“IF YOU TAKE THE TROUBLE TO REALLY LISTEN WITH YOUR SOUL AND WITH YOUR EARS-AND I SAY SOUL AND EARS BECAUSE THE MIND MUST WORK, BUT NOT TOO MUCH ALSO-YOU WILL FIND EVERY GESTURE THERE.” MARIA CALLAS

IN 2004, I STARTED MEDITATING AND TOOK A WORKSHOP WITH DR. GLENN MORRIS ABOUT INITIATING THE KUNDALINI PROCESS. KUNDALINI IS DESCRIBED AS A SLEEPING, DORMANT POTENTIAL FORCE IN THE HUMAN ORGANISM. IT IS ONE OF THE COMPONENTS OF AN ESOTERIC DESCRIPTION OF THE "SUBTLE BODY", WHICH CONSISTS OF NADIS (ENERGY CHANNELS), CHAKRAS (PSYCHIC CENTRES), PRANA (SUBTLE ENERGY), AND BINDU (DROPS OF ESSENCE). AT THE SAME TIME, I ALSO READ CAROLINE MYSS’ SACRED CONTRACTS: AWAKENING YOUR DIVINE POTENTIAL. DURING THIS PERIOD I WAS EXPERIENCING A SERIES OF EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL SETBACKS. MY DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL LASTED A COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT DURING ONE FULL MOON IN DECEMBER 2007, I WENT TO THE BEACH AT MIDNIGHT WHILE LISTENING TO MARIA CALLAS’ “TURANDOT”.  BEING ALONE ON THE BEACH, WITNESSING THE MOONLIT WAVES DOING A BEAUTIFULLY SYNCHRONIZED DANCE WITH THE MUSIC, I REALIZED THAT THE WAY OUT OF MY DARK NIGHT WAS TO GO INWARD; THAT THE ENTRY TO THIS SOURCE IS THROUGH THE HEART AND NOT THE MIND. YOU HAVE TO SENSE YOUR INTERNAL PATH. AS I UNDERGO THIS PROCESS I COME TO THE REALIZATION THAT I AM DIVINE. “THE SEEING HEART” IS A SERIES OF DRAWINGS AND PAINTINGS THAT ACTIVATE THE PRIMAL ENERGY AND CONVEY THE JOURNEY THAT IS TAKING PLACE INSIDE.
