So I was telling my kids about my recent trip out of the Universe… how it felt so light and expansive to reach past the confines of our universe… and my daughter instantly knew what I was trying to say.
“It reminds me of how I feel when I am swimming. I am holding my breath underwater, and as I come up to the surface, I break through the top and take a big free breath. It feels amazing,” Clara said.
Holy. Crap. YES!
This is what took me paragraph after paragraph to try to explain on Monday. That’s it! The feeling of holding your breath for a long period of time… breaking through the surface… expanding into all that you are, all that soul freedom… greeting all of your loved ones and re-emerging into non-physical.
Do you have a loved one who as passed away? This painting is the closest thing I have ever seen to what it feels like to break through that barrier and release your earthly confines.
See all the souls, still holding their breath but swimming up to the top? All the joy and love that waits for them just above the surface? How wonderful it feels to take that first big breath and remember who you truly are… that you are more than your earthly body, that you are a soul eternal?
The love that surrounds us and awaits us as we make this journey is intoxicating.
This canvas is for sale in my shop here, with free shipping! I’m debating whether or not to make it into prints. I feel like it is such a comforting image… something I want to remember over and over again, as I think about growing older and as more and more of my precious loved ones re-join the non-physical world. At the same time, I feel like this image should be special… only for the one person who needs the original in their home.
Sometimes living down here on Earth can feel hard. Heavy and hard. That’s when I remember… it’s because we are all down here, holding our breath, carrying around these heavy heavy Earth suits. For certain, there is great joy and fun to be had down here. But it is nothing compared to that lightness of being that souls feel.
It’s a great big swim down here… temporary and interesting and fun and playful and deep. Just know that when we make that swim up to the surface, the fullness of our being awaits.

I think it is no accident that when we enter this life it is emerging through water to form so why not when we exit? Great analogy!!!! Love the painting!!!!!
Ohhhh, full circle! Love it! xoxo
I was waiting for today to see what your painting looked like. I love it. My thought was that your paintings are like a Disney spiritual
Fantasia.
Oh I love “spiritual fantasia” — that is fabulous! Thank you so much, Gail! xoxo
How amazing that you can turn that vision into such a beautiful painting!
Yes, it is a wonderful analogy as Aleka said; what is wonderful for me to hear about what happened to you is that you must be doing what I have done for over 40yrs now..astrally projecting to other realms..my first one was spontaneous when I was 24yrs old..that led me on a path of reading all I could about all the different religions of the world..through all that, I worked full time and raised 3 sons with my husband of 30yrs..bottom line for myself, is that all religions have the same message..God is Love..and “treat others as you want to be treated”…I would love to hear so much of where you have traveled to when you left the confines of your body…again, your paintings are lovely:) Juta
Juta, I always appreciate so much when you leave comments… thank you for sharing your astral projections with us… would love to hear more about them! xoxo
Definitely make prints!
so beautiful! I love how you painted part of the bodies that were still under water in color and the part that had “emerged” in white like Spirit… so beautiful!
I agree with Juta and was going to say that this is how I feel when I astral travel in my dreams. When I’m flying in my dreams, I know that it is truly my soul out and about traveling and adventuring because I feel completely light and free.
