"Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead". Oscar Wilde

The heart Chakra is the centre of your deep bonds with other beings, your sense of caring and compassion, your feelings of self-love, generosity, kindness, and respect. This is the reason why I was drawn to add this powerful symbol to my painting. Whilst creating this piece I felt only loving energy.

Something drew me to this symbol and I found out that the 'Aum’ sounded in tonoscope (an instrument used to create patterns corresponding to different sounds) creates a geometric pattern much similar to that of Sri Yantra. I thought Wow, I have to include this in my painting to give the piece maximum power.

A unique, one of a kind piece of art made from individual cut out handwoven silk petals and delicately placed genuine Swarovski crystals on a pyramid of dyed wooden beads to create this spiritual Flower of Life.

Beautiful colourful floral Swarovski crystals are also dancing around the centre maintaining the geometrical harmony. Acrylic paint is used to create a water colour effect background with Indian Shisha mirrors decorating the edges.

When I created this piece my mother was very present in my heart. In the centre is a large camp fire (symbolises togetherness or breast) and sitting round the fire are people which is a symbol of togetherness. Surrouding the family are lizards (a symbol of regeneration) and snakes (represent healing, transformation, life changes).

All of these symbols are significant as my mother was suffering from breast cancer and thankfully she is 100% healed. The amazing thing is that I was not aware of what these symbols meant, until I researched the meaning afterwards. This is really where you see the true power of creating a mandala. Each mandala is a photograph or mirror of what your soul is really feeling.

Review

Do you know those times where your life under goes major changes? A real rollercoaster? I was experiencing just that (and still am) and I needed desperately something that would cheer me up, something I could say about 'That is me, that is what I need'. And then a very good friend from the far away past (high school) pointed out to me the works by Sunsine. I looked through them and my eye fell upon a great Mandala made in Aboriginal dot style, with fresh colors jumping into the eye. And I realized 'That is me, I want that one!'

So I got into contact with Sunshine, asked if she could ship to Israel, which was no problem, so all was arranged real smooth. Now the Mandala is hanging in my living room and it gives me great joy. Besides the freshness of the colors, the more you look at it the more different shapes and figures you find, people, butterflies, swirls and probably more I haven't discovered yet. It is beautful and people who see it say what I thought: 'Eric it is you!'

Sunshine is a very talented artist and her name speaks for itself, she brings sunshine into peoples life. I feel I also got myself a new friend, not just a piece of art.

"What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter - a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue". Henri Matisse

These seven chakra symbols are vital to our health. Negative feelings hamper the spin of these chakras, resulting in sickness and disease. A chakra is a vital energy center that resides in our bodies, that is not detectable by most modern medical means.

This painting is influenced by my curiosty about Native American wisdom. The Native Americans consider the bald eagle and the golden eagle to be sacred. As eagles are the highest flying birds they were seen to be nearer to the Creator. The meaning of the Eagle symbol was to signify courage, wisdom and strength and its purpose was as the messenger to the Creator.
