Transference, 2007

I love this painting. I used to call it, ‘Mad at the Face on My Hand’, which I thought was funny because if I had a face on my hand I’d be pretty pissed. Especially if it talked a lot. I see this painting now as that little voice, that little face on my hand that is outside of my brain that doubts, that doesn’t allow good things to happen. You know that voice, it says things like, ‘I don’t deserve happiness’, or ‘I’ll never get my dream job’, or ‘I’ll never find my person’. That is the face on your hand, and I think we should get rid of that extra face. Let’s grab our stones (with the hand without the face) and prepare to be on the side of positivity towards ourselves from now on:

Let us ready ourselves.

Take a deep breath

Place your rock under the painting. Say silently:

I release any brain patterning,

subconscious or conscious thought,

or energetic resonance to the

idea that I have parts

Of myself that feel separate from the

Beauty of the universe, or resistant to

Wonderful things.

I allow.
