Life Is Art, Art Is Life: Creatrix Matrix Activation: Harmonia Practice DIY Workshop

One thing I can say with certainty is each and everyone of us is Creative and we all are Artists. 


But at times our creativity can wane or get lost, especially in challenging moments of despair, chaos, trauma, and uncertainty. This year has certainly been one doozy of one, almost like an archetype year of trauma and transformation. Many of us are needing an Art lifeline or at least a big dose of inspiration. In these moments we need to hop off the trauma of twitter, breath in the calling of your Muse and breath out the stagnation and the fear.  During these crazy times, as Life Artists we need a gentle reminder to go into our center and remember that Art is our greatest teacher, guide, and healer. 

Art is how we will get through this. Art activates our personal empowerment. Art aligns us with the powerful force of the Creative Universe. We then rekindle that we are Co-Creators of our reality.  Here at the Harmonia Institute we created the Creatrix Activation. Which is a holistic transformative art process to support you and to inspire during these challenging times.

What is a Creatrix Activation?

A Creatrix is typically a woman (but also can be a man) who is deeply connected with her inner worlds, her imagination, and the Feminine Source of her Creative Power. She is akin to the Priestess Archetype. In which She aligns with the forces of Nature (Gaia), her inner domain, deep intuition, creativity, and knowing.  She gives rise to her deepest desires, gives birth to Art, to ideas, and life of all kinds. The Creatrix dares to dream courageously and with an open heart develops a deep relationship of trust in Her intrinsic co-creative connection with the Divine and the Natural world. She nurtures herself, those around her and the planet. She is also the guardian and protector of the magical essence of life. To activate the Master Creatrix one must become an Alchemist, accepting, working with, and transmuting one’s own shadow side. This is done with the processes of the Art of Transformation. Whereby she will become a radiant light, standing in her power, whereby living freely, fully, and creatively. 


Activate Your Creatrix Matrix Activation DIY Workshop

In this Harmonia Practice we will activate your Creatrix Matrix! I want to introduce you to a magical way to upgrade your creative powers with the holistic Harmonia Practice. This practice will weave together Self-care and Soul care. It will clear paths to euphoric visions and clarity of the soul purpose of your intentions. Through Harmonia Practice you will embody your Art and dance with the Divine in fluidity. 

The Harmonia process activates intention, embodiment, the I Am Presence, the power of your creative thought, empowerment of yourself as a Creatrix, a Creator, a Receiver, and Giver.  

Key Principal 1: Embrace Your Creatrix  
To begin the evocation of the Harmonia process, embrace the knowing and mindset that you came here to create your own experience. Acknowledge in your heart that your thoughts and intentions are powerful tools of transformation. Now, breath into your core and remember that you are a Creator and a Creatrix.  

Reflect on that when you make Art with intention you are building a powerful bridge between your subconscious and conscious minds. Your subconscious communicates through symbols, pictures, archetype’s, and with metaphor. Through Harmonia you are also building circuitry between your left and right brain. Your right brain creates in the visual and the left brain creates in verbal. Throughout this practice you are bringing harmony and balance to both sides of your brain and your being. As well as through Harmonia you are also building a bridge between your heart, mind, and soul. Lastly, creating Art actually anchors your visions, dreams, and desires into the Earth plane via form.  Art opens the door to the Universal and the Personal. It aligns you with your Soul purpose. This Harmonia practice is a gentle reminder of why are you here on this Earth and in this time. It is a beautiful path for transformation, alchemy, and healing.  

Key Principal 2: Art As Oracle

Art is your superpower and it opens up the doors to your inner worlds. Always remember that the Art that you create is a manifestation of your internal being wanting to be seen, be heard, acknowledged, and to be witnessed. Your inner self is your greatest teacher, healer, and guide. Your Muse has great wisdom, when activated and honored. Your Art is also your own Oracle. When you witness your Art, you are building a relationship with it and it becomes your insightful council. As well as your Art is a portal that connects you with the mysteries and with something larger than yourself.  Art is your intrinsic birth rite and it is your gift to yourself and the world.  

Are you ready for epic enchantment? It is time to yelp a BIG YES!

The Harmonia Practice Creatrix Activation Processes

Adorn Your Temple  

Step 1. Create Sacred Space for Creation and Meditation

(This part is best to prep your Creation Station ahead of your Harmonia Practice and to get your supplies ready to get into the flow of the processes.)  

Create an intimate space for your Creatrix. I love crystals, candles, special fabrics, tarot cards, sculptures and ambient music to enhance and activate this portal with your highest mojo. You can burn sage to clear the energies as well in your Sacred Space.

Gather your supplies into your sacred space:

Watercolors, paint brush pen, paper or journal for creative writing, print-out mandala page, Create or buy the Creatrix Matrix Activation Essential oil blend~ which is a blend for you to embody courage, inspiration and strength. You will also need a carnelian crystal, music, and lastly an open heArt.


 Creatrix Matrix Activation Essential oil blend and the Crystal Benefits For Your Harmonia Processes

The blend contains vetiver essential oil ~ it  is also referred to as the “Oil of Tranquility” and “The Fragrance of the Soil." Vetiver Essential Oil is beneficial for soothing anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, depression, and inability to concentrate or remember.

Lavender: Renowned for its calming and relaxing properties, many people use Lavender oil for emotional health because it promotes soothing feelings of calm and self-awareness, while easing feelings of tension. Some studies suggest that the chemical properties of Lavender may make it useful for reducing sad feelings.

Rosemary essential oil: Rosemary oil assists people going through an extreme amount of pressure and transition. It helps them during their confusion and difficulty, even their willful ignorance or lack of wanting to deal with a situation for fear that it is too much to handle.  

Carnelian crystal:
Like the unexpected fire of a sunset, or the first flash of autumn brilliance, Carnelian captivates. Its bold energy brings a rush of warmth and joy that lingers, stimulating and empowering. Known as a stone of motivation and endurance, leadership and courage.

After your create your sacred creation space continue with the process

Invite the Divine to Dwell Within Your Sacred Space. Embody the Divine in every cell of your being.  

Purify Your Intention. Get clear on what you at your core you want and desire through your senses, your Chakra system, intuition, and your body
  
Step 2. The power of Essential Oils and Crystal Work. 

Engaging your senses and subtle energy body.
Connecting within you the gifts and healing powers of Mother Earth.

  “
There are many interesting ancient beliefs surrounding these oils. Some say they are the “spirits” of the plants, trees and flowers. Known as the original medicine of our ancestors, they are believed to have spiritual, emotional, mental and physical benefits. Science supports these beliefs. According to the National Institutes of Health, the plant oils send chemical messages to the brain when inhaled or applied to the skin and absorbed into the body.” states Rewireme.com


**Tent your Creatrix Activation Blend on your wrists and third eye, breathe in deeply. Grab a Carnelion Crystal. Diffusing the oils will also be magical.
Close your eyes imagine breathing in a golden shower of light from the Universe and breath in a red golden river of light from the Earth into your being. Gently chant the Mantra Lila Hum, Shreem, Ram, and Dharma Hum.

* Lila Hum means – I am playful. Shreem – I am all possiblities.  Shree Ram – I embody happiness & vitality. Dharma Hum – My life has purpose and 
meaning.

Tap gently on your check bones and say I am a Creatrix Matrix. Onward to the gently practice of Yoga.

  Step 3. The power of Yoga and mindful stretching
The goal of the Yoga Poses is to drop down fully in your body into your heart and to quiet your inner critic ~ the mind chatter. The Yoga postures prepare you to go deep into your art making process.  All are very basic poses and please do each pose at your own pace. Breathe into each pose to release any blockage.   I found that when I was doing the one Yoga pose, I intuitively shifted into other poses stretching as I feel into my body. Feel very free to make the pose yours. Improvised yoga poses encouraged, move towards what feels good to your body.  

 Get into your body and breath do three easy yoga poses.
A. Begin by placing your Hands on your Heart/Raise palms straight into the air, pull your palms down to heart and and breath into your heart.
B. Shoulder Shrugs
C. Next Kali Mudra. Breath and “Dwell in the possibility”
D. Namaste pose and then rest your palms on your solar plexus. Breath in deeply.  

Purification Rituals Clearing and Unblocking Your Resistance  

Step 4. Shedding/Purification Thru Intuitive Writing.
Write down 3 things you need to let go of/stories/patterns/habits. For drama after you have let go and identified patterns, you can always tear up this sheet of paper in a radical action.
 

Step 5. Shadow Breath Work
Tune into the Root Chakra, Sacral Chakra, Solar Plexus Chakra, Heart Chakra, Throat Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, and your Crown Chakra. Breath into each center let go of desire for external validation/judgement and internal judgement. Let go of the Victim (To us) consciousness. Let go of the blocks to manifesting your potential. Let go of stagnation in your creativity, Let go of the illusion of separation. BREATH DEEP AND LET IT GO! 

Breath, Bring in, and Embrace you as your inner child. Imagine you have golden wings, extend them out and the wrap them around your being with a big hug. Bring in the Archetype of the Manifestor (By Us) & then bring the Archetype of the Channeler (Through Us) Energies
.
 

Channel the I Am Presence: Building the Connection with Your Higher SELF Through FLOW.  

Step 6. Get into the Flow with the number 8

Draw the number 8 automatically, do not let your pen leave the paper. Go slow and fast. Breath in the present I AM moment. Hold your hand inches away from it ~ feel and breath in the energy of Flow.  
*** Drawing the number eight automatically leads one into the flow of eternity. As you create the marking of the 8 through your breath into the space in between and with each exhale release any disconnection. Observe your thoughts like the wind and breath into the infinite possibilities. Celebrating the Chi, the Mana, the life force inside the palm of your marking hand, this majestic universe and beyond.   What happened? Do you lose track of time? Did drawing become an automatic process? If so, you just tapped into the flow. How do you feel?
How Does It Feel to Be in the Flow?

By Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi: Flow, The Secret to Happiness. TED Talk

Thousands of people from every walk of life were interviewed by Dr. Csikszentmihalyi and his team in order to identify the key components of the flow state. These seven points summarize how those interviewed responded that they felt when in the flow state:
You’re completely involved in what you’re doing: you’re completely focused and concentrated. There’s a sense of ecstasy–of being outside of everyday reality. There’s a great inner clarity: you know what needs to be done and you get immediate feedback on how well you’re doing. You know that the activity is doable, that you have the necessary skills to complete the task successfully. You lose your sense of self and all of your worries and concerns drift away. You lose track of time and you’re completely focused on the present moment. There’s an intrinsic motivation—whatever produces flow becomes its own reward.

Interestingly enough, the idea of flow came into being as result of research on happiness. Researchers began asking themselves: “What makes us happy? “As a result of this research psychologists realized that being able to enter the flow state–which is a very enjoyable experience–is a key component of happiness.  

Embody Your Dream: Ask the Universe to Support You  

*Step 7. Silently ask the Universe to support you. Now write down 3 of your Wildest Dreams.

Choose one and create a Sigil with it in the center of your Mandala. Study how to create a magical Sigil. HERE is a nice DIY description. This is how you will create your mandala.Tent the essential oils again breathing in deeply to core.  

“Art really has its source in the transcendent, the unmanifest field of pure consciousness, which is the unchanging, immortal field of all possibilities…When the awareness of the artist is in tune with this center of infinite creativity, his piece of art breathes fullness of life, nourishes the creator, the artist, and inspires his admirers with waves of bliss.”  -Maharishi Mahesh Yogi  

*Step 8. Creation

After you place your Sigil into the mandala. Intuitively start creating your mandala with your watercolors.  This can be a short process of 15 minutes or a long one. Ask  your inner and intuitive Self, when it is complete or not.

Afterwards creation gaze gently at your Art as Your Oracle ~ which is Witnessing. Typically, I set my new creation about three feet from me for more expansive vantage point and then I light a candle to my new Art.

Next ~ LET YOUR ART SPEAK TO YOU. Simply quiet your mind and talk with the Mandala your created.  Write for at least five minutes of about your new baby (creation.) Is there any new information about your Dream and its manifestation?

*Step 9: Reflection ~ How Your Art is a Mirror for Inner Reflection and Knowing

Reflect on these questions: How does your Art become a bridge between your subconsciousness and consciousness? Breathe in the Manifestor (By Us)  and the Channeler (Through Us) as one, then deeply breathe in Unity Consciousness (As us) ~ union of opposites. How does their integration bring you closer to Heaven on Earth? How does my Art anchor my dreams and desire into to form? How can I use my Art as a talisman to supercharge my dreams and desires.  

*Step 10: Gratitude Rituals Write three things you have received from your Manifest your Dreams Mandala? Place your Mandala in sacred place and spend time with it every day. And see your dreams come true!

  Ongoing Final Steps

*Do the Work, create a smart action plan to make Art your daily practice *Trust the process Receive, revere, and acknowledge how you are transforming
*Keep Your Vibration High Continue to build a relationship with your Art. Your Mandala is manifested and embedded with your dream, just like a golden talisman it is empowered with the Law of Attraction.
*As well as continue to cultivate your daily gratitude practice, to honor the amazing gifts that have come your way.
*Also, when your dreams manifest co-create a huge celebration with the Universe and give something  back to HER. I love to do a Terma. Which is a Tibetan ritual for giving back to Gaia.  Once my dream is realized, I take an intentional and meditative walk in Nature. I bring with me a crystal to give back to Mother Earth. When I feel ready and full of reverence I will give thanks to HER and bury the crystal in the ground.

    Muse and Artivist

    Lisa Rasmussen MFA is the Founder and Director of the Harmonia Institute. Lisa Rasmussen—artist, educator, curator, life coach, arts and healing practitioner, and art advocate—believes art can change and heal the world.

    Lisa is the Co-Founder and Practitioner of Artemis Sacred Journeys. Which women's empowerment retreats to Tinos Greece. Rasmussen also served as Executive Director and Co-Founder of Art 4 All People and AY Atelier Art, an international Center for arts and consciousness in Malibu, CA. She is also Co-Founder/Co-Director of the non-profit, Art is Moving and International Art Break Day, an annual community arts event that has been held in the U.S., India, Mexico, and West Africa.

    Rasmussen is an award-winning professional painter, who has been represented in galleries in both San Francisco and Los Angeles. As well as Lisa’s work has been in numerous solo and group exhibits and publications. For her painting is a very visceral, physical, and metaphysical process. Rasmussen’s paintings have been called abstract expressionism, with a spiritual twist. Her paintings reflect her holistic worldview and her deep connection with the natural world. For Rasmussen, art making is a transcendental experience. When she paints, Rasmussen taps into a force greater than herself; a force that creates through her. Each painting is a product of her dance with divinity. Through her process she hopes to invoke in herself and the viewer a deeper connection to the world within and around us through reflection and inspiration. Early on Lisa developed a thirst for travel and distant cultures. A key conceptual element of her artistic process is the study and travel to ancient cultures and sacred sites around the world. Some of her travel adventures include Nepal, Greece, Egypt, Peru, Ireland, and Brazil. She has also lived and taught English in the mountains of South, China, as well as she had studied antiquities, the Art of the Renaissance, and Ceramics in Florence, Italy.

    Rasmussen is also known as a pioneering and passionate arts educator. For many years, she has taught art to residents of under-served, at-risk communities. In 2006, she created the Transformative Art Program at a mental health institute in Oakland, CA for emotionally traumatized youth, ages 5-14. Her art therapy program to create public youth art installations and gallery exhibits garnered awards, grants and media attention.

    Rasmussen worked as a fine arts consultant at the prestigious Merrill Chase Gallery in Chicago and The Weinstein Gallery in San Francisco. She also managed The Red Door Gallery & Collective, a grassroots art-reach gallery in Oakland, CA. Rasmussen earned her BA in Sculpture and Ceramics and her MFA in Arts and Consciousness from John F. Kennedy University in Berkeley, CA. She earned several academic awards, including Graduate Student of the Year, in 2008, and Alumni of the Year, in 2013.
