'Empower your Life with Gentleness'

A wonderful new book by my friend Bingz Huang..!

You can also find out more about Bingz and all she offers by visiting her website Bingz Healing Light
My review on Amazon where you can buy the book in paperback or on Kindle.

Painting in response to Bingz's words, from my FB closed intuitive painting group ...
On gentleness and thinking of Bingz’s new book Empower your life with Gentleness.
Bingz writes, ‘To me, just thinking of the word “Gentleness” helps me to soften my default armor.’


This reminds me of a meditation I do where I intentionally soften my face, my eyes, any part of my body ... there’s something in the word/ association that instantly calms, like a warmth, an inner smile, washing, cleansing in light.
Gentleness. Softness … the feelings and senses themselves cannot seem to coexist with the harshness/discord that can be inside us sometimes - and so when we intentionally welcome gentleness we see/feel it is much stronger! :) ... as a soft blanket that envelops the jangling … and gently dissolves it 🌸
​
And I love this simple technique that Bingz describes - so beautiful to remember if we can, in the moment or even for at the start of each day...

‘Activating your Gentleness Instinct.
Here is a simple two-step technique to activate your body’s Gentleness Instinct:

Step 1) set the intention to allow your instinct to be gentle on yourself.
Step 2) feel how you feel in your body after you have done Step 1.‘

This small pastel painting is on the wall next to my desk - a reminder of gentleness and softness for me.
