Energy Body Ways

Continuing with our look at art we will be exploring some different aesthetics and both their influences and well as their usefulness for your guided imagery.

These two pieces are from an artist I am largely unfamiliar with.  His name is Dragos Kalajic, also known as Drago.

His work is interesting, especially as it applies to guided imagery and the realms of mind.  Note first the previous piece by Luke Brown, which has a distinctly psychedelic, tryptamine-esque flavor reminiscent of experiences on psychedelic mushrooms, ayahuasca, or other forms of DMT.

Drago, by strong contrast, has a mythic quality, more reminiscent of Olympian astral planes.  Were I to compare and contrast it with psychedelic states of mind I would describe Drago’s work as more like LSD and perhaps some admixture with strong and well-refined hashish or honey oil.   But of course these are only analogies…

Let us examine two of Drago’s pieces.  I am sure they will give you many ideas for your own guided imagery explorations!

This clearly incorporates aspects of Norse mythology.  The many legged horse was Sleipnir, the steed of Odin, who used it to ride about the world at extreme speeds.

Interestingly for students of guided imagery, Sleipner was a shamanic transport of sorts, able to travel not just around the world but also into the underworld as well as through the heavens.  This is a classic motif for astral travel and I think the art shows this quite well.  Note, too, the portal of half-radiant light and the enthusiasm of the horse to get moving through the multiverse.

Here is another piece.

Again, excellent imagery for guided imagery and journeys to mental or Astral planes.  The yellow as a field of color, as a landscape or ground one can walk upon; the interesting floating geometric shapes; the eagle as a shamanic guardian animal as well as potential soul representation as it goes flying; and the winged headband all show shamanic and transcendental powers.

Enjoy these images and use them to evoke your own guided imagery to the higher and more visionary planes!
