This one aired on Halloween, which fell on Diwali that year. A painting is only as beautiful as the shadows that let the light come forward, and this session seeks out the hidden parts of your creative self.

Drop a golden cord from the base of your spine to the earth's core. Float on a gossamer cloud into a twilight landscape where sun-kissed peaks meet moonlit valleys: a forest of whispering ancient trees, a sky of purple and gold nebulae, a cavern lit by glowing fungi. Greet the figure who appears, your Shadow Self, and let it greet you back. Replace any tension with golden light and walk toward it with curiosity. Then welcome a golden globe or a rising flame and say "I am both shadow and light."

My voice was soft that day, so the bowls did more of the talking, mostly in C major, the key of childlike innocence. Welcome the shadows as messengers for your light.
