PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

This week has been an exciting week of glassblowing in a week long intensive class with others who also love glass, and it’s a great feeling of camaraderie with others.  I have made friends and learned many great skills.  I learned a lot about myself this week that I can work well with others, that I can go with the flow of things, and I can face criticism and not take it personally.

Glassblowing is the perfect metaphor for the spiritual path.  We do not get too attached to any piece of art work because we can lose it instantly without warning.  When we lose our work, we try again and try to do it better.  We learn from our mistakes instantly because it is necessary in the success of completing a piece of glass art work.

As I watch myself grow as a glassblower, I am learning lessons just like in my spiritual work.  Every mistake is a lesson I learn that makes me a better glassblower.  Every failure is the stepping stone to my next stage of my artistic growth.  Every effort I make whether technically or artistically is a way to learn something new and important about myself in this art form.

I feel extremely blessed to be able to do this form of art work, and as I proceed in my growth as a glass artist, I also grow spiritually as a person.  May you find these blessings in your life, Brooke (Copyright 2014 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
