 Hello, beautiful souls. Welcome back to Art of Awakening. My name is Ona Christie. If you don't know me, I am a spiritual, intuitive, and visionary artist, and I'm going to be sharing the latest painting today. These paintings are really kind of messages from the Akash, and so there's some definite wisdom that's coming through here. This is the painting right here, and it's kind of like a spirit frog. And what I love about this painting is that it's so in tune with the season. Right now we're in the season of springtime in the northern hemisphere, and I can feel it. Right now we've got the trees where I'm at in northern Michigan, just about to bud out. Some of them are just starting to bud out. It's really a beautiful time and a time where everything is springing to life. And it's really kind of interesting the downloads that I'm starting to get around right now where we're at in just kind of this whole progression of the Great Awakening. I'm feeling like this is like a really powerful time to start to, if you haven't already, start to really visualize what you want to manifest, what we want the new earth to feel like, to look like. This is a powerful, powerful time for kind of bringing things into being. So let's take a look at this image and see what it wants to say here. First of all, the frog spirit, I did tune in and got a message from him. So maybe we'll start with that. And he says, abundance is coming. More abundance than you have ever known or imagined. The earth will spring forth her bounty, but it is going to look lowly, he says. It's going to look like hard labor, the labor of hands. With your hands shall you build the new earth, as verily as with your minds. And in fact, your minds and hands will work together, must work together in celebration of life. Recognize that to everything there is a season. We will be plunged into darkness and the bitter cold of winter. But remember that you carry the sun within your soul. Okay, I think this is super significant because I'm feeling like, and I think a lot of us are feeling like, then we haven't seen the darkest night of the soul yet collectively. And I'm particularly feeling around next fall, there may be a shift in that direction. And so I think part of what this is, is like to kind of keep it in perspective. That old saying that it's darkest before the dawn. And there are always cycles, right? So let's take a look at some of the symbolism that's showing up in here. First of all, we've got all the eggs. That's abundance, but it's also the eggs are the seeds sowing the seeds of something new. And so it's like the thoughts that we think now, the vibrations that we set in place now, the infrastructure that we're starting to think about or starting to build now, that's what's going to grow up into this fabulous new form. But it may take a while. Eggs are just eggs. They're just the very, very beginning. And remember that a lot of eggs don't, not every egg is going to make it, but there's going to be enough of them. That's why frogs are so abundantly producing tons and tons and tons of eggs. All right. So this is a great time to be just like, you know, feel into those ideas, those creative ideas. It's a wonderful, wonderful time to get creative. One of the best ways to do that, I think, is through the arts, all of the arts. As we start to journal, as we start to paint, you know, we're getting more and more in touch with our creator selves, okay? Because this is the visualizing part, right? And this is a way that we can dialogue with spirit, dialogue with our higher selves, and we'll be receiving these images or sometimes it's direct downloads. Sometimes it's like, oh, I need to do this. I need to make this Oracle deck. I need to write this book. I need to start this business. I need to do whatever, but that's tapping into our creative essence. And sometimes it's like we may have a ton of, ton of ideas, right? And so this is a great time to brainstorm ideas or just to kind of go with those ideas and feel into them, and there may be some of them that take hold that we really want to manifest or follow up on. Okay, so I think just a lot of these symbols, the eggs, the grain, is just always an abundance kind of symbol. I love the trillium up here. And when I first started working with this, the first symbol that came up for this part, and it came up pretty strongly, was actually the Star of David, right? And so, but then when it wanted to come onto the canvas, it got this really organic and bringing in the trillium flower. And that's one of the things we're doing because our ideas, and we work with these spiritual forms, these spiritual truths, right? But then when we bring them into form in the earth, which is what we're here to do as starseeds, as light workers, as creative master builders of creation, it takes a little bit different form, right? It has to embody somehow, right? And so this trillium shape, this trillium flower here is sort of like embodying the macabre, right? Which is this vehicle for ascension. And it's connected with that pineal gland right here in the third eye. So I love that flower there. And then here, what just really struck me right away was the shape of the stripe of the frog. Really, it always just reminded me of hands. And so I thought it was interesting that this frog was talking about hands and using your hands to build. This, again, is referring to, you know, it's so easy to stay up here in the spiritual realms and to spend your time in meditation and to kind of retreat from the world, which when the world gets crazy, sometimes we need to do that. Sometimes we need to just retreat, right? And pull in our shells. But what we're really here to do is to bring that beautiful spirit, you know, into the earth and manifest it. And to do that, I think that's what he's referring to with the hands, is that it does require us to take action. Now we're going to be, we're looking at, you know, there's a lot of things shaping up that we're going to be just given a lot of abundance. But I want to just, a couple words about that is that if you look at any wild animal, they're always acting on their own behalf, right? They're always acting on their own behalf. And it's only when an animal becomes domesticated when they're just given and given and given and given so that they don't have to really, you know, fend for themselves at all. And so there's pros and cons. I think this is a pact between the animals and humans. It's like they get taken care of, but then they serve us, right? And so with some animals, they actually get eaten, slaughtered and eaten, or, you know, just harnessed and used. And so they give up their wildness. They give up their freedom in exchange for just kind of being taken care of. Now think about this in terms of what's shaping up in the world here. There's going to be a lot of kind of... I've had several people come to me and super excited. It's like they're going to be giving us all this stuff. They're going to be giving us, you know, all this money. And that's great, but I think... And we can tap into that totally. Totally. And I'm not saying don't take it, but I'm saying be cognizant. Be aware if you're receiving something. Where's the energy of it, first of all? Feel into the energy and feel into, okay, how am I going to actually use this to my benefit in a way that is true to me, right? Because when you're receiving something, it's one of those little gift things, right? It's sort of this reciprocation thing that happens. And just be aware of, you know, can you take advantage of what's being offered? Because the sun also is something that offers without asking in return, right? So sometimes we're gifted out of grace with no expectation of return. And that's actually our inner soul will respond in a way that will end up with growth. This is the natural way of abundance that's there for us, right? And this is embodied by the sun. The sun shines out, it just radiates all this energy, and it's free for everyone on the earth. And then the plants come up, and the animals and everything has all this abundance in response. Just feel into that and feel into the other, which is like you're being given something, and there's this sort of undercurrent of, now you owe us, okay? And I'm saying this because this is a very, very common pattern of manipulation that can happen. And what can happen is that it ends up kind of pulling your energy out, just like, you know, you become sheep or cattle. And so when these apparent abundances come to you, it's all a matter of your mindset. Remember, we are free. We are sovereign, right? You are a sovereign, free human being. You were born to be free. And so you have this choice to receive or not to receive, and you want to feel into, is this going to be roping me into something that isn't aligned, or is this something that I can receive in an aligned way and then use, remember the hands, the mind and the hands, can I use this to build the new reality that I'm creating? You can receive and become dependent, or you can receive and use that as seed money, right? As something to actually create with and as something to just fund the beautiful new world that you're building. All right, so enough of that. And one more thing. These plants here, there's four of them. There's mint. They are mint. And feeling to the symbols of mint, they kept telling me that we represent the angels. We represent the archangels. And if you look at the stem of mint, it's square. So that's four sides. And also these leaves come in pairs. So that's two. And I thought that was super significant too, because two is this number of the master builder. Four is the number of the angels. And they are in full flower. And if you think of mint or peppermint or wild mint, this is a very, very protective plant, okay? It tends to repel pests. And so here it is just sort of circling this frog. Frog is a very vulnerable creature. It's got a very thin skin. It absorbs everything. It's very sensitive, okay? So it's beautiful to have this mint plant around it. It's sort of like this protective and also a very strongly just vigorous kind of plant. So this is a huge amount of life, a huge amount of vigor here that we can tap into. Okay, this is some of the energy that's on the planet right now that we can really super tap into. And it requires just really focusing on it, focusing on, you know, what brings me joy? Where's the light? What feels vibrant and good and alive? You know, can I really tap into that? How does that feel within myself? You know, how does it feel when I'm feeling joyful, when I'm feeling creative? Feel the vibration of that in your body. Feel what it feels like in your body, okay? Because this is, once you start really getting used to, how does this feel in my body? This is something when the sun goes down, when the snows come, when it gets cold and when it gets dark, you can remember and use that creative aspect of visualization within yourself and remember bring back to your body the feelings, you know, along your body to remember those feelings. That's how we hold vibration through the darkness, through the winter. And frog is another one, a good one for that because often they will be able to, you know, kind of freeze solid or just survive that deep freeze and then come out in the spring just fully alive and ready to proliferate. Okay. I will be posting this up for sale and I kind of feel like there may be one person that it will be speaking to and so I'll be putting up it as a print and as the original.
