Guiding Spirit Design - Shamanic Portraits

Shamanic Portraits

From our earliest history, we have sought spiritual signposts to mark our journey through life. For people all over the planet, it was the shaman who provided a channel to the guiding spirit forces. From the cave paintings in France to the totems of the Northwestern American tribes, the shamans, as healers, created art to help seekers manifest their intentions.

Our tools and dwellings have changed, but we continue to face physical, emotional and spiritual challenges. During those times when we feel tested by life, it is still immensely helpful to have a graphic reminder of our spirit guide's message. That is why I have combined my classic training as a painter and illustrator with my ongoing study of shamanic practices to create Shamanic Portraits for individuals.

GALLERY

A Shamanic Portrait is a glimpse into our divine self, the self that understands our true purpose and our special talents. It is a personal portrait of your spirit guide's message to you. Within it you will find the inspiration to make the choices that lead to a healthier, harmonious life.

I invite you to learn more about how a Shamanic Portrait can provide you with a deeply personal and spiritual signpost for your life's journey. The best place to start is by viewing Shamanic Portraits I have created for others in the Shamanic Portrait Gallery.

Enjoy,

CHAKRA TOTEM GALLERY
These portraits are created in the same way as the shamanic portraits but with an emphasis on the chakras*. Each chakra is represented by a totem which can take many different forms, most of which are animals. These are then arranged vertically as they appear in the body.

Why a portrait of chakra animals? What I have found is that we can have an incredible dialog with these animals. They can help us understand the issues related to that particular chakra or area of the body. I use my own personal chakra totem art to remind me to check in every morning and see how I feel in these energy centers as part of my morning ritual. These animals can be called forth throughout the day when we need their medicine for a particular event or situation that is challenging. Listening carefully to the messages of these beautiful guides can be very rewarding. Click here to order a chakra totem portrait.

*The word "chakra" is a Sanskrit term meaning circle or wheel. These specific areas on the body help maintain health and balance of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of a person by regulating the energy.
