About Libby’s Energy Art
Libby Baker is an artist and author who was born in New Zealand and now lives with her husband and family in Western Australia. Her passion was always to paint but during her school years she was encouraged by her parents to pursue a practical career path in general nursing at Wellington Public Hospital. Having worked as a registered nurse in New Zealand and Australia she diversified into health education, completing post-graduate qualifications in Occupational Health and Safety at Curtin University in Western Australia. Her career in safety management systems and organisational psychology has spanned 20 years consulting within mining, construction, railways, hospitality and health in Australian private and public sectors.
Following a personal health crisis she reassessed priorities and began a journey of self discovery that led her to the truth about self love and forgiveness. In her search to find a balance between nature, the body and mind she embraced alternative healing therapies and a previous passion for painting using watercolours and mixed media, often using leaves, stones, crystals and earth on her canvas.
Inspired by a dream about elemental spirits she began painting and found their images appearing in the wash of the watercolour. Their messages were captured in her self published book "Lillibet's Elemental Wisdom". This experience opened a completely different method of painting compared to her previous watercolour landscapes. It required total surrender to the paintbrush, allowing energy to come through her rather than from her. Baker says, "Letting go of fear and going with the flow of energy takes courage, faith and total trust that there is a bigger picture beyond the grasp of the human centred ego."
Can the Vibration of Colour Reveal Hidden Emotions?
Most people keep their feelings and emotions locked away at risk of being vulnerable. Libby's second book "Revealing Hidden Emotions" takes a unique approach to help people unlock hidden emotions. Readers are prompted to use the combinations of colour and form in eight chakra trees to map out their emotions and harmful behaviour patterns.
It has long been recognized that colour is a vibration and can have a direct influence on the energy centres (chakras) of the body. The belief that chakras were whirling disks of energy comprised of different colour combinations was recorded centuries ago as part of an ancient Indian healing tradition.
"Each chakra or energy center in the body invokes emotions or feelings that prompt our reactions and behaviour. The purpose of sharing this experience is to encourage all generations to learn skills that unlock hidden memories, cast off old patterns of behaviour that serve no purpose and open new pathways using the vast knowledge and energies of the earth and universe." says Baker.
The first four chapters of the book provide an opportunity for the reader to choose their colour and form combinations using eight chakra tree pictures. Each combination provides a brief message and reveals an emotion and behaviour. Chapter five provides information about emotions and behaviours connected to each chakra or energy centre in the body that the reader has selected. Chapter six is based on the energetic healing experiences that assisted Baker in retraining the brain, balancing energy centres and clearing energetic blocks that were harmful to her health.
The book reinforces the joy and freedom that comes from connecting with the senses and gives practical advice about how the skills of emotional intimacy can be developed to create a more peaceful and loving environment.
