work vs Art

Ciao, Cosmic Soul and Co-Creator…

Here is a freshly-recorded podcast – the third in the What The F*** Is Art For?? series – for you.

These podcasts I create are taking more and more time to gestate, as they are going to/ coming from the heart of what wants to be revealed, released, realised and expanded – in relation to our purpose here on ‘planet Earth’.

work versus Art – podcast

As one who has dedicated a lifetime to Art, the expansion of consciousness, healing and Living In Gift – my mastery is becoming more tangible, more vital. My calling is to continue with this path, as I am able, following the signs that encourage me. There are many, many challenges coming up that seem genuinely insurmountable – and yet, each and every difficulty rises like a wave and I can choose whether to ride on it and have it carry me far… or be overwhelmed by it.

However, overwhelm is not an option now; living in Gift and listening to the elements, there is no room for not-being-in-tune-with-all-things. Not-being-in-tune sticks out like a thing that is really noticeable, and it simply asks to be attuned. So I attune it. Anything that piles up, simply calls to be un-piled-up – or washed or given away or recycled, or whatever the improvement is for that particular pile of things.

Life is immediate, clear and ringing with truth; all things have a more harmonious place, all moments are full and ripe, all options are open and possible, and all movement is towards solution.

Stepping out of work and into Art, from the construct and the grind into the Flow and the Right – is the mastery of our Art of Life; each of our lives are a work of Art. The very concept central to labouring, to the giving away of our time-energy-attention-resources in return for a few coins is an idea that distorts the Nature of reality.

In the podcast I go into these ideas immersively: you are most welcome to dive deep with me, and to join my work or my decentralised social media channels… See my Gift pages for more info on how to connect.

And please do share this podcast with someone you think will appreciate it – I need all the help I can get in sharing my work, as I have been heavily censored on mainstream for decades.

Love to you – in sovereignty

manifesting is effortless…

manifesting is effortless!

Dearest treasured friend,

Here is my podcast around Manifesting Being Effortless! You can also listen via my Patreon pages: patreon.com/claregalloway and via the Aureal podcasting platform over on Hive.blog blockchain (if you don’t know about Hive, just ask me – it’s a far more social, private and rewarding media!).

There has been a big old fashion in the contemporary ‘spiritual’ world around manifestation – at the same time, much of the chitchat in the mainstream is a simplistic model of a polemic ‘mind vs material’ ‘reality’.

Unfortunately, this can be a total head**** for most folks, because it gets into a sordid entanglement of “So I’m creating everything around me – and I don’t like it and want to change it – but the actions I’m taking are making it even worse – which makes me think that I am inherently flawed/ bad/ crazy -which makes me feel that this ‘wrongness’ is making it impossible to stop creating this negative reality around me…..” etc, etc, ad infinitum.

This happens primarily because we’re deferring to an external authority around what is Right for us – unless we’re under our own authorship, aligned with Divine Intelligence and fully present in Now, we’re being steered off course.

Fortunately, the beauty of any negative spiral is that when we can recognise the difference between going into the negative vs going into the positive – we can then begin alchemically tweaking in the everymoment, and move into an upwards spiral instead. This way, we move into ‘manifesting’ what we ‘want’ much more effortlessly.

I speak here to how we can feel into the difference between suffering and expansion, and thus make the infinite tiny wee, easy choices in everymoment, which can free up our relationship-with-all-things, free our vitality and healthfullness, and even have material resources that we need come easily into our field, because we’re ready and accepting of them in the right timing.

Blessings on your everymoment! And please Gift my work via Patreon or Hive – it will empower my life, health and sharing!

intro to harvesting wild mushrooms

For the past months I’ve been racking my brains daily for how best to communicate about the world situation: what’s the most important practical advice, what are the deeper underlying stories, where is the meaning in all that’s happening, and what can we do/ be to alter the profoundly destructive course that we’re on?

This month’s podcast is on mushrooms, wild foraging and consciousness.

I rarely create without divine inspiration – without a whole-body-yes calling to a particular subject/ direction/ dimension. So I was waiting, during this tumultuous time of unfolding psychosis, paranoid-hysterical-misplaced controls and superstitious rituals, for a feeling around the Gift that it is my work to share, and this came clear and ready-to-pop-out: wild mushrooms.

Rather than painting over the past months, I’ve been studying; common law, Italian law, DPCMs, human rights, v a c c i n e s, RNA, the absolute unreliability of testing, the modern understanding of the whole immune system, DNA modification, nano-technologies, surveillance, loss of genetic sovereignty/ identity, legal non-consent, Natural law, and the extent of the manipulation being played out via the mainstream. It’s all reality-altering stuff.

Doing something about it all, however, requires stability, calm, honour… and a profoundly larger perspective; roots planted firmly in the soil of this incredible holy planet, and energies radiating outwards and upwards into the subtle world. This requires, above all, solitude in nature and alignment with bigger forces for Life, so that we can cultivate a true vitality, alertness and well-being.

There’s a profound difference in being aligned with – let’s call it ‘holy-planet-conscious’, and the complex interdependence of solutions and remedies needed (to cure our active state of global dissonance) – or being focussed on ‘the problem’ (as perceived through the conventional media). In the latter , our vibration stays low, and it actually supports – holds space for – the agenda (or ‘the problem’); it effectively compounds the issue, blocking it from dissipating like it naturally wants to.

So here are some thoughts on why mushrooms – the non-cultivated variety that one has to know intimately about before seeking them – are part of the bigger picture – and thus part of the solution.

This is a podcast introduction to wild mushroom harvesting as a means of nourishing and maintaining a holistic consciousness.

Please consider making even a small regular contribution to my monthly funding: it really does help significantly in these times… The mainstream censorship of art and truth has almost entirely blocked my communication with audiences that are based in the big social medias, and this is obviously affecting my already humble earnings significantly.

MUCH love, blessings, freedom, vitality and power to you – be truly wholly well, be deeply and widely aligned,

Clare

Miscarriage, Meaning, Catharsis

podcast on miscarriage, meaning, catharsis

BLOGCAST SERIES ON THE SACRED FEMININE – 10

I felt strongly called to speak about this subject(s), after coming across an art book that I created in 2007 – Growth-Catharsis – and seeing it with fresh eyes, whilst currently trying to conceive.

The book project was a direct ‘transcribing’ of my experience at the time of miscarriage. Now, I have access to multiple forums where we are talking at length about womb-work, about womben’s experiences, Life from womb-centred perspectives. At the time of my miscarriage, and more-so 10 yrs before (as I talk about in this podcast), there was no language around what was happening and what my ‘choices’ were.

The four beansprout talismen/ taliswomben, referred to in the podcast

In fact, in retrospect, it felt like the men in my life made the decision by default: the world was their privilege – their ‘logic’ held the sway in terms of what was ‘allowed’ to transpire, or not. I speak at the end of the podcast, to this; to what it is when we have Life trying to expansively manifest through us, but are convinced by the superficial, fear-full, ‘logic’ of “this cannot happen right now”.

Catharsis, painting which evolved into another painting…

This is such a metaphor for the frictional polemic between patriarchy and the sacred feminine, and it makes me think strongly about the deep masculine – who likely would have turned up/ stuck around, if I’d demanded it and gone ahead with my pregnancies… and the toxic feminine, who submits inappropriately, backs down when the slightest resistance in met, and boils in resentment of ‘what should’ve been’.

Seeing this complex entanglement of 4-cornered dynamic: sacred feminine ‘vs’ toxic masculine, crossed by deep masculine ‘vs’ toxic feminine, helps me see what our solution can be: the toxicity is essentially weakness or lack of maturity – it’s operating from fear-tension-pain, rather than sovereignty-bliss-expansion – both are valid realities. Both need the positive aspects of each other, in order to move forward: both are trying in their own way to keep the world safe and working: one from tense controlling, the other from floppy passivity. Neither are ‘better’ than the other: this is about how we bring this divided quadrant into yin-yang harmony…

I hope that this podcast can be heard outwith any cultural and societal negative projections onto abortion and/ or womben’s sovereignty in their mind-body-spirit. This open sharing is a gift to our collective womb consciousness, a calling to let go of our shared wounds and our frictional relationship between the yin and the yang of humanity.

The book mentioned will be shared on my Patreon hopefully later today.

Much love, and gratitude for listening and witnessing xx

Menstruation And The Whole Woman

BLOGCAST SERIES ON THE SACRED FEMININE – 5

This is one of at least two podcasts in this series on menstruation: the core of our feminine life and identity, the cycle of fertility and creative potential, the solution to the world’s problems with disequilibrium and even violence….

In this podcast I’m speaking to the reality of women’s bleeding being something divine, wholesome, realigning, energising: our blood is the source of Life, and thus we can and should find great enrichment in its moving through us and going out into the world.

Instead of ceremony and gratitude, many of us have intensely negative bio-feedback through our cycles. This is intimately related to what is going on around us (and within us): to both our life and the history of the women in our family, to our habits and relationship with our body-mind-spirit, and to what is transpiring each month.

detail from painting: cat woman lives from her womb

Modern life in general is very much not aligned to women’s well-being. It most certainly is NOT aligned to women’s taking good, deep self-care, and to working within her monthly rhythms. So what should we do about that? What can we do to first limit the disharmony in our month, and then to begin easing ourselves into a more appropriate pattern that our body tells us is right?

The clue is in the question: ‘our body tells us’ – here’s my first podcast on menstruation – look out for the next one soon, within the rest of this Sacred Feminine series.
