This painting is a doorway into the heart of what Faerie truly is about.

As you look into the Eye of Faerie's Heart, you can connect with what is at the heart of your own life. You can see into your life from a new perspective…one that offers you new ways of thinking… of feeling… and of living.

This painting is good to work with at times when you can't figure out what to do next. When you are stuck or bored... and you want a new way to look at things. It can also be helpful to look deeper into what your heart is truly feeling. In a way, you can use the eye as though it were a new lense for which you can look through to see your life from a different perspective… or to help you become clearer about the heart or essence of your life or life situation.

Technique: Look into the eye and ask for a new and more optimal perspective on what ever you are wanting to see differently or more clearly. Or you can ask to know what is at the heart or essence of a matter… or life situation…

Now as you look into the eye… imagine that you are looking through the eye. Stare into that eye letting your own eyes blur as through they were looking at something right behind the eye itself. Now open your heart and your mind…and let yourself know that you are willing to receive. Let go…of your thoughts and feelings… and just allow… as though you were receiving something into your heart [and/or your mind]… something beautiful…that offers you new ways of seeing your life… more of what is at the heart or essence of the living of your life. Don't try to figure out what you are receiving. Let go.

When you feel that it is time to stop, just re-focus yourself back into your familiar world.

If images or new feelings or new thoughts came… write them down so that you can come back to them later. Later as you look at what you have written, new ideas may come forward to help you understand the metaphors contained within your images, feelings, and thoughts… to open you to new perspectives… or to seeing deeper into the heart or essence of your life…or particular life situations.

If nothing came to you during the experience… that is ok. You just don't know yet, what you received. Some times the information moves into our subconscious before it reaches our consciousness. Or sometimes we just don't have the perception devices that we need to know what we have received. It takes time to build those skills. But the information that you received can show up in your reality.

Pay special attention to your day… what is said to you… what you see or experience… what you read… and so on. And think of what the metaphor in these incidences can mean for you… to help you see your situation from a new perspective… and/or to help you move deeper into the heart of the matter.
