As written on my natural health protocol website and in my Vitamin D Lifestyle & Recipe Book, I have been fighting extreme fatigue and Endometriosis since 2013 and even though I reversed the disease as well as progression of MS lesions in the brain. Creating is just a wonderful way for my brain, mind and being to relax and enter into a different dimension.

Creating is all about identity, we create from who we are. Art is about beauty, healing, the brain creating new structures, new paths and new brain cells. Art is creativity in its finest form – It’s a spiritual healing journey.

I have experienced that God uses art to pass people’s minds. I have discovered that I can tap into a source bigger than myself from where I can draw healing, for myself and others. My hands manifest what my mind creates. It feels like occupying two territories at the same time: Heaven and Earth.

Ann Voskamp writes in her book «One Thousand Gifts: Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are» that «Joy is the realest reality, the fullest life, and joy is always given, never grasped». This is how I feel when I create out of my God given identity. Further she writes that «The whole of life even the hard is made up of the minutes parts, and if I miss the infinitesimals, I miss the whole».

«The whole of life even the hard is made up of the minutes parts, and if I miss the infinitesimals, I miss the whole»

Sometimes we miss the small minutes of what really matters and those moments that make it all complete. Creativity is to take time out of our busy auto pilot schedules that our minds usually are dictated by, and step into another dimension of joy and living, not just a state of mere existing in a day to day echo chamber of busyness.

My creative journey started with God. With that little voice and those big enfolding visions. We co-create with the invisible when we are imagining. It is like child’s play – we have the ability to imagine a life we have never lived.

So when all of my thinking had been shaped in a depressing matter, as a result of being in pain, having fatigue and being isolated – I chose to break that thought pattern by looking for new life giving thoughts, painting another dream envision another “film” to play on my mind. No one else could do that for me anyways.

It is in those moments that I know I am more than a body, more than a mind and more than just a human being.

It is in those moments that I know I am more than a body, more than a mind and more than just a human being. In those moments I am art, I am creativity, I am joy and I am whole. I express my identity, my truest self and I materialize it.

My journey started over 10 years ago with the sudden need to create jewellery and I used my lunch break at work to create all kinds of jewellery. I was just very drawn towards expressing my inner creative urges.

One day a lady at church wanted me to make her some jewellery. When I was done I had to meet her at another church kind of place, a prayer house, to deliver them to her. I came before she was finished with her singing session. While waiting for her I was drawn into the presence of God’s Spirit and the prophetic music.

Long story short that prayer house became my spiritual resting place for the next two years. While just being there I experienced God’s healing in many places in the deepest deep of my soul. I also envisioned many designs of jewellery and the creativity given to me was endless.

Not much later my jewellery was to be seen in the high end fashion boutiques of Oslo, the capital of Norway. Also on celebrities, and representatives of the Royal Family such as the daughter of the Norwegian King himself. The jewellery was also a main sponsor for Miss World Norway 2012 and was seen on the Norwegian contestant in China by over 50 million people worldwide that same year.

This sounds like a great story of success, but like I wrote elsewhere, I have been fighting fatigue and sickness for too many years and my art is part of the ongoing healing process. It is an important part that I’m constantly revisiting whether I am able to sell my art or not. That is why I use this in my Brain Art Coaching- which is a combination of my natural health protocol, neuroplasticity and art.
