Each painting is to be created specifically for the person, persons, group, church or association that requests these. I choose to paint the Twelve Divine Virtues as they speak to my heart ...

"Sharae is a fantastic Intuitive Angelic Medium where she is bringing through messages from the Angels in her paintings to help uplift humanity. I know from having spoken with her many times on what she "sees" and the energies that swirl around her, that she is, in fact, bringing a healing balm to the many souls that want a feeling of Angelic presence, and inner peace. She works from the heart center, and cares deeply about uplifting humanity. This, I have found, is one of her greatest motivations, and as a result, her work is entirely inspiring and uplifting, as well as beautifully filled with Angelic messages and energy. Both she and her work are treasures." ... Barbara Rose, Editor, Inspire! magazine (www.borntoinspire.com)

Angel of Comfort ... The Story

"Angel of Comfort" ... The Story

I am an Angel artist and several weeks ago while listening to the late night news, a news story came on that really touched my heart. On the way home in the wedding limo ... a drunk driver caused a horrible wreck, resulting in the loss of a child and the limo driver. This story stayed in my mind. A few days later, a woman emailed me requesting my help. She wanted to know if an Angel painting could be created for this family. I immediately knew who the family was. I heard a voice say ..."Yes, you can help ... Create an Angel of Comfort for her painting ... their energies are needed here." I emailed the woman and she immediately commissioned the painting.

The painting took on a life of its’ own. Upon delivery, the woman emailed back saying this was perfect and just what she had envisioned to help this family. I know my paintings help others all the time and had never thought of them helping in this way. The voice is still saying "There are more to help". I am researching grief and loss, thus the Angel of Comfort Gallery was created.

In my research, one of the definitions that I found really struck a chord with me. "Grief is the reaction to loss." Losses can range from loss of employment, divorce, pets, social status, a sense of safety, order, possessions, to the loss of the people nearest to us including friendships and relationships. Having experienced several of these losses myself, I would never have described the pain that I was going through as grieving unless it was the death of a loved one or pet. When I thought about what I had experienced during these times I had a light bulb moment ... I realized the pain felt no different. I was actually grieving. This put a new comprehension on what I had been told ... "There are more to help" ... and why the Angel of Comfort Angel paintings will help so many.

Grief is grief and loss is loss and our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies respond the same with a deep and profound sense of loss. This has opened within me a new understanding of the work I have been given and why this new additional door has been opened on the path of my spiritual journey.

The bible verse in Matthew 5:4: "Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted", keeps running through my mind. It is through the mourning that healing takes place. This is the way releasing deep pain was intended by God, with the promise that comfort will be and is provided. God sends His Angels for all things, for we are dearly loved and cared for and never alone.

A whole new understanding of grief and loss.

Healing for the Indigo and Crystal Child



Healing Art for the Indigo and Crystal Child


I have had a strong affinity to the Indigo Children for quite some time. I personally, have a grandson that fits all the criteria for the Indigo child. He is gifted, talented and possesses a warrior Spirit. As I began to understand more about the true purpose in the Indigo child being here on Earth, I realized how very crucial it is for us to support the Indigo child. A light to keep burning, their specialness needs to be recognized and accepted, their spirits calmed, balanced and restored and exalted...for they are our future. They are the wayshowers and the wayclearers for the Crystal child that is now coming in behind them...the gentle spirits. The Crystal child is also sensitive and easily recognized by their happy spirit and the all knowing large eyes characteristic of these little ones. These Crystal children also need their spirits calmed, balanced and restored on a daily basis. Music and Art is a must in their environment. Gentle beauty and peacefulness is like fertilizer to the garden for these two special types of children.

As always, I am delegated by my inner knowingness and my connection to the Angels that now is the time for their help to manifest in the physical reality for these children through my Angel paintings. I have been instructed these children have an additional Angel assigned to them at birth in addition to the Guardian Angel we all have. This Angel watches over them and assures their spirit of the importance of their life's mission at this particular time in our planet's evolution. This physical likeness of their Angel helps to stabilize their personalities and is recommended the Angel painting be hung in the room where they sleep and recharge from the day's stress of everyday living. These paintings all have a specific purpose and are completely individualized for each Indigo child, Crystal child and Indigo teen and Indigo Adult.
It is my honor to be able to assist these children through the gifts that God has given to me and once again the artist is on a Divine Mission with a passion that comes straight from the heart knowing this is what I am here to do.The passion for this new work is being fed from the spring in my heart that surfaces and manifests and moves out like the ripples on a pond.

It is a new day and new art for a new age.

~ Sharae~

Empowering Children Using Affirmations

By Dumari Dancoes (http://www.childrenlights.com/)


(as featured in the Children of the New Earth online magazine (August 2005 issue))

“I can do this. I am smart,” I heard my four-year old say as he was intently focused on building a new puzzle. I smiled knowing this positive self-talk would help him accomplish his goal. A few minutes later, I heard an enthusiastic, “I did it!”

Have you ever used positive self-talk to help you feel better? Have you used affirmations to assist you in creating a positive attitude or achieving a specific goal? Did it help you? Positive self-talk or affirmations are used to help you feel better, create positive attitudes and achieve desired goals. In this article, we will look at how to create empowering affirmations and fun ways to introduce them to children.

Our self-talk has an undeniable effect on the attitudes and outcomes in our lives. What we think, we create! Our thoughts, words and beliefs are powerful creating tools that are at work all the time, whether we realize it or not. Add emotion to these thoughts, and they are manifested into physical reality that much faster. This applies to all of us, grown-ups as well as children.
Affirmations are positive statements about who we are, and what we can become and experience. They help us focus on what we want. The key in using affirmations effectively is to have them evoke positive emotions within us. At an energy level, the vibration of our emotions makes the universal Law of Attraction work for us, attracting experiences with similar energy vibration to ourselves. Similar to the phrase, “When it rains it pours”; it is the same concept. Only in this situation the focus is typically on negative events cascading one after the other, but this truth exists in all situations. This is why it is so important to monitor and choose our thoughts as much as possible.

When our children are feeling down, angry or upset, using affirmations and positive visualizations can change their focus from what they do not want to what they DO want. Changing their thoughts to positive, happy ones, puts them in a good vibrational place to attract that which they desire.

When we use affirmations and positive self-talk, our children learn how to do this for themselves. Affirmations work very rapidly with young children because they still remember the truth of their inner power, abundance and love. Reinforcing these positive thoughts and feelings gives children the self-confidence, positive attitude and beliefs which help them create joyful experiences.

CREATING AFFIRMATIONS

1. Empowering affirmations are always stated in a positive way. For example, “I am smart.” Instead of, “I am not dumb.” Stating affirmations in the positive puts our focus on what we want, rather than on what we do not want.

2. When making affirmations, write and say them as if they already exist. For example, “I am a fast runner,” not “I will run fast.” When we state in the present, we start creating the outcome now. Alternatively, when we say, “I will,” we are expecting to receive what we are stating some day in the future, which will never arrive because the Universe and our subconscious mind always create in the Now.

3. We can make affirmations especially powerful when we put emphasis on the words “I AM.” The words “I AM” call the creative aspect of God within us. Encourage children to use esteem-building “I am” statements like “I am creative.” “I am helpful and caring.” To reinforce “I am” statements when talking to your children, you can substitute “I am” for “You are”. For example, “You are creative.” “You are helpful and caring.”

4. Keep affirmations short, simple and clear. The shorter the better because this makes it easier to remember and repeat.

5. Evoke positive emotion. When affirming, imagine a specific scenario related to the affirmation; involve as many senses as possible until you really feel good inside.

EMPOWERING AFFIRMATIONS FOR CHILDREN

Affirmations should be personalized for each child depending on their age, vocabulary comprehension, and unique needs and interests. The following affirmations serve as guidelines that you and your children can customize to meet your needs.

Self Confidence:

TIME FOR AFFIRMATIONS!

Following are FUN ways to introduce and reinforce positive affirmations with children.

“My Affirmation Chart/Collage”

Visual reminders of happy and positive thoughts make it easier for children to focus on what they want to experience. An affirmation chart on the wall is an effective and constant reminder that reinforces what your children desire in their life. They can see and/or read their affirmations every morning and every night before going to bed.

Have your children make their own chart. They will need:

- A large piece of paper, 11 x 17 inches, or poster board.
- Magic Markers or pens, either black or colored.
- Images (pictures, photos, magazine cut-outs) that help your children feel good.
- As many wonderful thoughts about themselves, as they can imagine.


My Affirmations Chart

· I am great.
· I am special.
· I am loved.
· …


“My Affirmations Box”

Your children can have their own special affirmations box filled with encouraging, joyful thoughts. Each morning, they can pick an affirmation to focus on that day from their affirmations box. You can spend a few minutes with them to create a visual image for their affirmation, to get a feeling for it, and to say it aloud with meaning.
Your children can also make their own affirmation box to make it more special to them. You can get a simple small box at a crafts store and have your children decorate it.

They will need:
- A medium size box (should be big enough to hold more than 40 slips of paper).
- Decorations for the box (magic markers, paint and brushes, glitter glue, etc.).
- Pieces of paper (index cards cut in fours).
- Images (pictures, photos, magazine cut-outs) related to your child’s affirmations. (optional)

After the box is decorated, have your children (or you, if your children are too young to write) write the affirmations on the slips of paper. The affirmations should come from your children, but you can offer some ideas from the affirmations in this article. It is important that they only choose affirmations that feel right to them. Adding images that your children like helps them feel even better when reading the affirmations.

“Let’s Sing!”

Songs are a fun way to reinforce affirmations. Songs are repetitive and evoke emotion: two key factors that make affirmations more effective.

You can change the words of a song your children like with the affirmations, or you can make up your own song. You can introduce the new song to your children by first singing it yourself. After having you sing your new song happily several times, they will start remembering the words and maybe even singing it in their heads or out loud.

You can sing the following song to the tune of “Three Blind Mice”.

I am Love. I am Love.

I am Peace. I am Peace.
My day is full of Fun, Love and Peace.
In all I do there is Light and Cheer.
Love and Peace.
Love and Peace.

“I am Joy” (Tune: chorus of “Jingle Bells”)

I am Joy. I am Joy.
I am Joy today.
I am Joy, I am Joy.
I am Joy all day.

(Possible variations: change words to “I am Love”; “I am Light”; “We are God”; “We are One”, etc.).

Some of my children’s favorite affirming songs we have made up…
- “I am happy. I am healthy. I am wealthy. I am wise. God’s love flows through me now.”

“Read Affirming Children’s Books”

Reading children’s books where the characters use positive affirmations and have a positive attitude are a great way to show children how others use positive self-talk to create a happy outcome.

Some examples of this type of books are:

- The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper

- The Affirmation Web, A Believe in Yourself Adventure by Lori Lite

- I Turn to the Light, A Book of Healing Affirmations by Connie Bowen

- I Like Me by Nancy L. Carlson

“Bedtime Meditations”

Reading affirmations out loud at bedtime is a sweet and wonderful way to connect with your children. Your loving voice will bring much comfort to your child. You can either speak positive thoughts softly to your children while they are falling asleep or you can record them a tape with their favorite affirmations.

You could start by saying, “My beautiful child, it is now time to rest. I love you. You are loved. You are healthy and strong. You are smart. You are blessed. You are safe. You make friends easily. You are helpful. You are perfect just the way you are. You are kind. You create beautiful and happy experiences for yourself. It is easy for you to be happy. You are peaceful…” You can change these affirmations to personalize it to your child’s needs. You may also add descriptive images of your child experiencing happy events and succeeding at things you know she wants to accomplish.

You may also record the affirmations. This allows your children to listen to your loving voice whenever they need it. They may play it at bedtime, rest time, or when needing to feel better. When recording affirmations for your children, is best to use “I am” statements.
You can also play affirmations that have already been recorded. A good affirmations CDs for children is Indigo Dreams by Lori Lite. This CD is designed to introduce children to breathing, visualizations and affirmations. Another beautiful CD is Children of Light, Affirmations, Songs, & Toning-Meditation by Heather Macauley. Both these CDs are recommended for children ages 2 ½ and older.

BE A ROLE-MODEL… AFFIRM YOURSELF!

As parents, we are our children’s most powerful role-models. We can help empower them by using positive self-talk ourselves. Using affirmations that reflect self-confidence, love, trust, and abundance to create our own reality is the best example we can give our children. It is up to us to provide children with tools they can use to empower themselves and counteract the negative and self-limiting thoughts that bombard them on a daily basis. Affirmations, combined with positive emotions, are a powerful way to help us and our children manifest a joyful life.

Keys to Successful Affirming:

Affirmations work best when we are very relaxed, such as falling asleep, waking up or meditating.
Include a mental picture which evokes emotions to go with the affirmation.
Repeat affirmations often during your day.
Use different ways to affirm: read it, write it, visualize it, speak it, sing it, and dance to it.

Today's Children-Adult Indigos, their Time to Shine



by Jennifer Hoffman


This generation is known by many names, including Indigo and Crystal Children, Star Children, Light Children. Whatever name they are known by, they are a generation that we have never seen before and they have special needs, gifts and talents. The Crystal and Indigo children represent the new, higher energetic patterns that are arriving to change the Earth's vibrational frequency.This new series provides information on these children and the wonderful gifts they bring to the world.

Many of the adult Indigos had children when they were young as they are from the generation for which that was normal. At this time, they are finding themselves alone, empty nesters, as their children are leaving home to pursue their own lives. These adult Indigos are only in their forties and are ready to start the next phase of their lives, now that they have raised their families. Many of them have been through the corporate chaos that begin in the nineties and have experienced several job losses. For them, the concept of lifetime employment is not part of their reality. They know that the world of employment is no longer stable and that they have to ensure their own financial survival. The layoffs and reductions in force of the last ten years are a warning and more is to come. What does this mean for adult Indigos?

The adult Indigos' parents generally had a single job, one career track from which they retired and then pursued a quiet life. That has all changed now and the adult Indigos are well prepared for those changes. Although they tried to follow the corporate track, many knew that it wasn't right for them and they didn't fit in and could not find or enjoy the success that others seemed to fall into so easily. Their independence and entrepreneurial spirit got in the way of the need to follow someone else's rules. Now many are looking in other directions, pursuing a dream of self-employment in a wide variety of fields. Some enter the holistic or spiritual field, but many others find a unique niche that they can pursue to build a more stable and enjoyable work life. Even with adult children at home, they aren't ready for retirement; this is their time to shine.

If you're an adult Indigo and are beginning to feel that your 'nine to five' job is deeply unsatisfying, you're responding to the energy shifts that are calling adult Indigos to start the businesses that will employ the Indigos that are now reaching adulthood and ready for the employment market. You know, because of your own experiences in the corporate world, how businesses should be run and you will create work environments in which the incoming Indigo generation of workers can thrive. If you feel like you're ready to begin exploring this avenue, start now because the time is right. The Universe will support you and you will know what is right for you when you feel so passionately about a particular line of business that you are ready to put your heart and soul into it. Your corporate experience has given you the knowledge that you will need to run your own business. Ask for the Universe's guidance and support and then go for it. The next generation of employees, many of them Indigos, is waiting for you.
