Ten Tips to Save Human Creativity in a Chat Bot World Human Hearts Hands Creating Our Future Healthy Kristena West M.A.

Artists Dream, Crafters Imagine, Painters Feel into the Colors. What can bots do? They can mimic — but they can’t dream or create from the human spirit. This 35-minute creative film is a wake-up call for artists, writers, dreamers, and makers who still feel the pulse of imagination. Between the noise, the fear, and the endless scroll, this is your reminder that art is how the world heals. We travel through ten living practices — sketching the storm, listening to artists voices, slowing down to see again, holding sacred time, creating beauty that renews the human spirit and creating out of our healthy human hearts, and weaving our stories warp and woof with real human hands that know their craft to its bones. This is CREATION, PLAY & IMAGINATION emerging from Human Souls. It’s the art of staying alive in a machine world. Watch when you need to remember why you make anything at all. 🎧 Sit with your sketchbook. Light a candle. Drink some London Fog tea from a china teacup, while Kristena reminds you of your inherent birthright to change the world- You Artist YOU! #KristenaWestArt #SaveHumanCreativity #ArtAndHealing #ArtistsUnite #MachineWorld #HumanSpirit #SoulArt #ArtVlog #AIandArt #Imagination #ChatBotWorld

THOUGHT FORMS 
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? 

This week’s Vlog—Part #6 in the Thought Forms series—explores how emotions like anger, jealousy, and desire create moving mandalas around us.

Drawing from Thought Forms by Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater, and deepened through Steiner’s work on the moral and imaginal life of the soul, Kristena  explores the forms and colors of each thought form. 

Kristena has been exploring the spiritual, psychological and cross-cultural healing benefits of art making in her new YouTube channel Kristena West Art@Healing. 

How does the information in Thought Forms shift your approach to art?

🌀🎨 Before Kandinsky… 

There Was Hilma af Klint. 

🎥 Before Kandinsky: Hilma af Klint, Thought Forms, and the Spiritual Foundations of Modern Art

🔗 Watch my latest vlog: 

In this episode, I explore the legacy of Hilma af Klint—visionary artist, spiritual seeker, and one of the earliest pioneers of abstract painting. Decades before Kandinsky published his theories, af Klint was creating complex symbolic works inspired by direct spiritual experience.

This vlog focuses on the concept of thought forms—images generated through inner vision and clairvoyance—as central to af Klint’s practice and to the larger movement toward abstraction in early 20th-century art. Drawing from Theosophy, Rudolf Steiner’s teachings, and esoteric traditions, these artists sought to make the invisible visible.

I also reflect on the groundbreaking 1986 exhibition The Spiritual in Art: Abstract Painting 1890–1985 at LACMA, which helped surface the hidden spiritual roots of modern art. The show positioned af Klint alongside artists such as Joseph Beuys, Marc Chagall, and František Kupka—creators whose work emerged from inner worlds as much as external forms.

🎨 In this video, we cover:

• The role of thought forms and spiritual science in modern art

• Hilma af Klint’s connections to Theosophy and Steiner

• Why the 1986 LACMA show remains a turning point in art history

• A deeper look at women’s contributions to abstract and visionary art

This vlog is part of my ongoing series on esoteric influences in modern art. If you're interested in how consciousness, symbolism, and spirit shape artistic innovation—you’re in the right place.

Feeling the Chaos? Heal & Thrive: Use that Energy to Create Your Healing Art for Personal Power Kristena West M.A.

www.KristenaWestArt.cm Sometimes, the world feels chaotic, and our homes need a little extra light and protection. That’s exactly why I painted Athena in 2019, holding a mudra of beneficence—a sacred gesture of blessing and strength. I wanted to bring powerful, protective energy into my space, something to anchor me in wisdom and grace. Art has a way of doing that—it’s not just about paint on a canvas, but about intention, presence, and transformation. I’d love for you to explore this idea in your own way! What kind of healing art could you create for yourself? Whether it’s a small sketch, a full painting, or even a sacred symbol on your journal cover, art can be a portal to personal power and renewal. If you’re curious about diving deeper into intuitive art and spiritual creativity, check out my online classes—where we blend inspiration, technique, and a touch of magic! ✨🎨 Check out my freebies & online classes at www.KristenaWestArt.com and women's fashions & art at www.SunHeartBohoClothing.com

OLAF ASTESON HOLY NIGHTS ART & DREAM JOURNAL RETREAT ONLINE KRISTENA WEST M.A.

 

The Dream Song is an ancient Norwegian Folk Song. It was lost in time, but a clergyman named Landstad rediscovered it one night when he heard it in a winter’s deep valley in Telmark Norway.

The song tells us Olaf falls asleep on Christmas eve and "sleeps" through the holy nights waking on January 6th epiphany. Olaf while "sleeping" experiences secrets of the human being and cosmos. The dream-song gives us the "spiritual" pictures in poetic form of his initiation journey. As Joseph Campbell reminds us, the Hero's Journey is found in myths, legends and poem-songs. 

The 13 holy nights have been called, "time outside of time" or "sacred time." It's a wonderful way to end the year and begin the new.

Every Night a part of the dream-song is revealed along with dream techniques, virtues to ponder, and a journey through the zodiac.
