I was told it was World Writing Day. I was otherwise engaged but created the space for a short Sanctuary poem - White Winds White Clouds. Lovely, thank you, dear energy mind!

When I heard that October 8th was World Octopus Day, I became very excited - and Octo arrived not long after ... and kept on coming :-)

GoE Trainer Auk Murat from Malaysia has been busy this Sunday teaching participants the value of learning how to help themselves with GoE Modern Energy techniques.

Auk writes: "The one hundred participants felt the differences before and after using Modern Energy techniques. They felt the difference as they raised up their energy. They felt more open, mind become clearer and calmer - plus they felt they now know how to solve their problems. They were eager to register on my next classes to learn more."

... of the very happy energy variety :-) Painted over the course of 6 nights around the time of the Harvest Moon 2019. 1: Don't Worry - BE HAPPY! |2: Be HAPPY - AT WORK AND PLAY! | 3: BE HAPPY - HOLIDAY! | 4: BE HAPPY - PARTY TIME! |  5: BE HAPPY - FLOWERING | 6: BE HAPPY - HARVEST

So it came to pass that the idea arrived to do a symbol hybrid called Art Solutions - and let the energy mind decide what needed an art solution right now.

GoE trainer Auk Murat in Malaysia continues to do a fabulous job teaching staff from big corporations how to reduce stress and increase productivity using Modern Stress Management.

This week Auk has given a presentation to 150 members of staff from Allianz Indonesia. In November she's also running a Modern Stress Management Foundation training to go into more detail.

Sometimes, a metaphor comes hopping along and has a story to tell. Here is der Glueckspilz, the Magic Mushroom and the Magic Mushroom Fairy Tale.

I was going to make this illustration with an elephant, but seeing that it's been going on for a lot longer than just 10,000 years, I went with a mammoth cartoon instead.

When one is happy, or energy rich, "the colours get brighter" - so, "A Colourful Life" is a life rich in energy and in experience. A traditional Art Solutions Symbol Painting by Silvia Hartmann with a special purpose.

Silvia Hartmann writes: I run a Modern Energy Art Masters Course once a year, starting on Summer Solstice June 21st, and a couple of months into it, a MEA person contacted me and said that they had tried all sorts to get over a particular childhood trauma relating to art, but they felt stuck and wondered if I could assist.

Please join us in wishing Silvia Hartmann a fabulous 60th Birthday!

I needed an energy dancing shirt and here it is (and I'm modelling it for you) :-)

During the "Egg of Change" exercise in the MEA course, it came to pass that I was inspired to make an egg of my own. It happened spontaneously in the night, a "wonder"full experience, hence the name.
