What my art is teaching me this season.

I’ve been noticing a shift in my energy. In my Art. In what I need - and what I want to let go of.

This season, my art is teaching me:

to move slower. - I’m not behind.

to stop trying to push - Old modes of operating no longer work for me, my body or my mind

and instead.....listen. - When I put faith in my souls knowing. It will show me my next steps.

Let this be your Reminder.

Let beauty walk with you. Let art be a companion to listen and trust your own hearts knowing.

Originals and Prints are available www.ashleyabbs.com

Start here, love.
You hold so much.

You move through your days with strength, care, and a quiet ache for something more.

This space is for you.

Through art, acupuncture, and words, I offer beauty as medicine.

Stillness as sanctuary.

And a gentle way back to yourself.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, in transition, or just tired of holding it all - start with my free 5 element Quiz.

It’s a map inward. A mirror, A beginning.

Take the quiz - (link in bio)

Then stay awhile. You belong here.

When we are initiated into change and transformation we are dipping our toes into the Water Element. While this space is exactly where we need to be it can often bring a lot of feelings and usually more questions than answers in the beginning.

This is natural. When we’re on verge of opportunities or directions because older models no longer fit or serve us, it’s easy to become overwhelmed or anxious. If you find yourself here, I invite you to lean into your rituals.

Rituals can serves as a container, borrowing the structure of the Metal Element, to hold the potency of the water energetic. They provided firm entry and exit points to prevent us from feeling lost or becoming overwhelmed by emotions that we may not be fully ready to feel.

At the same time they allow us to connect to our heart, our should and the initiation to experience and develop relationship to something bigger than ourselves. So that we may seek greater understanding of ourselves and hopefully arrive at the next steady step that propels us towards our destiny.

You won’t regret your time spent in this space. If it has been some time since you’ve convened with your rituals take this as your invitation. The answers you seek aren’t outside of you. You will find what you need in the space within.

What actions, intentions or ritualized activities help you foster sacred space to engage with your soul?

Identify and actualize.

Share in the comments some of your rituals and practices.

Writing a book changes you. From the first moment of deciding that you are going to write a book and then to actually follow through with it and make it a physical manifestation of your efforts. Words and devotion that get to live outside of you, it’s no easy feat. And Stephanie, her knowledge and her unique medicine so deserves to be shared far and wide.

I had the pleasure and honour of supporting Stephanie during the writing of her first draft and mentoring her in finding her authentic voice. I’m so proud of her. I’m grateful to have been able to play a small part in the process.

Go get your copy, support emerging authors and love on this book in a big way. You won’t regret it.
