Oracle of Stillness: Grandmother Owl Dreams of Waking

This Oracle of Stillness Woven Woman is ‘ Grandmother Owl Dreams of Waking’.

She is one of the mixed media woven pieces in the Oracle of Stillness.

In the Oracle of Stillness series, there is a sequence that is based on images that arrived in dreams.

In the first dream, I dreamt I was in a gorgeous forest and the moon was full.

I looked up and there above me, was a shimmering Being who whispered that she dreams of waking. “How would that be?” I asked her.

“Like this” and she opened her wings wide, and it was like being immersed in the Northern Lights.

“And, like this” and she opened her arms wide, and I felt embraced by loving tenderness and ferocious Maternal passion with a cascade of images that flowed by so quickly that it was staggering.

“This is my coat, my Grandmother’s Coat- WEAVE THEM!!!’

– it was like a jolt of electricity shot through me.

And, then, she opened her eyes, and said:

“I am watching and waiting and dreaming”.

Oh my word! I sat bolt upright in bed and started sketching.

I had to make a loom that is specifically for weaving the Grandmother’s Coats (I’ll be showing photos of the other Grandmother’s Coat series soon).

I actually built and re-built the loom for each of the Woven Women who have emerged from the Grandmother’s Coat dreams.

The Grandmother’s Coats are still vibrating in me, and I have a feeling that they are going to be showing up in more new ways…. We shall see what dreams unfold of them and in them!

I’m posting all the images here on www.tottietalkscrafts.com

Sweet Dreams!

Oracle of Stillness-Tapping into the Source-meditation

This is ‘Tapping into the Source’ from my Oracle of Stillness-Weaving Coherence in the Chaos series of Woven Women.

Her gift is to ‘Fly High, Dive Deep, Wings Wide, Heart Balanced at the Still Point’.

A couple of years ago, I saw a lovely video of a father and daughter dancing a gentle, powerful hula that felt like it was calming the waves. Their harmony and balance were awe inspiring.

That evening as I was meditating, I lifted my hands and started moving them slowly, rhythmically and noticed that I was tracing the infinity symbol in the air.

I felt calm flowing in.

I have incorporated this into my meditation practice ever since, with a few additions of breath and words and visualizing colors.

Here’s what I do, and you are most welcome to join me:
Hands to heart, breathing easily, gently.
Say ‘Yes’ and invite your hand(s) (or finger) to draw an infinity loop in front of you, close to you.
As you continue to draw the infinity loop (a comfortable sized one) add the words:
“This” “Too” “And” “Now” in any order.
Acknowledge the things that terrify, dismay and horrify you as if they are waves on a monitor screen….
Keep repeating: “Yes” “This” “Too” “And” “Now” in any order as you gently notice the frightening waves of any color on the screen starting to lift away from the screen and dissolve.
And, now, notice that feelings of awe, soothing, calm, and awareness of the Great Mystery and the Great Beauty rise up.
Breathing gently, Continue to draw the infinity loop and add the words:
Keep repeating: “Yes” “This” “Too” “And” “Now” in any order as you gently notice the lovely waves of gentle color on the screen forming in response to the healing words. They might take shape.
Welcome them into your heart. Repeat, often. ❤

Recently, I have been delighted to learn that the infinity symbol is used by many people who work with energy & meridians & other healing modalities. I love it. Synchronicity!

I am working on posting images of all the Oracle of Stillness figures here on Tottie Talks Crafts, so stay tuned. ❤

Enough-This Too Shall Pass from the Oracle of Stillness series

The word, “ENOUGH” is a word of power….

It reminds us to be observant- it can signal a sense of contentment, of knowingness that this place, this time, this feeling is lovely and perfect in and of itself.

AND- It can also signal a sense of dismay, of knowing that this relationship, this place, this time, this feeling is totally wrong and must end.

Both ‘enough’s are turning point moments…. One tells us to bask in the perfection of the moment, and the other insists that action must be taken. Both are profoundly healing and life affirming.

We have to move into the ‘Still point’ in our hearts and minds to process each of the ‘enough’s and then

to remember that: This Too Shall Pass. Life moves in swirls, eddies and flow… this too shall pass….

Enough….

This Woven Woman mixed media weaving feels like one of the most important pieces in my “Oracle of Stillness-Weaving Coherence in the Chaos” series.

The ‘Oracle of Stillness’ exhibition is at the Harcourt House Gallery from Oct 17- Nov 22.

Webs of Connection a Woven Woman mixed media piece from the Oracles of Stillness series

Thanksgiving is my most favorite holiday of the year- Canadian Thanksgiving feels very much like a Harvest celebration, as we turn to face the oncoming winter (which has actually arrived for some of us already… shudder) and say heartfelt THANK YOU for all the amazing goodness and miracles that still, astonishingly, surround us!

So HAPPY THANKSGIVING to everyone here in Canada, and also I hope that there will be beauty and peace and harmony flowing out in unexpected and lovely ways all over this precious planet!

I was thinking about which of the Woven Women in my “Oracles of Stillness-Weaving Coherence in the Chaos” series of mixed media tapestries, wondering… which one says thank you most clearly, and I realized that ‘Webs of Connection’ pretty much says it all….

Each of the pieces in this series is a kind of blessing, a kind of healing and I hope that people will feel the loving intention that is woven into every stitch of them!

They are at Harcourt House gallery (opening Oct 17- everyone invited 🙂 )
