For anything to become something, it first has to be an idea and then it can be translated into something tangible, in this physical realm. But where do ideas come from? In my Evangelina collection, Evangelina is given an emerald book in a library in Oxford and there is a hand written note tucked inside it. The book contains a secret, on how to manifest your deepest desires.

It’s odd really, that last week when I had no time to paint at all I had ideas and inspiration swarming around my head like wasps around an English picnic. Yet today, when I have some precious time to paint, I am blank. Totally devoid of how to start a painting.
.......
Most of my art inspiration happens in dreams. Or in the semi awake state when you first wake up. I think it’s because my brain waves are in their most creative place (Alpha) at that point, and I can tap into this before the autopilot and routine of the day set in. I sometimes journal to capture good ideas. I do this before going to bed as it can stimulate new ideas overnight.
To help my inspiration and sending out an ethereal net into the Universe to catch ideas, I looked up a little more about dreaming. Being a trained scientist, I am drawn to evidence. I want to know how something works. The I use art to explain the 'why'.

Some Dream Facts
1. The scientific study of dreams is called oneirology
2. Women tend to have more frequent dream recall than men
3. A small minority of people only dream in black and white
4. Some people can have up to seven dreams per night
5. Dreams can make a creative thought occur to a person
6. Dream length can vary from a few seconds to thirty minutes
7. Dreams can be more easily recalled if the person is woken during dreaming.
This is where I try to have my journal handy so I can scribble down ideas before they vanish.
8. Eating foods (not just cheese) before bed raises the metabolism and reduces sleep quality which can make waking more likely and mean you remember your dreams. So whilst cheese often gets a bad press, maybe its just a more common snack.

But, the best way to actually get ideas is to tap into altered mind states rather than go into deep dreaming. Such a state is the alpha brainwave. This is the secret that Evangelina discovers in the book she was given. She found out that there are three steps to manifest things using the power of the alpha brainwave state.

It is a method initially written about by Jose Silva. Silva claimed to have developed a program that trained people to enter certain brain states of enhanced awareness. He also claimed to have developed several systematic mental processes to use while in these states allowing a person to mentally project with a specific intent. According to Silva, once the mind is projected, a person can allegedly view distant objects or locations and connect with higher intelligence for guidance.

We don’t know if he was the first person to discover this or whether he was just the first to write about it. First you have to get yourself into the alpha state. This is the state just before you fall asleep usually. It can be tricky to get into and to stay in without actually falling asleep. It will not work then because your subconscious mind takes over.

The best way to get into alpha I have found, is to count backwards from fifty. The better you get at it, the lower the number you need to start from. When you reach that state where you notice you are sleepy, you then follow the three steps that Evangelina read in the book.
1. Imagine a white screen in front of you and with closed eyes, look up. Picture on the screen an image that depicts the pain of not having what you want to manifest
2. Then in your mind, move that screen away to the left. Move in a new blank screen. Then make up an image on that screen of you doing something that might help you to get what you want. Make it big and bold and colourful.
3. Then move that screen away to the left and replace the image with the results of how you feel when you have that which you wish to manifest.

I love the fusion of the interior with the laptop but an old phone. It goes with that painting where it looks like vintage somehow but her shoes are modern and she has an AirPod in her ear and a smart phone on the table.
