Candaleria Confesses

Do you have an aquatic animal totem/guide? How does the ocean or water make you feel? There has always been a part of me that is drawn to the water. It is something I cannot entirely explain.

How do you experience your higher self? It has been through my art!  This year, from day 1, which started out as an endless roller coaster, had me feeling lost and unhappy. I hadn't been or felt myself in years. Reflecting upon this I thought,  "When did I  loose myself and how can I experience my higher self again?" That question is extremely complex... But the goal was to find out who I am again! When I think about who I am I have always considered myself an artist with the gift of intuitive power and astral abilities that I was always too afraid to express.  So I stopped everything that was holding me back and started expressing myself again through art.  One thing I realized this morning was that I have never felt more connected with my higher self than I do right now!

How to I cleanse my dreamcatchers? Here is my personal collection of dreamcatchers Bellica Rose loves my smudge stick Where I bought my smudge stick! THE best shop on Olvera St. to buy anything from smudge sticks to candles, you name it!
