A Gift of Reflection: Essential Wafers

Balance Dark and Light.  2016 Copyright Lauren T. Meyer

I have wonderful exchanges with people who see my art, and I want to share their reflections with others who enjoy my imagery. Tonight at Dance Jam Berkeley I took 3 paintings and taped them to the wall behind the check-in table.

I also put a bowl of "Essence Wafers" to select from before one stepped into the dance room.

The Essence Wafers are 2" dia watercolor paintings.  They reflect peoples essence back to them.  I asked what they want to call into their lives in the new year.  A woman told me "articulation" and I ask her how that would feel and she says,  she wanted to feel in the flow intensely, so I wrote "Acuity" on her wafer.  When asked about the coming year, a man said he wants to bring compassion to the world through music.  I wrote "Ignite Intention" on his wafer.  Reading that surprised him and his face lit up thinking about it that way.  It was a lot of fun. I AM an artist and have "Permission" (what I wrote on my wafer) to be as big in the world as I care to be.
