I also have an online course on Udemy called ‘Expressing Emotions through Painting’ where I guide you through the steps to create a piece inspired by an emotion. I personally find this process very healing and validating. I find that with ‘negative’ emotions, using that pain to create something beautiful that others can relate to feels so good.

You learned some powerful lessons. I’m so happy for you! 🤗🤩😍 I resonate with slowing down and letting go of hustling. It’s difficult when you’re working for yourself and building your own forms of income but I realized that if I’m trying to create from a forced space then it’s not genuine and it won’t be successful. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you so much, queen! 🥰😍 Every day is a school day on planet Earth, 🤣😅! Yesssss! I knew you would also resonate with that! We have to trust that abundance is flowing effortlessly to us! I recently had a meditation that showed me 'abundance' as a really interesting visual! (But we can talk about that in person, hehe) Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏💖
@ you’re so right about trusting that abundance is effortlessly flowing. The energy of money comes and goes, moving like a current. I can’t wait to hear all about your visual 🤩
This was so powerful, vulnerable and inspiring. So grateful to receive the magic you're sharing and totally resonate. 🎉❤
@@unfoldingreflections awwww thank you so much queen!!! Glad you enjoyed!! 🙏🫶💖 what was your biggest lesson this year??
@SimonesBlankCanvas ohhhh. I think that I can trust my spontaneous choices and follow through with joy regardless of how my brain is telling me to be. Life as a moving prayer deepening 🫰🫰🫰 thank you for asking!! And stimulating this awesome conversation 💗
@@unfoldingreflections ooohhh I love that! I defo need to practice that more too! 🫶💖
@@SimonesBlankCanvas we all learn together for sure ❤️❤️❤️☯️☯️☯️
Haha, your eyelashes!! 🤣🤣

Blessed to still breathe every day 🙏 A roof over my head. Grateful ❤
@@brendagamba7826 agree! It’s the small things 💖🫶🙏
Thanks so much for watching! Share the lessons you learned this year! 💕💖💌
Love this! My biggest lesson was also to rest and be present more. :)
Thank you! Ooooh, that's a good one! Staying present is something I need to work on too!

Totally agree! Thanks for commenting and watching! :)
What are you grateful for today? Let’s share with each other in the comments! 💖🫶
You're pretty and smart
@@gungunverma5646 thank you 🙏
This had such a child-like energy and I loved it! Thank you for this reminder. Gratitude is super powerful ✨💫💛
haha, thank you! I'm definitely letting little Simone come out more now! She was silenced for too long! 🤣 I love gratitude! Such an underrated tool! 💖
@ free little Simone! She’s wonderful, fun and creative. This world needs more of her ♥️
@ 🤣🤣🤣 I love that! Thank you so much! 🙏🙏🫶💖
Love your art and videos! 🎉
@@ssang019 thank you so much, girl! 🙏🫶💖
Your awesome at painting!
@@ZofiaKalewska thank you so much!! That’s so kind of you! 🙏🫶
From looking at the final piece on the longer vid I get a sense of holding on tightly to life whether good or bad
@@AcestarArtworks wow! That’s such an interesting perspective! You’re making do a lil introspection 🤣😅 thank you! 🙏
This is something I really needed to hear. Thank you so much.
@@mslovem2m yeyyyyy! I’m so happy it resonated with you! 🫶💖
YOU are such a talented and beautiful being. I am so proud of you ✨💙✨
Awwwwww!! Thank you so much, Mark! That really means a lot! 💖
Oh and I wouldn’t want to change how sensitive and intuitive I am even though that means I can experience deep levels of heavy emotions, I can also feel extreme light emotions. It’s all powerful 🥰
Yeyyyy! I love that about you too! I'm also sensitive; sometimes it feels like a curse, but you're right! It's something to be grateful for! 💝🙏
@ yes, it felt like a curse for most of my life. The fact that we can both feel so deeply means we can also understand the human experience at a deeper level too. Which means we can also hold an immense amount of love. Yay us! 🤩
@@Cristinasintuition I agree, girl! 😍 It's a secret superpower!
This is such an incredible painting! I love all the colors and textures you used. I also loved when you said that emotions should be valued. That’s so true! Great video ❤❤❤
Awww thank you so much! 🥰 Yes, haha! It's defo easier said than done when you're going through suffering 🤣😅 but I try to remember to value them! 💖
Wow! This is so interesting. I love the textures!
Thank you! It's one of my most abstract paintings :)
Really interesting 😮
Thank you so much!!
Woaw! That is so amazing! You've convinced me to download some Dr. Joe meditations :)
Thank you! Yes, go for it! They're so worth it!
awesome!! really respect you for doing hands cause they are so hard to draw!!! so true about the attachment/control thing too <3
@@jeccavice9283 haha thank you, queen! They are so hard haha and I wish I wouldn’t keep being drawn to paint them! 😅🤣 right?! It’s so nuts!
wow cool story!! i have a little story too, so in 2021 when my meditation practice was on point and i was doing a ritual called 'the middle pillar' which is from hermetic philosophy (but i read dr joe's blessing of the energy centres and i thought it was very similar) the book i learned it from (high magick by damian echols) said not to both asking spirits/universe for stuff right away because the wont hear you unles syou are powered up by these rituals so anyway id been doing it daily for 3-4 months i felt really in tuned with spiritual energy and was like right im gonna give an advanced ritual a go.... so i had this problematic housemate at the time and my exbf was trying to find a new place which wasnt going well and really stressed cause of the situation. so i did the ritual and i asked for protection from the house mate and the house situation to be sorted out and $20K on the lottery lol. so the next day i bum into my landlord he goes are you ok you seemd upset the other day and i said well actually ive been having a problem with said housemate and he goes oh thats ok i just came here to give him this eviction notice he'll be gone by the end of the week - woah!! that same day that evening my bf texts me one of the places we already viewed and liked but didnt get, called him and said there had been a cancellation and did he want it, he'd said yes and was moving in at the end of the week! both the next day after the ritual!!! so the last one hahaha 2 days later the lottery came I WON.. $20 lol! However i realised months later that i had this subconcious like egoic thing where i didnt really want to win money bcause i wanted to work myself out the hole i was in and not have people be like oh she just won the lottery (cheers ego!!) so i think i blocke dit somehow. id never won the australian lottery before and never more than a fiver in uk - the fact is was $20 felt symbolic haha! i need to get back on the discipline with my ritualssssss! thanks for the inspiring video!! xxxxx
I love your videos! I’m sure this has been asked before, but do you sell any of your paintings? I’m a new subscriber so I’m not up to speed on everything. It’s all good if you don’t, but I had to ask. 😅😊 Really stunning work! Right up my alley 🔥🔥
@@Jareddg omg! Thank you so much! Your comment has made my day! 🥰🥰🥰 I am going to hopefully host my first exhibition next year where all of these paintings will be shown! If they don’t sell there, I’m considering putting them on Saatchi art online where I’ve sold a couple of paintings before! 🙂 I’ve sold here and there but never had the time to focus solely on art (I do now though, Yey! 🤩) Are you an artist too? Or just an art appreciater? 🤣
@@SimonesBlankCanvas You’re very welcome! I’m definitely just an art appreciator 😂 I unfortunately don’t have a strong creative outlet, but I do enjoy watching others paint. It’s virtually asmr to me 🙂I now have SimonesBlankCanvas to go along with Bob Ross 🤣😎 You seem to have a very sweet soul. I wish you the best with all your future endeavors and adventures. Definitely shoot me a message or make a community post if you list any paintings on saatchi!! ❤
@@Jareddg Awww I believe everyone is creative in their own way and it's just about fostering n loving that part of ourselves! Thank you, omg! Love Bob Ross!! Thank youuuu 🥺 that's so so nice of you! You too! Not many ppl interact on UA-cam, so know that your comment means so much! I'll defo let you know when I'm selling! 🙏
You're the best Simone!
@@K.Loves.You8 thank you!! 🙏 Do I know you in real life? I can’t tell from your UA-cam handle! 🤣😅
😍
Amazing! It makes me so happy when I hear stories about successful manifesting! Love your energy in these videos too 🥰 Is that specific meditation available on UA-cam? Or only available when you do his course?
Thank you so much!! It was so surreal when it happened! It's on Dr. Joe's website to buy, but I think this free UA-cam link is basically it! It's called 'Tuning into New Potentials'. ua-cam.com/video/rOP_CXz2rA4/v-deo.html Highly recommend! Lemme know how it goes! <3 Wishing you lots of abundance!
😮
I got goosebumps listening to this! What an incredible experience 🦋I really want to try this too
@@LumiLittleBird thank you! It was amazing! So unexpected and unlike anything I’ve ever experienced! I feel so blessed that it happened to me! 🥹 defo try it out! It was the pineal gland meditation that I did, but different meditations work for different people! 🤩
Such a great message Simone :D I feel the same about a bunch of my 'darkest' moments
@@PopCross thank you! Right?! I’m always so grateful afterwards! 🥰🥹
🫶🏼 I 100% agree with you! ♥️💜💙
@@michelledupuis123 thank you! It’s crazy how much the universe loves us and just wants us to be the best version of ourselves! 🥰
@@SimonesBlankCanvas I just want to say I absolutely adore you!! For someone as young as you figuring this out is so amazingly awesome!! 🤩💜💙💚🥰

We're you meditating or had a plant medicine experience?
@@Awakened_Vizionary I was doing Dr. Joe Dispenza’s pineal gland meditation and breathwork! 🙌🤩
I loved hearing about your mystical experience. It was amazing and so cool! 🤩💛
Thanks, queen!!
The most mystical and scariest experience I had was seeing my ex wife..
Hi, it's been a bit. Not in France anymore it looks. Nice to see your still painting.
@@ObscuredEntertainment no, Vietnam! Left France ages ago! 🤣🤣😅 thanks!!🙏
@@SimonesBlankCanvas Do you like it more than Thailand over there?
@@ObscuredEntertainment I had a weird time in Thailand! Imo, Vietnam is better for living and Thailand is better for holidays!
@@SimonesBlankCanvasThat's cool. I'm still working at Prang, 😄
@@ObscuredEntertainment I didn't realise who you were when I answered this haha! I thought u left?
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am manifesting a Dr. Joe event! Sending you love and light!
@@michelledupuis123 thank you for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it! You can do it! 💪 I’m going to post another video soon about how I manifested the money I spent back AND MORE from doing Tuning into new potentials daily! 😁 love and light right back to you too! 💖✨
@@SimonesBlankCanvas I’m excited to see your new Dr Joe video!! I was doing so good and feeling fantastic a year and a half ago half ago but then a bunch of traumatic events happened and I just wasn’t as committed to his work and then pretty much stopped meditating. But I’ve recently decided it was time to feel truly fantastic again. I’m meditating about an hour maybe 2 a day but want to do a minimum of 2 hours a day depending on my work schedule. I felt best doing 4 to 6 hours a day. I had surgery while I was doing his work and didn’t take any medication after I was released from hospital. I just iced the area I had surgery on and meditated. My Auntie is a retired nurse and called my son who is a nurse to make sure I was doing okay and wasn’t in shock from not taking the medication lol. Meditation and the breath work is the best medicine for our bodies, brains, heart and soul. (I believe we have 3 brains head, heart and gut in case anyone was wondering why I wrote brains 🧠). Thanks for responding back. Again I’m looking forward to hearing another Dr Joe story from you. 🙏🏼💙🦋
@@michelledupuis123 thank you!! I get it.. life gets in the way sometimes! (Or, we think it does hehe) Wow! That’s a lot! Good for you! I’m consistent, but only around 30 mins -1.5hrs a day! For me, the real work is during the day, constantly catching myself having thoughts that are the ‘old me’. That’s so cool that you went against the norm and decided not to take medication! That’s brave! The universe rewards bravery! I totally agree that we have all of the tools within us and meditation and breathwork are incredible! Let’s keep in touch! Would love to hear if you ever bite the bullet and decide to attend a retreat! 💖✨🫶
@@SimonesBlankCanvas I absolutely will!! Yes I am also constantly becoming aware of my thoughts and feelings. I do work at times with negative mindset people so I need to make sure I don’t join in with them. I try very hard to stay neutral and steer them in a more positive direction. Of course it doesn’t always work but at least I am doing my best to stay in a positive mindset. Also when I can’t get through to them I will say positive things in my head for them and it helps me feel like I’m being more true to myself. Does that make sense? 🤗🥰🦋
@@michelledupuis123 it’s such a journey, right!? That’s amazing that you are helping people too! And that you can make space between yourself and any negativity! 💖👏
Very great art. 👍
Thank you so much!! :D
так. згодна з тобою. але коли ти говориш ти не правильно наголоси чомусь ставиш. ти звідки?
Scotland 😅🤣
Your art is incredible and I love that there’s always emotion behind it ❤
@@Cristinasintuition thank you so much!! 🙏🙏 haha it’s always really deep and emotional! I honestly don’t know how to do it otherwise 😅😅
@@SimonesBlankCanvas good! Don’t ever change 🥰
You're fucking magic!
Thank you so much Mark! <3 I've just seen that you've uploaded a new vid and I'm SO excited to watch!!!!
