APPLE GODDESS This acrylic painting belongs to the “Esoterica” collection. Conceiled within it is the secret yoga practice of raising the kundalini energy. The sun-like red female essence passes from the TanTien/Hara in the belly through the chest area, thereby unfolding the lotus of the heart chakra. At that time, Athena’s Apple dawns as transcendental Wisdom in the mind. Eventually, the sun-like red female essence unites with the moon-like white male essence at the crown in sacred marriage. Together, they produce Heavenly Manna, fountain of youth and siddha powers. This Print are a limited edition of only 108, NO OPEN EDITION. 108 is the number of spiritual completion. Mantras and prayers are traditionally counted with Malas or Rosaries, consisting of 108 beads each. Since ancient liberating secrets are concealed within Pono's artwork, she wishes her prints to circulate around the globe like Rosaries of Freedom Chant mantras. This artwork is museum grade giclee on canvas, numbered and hand signed by the artist, and included is the artist's story.
