This could be my golden period or my golden age ... Nothing shines as bright as real 24k gold. No paint comes close. And I love the way it plays with the light. 

The GoE has seen amazing growth these past few years and now represents over 1,700 energists in 69 countries. A big part of this is because GoE members have been running more events in 2016 than ever before. Infact, twice as many as in 2015 and we've still got a month to go!

Very rarely, a book comes along that has the power to change the way we see the world. Silvia Hartmann's extraordinary and next-level The Trillion Dollar Stress Solution is that book.

Tickets for the must-attend energy event of 2017, the GoE Energy Conference, are now available!

Over 100 energists from 12 different countries attended last year's conference, a huge celebration of us officially becoming The Guild of Energists.

One of my favourite "Bonus Paintings" was Story Island (B) and it is true, I could not wait to get the space to create a full size symbol hybrid painting - Story Island. 

In 2014, I created an art solutions painting called "The End of The Starving Artist." Two years later, and having enjoyed the energy of that abstract energy art painting in my office every day, tremendously, it was time for an evolution. What next, we wondered? And a phrase from the freshly written artists resume became the answer for the new set up, the "title" - "For me, art was essential for survival, precious beyond price, deeply personal and more beloved than I have words to express."

"The sparkles have settled on the first ever international Guild of Energists (GoE) Energy Conference in Eastbourne, and I can happily say it was the most extraordinary, enlightening and entertaining conference I've ever had the privilege of organising and being a part of," writes GoE editor and conference organiser Stephen Kent.

I don't know why this happened, but in 2016, a project was done to make a gallery of favourite energy art with fridge magnet picture frames. 

How "finding your style" as an artist can lead to more freedom, rather than less - and some amazing experiences with the Bonus Paintings. 

* This might be useful for artists who are struggling to find their "style," so they can "brand their art" better to achieve better sales. 

This symbol painting in gold and blue was done - wanted to be done! - at the same time I was working on the Big E and the Big Heart of Gold. It probably caused Story Island (B) quite directly, and therefoe Story Island as well. The case could be made that also "Breaking Through The Barrier Of Gold" is directly related to this symbol painting as well. Mysterious, magical - just what a good original energy art symbol painting should be! :-)

Modern Energy Art Solutions is when the modern energy artist takes charge of their processes of creativity, and uses them to deliberately create a work of art that is the SOLUTION to a problem.

This puts the artist in charge of what they want to experience in the process of creating a work of modern energy art.

When the Association For Meridian Therapies became The Guild of Energists, it needed a new logo.

This is the story of the Big E ...

The Heart of Gold Painting, balancing brother to The Big E, painted for the first Modern Energy Conference in 2016. 

Yes, it's the Pikachu symbol hybrid painting - a birthday gift for Stephen Kent :-)

Being Too Literal?

"You are too literal!" is a favourite put you down among arty folk. It is a variant on the "Fear of the Obvious" which I have written about and ranted over for many years now.

Essentially, art students and literary students are entrained to become blind to the obvious, and the literal, by being punished for being obvious and literal.

This leads to a mental movement that becomes quite literally (!) the psycho-path.

On a cool October night, I was drinking red wine and there were some people about who were interested in energy art, but didn't know much or anything about it.

Here is a truly multi-dimensional project for modern energy artists - The Bowl of Blessings. Here, we bring together art and magic, energy and intention, creativity and craft to end up with a single "installation" which serves as a totem in its own right, but can be used for all manner of magical purposes just as perfectly as it can sit by itself on a plinth in an art exhibition. Oh, and of course, you can play with it. Age range - 3 to 300. Awesome. x

A recent study from The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine compared the efficacy of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) with that of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in reducing adolescent anxiety. The results for the EFT participants showed a significant reduction in anxiety levels with the study concluding that EFT is an effective intervention to significantly reduce anxiety for high-ability adolescents.

Here is September's list of new and current members who completed new EFT & Energy qualifications last month. What an incredible month, with over 110 Energists gaining new qualifications...wow that's a lot of Positive Energy flowing out across the world.

Please congratulate and welcome...
