The Story behind "SOUL ART ENERGY PATTERN HEALINGS"

THE STORY OF HOW I STARTED DOING:
“SOUL ART ENERGY PATTERN HEALINGS”.


Are you living at your highest potential? Is your soul calling for a deeper and more joyful experience? Are you ready to release past patterns and blocks that are keeping you from living in more abundance following your passion?

It is my joy to present for the first time a new healing method created through following my passion that I call “Soul Art Energy Patterns”.

Will this be the secret to unlocking your true passion, purpose and authentic self for living a life of abundance? I do not know the answer to that question, but am here to help guide you discover your true self.

Your soul has distinct patterns that can be compared to that of your fingerprints. I first became aware of these many years ago after my dear niece Jan passed from cancer at age 28. Her passing was a deep gift to many in my family who also experienced the power of healing energies through pure love. Through our love, Jan lived a few months longer than doctors expected. It was truly a turning point in my life as an artist and it began my search to learn more about healing energies. Many of us in my large family became healers in a variety of ways after this incredible experience.

After Jan’s death, I was having trouble understanding what had transpired and sought help. I was put under hypnosis and taken up to heaven so that I could see and feel what it was like on the other side. There I clearly saw Jesus, Mother Mary, Buddha and other spiritual leaders presented to me in a physical appearance. Also there I saw people I knew who had passed and those that had not yet passed from earthly existence in patterns of colors and forms. I understood that we each have our own unique color pattern energy signatures.

I truly believe that this information has come back through me at this time to serve in my highest good in the world using both my talents as a successful artist and as a healer. My soul has been yearning to stop hiding the healer behind the artist and I am so pleased and excited to share this gift with others.

In love and joy, Catherine Foster

Catherine,

I just had to let you know. For the first time in months I slept through the night and awoke feeling refreshed with much less pain (discomfort) in the areas you cleared. Also I dreamt about beavers and according to Animal Speak beaver represents the opportunity to build on your dreams and to act on our dreams to make them a reality--when beaver shows up it's time for action and beaver can show you how to construct wonderful dreams. So, thank you, thank you, thank you. S

P.S. The yellow gold color has been important to me for a few years now--what this feels like to me is my personal power (plexus) and my connexion to the divine (purple) merging. And I love the bluebird of happiness.

According to Angeles Arrien, the spiral symbolizes the process of growth and evolution. It is a process of coming to the same point again and again but at a different level so that everything is seen in a new light. The result is a new perspective on issues, people and places. People involved in the spiral process have a strong need for variety, novelty and change. They dread routine and are capable of doing multiple tasks well. Creative and ingenious, they are adept at initiating and following up on projects although they may have some difficulty completing them (THAT WAS ME!). The challenge of this process is to grow and develop at different levels of awareness.

So, to me, the spiral being gold is significant to my new awareness and evolutionary change.

Truly feeling peace within now.

Have you ever felt so fantastic-- so filled up with life-- that you just had to let out a huge “wooooo hoooo!” at the top of your lungs? Well if not, you’ve got to take a minute to read this because that is the way I’ve been living my life over the past month. I’ve participating in one of the most powerful programs to come around in years – maybe decades! It’s called “40 Days and 40 Nights with Kristin and David Morelli.” Kristin and David are founders of the radio show “Everything is Energy” and wow-wee are we making some big shifts!

I have been moving energy and breaking down my deepest blocks to abun^dance and authentic we^alth like I have never done before, and we still have a few days left in the program. One of biggest breakthroughs that I have experienced is…. Starting to do the artwork and healing work that truly fulfills me and as a result I am on my . I have started to do "Soul Pattern artwork or Soul Signatures" where I do healing over the phone with people then paint what I see as their inner patterns of color. I LOVE IT! I will write more soon about the peace I feel.

If you don’t know Kristin and David, Kristin is a self-made multimil^lionaire (by age 30) and David is an energy worker of the highest caliber who is sought after by many well-known teachers of the Law of Attraction to work with them on breaking through their blocks to we^alth. Together they are a powerful team who have made a decision to be a part of the shift from lack to abun^dance. True Abun^dance = an abun^dance that embraces mon^ey and ALL good things in life.

On our coaching call last Tuesday, Kristin and David shared with us a sneak peek of “what’s next” after the 40 Days and 40 Nights program comes to a close in a few days. It is going to be absolutely awesome because this couple is nothing short of amazing! I am so grateful for having found them and for saying “YES!” to coming under their mentorship. Stay tuned; as soon as I have the details, I’ll pass them on to you.

In the meantime, meet Kristin and David at this link: http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=3039191

News About theWing Luke Museum Auction

Wow, life just keeps getting more and more exciting! On Sat. Fred and I went to the auction at the Harbor Convention Center in Seattle and received VIP treatment from the museum.

My Peace Prevails Kimono #13 received much attention. one of the highlights of the night was meeting our next Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and his beautiful wife Mona. What a treat! Mona reminds me of Michelle Obama and is a very gracious person. When they get to Washington DC and know what kind of space they have to work with, Mona said she would call and commission me for a Peace Prevails Kimono. I am not holding my breath, but am hopeful that one of my peace artworks will be in our countries capital.

Then on top of all that, the kimono sold well over the retail price. The new owners John Sy-Eng and Sandy Chock-Eng are part of the Wing Luke family. I got to have my picture taken with them. So when they finish painting their living room they are giving a party for us to celebrate the hanging of the Peace kimono in their home. You can see a catalog of the art at the auction here http://www.wingluke.org/home.htm

I feel so very very honored and blessed. My dreams about getting the Peace Prevails Project out into the world is coimg true.

Artists....never give up!

Here is to a bright sunny day in the NW! Catherine

PS I was worried about my cast from my broken wrist at the auction. It turned out to be a way to start a conversation when people asked me how I broke my wrist.

At Last.... I have the song in my mind

Dear All,

It has almost been a year since I was contacted by J.D, Associates in CA about a kimono for UC Irving Hospital in Calif. Another 8 months before the hospital purchased the kimono. 

Yea!!!!! it is now installed on the second floor at the new UC Irvine Hospital in CA.   I am not sure if the hospital is open yet, but if you live close, please stop in and say hello to Kimono #26.

This is the first purchase from a hospital and I intend to have more artworks in many more.

So fun!

Catherine

Artist Statement:
"My true passion is the creative process. From the moment of inspiration to the development in my mind to the actual creation, I maintain a dialogue with the artwork and my inner self. It is that special time between the spark of inspiration and the completed piece that marks both reality and the total immersion of creativity. The end product becomes a physical manifestation of this creative process that has the ability to stir something deep within us with its mysterious beauty. "

HOW TO EARN MONEY SELLING MY ART GUIDELINES:
by Catherine Foster on 2/2/2009 10:29:53 AMHow to earn income selling my artwork and helping yourself , others and charities.


Peace Weavings
HOW TO EARN MONEY SELLING MY ART GUIDELINES:

Hello Family and Friends,

I’m always looking for new ways to market my art or at least thinking of new ways. Art marketing can be expensive and time intensive. Artists can market their art through sites like Imagekind, email lists, social media sites, a blog, a web site, gallery shows, etc.
Since my artwork and designs help to support 4 different individuals/groups, I am always looking for more ways to help them also.

So where do artists find buyers? As Clint Watson once said, “A collector is anyone that purchases your art, whether it’s your mailman or the president of a corporation.”

How I Market My Art

I’m also working on combining my website gallery into my new blog, checking out Twitter and FriendFeed to see what that can do for marketing from a Web 2.0 social kind of thing.

So after looking at how professional bloggers promote products by affiliation on their blog, I decided to add an art affiliate program on my blog. This is the current state of the program and with time I will tweak it to see what works best.

Here’s how it works:

1. I post selected paintings of my work on my blog to sell.
2. You sell my art for me and make a commission.
A. For artwork priced between $2,000 to $6,000 you will receive 10%
B. For artwork priced between $1,000 to $1999.00 you will receive 15%
C. For artwork priced between $100-999.00 you will receive 20%

Note: There will be times where I’ll lose my mind and increase the %, so make sure you subscribe at
http://catherine-foster.com/blog



Be sure to click the little orange box to sign up to follow my blog so you don’t miss a chance to make some good cha-cha-change - $$. I will post images of artwork and prices on a regular basis.
How to stay connected with new artwork posted- click the RSS feed.

Here’s how to sell my art:

1. Place an image of my art on your blog or website. Write a blog post about it if you like or just tell people to email you if they are interested in buying one of my paintings.
You can also show people my website with images. Just be sure they do not purchase from this site for I will not know if it came from you or not, but it will be a great place to show current artwork available. http://catherine-foster.com/works

2. Tell people to contact you by email, phone, etc. However you want the buyer to contact you.

Here’s how someone buys my art through you:

1. If you have a committed buyer, I send you a PayPal link that you have your buyer go to and purchase a specific piece of my art.
2. As soon as the payment is cleared at PayPal, you provide me the address of the buyer and I’ll send the art to the buyer.
3. You tell me where and how you want your commission sent to you. All payouts will come from PayPal only.
4. After the 7-day “no questions asked” return policy has expired, your affiliate payout will be sent.

Shipping

I will pay shipping costs on pieces of artwork. I will ship all art in a box that is closest to the size of the art. It will be bubble wrapped and packing peanuts will be used if necessary. Shipping will include insurance on the larger artworks.

Where shipping costs become excessive, alternate shipping plans can be discussed. The large kimonos require a wood box to be created. There will have to be an extra charge to make these boxes.

How refunds will work:

1. If the art is returned during the 7-day “no questions asked” time period, it must be returned in the condition it was in the photograph.
2. Shipping costs on returned art will include insurance and be paid by the buyer.
3. A full refund will be sent out from my PayPal account to the buyer.

The affiliate program is open to anyone, individuals, organizations, galleries, etc. You promote my art on your blog, website or anywhere by copying an image of the art provided on my blog. PayPal is a trusted source for financial transactions.

If you have any questions please send me an email at http://catherine-foster.com/contact and use this contact form to send me an email.

Being in Peace while I work is a challenge. How does one really focus in peace?

I try by meditating every day and work on being grounded. While I create, I think peace, joy and love. But there are always times when it is not that easy. It is like patting ones head and rubbing the tummy at the same time.

May you be in peace today and every day.

Peace- in the words of Neale Donald Walsh

Dear All, I love Neale Donald Walsh’s newsletter and get it every day. It is kind of like the Daily Word with Unity… it is aways right on for that day.
I hope that he does not mind me sharing, but this is on Peace and I thought it was great.
“On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants you to know...
....that peace cannot come to this world until you are
convinced that violence will never produce it.

Hurt does not heal hurt. Violence will not bring an end
to violence. Help the world to understand this by
reacting differently, responding newly, when anger and
a need to hurt you is sent your way.

You will have such an opportunity in your life. And
probably, more than once. Do not miss the chance
to humbly send a message of love.

Love, Your Friend....
 Neale Donald Walsh”

What does the weather do to your creativity?

Here in WA we have had an unusual amount of snow, wind and rain. Do you find that this weather changes how you create? Do you even want to create or do you want to just curl up and read or take naps?

I find that the snow outside creates a peaceful place for me to work. It is colder up in the studio, but if I just put more layers on I am fine. The quiet if a place of rest. I find that I can clear my head better.

Usually the month of January is a very productive month. So bring on this next storm. As long as I have light, I can paint. And then in the afternoon take a nice nap and let the intuition ring in with new ideas.

Here’s to a brand new year and brand new energy for all of us!
Catherine

I love helping other artists!

Here it is another week already. The snow seems to have affected many of us who are not used to this much snow in Washington. Where did this week go?

For creative people , especially artists, there is great help to get you on the right track for success this 2009 year.

Take a look at the smartest Telesummit . I just went into the back to see who was talking on what day and what they are sharing with us. I am so impressed. For the artist who is really ready to fly this year, this is the help you need.
