Last time I thought about quitting fashion I bought myself a weekend sound healing workshop. Thinking I could use my connection to sound and color for a more direct approach to helping people(making bright clothes often feels like the long way around). I love the sound of the crystal bowls and the full body high that comes from being surrounded by concentrated tones. Instead of leaving the workshop ready to lead a sound bath I left with visions of clothing I was dying to make! The instructor spoke of using intention to change the vibration of a room. She said we could walk into a party and concentrate on sending love out of our chest, and that, that love would make a difference in the way people interacted with each other. She offered this as a way to counteract social anxiety. Focus on the love. I thought about secretly helping people along. The emcee of a fundraiser for a nonprofit music program invited me to dress him for an event. I wondered if I used the heart chakra color to dress him (green) if it wouldn’t contribute to enhancing the love in the room. And seeing that green is also the color of money, possibly raise more funds for the cause. These are the shirts I made.
