Painting My Way To Relaxation

Painting in my art studio is a relief to me My breathing changes the minute I sit in my chair. Facing a field of snow-covered woods, my body calms down Tenseness I did not consider all day is released into the vapor. Stress and anxiety ease out of my cement spinal column The perpetual neck ache I had not noticed is instantly gone Meditative state gently picks me up, embraces and loves me I reach for a canvas and begin my artistic heart dance. Color begins throwing herself into my essence Choose me! Pick me! I smile. I do have my favorites. The begging does not hurry me, I am centered. I take my time, surrounded by a natural blissful calmness. My adoring angels and fantastical faeries visit me here. They know I am vulnerable, and at my most receptive. All frenzy, stress, and pain has dissipated. I am my me-self here, crazy happy, lapping up their inspiration, Feeling loved.

Yes, you can. I can sit and paint for hours, facing a forest of hidden faerie babies. It is the best!
