I drew this beauty 2 1/2 years ago. I started it a month before I communed with Mother Ayahuasca (something I wasn't aware I'd be doing when I began this). I finished the drawing (about 2/3 of it) after my life-altering encounter with Mother Aya. I had been drawing in this style since I was about 11 - so I didn't intentionally make it an "Ayahuasca" drawing. She just sort of turned out that way as my old style collided with the new energies coursing through my system. This was the first drawing I had finished since I was in college for art/graphic design (so in over 10 years).
Cats have always held a special place in my heart. My first kitty, Ebony, was all black and a total sweetheart. I don't remember getting her because I was just a toddler. Ever since her, I've always felt a kinship with felines - big and small. As a shy, introverted child, my relationships with kitties became so very meaningful.
Synchronistically, there ended up being a black cat, named Lotus, in our Ayahuasca ceremony circle - in the middle of the Brazilian Amazon. Lotus' presence is one of the factors that reassured me that I was indeed being called to this sacred medicine.

I could talk more about this symbology here - but want to keep this fairly brief. Just know that there is a correlation between the bird & snake a Kundalini energy. Though, I was not aware of any of this while drawing it - and in the midst of this creation (during the Aya ceremony) was when my Kundalini spontaneously activated.
What I learned from the process of drawing this piece was that when you open up to incoming energies and information, the Universe (both inner and outer) can communicate quite a bit with you if you are paying attention. I don't believe in coincidence. :)
This past week, I finally had her framed. They did a wonderful job! I can now hang her on my wall and cherish her. I hope you enjoy my Egyptian Aya Kitty as much as I have.
She is complete!
As a bonus, last night, my husband made the discovery that the aura around the cat glows in black light! Pretty rad!!
My name is Melina. I'm an Intuitive Healer who's been on her own profoundly challenging and intensive healing journey the last 2 1/2 years. Prior to this time, I was already very focused on holistic nutrition and natural healing modalities. But things shifted drastically after my communion with Mother Ayahuasca in the summer of 2015. I've since learned invaluable lessons about myself, as well as the nature of the reality on Spaceship Earth. Though what I went through was total and complete hell for quite a while, I knew I was going through it not only to heal my (and my family's) wounds, but also to eventually help support others in their healing process. Through working with my Shamanic Healer, a Somatic Experiencing Therapist, my Intuitive Health Practitioner, and many other healers, I have compiled quite the tool chest. My most recent discovery was the Medical Medium. Much of the diet related suggestions I give come directly from him - as he has helped restore my physical health. Other than authoring Steemit articles, I'm an artist, an advocate for personal sovereignty, and wife of the amazing Chuck Williams (Dash Digital Cash UI/UX Tech Lead). As I continue to heal from chronic illness, I'm working more and more at being an Intuitive Self-Development Adviser (a label I hope is descriptive and clear about the gifts I offer in supporting others). Blessings on your healing journey. <3
