Opposite Mirrors

I’m starting an Instastory Chakra series! I could probably spend over a month talking strictly chakras & mindbody. So I decided to create an chakra series. Today is about the Root Chakra: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How we do one thing is how we do everything,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our resistant patterns can show up in some funky ways,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One thing is they can show up as we’re doing different things⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Like when I was exploring my lack mindset⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I would find, my childhood food anxiety connected to a self worth belief,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which also connected to how I was paranoid on running out of food⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then it always circled back to feeling lack of support in my life⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If I don’t feel supported with food,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I also don’t feel enough to support my body and my health⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What did this translate to? Neglecting the body…thus often starving myself out of punishment for not feeling good enough. True story.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which low and behold all connects back to the root chakra,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Most of my childhood I was sick all the time⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And so I grew up with a fear of sickness and neglected eatting a lot of the time due to fear of getting sick.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While I’ve tremendously healed this story, love and know I’m enough and rarely get sick anymore bc I’ve done the deeper level work,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It shows me the power behind how our patterns ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Loop in our nervous system and play out in our lives⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ this is why I’m crazy in love with the chakra system⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It carries the ability to look at our patterns⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have a map to heal them⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And then consciously work on empowering each center ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To activate each chakras hidden gem 💎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Like the root chakra is really about support and abundance,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which allows us to feel supported by our body, by our external world and by our authentic self. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When we feel supported we activate abundance in our life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What chakra stories do you have?! I’d love to hear about them 💙💚💛💜🦄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #chakras

I can’t believe they oblitered straight men like that

a quick grass tutorial

I’ve never really wrote a tutorial before so apologies if this is bad

1. okay first thing I do is pick three colors, a mid, dark, and light. I like to check the colors in greyscale to make sure there’s enough contrast between each one.

I then plop down a blob of whatever my middle tone color is.

2. next, I take my dark color and just sort of randomly place it around. I try to make sure there’s a good amount of both the mid and dark tones spread throughout. I personally like to keep it kinda messy. I also have pen pressure on for both brush size and opacity, so I can have some blending action going on.

3. for the next step I do the exact same thing as before, except with the light color.

4. aight this is where we start adding details. see how you just have a bunch of colors and edges where two colors meet? use the eyedropper and go to an area where two colors meet, eyedrop a color, and then use that color to draw in your grass blades. I do this at every point where colors meet. should note I personally like to use a square brush, but you can really just use anything.

5. you can technically stop at the last step if you’re going for a more simple look, but to add more details I go to the “empty” areas of solid color and just draw in random strokes using a color nearby. it’s just a way to fill up the empty space.

6. basically more of the same idea of eyedropping and drawing. for more variety so things look interesting, I like to add random plant shapes.

7. and so the grass doesn’t look too plain, I add random dots of color and pretend it’s flowers and stuff.

and there you have it, this is how I approach drawing grass.

I don’t understand but I agree.

self care is breaking into nasa and launching yourself directly into the Fucking void
