| INfusion of Angelic Light by Aryk Allyn and Katelyn Mariah This is the story of the birth of INfusion of Angelic Light, which started as an experiment and quickly turned into an initiation and transformational process that changed both the lives of two artists. INfusion of Angelic Light is a technology that brings one back to their authentic power. As Gary Zukav points out in Seat of the Soul, authentic power is gained when the personality aligns with the soul. The soul knows your path, your talent, your conception, experience, and life lessons. Your soul wants to bring you to the point of enlightenment and exist in joy and peace. The process of creating and integrating each INfusion has been a return path to authentic power for Aryk and Katelyn. INfusion of Angelic Light can work in this way for anyone who uses it. INfusion Of Angelic Light INfusion of Angelic Light© is a new technology of Light and Love that is inspired by the angelic realm, in concert with two visionary artists. "Initiation" and "Integration" is the first in a series of meditation decks that uses a new technology called INfusions©, which support spiritual development and transformation. INfusions© are music and paintings that are alive with a resonance that reaches far beyond the material. The vibrational music and images in this deck resonate with ethereal energy that speaks the language of the soul through sound, color, symbol, numbers and movement. Each INfusion© is a key to a precise and specific energy. The energy penetrates the consciousness and brings to the surface everything that is not in alignment with itself. Art and music bypass the cognitive process and touch in the heart and soul, lovingly and gently meeting the person where they are on their evolutionary path. An INfusion of energy occurs. Think of it as an INfusion of light. New energy enters the cells and they are changed. Seeds of light are planted within the person. When viewed and listened to as a complete piece the energy is more powerful and alive. Aryk and Katelyn have experienced first hand the transformational nature of INfusion of Angelic Light© as it occurred in the process of creating the INfusions©. Each piece is created through a higher self to higher self-connection between the two of us -- Aryk and Katelyn. The music and paintings are created simultaneously, in a three-hour period with Aryk at his recording studio and Katelyn, 25 miles away at her studio. There is no other connection during the process. The beginning equation for each INfusion© is the angelic impressions perceived by Katelyn and Aryk when in spiritual contact with each other. Through this connection the angels come forward and guide the process of creating image and music that conveys a specific message. Each piece is created without preconceived ideas and the images, symbols, and sounds that come through are unfamiliar to them. After the piece is created and the symbols, colors and number sequences are researched and compared, they are found to mirror and support one another perfectly. The symbols that come through are a unique new representation of a blend of universal and cross-cultural symbolism that are brought together in a cohesive message. The beginning The idea to do the first INfusion came about as an experiment to see if Aryk, a visionary composer, and Katelyn, a visionary artist, could connect with one another at a soul level and simultaneously create music and art that had some kind of relatedness. The concept arose over time as they worked together to find a way to combine their talents. They both have a strong connection to the angelic realm. Going into this experiment they had no idea what if anything would happen. Katelyn: "Where is the beginning when you are involved in a process like this? The idea that two people can make a soul to soul connection with one another from 25 miles away, without having conversation, connect with the angelic realm and create something that is reflective of the other seems impossible. Is it made possible by years of personal work and inner clearing or by the belief that it is possible and opening to the energy? From the moment we met, our connection defied space and time. It is like a reunion of two souls who have known one another forever. Aryk and I have a connection that is deep and timeless. Could it be that this eternal connection makes it possible for us to create the INfusions, which is what we call each piece that is the blend of art and music. Or is it the childlike innocence that we both retain that has made this possible?" Aryk: "The process of creating an INfusion© begins with the belief that two or more individuals can somehow connect into one spiritual consciousness. Far-fetched? No more than a congregation praying together on a common theme, like peace in the world, and expecting that it will make a difference and possibly bring about peace. If one believes in the existence of angels, why not communicate with them and allow them to communicate with us? Belief and making the attempt are the key." * * * Whatever the case may be, Aryk and Katelyn have created a process of connecting with each other and the angelic realm that is not only real, but it also brings through them wisdom that is Trans-cultural and timeless. Everything that has happened since the beginning of INfusion of Angelic Light has been driven by something of a higher realm. Katelyn and Aryk were directed to do this in a certain way and given information about what was happening. They were to do 22 INfusions©, one every four days for three hours. As both artists went on, they learned that the first 11 were called "INitiation," because the series took one on an initiation that brought to view and released anything that was not light or love. The second 11 were called "Integration," because the initial steps taken in the first set cleared the way for an integration of spiritual light with the physical being. The connection Katelyn: "I have always been intrigued by ritual and ceremony and have found ways to integrate it into my life, as I feel it gives focus to my intentions. People have been using ceremony in this way since time began. It was natural for me to create a ceremony to use to connect with Aryk and the angelic realm for the INfusion© process. "My ceremony includes lighting candles, creating sacred space, meditation and connecting chakra to chakra with Aryk. I create each painting sitting lotus style in front of my shrine. I do the same process each time I connect. My process also includes preparing my creative space so that I have all of my supplies within reach. "Every four days Aryk and I determined a time to connect. At the appointed time, I connect with him through my ceremony and I can feel the energy shift immediately. When I invite the angels into my space, I feel the energy enter through the back of my head. We stay in this soul connection for three hours and create without any physical contact. Our studios are 25 miles apart. Each of us completes our work in the three-hour time so the piece is complete at the end. To complete a piece in three hours, one must commit to accepting what comes through them with out questioning it." Aryk: "For my part, I am not one long on ceremony, but I do take time for an hour before the agreed upon time of beginning to be calm and try to center myself. Perhaps, I will meditate, perhaps not, depending on the energy I am feeling. I try to let myself become clear and free to allow energy to flow easily through me. Sometimes I pace the floor before starting to compose, and sometimes I lay on the couch or floor and close my eyes. About 20 minutes before the INfusion© hour, I will turn on my computer and sound equipment and set up a new project in my software, initiate a percussion track, and save it as the new INfusion©. Then I will tune my 12-string guitar and my 6-string guitar. This is about as much ritual as I practice. The tuning of my guitars is my real meditation. It focuses me and prepares the way for whatever music will be forthcoming. " The process Katelyn: "I have been doing visionary art for about 10 years. I worked for a number of years to clear myself so that I could step out of the way and let my art create itself, using me as a vehicle. As others became familiar with my work, I was told that I was tapping into other levels of consciousness and Trans-cultural wisdom, and it was springing naturally from me through my artwork. I learned that I could make a connection between my higher self and another persons higher self and create images. The images that were created spoke in personal ways that touched them deeply. So the thought of connecting with another person on a soul level is not foreign to me. What is new to me is connecting with another person and consistently coming up with the same information. "To begin, I get and initial visual impression in my third eye, which I sketch in the journal, I am keeping for this process. This is followed by a supporting message, which is also written in my journal. I find that when I go back to read what I wrote I am surprised not to remember it. I then begin the painting with a light sketch of the image on the paper in gray watercolor pencil. From there I am lead on a journey to complete the image. "At first, the images I painted in this process had a simple and naïve quality to them that I questioned, as they were not reflective of my artistic ability. Part of my process was to accept that they were what they needed to be. After completing 14 pieces, I can see the perfection in that the simplicity and naiveté are reflective of the initiation process as it occurs. "The process of creating INfusions© and INfusion of Angelic Light© has changed my life, released me from old belief systems that have challenged me for years, and has made me more capable of loving unconditionally. I have gotten feedback in the past about my artwork and how it touches people deeply. I know that INfusion of Angelic Light© will have the same kind of impact." Aryk: "At the appointed hour, I sit calmly in front of my computer with my 12-string plugged in and ready to play. Sometimes I will play random chords and notes, sometimes not. When the INfusion© really begins in earnest, I will begin to play something that has a sense of completeness. It has a feeling that is unique and purposeful and I will know it is the music. I analyze the music enough at the onset to put down a basic repetitive percussion part that captures the rhythm of the piece so that I can play with that throughout the composition. This ensures that the entire piece will be rhythmically tight. Once I have created the basic percussion track, I continue with the creation of the 12-string guitar part having no idea what I am going to play next. Eventually, I reach a point in the composition that culminates in a finish. This is the end of the INfusion© as far as the basic structure of the composition. Usually, it is obvious at this point because there is some kind of flourish that signifies finality. "After saving the work, I then add a bass part accompaniment to the 12-string track, then add a complementary 6-string guitar part. During the addition of the bass and 6-string parts, I am still in spiritual connection. The parts often seem to play out in a particular style that fits the piece. Sometimes a definite motif is developed or a particular rhythmic part that is essential in giving the piece its own definition and characteristic mark. Only after all the parts have been recorded and saved do I begin to break the spiritual connection. "It really is quite an amazing phenomenon. I feel complete gratitude and humbleness to be a part of something so beautiful and profound. My life has changed and transformed and I feel that I am an improved individual from this effort." * * * Some of the INfusions© have energy in them that brought the artists to joy and ecstasy while others brought them to deep levels of inner crisis. Parts of the process were very painful, exhausting, and on a couple of occasions so intense that each of them wanted to quit. Something always pushed them to continue. Katelyn: "At the end of three hours, Aryk will call me and we will talk about what occurred. After the first session, we were both stunned at how perfectly in sync the art and music were. We questioned if it could happen again. After the fourth image, we were convinced that something real was happening and we were able to settle into trusting the process. Many synchronicities occur during the process. For example, in the middle of one session I needed to go downstairs to use the bathroom and on the way back up I hit my knee and nearly passed out. At the same moment Aryk's computer locked up and he had to reboot it. Thank God he had saved it along the way. I have chronicled many others in my journal. "With each piece we create, we continue to be in awe about having the same feelings at the same time, of finding numerical sequences that show up in the music and the image and symbolism that shows up that is reflective of deep esoteric teachings that neither of us are aware of before hand. I research the symbols after the process. Often the meaning of the symbolism has been echoed in the message I receive." Aryk: "I am never short of amazement every time I do an INfusion© with Katelyn. Something quite profound happens every time and we have always connected and feel similar emotions, if not exactly the same. Numbers are shared between us when we do this. Katelyn may have a pattern of stars in her image that is reflected in some part of the music. Often, if she has an object that appears, say, six times, the meter of the composition may be in six, or there is a rhythmic pattern that is six. Words are shared with us and often after completing an INfusion©, one of us will express words that the other has written down." * * * Each piece is created without preconceived ideas and the images, symbols and sounds that come through are unfamiliar to them. After the piece is created and the symbols, colors, and number sequences are researched and compared, they are found to mirror and support one another perfectly. The symbols that come through are a unique new representation of a blend of universal and cross-cultural symbolism that are brought together in a cohesive message. Through the process of creating Infusion of Angelic Light and living with them the last six months, Aryk and Katelyn have discovered that each INfusion is a bridge to self-knowing. An INfusion of pure Love permeates one at the cellular level and purifies the path to self-love, understanding, union and wholeness. In receiving INfusion of Angelic Light and birthing it into form, they have both been transformed. Integration After creating INfusion of Angelic Light and experiencing a great deal of transformation we thought our process was complete. We quickly discovered that we would recycle through the 22 INfusions two more times. The entire process took us on a nine-month journey. The initial creation process was a process of Knowing. We began to know the energy that we had created as it shed light on that which was not like itself and we were moved to release and clear old beliefs systems. The second process was one of Experiencing the energies first-hand as we went through a vision quest process that took us deeper into ourselves and helped us see behavior patterns that no longer served us. The final stage was one of Being in which we became the energy of each INfusion. The entire process has brought us to our center and the place of authentic power, the source of Love and creativity in each of us. In April, we witnessed the transformational power INfusion has on other people. After an interview on Spirit of the People at KDWA in Hastings, Aryk and Katelyn did energy INfusion readings for the staff at the station. It was clear by people's comments and the noticeable shift in energy that INfusion of Angelic Light had a deep impact on each one of them. Katelyn and Aryk each did half of the reading, which also created a balance of masculine and feminine. There are numerous ways to work with INfusion of Angelic Light including readings, meditation or just listening to the music and enjoying the images. Each method lends a path of transformation that is perfect for the person experiencing it. Aryk and Katelyn are available for personal readings by appointment. A session includes a personal ceremony and reading of the cards and experiencing the music. People may choose to do a more in depth session that includes ceremony, personal reading and the creation of a personal INfusion of art and music. Aryk and Katelyn are also available for readings at private parties. In September, Aryk and Katelyn are doing a salon workshop that covers all 22 INfusions. Those who participate will be given a copy of INfusion of Angelic Light and asked to incorporate each INfusion into their personal spiritual growth methodology for a week and share their insights in class. The workshop is intended to be a multisensory experience to include various methods of creative expression. Katelyn and Aryk will share the personal journey and insights they encountered during their creation of this profound work.
