The higher mind meditation


Life is a journey that is forever unfolding, We are life, we are forever unfolding.  

Beautiful Music for your heart


Take a deep Journey to Inner Truth

We all find ourselves at different stages of understanding the profound truth of who we are and what our existence entails. When one is ready to confront their truth, they embark on this journey like a warrior of light, seeking clarity and enlightenment.

The Quest for Communion with the Divine

Many of us ponder the nature of our communion with God. Engaging in individual sessions of connection with the spirit is essential—this can be achieved through prayer or meditation. Taking time in solitude to turn inward allows you to establish your own connection to truth and spirit, which serves as your true guidance.

Are You Ready for This Path?

A key indicator of your readiness is your genuine interest in spirituality. If you find yourself drawn to information—whether it be books, music, or teachings—that resonate with your inner self, and you feel a desire to delve deeper and understand more, this is a powerful sign.

Conversely, if you feel easily bored or disinterested, it’s perfectly natural to gravitate toward what truly captivates you. Not everyone experiences an inner calling from the spirit, and that is completely acceptable.

             

Understanding Spirituality

Spirituality is fundamentally about connecting with your spirit. Through this connection, you will come to realize that there is only one spirit: your higher self. The higher realm, often referred to as God, embodies the same spirit but exists at different levels of consciousness. God has infused its consciousness into countless fragments, each of which constitutes who we are.

Communion with God is always accessible because it is, in essence, you connecting with your higher self at a different frequency of energy. Engaging in this connection consciously will awaken you to a deeper level of understanding. God embodies pure, unconditional love. When you vibrate at that frequency, you become one with it—until you choose otherwise.

To truly embody unconditional love, you must consciously sustain it. You hold the key to maintaining your inner frequency and conscious state, as you are always exercising your free will.

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration."    Nikola Tesla  

Now think of this in your self.  How are you this energy, frequency and vibration?


Navigating Distractions

It’s important to recognize that distractions can easily divert you from maintaining your inner state. While I don’t believe that discipline needs to be overly rigid, it’s crucial to remain aware of the myriad distractions in the world that can lead you astray. A strong will and self-imposed discipline can guide you on your spiritual journey, helping you stay aligned with your true path.

Embrace the journey of spirituality as a means to uncover your inner truth, and allow the light within you to shine brightly.

Important questions to ask your self.

Where do you want to be wiser? Where do you refuse to grow up? 


     The ego mind

The ego mind represents what we have learned we are—who we believe we are. Simply put, the ego consists of the beliefs that shape your mind and influence your reactions to the world. By quieting the mind, you can free yourself from these beliefs. In silence, when you align with true love that comes from connecting to the source, you become one with God again.  

You have always been that same source, but the ego mind keeps it hidden behind its curtains of beliefs until you are ready to confront your true self and begin the cleansing of your mind and heart.


The ego keeps the source and our true frequency veiled, diverting our attention to the world and its myriad distractions. Especially if we focus on fear, nothing will distance us further from the truth than fear itself. Our free will allows us to choose where we want to be and what we want to become. Until we choose to embody love, we will not experience it.

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.  Carl Jung

How could you purify your heart in a way that stays pure and endures the tests that come from living in this world?  It is a constant work to keep yourself in harmony, it has to be a discipline to observe yourself and improve your frequency or inner state. 

"The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it. In the end, the ego is the one that suffers." -Eckhart Tolle

Many mystics have traversed their spiritual journeys and shared the wisdom they acquired along the way. However, this knowledge will remain elusive unless you actively engage in your own exploration. Merely listening will not suffice; without personal experience, you may perceive it as a myth—something distant and unattainable.

If you begin your journey now, you will discover that your path is unique yet closely aligned with those who have guided us. Embrace the insights they have offered, and recognize that your understanding contributes to the greater whole. When you share your experiences, you enrich the collective wisdom of all.



For this painting, I used mixed media paper, watercolors, white pen and golden acrylic paint, this painting was inspired by an older work created with acrylics.

Final piece, watercolor and acrylics on paper by Monica Zuniga.


Thank you for being here, your presence is deeply appreciated. Namaste 🙏🏻

Life

Together we travel the rivers of life, 
discovering the amazing in us, in others, in the universe.

How wonderful it is to be able to be a witness of a little part,
piece, slice, that one mind can acknowledge, it really is a treasure.
Can you imagine to witness the whole picture?
Those are the kind of things in my mind. :)

For each of us is different, no one sees the world like you or 
me and that makes it even more special, that is how 
I undestrand we are all unique, the things each one understands
about life is what makes us different from others and in 
some cases, that is the cause of trouble too, we should learn 
to respect the differences and even try to learn from them, 
we could grow in consciousness because of being open 
to listen, probably that is the reason why life gave us 
relationships, to share those differences.  Sometime this 
sharing hurts and others feels like a blessing, in any case, 
one always wins, lessons are learned, life is ejoyed.

Learning from our relationships doesn't mean we should allow 
rudness or them trying to convince us that what they think 
is the truth for everyone and we shouldn't try to convince
anyone about our beliefs but that is a hard task thinking globally,
it has to be done individually for religion, politics and so
would´t agree with this for other reasons but how wonderful
 it is to not have walls, be open, to witness, to share, to grow,
expand. To me, that is love, that is growing in consciousness.







Life is a dream of the spirit
when the spirit awakens, the spirit knows who she is
others may tell her how to awake but only she
shall know when the time has come for it
and then, it´s all work, to be awaken and to stay awaken,
this is not an easy task, if there is a reason for it, it shall
be that this path is only for those who are true.







I am love
and love is what I do
like the ocean, 
wild and free
deep and unsolved.
I am heart
and embrace is what I do
for if I don't 
I am not true.







Life is an empty canvas,
life is pure and noble,
life is here for you,
life embraces us,
life is love,
life is 
who 
you 
are.

Viva Mexico!

It`s been a busy week, I have decided to finally open my studio to
a few students and started teaching live sessions, I love it but
it takes so much of my time and now between my learning sessions 
is a super tight schedule but I have to say I love it, this moment is 
calling for that ans so I most open the door to it!

Here is some of my progress at the art school!  Because my teachers
are guys, they have given me male figures and faces to work with, I
never have tired it before, I use to not like it but after this exercises I
now love it!  I`ve learned so much from this one bellow!  The biggest
issue is the size, they are super large and so I am learning to work with
that format which is not easy for me but I love how it`s developing!
I guess is all about loosing the fear of trying things and embracing new
possibilities, it opens new doors, new dreams, new ideas, a new self.



A watercolor study, I also tried for the first time a nude, I have been reluctant to 
them, I don`t like it, when the teacher gave me the reference I was like, 
NO WAY!  but he insisted, next week we`ll have a real nude model, 
let`s see how that goes!


This is a cover of one of my altered books, the new course I started
in my live sessions at the studio, it`s a lot of fun and it allows so much
exploring!  If you never hear of altered books before, please learn more
about it here and check out my online course including over 20 videos
of techniques and ideas for it! 


Excuse me please!!   
This happens a lot! Lol!



This, in a day of freedom, relaxation and content, with my new aquired
knowledge, I can see I am getting to were I want!




We are in the celebration of our Independence
and so I was invited to sing a few traditional songs
over the art school, I am also taking the singing
workshop and so I share with you one of the songs,
it`s named "Si nos dejan" " If they let us" it`s
very popular over here and I hope you enjoy it!
