THE DRESS OF JOY
The Dress of Joy
This glass dress expresses the third shamanic perception of the Luminous Warrior. It embodies the acknowledgement, respect and contribution to each other’s power and expression in the world without feeling threatened by it. Mastery over the quality of discernment, recognition of what truly nourishes and maintains ultimate health for oneself and how this benefits and uplifts all that exists around us.
Fire is the guiding element: the transformative power
The soul story behind the third perception is the ability to flourish in the Joy to be oneself; freely expressing one’s truth without struggle or hindrance. Consequentially this enables the opportunity to receive the felicity of recognition, trust and encouragement from others to be oneself. With the intention to bring this attribute of Joy to life, space is granted to use the transformative power of Fire that guides this perception. This intention encourages growth into a free-flowing form that can transmigrate into any perception, or world one chooses to experience without restrictions or concepts that limit the expansion of the mind and its playing field. Therefore, one’s innocence and imagination remain intact so that the virtue of exploration and curiosity can never be dulled, ridiculed or demeaned and the integrity of Joy is maintained.
