Imagining Yourself Alive
Many of us have forgotten about our own inner child, or have lost it along the way, and in doing so, do not remember the power of hope and believing.
Nurturing the imagination is vital and contains the ingredients necessary for manifestion. Anything you can envision and feel, IS possible.
When we realize that we have the power to manifest miracles in our lives, I believe we will responsibly learn to co-create.
Whatever we choose to believe, is what our reality is. But if we don’t even know how to believe anymore or how to hope and dream, or how to choose consciously, then we are missing out on what life could be.
Doing my part is simply and authentically expressing who I am, as a cohesive thread in the collective consciousness, through the unique form that I have to share (as we each uniquely have an expression of gifts to share with the world).
In embracing ourselves and allowing that which we have inside to flow to all, we can create much beauty.
I have always resonated with children and animals, understanding that they hold a key to healing on a deeper level. Their naturally loving, expressive, playful, connective, and instinctual natures are important ingredients to integration.
Children are powerful in their vulnerability. In their innocent self expression, they emanate an aura of invincibility. To be vulnerable is to be powerful. Vulnerability is a sense of trust and the willingness to express yourself freely and without inhibitions.
As we grow older, we lose our innocence and vulnerability, in place of self control and judgment. In a sense, we lose our authentic power. Recapturing our child-like exuberance, opens the flow of joy and the electric energy of life to surge through us.
We lose our innocence and natural ability to feel and to trust in our knowingness, as a result of forgetting our essence, through enculturation, and from being out of tune with our bodies’ natural rhythms.

Baby Aries - logo I created and very symbolically and energetically fitting for the energy of this post.
Aries are full of forward movement, great vitality, are motivated, active, enthusiastic, ambitious, initiate change, get things moving, are spontaneous, enthusiastic, creative, self-sufficient, romantic, brave explorers, headstrong pioneers who always strive to seek out new experiences, courageous, fiery and full of charisma.
Taking these productive qualities and blending them with our own uniqueness is enlivening!
Many are in process of re-learning that which was innately our essence to begin with. And when that authenticity of you is rediscovered and released, it is a most joyously, beautiful experience that truly then lets you experience “being alive.”
Children and animals love us regardless of what we look like or how we may behave. They know what it means to love unconditionally and that is all they hope of us – that we will love them, ourselves, and each other, unconditionally.
Dare to have fun, explore, laugh, love, believe, and dream. The world is ours to create. What do you want your life to look, feel, sound, taste, and smell like? Indulge your senses with your imagination…..
To go farther than you ever thought possible, daring to explore the depths of your imagination, is truly being alive.
Visionary Art Available for Love Offer Donations – The Last Ones
Today I share the last three pieces that are now available for “Love Offer” donations of an amount of your choice that reflects the value you feel you receive. For more details about this special offering you can read this post: Name that Love Offer
Some have shared not knowing what to offer or feeling uncomfortable in creating an offer due to knowing the amount of time and creative artistry I have put into them, or the previous prices.
Again, there is no right or wrong amount.
I truly would enjoy seeing these pieces go to loving homes and I know that some can afford more than others to offer. That is OKAY. That is why I offered it this way, rather than set a price, so that it would make it easier for those who have wanted a piece of spiritual art to have the chance to do so. I really feel it to be an empowering process on both ends, and a beautiful exchange we can share.
If any pieces remain at the end, I will think on setting a special that may make it easier for people without any potentially weird feelings. 🙂 Thank you to all those who have given of their hearts so far. I’m so happy that these pieces have found loving homes!

Name That Love Offer! ~ Inspirational Art “Can” Be Yours Plus Receive A FREE Gift!
Every now and then, when I least expect it, I receive a nudge that may seem crazy, but I know it’s “oh so right!” This is one of those times. Those that know me, know that when I get hit with inspiration, I just do it!
So, you ask, what is this all about? Well…..
I received the inspirational nudge that, just like the crystals I help to move on to their keepers, the art I create holds much the same energy as a personal tool to empowerment. They are alive – “living art” – as I like to refer to them as. And for any “alive” crystal, piece of art, sculpture, etc., to just sit there in the dark, unable to nurture and connect in the way they were birthed to do, well… is just like wasting a precious, natural resource.
I’m in the process of channeling tons of new paintings (already have many canvases waiting where ever I’m able to store them) and literally have no room to store all these new paintings and canvases that have been, and will be, created until they go to an upcoming event, gallery, or new home. And honestly, I feel it is a shame to do so, even if I had the room, as they serve a purpose that can much better be fulfilled if lovingly connected with a new friend. That’s why it makes me happy when my work receives invite for exhibition, like some are currently, so that others can enjoy them and receive their intended energy.
I’ve also received the inspiration that I will be hosting an event/art show this year and am working at raising and saving resources to go towards putting that beautifully on to share with others.
All of these things have been percolating in the background without any conscious thread link, until I received the nudge and intuitive message it was time to let go and spread some MORE love!
To share the abundance of creative expression, integrative healing, joyous inspiration, conscious awareness, magical beauty and unconditional love is a valuable contribution to the now energies and the now light workers and visionaries creating the way!
The paintings being offered will be a mix of originals on canvas, giclees on canvas, or prints on fine art paper that regularly sold for (the already discounted prices of) $50 – $399 and now I’ll basically be giving them away for what could be less than cost to make, let alone the time to create, depending on the “Love Offers.” Crazy!
Some will be offered in only one format, others in 2 or more and there is only one available of each so if one speaks to you, you will not want to wait. Only one special piece has 3 small prints available.
There are 14 paintings in total that will be part of this “Love Offer” donation. I encourage you to offer a donation amount of your choice that reflects the value you feel you receive – a way to embrace the flow of service integrity of heart. There is no wrong or right amount 🙂
Each of these pieces have been some of my clients’ beloveds that either the original or giclees/prints had been purchased, leaving some remaining. I always keep on hand at least one giclee for purposes of efficient shipping turnaround. 🙂
These pieces make lovely gifts to self and others for that daily inspirational spark. Some are “big time” favorites among children and parents have used them as inspirational decor for babies’ and children’s rooms.
I will be posting them each day with a little about each. I will not take offers until I post them, but to get your feelers ready, I will name the paintings so you can have an idea of what to expect:
Phoenix Sunrise
Majestic
Gaia
Uniquely You, Divinely One
Legacy
Colors of Venice
Embrace Change
Lemurian Dreams
Kaleidoscope
Cosmic Earth Consciousness
Reflections
Everyday Miracles
Discoveries
Nestor
That being said, I will be offering my channeled creations to the first “Love Offer” donation from a patron of the arts, devoted lightworker, nurturer of human evolution, passionate visionary, Earth caretaker, or all-around-LOVE cultivator.
I will also gift each person a FREE “Tree of Life” (as it has now become known as) fine art print – a favorite of many
Here are the guidelines.
My responsibility and part:
- To provide a loving creation from my heart
- Offer my creative artistry and vision for a “Love Offer” donation
- Gift a special “Tree of Life” fine art print for FREE to accompany your purchase
- Infuse your creation with added activation of Love and Reiki before shipping it off
Your responsibility and part:
- Meditate on which creation would best mirror your desires
- Offer a donation amount of your choice that reflects the heart value you feel you receive from it
- Cover shipping costs
- Provide a loving home for your new creation

Hear Their Hearts – Voicing Animal and Earth Consciousness through Art
One of my passions, as a visionary, vegan artist and animal lover is to create compassionate animal art voicing healing awareness that supports Earth and human evolution.
Many of the themes of my paintings and design creations, are heavily focused on nature in all of its beauty and a reflection of “a return to natural harmony.” Spiritually animal-focused creations are one of my favorites, which include creating custom animal portraits, animal and Earth consciousness commissions, and my own original inspirations that reflect the miracle of life in all of creation.
These particular paintings are intended to give animals a voice through images that capture their essence and create healing awareness. I believe that animals are NOT voiceless and by being more present and unconditionally compassionate, you can connect at the heart level with all creatures and learn to hear what they each have to share. Listening with your heart connects you to theirs and the voiceless become deeply expressive.
It is my intention that these types of paintings will be part of a new era of animal art supporting a shift of perspective towards a more compassionate co-experience with these children of the Earth.
To commission an animal portrait or any reflection of Earth and animal love and inspiration you may have, please feel free to contact me at tania@taniamarie.com to help you bring that vision to life. http://taniamarie.com/index.html
“The animals have a message to share with us. We need only to listen.” ~ Tania Marie
“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the ‘Universe’ – a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ~ Albert Einstein
“Lots of people talk to animals…. Not very many listen, though…. That’s the problem.” ~ Benjamin Hoff
“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” ~ Anatole France
“Who can believe that there is no soul behind those luminous eyes!” ~ Theophile Gautier
“An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language.” ~ Martin Buber
Clarity of Heart – Malachite Looking Glass into the Heart of You

Rich light to dark green banded honeycomb Malachite wrapped in fine, pure silver with a pure sterling silver, 18” adjustable chain with lobster clasp. Wrapped crystal including bail is 2 1/4" tall x 1 1/4" wide x 11/16" deep. All silver is hypoallergenic (contains no lead or nickel) and American made.
I’m excited about the newest creation to our Joyful Earth Crystals line – Clarity of Heart– the first of several more Malachite beauties to emerge. What an amazingly gorgeous stone, not only for its powerful properties, but its incredible visual uniqueness. This particular piece is like a banded honeycomb portal with dimensional effect, as if a looking glass providing vision into the authentic depths of you.
Clarity of Heart is now available at our Etsy Shop.
You can find other lovelies there as well. Unfortunately, the L.O.V.E. Seed from yesterday’s post has already gone to its new keeper. But keep checking in, as more and more pieces will continually be birthing and yours may be percolating in the ethers.
Malachite Properties: opens the heart to unconditional love, creates peace and calm, provides a fresh new and fearless outlook to get in touch with your authenticity and inner child, soothes the soul, releases stress, supports emotional stability, promotes new beginnings, instills loyalty, promotes leadership and business success, is an important protection stone that can be worn to detect impending danger, aids blockage removal and inspires to help manifest goals, promotes growth and builds up strength, provides extra energy, power and wisdom, aids self-understanding and positive transformation, promotes increased physical and psychic vision, helps you find balance between ego and higher will, absorbs, protects and cleanses negative energies from the auric field, balances the wearer, guards against radiation and clears electromagnetic pollution, has wonderful healing properties, high copper content of the stone gives it a very steady pulsing electromagnetic energy field that clears and activates the chakras and attunes to spiritual guidance, encourages risk-taking and change, aids release of old traumas, breaks unwanted ties and outworn patterns, helps counteract self-destructive romantic tendencies, encourages true, pure love, teaches responsibility in all ways, releases inhibitions, develops empathy with others, alleviates mental disturbances and increases concentration, enables absorption and processing of information, stimulates dreams, helps wearer remember and renew the connection to the All.

Wear Malachite, hold it or place it on the alter to increase your ability to send power toward your magical goal (as it amplifies whatever energy you project), to guard against negativity and physical dangers, or if worn on the skin near your heart, to help expand your ability to love and draw love to you. Malachite is effective on all chakras, but particularly the Heart Chakra. It is an ideal meditation stone that supports understanding of yourself and others.
Malachite is deeply connected to ancient Egypt, going as far back as 4000 B.C. As the prime gemstone used for power by the upper class Egyptians, it was used most often in amulets, statues, and in the headdresses of pharaohs. In the Egyptian Book of the Dead it is said that the goddess of the sky “drops stars on the earth in the shape of green stones.” Malachite is often referred to as the Peacock Stone, as it was considered sacred to the goddess Juno, whose sacred bird was the peacock and the eye-like pattern within the stone resembles the peacock feathers.
One Unique L.O.V.E. Seed left – Lemurian Seed Crystals Supporting a New Earth
L.O.V.E. (Love Our Vibrant Earth) Seeds are special Lemurian Seed Crystal spheres created to help support us and the collective Earth as we enter a new paradigm. They are like fruits of the New Earth, seeding love in our blossoming hearts. Our Joyful Earth Crystals includes a collection of L.O.V.E. seeds in your choice of pendant or pendulum, each created and infused with love. They come into our lives at this major time of human evolution and bring with them the necessary tools for us to shift to higher consciousness with understanding of all that has come before and all that lies ahead. They share with us the key energy of Lemuria, that of unity and love, in order to reactivate this ancient memory within the planetary matrix so that it may become the way of life on the New Earth.
We have sold out of several of our designs and only have one left of the piece featured in this post. We will not be creating any more of these unique lobster clasp L.O.V.E. Seeds, so this piece is the last of its kind.
The featured L.O.V.E. Seed is unique in three ways:

L.O.V.E. Seed Pendant/Charm - a clear crystal ball Lemurian Seed Crystal sphere with feather inclusion that is fiery or rainbow when catches the light
1. it has a very large amount of pure 925 sterling silver used
2. it has a very unique lobster clasp making it extremely versatile to wear on any chain as a pendant, or to utilize as a charm on a bracelet, anklet, purse, zipper, or even your beloved animal companion’s collar – the possibilities are endless
3. it is like a crystal ball, as it is crystal clear, yet at the bottom it has a very unique feather inclusion suspended in the crystalline clear abyss that when caught by the light exhibits a rainbow or fiery glow, as caught in the photo at right
We do have more L.O.V.E. Seeds pendants on the way and will post them when they are birthed. For pre-orders simply contact me – Tania Marie at tania@taniamarie.com. And we do also have L.O.V.E. Seeds Pendulums still available which you can find at our Etsy shop.

L.O.V.E. Seed Pendant/Charm with lobster clasp - like a crystal ball with feather inclusion at the bottom that floats
Lemurian Seed Crystals were first discovered on the Serra do Cabral in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Each L.O.V.E. Seed is found and custom made in Brazil in a sphere shape then we at Joyful Earth Crystals hand craft them in pure 925 sterling silver. L.O.V.E. Seed pendulums are made entirely in Brazil with a silver plated chain. We infuse each with love, energy and intention – programmed for each unique person when they are purchased. Each L.O.V.E. Seed features clear, sparkling quartz – many with beautiful mirror and veil planes and rainbows visible inside. They all have wonderful and active energy. There are variations of Lemurians, each with their own energies. These clear Lemurian spheres bring guidance and clarity to one’s spiritual path.
Round sphere pendants and pendulums have no point to break or chip and is best for utilizing the most complete and whole energy of the crystal. Sphere sizes range from .75″ to 1″ in diameter. Pendulum chains are 8″ long. Pendants range from 1″ to 1 3/4″ long.
Pendulums are great for receiving answers from within. It’s not about trusting the pendulum, but about trusting yourself. Using a pendulum is a path of surrender. You surrender your physical self to your higher self and by doing that, you put aside your ego – that controlling part that wants to be right – and receive a universal heart answer. Make great gifts, for self or others, to help support a more heart centered and connected, global consciousness, while aiding individual empowerment.
Lemurian Seed Crystals are crystals that are reputed to have been seeded by the Lemurians – an advanced and peaceful, ancient civilization based on the consciousness of love and connection – to teach and guide us in this time. Lemurian Seed Crystals have been programmed to hold and transmit messages of unconditional love, conscious connection, and equality, while they assist us in remembering who we really are. They are very supportive, positive, and life affirming, as they enhance and encourage inner development and connectedness. They are also great for dream work and dream interpretation. Lemurian Seed Crystals have a very Yin or feminine energy, and for all their power are more gentle-feeling energetically than Yang/masculine crystals. They are very powerful tools for meditation, healing on all levels, and are excellent for clearing and balancing all chakras. There are vast universes inside each Lemurian Seed Crystal that is home to many beings of light and unique spiritual information and wisdom, as they are connected to inner earth, the earth’s surface, and the stars.
Lemurian Seed Crystals were planted in different areas of Brazil, millions of years ago, for the purpose of guiding a future generation toward healing enlightenment known of in ancient days. During the last days of Lemuria, it was decided to plant, or seed, crystals programmed to transmit a message of oneness. The Lemurian Culture’s center of consciousness was the emotional and spiritual dimensions of existence, unlike our modern world’s mentally based focus. They had a deep connection to the heart, which allowed the expression of unconditional love for the Divine and each other. Lemurian Seed Crystals also help us to maintain our connection with our spiritual source and teach us how to be both individuals and integral parts of the cosmic design. This is mirrored by each seed crystal’s energetic connection to all other seed crystals, while on the individual level, simultaneously doing its own work to pass forth their knowledge and programming for the earth, in preparation for the transitions and shifting changes in consciousness. There comes a responsibility, to honor and work with, when you and your Lemurian choose one another.
April 2012 Energy Forecast – Lee Harris
I always love Lee Harris’ monthly forecasts. I hope you enjoy the loving insights, support and inspiration from his video.
This month’s powerful mantra from Lee:
I forgive myself for everything. I forgive everyone for everything. I forgive my life for everything. I forgive my fear for everything. I forgive my judgment for everything. I forgive those that judged me. I forgive those that feared me. I forgive myself for love not yet given to myself. I love myself. I am free. I am free to be fully me.
