Description:

"Kina-Iya" Essence, Beingness: The Essence of Who You Are.

Gold, or "Bulawan," has long been revered across cultures and religions for its divine and sacred qualities. "Kina-Iya" reflects the principle, "As within, so without."

This artwork symbolizes the sun's radiant energy and the journey of remembering who you truly are. "Sino ka?" Beneath the layers of belief systems programmed into our minds, we often forget our true nature. Through remembering and recognizing who we are, we return to our center, our being, our essence, our "Kina-Iya."

Gold represents heavenly qualities, wisdom, and the divine presence. In Hinduism, as well as in spiritual and psychological traditions, gold is associated with the crown chakra, the energy center believed to connect us with one another and with the universe, awakening higher consciousness.

Like the radiance of the sun, it illuminates inner wisdom and spiritual awakening. "Bulawan" evokes feelings of success, confidence, and prosperity while representing the treasure within the soul and the infinite possibilities of unfolding our true selves.

The key to a joyful life is returning to our center. Return to love, for true love is possible right here, right now.

Excerpt from A Course in Miracles:

"Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the Peace of God."
