Positive psychology 07.02.2016

My dear readers, today I have an unusual article on my blog. I want to talk to you about gifts for the soul. Do you like to give them? What about receiving? I will say about myself that such gifts are always especially dear to me. I myself love to find something so spiritually interesting, and how I value those gifts that are given to me for the soul and from the heart.

Probably, many of you also want something for the soul - to do something for the soul, to buy something for the soul, to give something from the heart to loved ones and friends. I want these to be things that are inspiring, that mean something, that speak about something... Sometimes you go to stores, look for something interesting there, and don’t find anything that resonates in your soul.

For those who love to give and receive gifts for the soul

For the New Year, I just received such a gift from Lena Khutornaya. Many of you know her. Lena runs a column on my blog and also edits all the articles in our magazine Scents of Happiness. I received from Lena a panel that is so affectionately called “Lullaby”.

And how I was amazed by the description of this work. I want to introduce it to you: “This will be your sweetest dream, the most beautiful, the most tender. It will be so long, so deep and realistic that it will seem better than any life. And yet you know, you feel that such dreams are possible only because we live. And therefore you will wake up and move on with your life. And your life, of course, will be better than any dream, because only it is real enough to give you real happiness.”

This panel stands in front of me, warms my soul, light comes from it, I feel its energy. Lena's work is filled with soul, warmth, love, and precisely light. They contain a message of striving for the best, an impulse of faith in the future, in all the good that is in us.

Here is Lena's work, which I received as a gift. Panel "Lullaby".

Heartfelt gifts for a woman, a man, a girlfriend, a friend, a loved one

All drawings say something, mean something, but in fact the main thing is what we ourselves see in them, as in all creative objects. If the soul responds, if something stirs inside, then this is it, the one. If, at the sight of drawings, thoughts appear, associations with something or someone, if they are pleasant, or curious, or just something very necessary, such that they came and do not go away, then for some reason we need it , and this is always the main indicator of the need for something...

I myself love images that evoke movements of the soul, revival in it, a rush of inspiration. You take a direct look, and the inside becomes warmer, the flower brightens, and the flower from which something is then born begins to bloom. It's like growing your own garden - a garden in your soul. You never know what it will be like, but something beautiful is born in it every time.

Such drawings help to grow this garden, like light, moisture, invisible, but so necessary for growth, development, and advancement.

Blossoms for us. Prosperity. Magic.

Everything depends on us, and sometimes it’s just a matter of whether we respond to our impulse or not. Therefore, you need to listen and hear yourself. And see what will help us realize our dreams.

Paintings and panels as a gift

Drawings can be presented in the form of panels on plastic or on canvas. All drawings are accompanied by texts, so that the desired image can be selected both by pattern and color, and by the meaning it contains.

Dance of the night butterfly

A marvelous garden blooms by the lake, in a valley between the mountains. It's always summer there, and wonderful music plays there every night. Let your dance be light and patterned, like a lace shawl on the shoulders of a beautiful woman. Share it with the one you love. The garden is blooming, filled with love. And may it always bloom.

Silk Moon

I will see the depth behind the beauty of the patterns. Wisdom will be revealed in the depths. Wisdom will give strength. The forces will help me on my path. And the beauty of the pattern will be born and lead.

Melua Sun

Sensuality and passion. Depth and tenderness. Velvety, soft, warm. Spicy, hot, juicy. Strong - to the point of screaming. Overwhelming - to the point of pain. Pouring out - to the point of tears. Calming, lulling... You will always reach the center of your sun, because this sun is in you.

Achievement

You'll catch up when you stop catching up.

Cards for congratulations

Also, drawings can be presented in the form of postcards with texts. Printed on matte paper, they look very deep, bright, velvety.

Intuitive and metaphorical cards

Intuitive cards are used for harmonization, for mood, for inspiration. Also, using them, you can purposefully work on yourself, on your spiritual growth, dealing with the problems and tasks that face us. They awaken our intuition, subconscious and help us find answers within ourselves, because only we ourselves know these answers.

You can read more about intuitive and metaphorical maps.

You probably noticed the names of the panels and the description itself. How subtle everything is. I myself love looking at these panels, Lena’s drawings, and I always read the descriptions. And I don’t just read, but re-read them. This gives me an extraordinary inner state - it is difficult to describe it in words. Probably, if each of us were asked: “What is the soul?” How would you respond? That’s exactly what it’s all about here... And the mystery, and the magnetism, and the light, and the peace, and the message, and our hopes and dreams.

And Lena also has wonderful books. I also read them with pleasure when I want something so extraordinarily soulful. I'm currently re-reading her book My Beautiful Game. I always read Lena’s books slowly, you know, as they say, savoring them.

All books by Elena Khutornaya can be viewed here.

In my opinion, such gifts for the soul can be given to your friends, they are suitable for both men and women, it will be a pleasure to give this gift to your loved one - to surprise him. There are many reasons to give such a gift. It could be a gift for the soul for a birthday, some kind of joint event, a holiday. And just a gift for no reason. Is it bad? I think that he will never leave you indifferent. And your friends can rejoice with you. For me personally, it is a great joy to give gifts and see how sincerely people enjoy them.

It looks like just a jar... but inside there are beautiful words of love. And they are beautifully decorated - on small folded pieces of paper tied with a ribbon. And there are 100 of them! Such a warm and sincere gift will especially appeal to romantic people. But receiving 100 declarations of love is pleasant for anyone, even a mega brutal man.

This gift is suitable for anyone. You just need to choose the right words. For a mother or grandmother, for example, these will be more words of gratitude. For a husband or boyfriend - words of love. For a teacher or director - words of recognition and gratitude.

Buy a transparent jar with a lid and decorate it with the words “100 reasons why I love you.” Print out the confession phrases, cut them out, roll them up and tie them with a thin satin ribbon (0.5 cm wide). You can number them on the reverse side.

Here is a list of 100 reasons to love. Just edit it first by adding something personal from yourself.

When receiving gifts, we want it to be a pleasant surprise for us, as well as a useful or very beautiful thing. But the most important thing we want from a gift and from the person who gives it to us is personal relationship!

I want the gift to be more than just an unnecessary or given away item. An item purchased in order to somehow, through a stump, fulfill the debt of the donor. Namely, that object that is created, selected, made - namely specifically for you, taking into account your wishes and preferences.

This is the kind of gift that will delight you, be remembered for a long time and bring a lot of pleasure. These are exactly the kind of real heart-warming gifts that will be author’s gifts - handmade gifts , handmade by master craftsmen. Such souvenirs have a number of undeniable advantages compared to mass production.

Uniqueness and secret meaning

Probably the main advantage of handmade gifts is that a present of this kind can be made taking into account the specific wishes and requirements of the customer. What makes something more valuable and unique.

A product of this kind can carry a hidden meaning that will be understandable only to a limited circle of people. And such a gift will undoubtedly bring much more pleasure to its owner.

Quality and detailing

TO benefits exclusive gifts include the fact that a handmade object is subject to careful elaboration by the master.

The gift will be the embodiment of the soul, thoughts, knowledge and skills, and life experience of the author.

The result of the work of an individual craftsman is several times higher quality and thoughtful than a similar factory-produced product.

Many options

Another undeniable advantage is the variety of execution options for the same thing.

Do you want to give your boss a horse, a symbol of freedom and speed?

Please, everything is at your service - the horse can be made using almost any technique, from embroidery and beadwork to designer toys and wooden sculptures.

What types of handmade gifts are there?

What are the most common, popular and popular gifts? - a box of chocolates, really? But you can make candy bouquets, candy figures and even sculptures! How surprised will the recipients be when they receive such beauty as a gift:

Handmade jewelry

Piece by pebble, by bead, by the smallest bead - the master's hands collect jewelry. Jewelry is meant to decorate us.

And when you buy jewelry in a store and go out into the street, you see a dozen more exactly the same twin clones on other girls, will you be pleased? This is no longer a decoration, but an equalization. Or “incubator”, as they joked in the good old Soviet times :)

Author's dolls

Author's doll and toy - that's where the most exclusive gift is! The master, of course, will take into account your requirements as a customer, but each of his creations - be it dolls or toys - will have its own character, appearance, facial expression and mood!

The doll is already individual from the very first moment of creation. It’s not for nothing that in ancient times dolls had a sacred meaning.

Interior items

Decorate your everyday life with unique products made using the decoupage technique - boxes, boxes, key holders, furniture - taking into account your wishes and preferences.

In general, think, our dear consumers of goods and services, who you want to be - an individual or one of many, many, many, whether part of the gray crowd or a thinking adequate person!

A gift is a thing that is given as a gift with all the heart. It can also be called a sign of respect, a way of expressing feelings and attitude towards the person for whom the gift is intended.
