual guides, and I do that too, but you see my Mom is the spokesperson for this incredible Divine team that I have the honor of working with.  Her messages guided me to become a Spiritual Life Coach (which I didn’t even know existed), and then to teach angel communication classes (to empower others to do what I was doing with her) and most recently her messages were to DRAW. 

I resisted at first, but eventually decided to humor her. And then it happened … I sat there in front of my altar with a blank piece of paper and the angelic messages started pouring in … they told me what colors to use, what to draw, where to place it, what it meant.  It was the most incredible thing I've yet to experience in this lifetime.  The angels told me to use this medium to bring forth their messages … an "angel reading" if you will … with an artistic message that goes straight to the heart.

And so that’s what I do.  I invoke the angelic realm and ask them questions like, “What does the world need to know NOW about world peace, or attracting a soul mate, or creating a harmonious family environment,
or stopping the sexual abuse of children?”  Then I listen to, and record, their words of wisdom. And when their message on the subject in question is complete they tell me not only what to draw, but how to do it.  The colors, the symbols, the energy coming through my hands, all gets embedded into the page, creating artistic pieces that serve as emotional healing tools. It is what the angels infuse into the art that truly heals your heart and in turn your mind, body, and soul. 

As I write this I can hear the speculation these words must stir up.  Trust me when I tell you, I was a bigger skeptic about all of this than anyone.  So I decided to  test the concept on my deepest and darkest wounds.  When the healings began to occur within me, I could no longer deny what was happening.

By opening to this process I have seen magic occur before my very eyes.  Today I’m no longer living someone else’s version of reality; I’m now doing what I came here to do. Together, with the help of the angels, I have the honor and joy of creating Angelic Message Portraits™ that bring a feeling of wonderment and
profound healing to all who view them. 

Plus, with no formal artistic training, I’ve created art that’s been so well received it has found homes in over twelve countries around the world. Now that’s magic in and of itself.
