There are many types of Dragons and those conjured by human greed bring massive death through pestilence and suffering. Sometimes we forget that all mortals die, it is a matter of when and how, which we all decide on. In this time of Chaos, may the Dragons of Earth, Land, Sky and Sea bring great change to the world. The wheel of the Earth spins for us all, and we shall see what comes. What the tapestry of fate had woven, can be torn by dragons' claws. Nothing is for certain, except that after all the upheaval and destruction, Death comes for all. And when the Old World dies, a new one will be born. ~artemsomnia Last night in my dreams there were giant serpents in the water as I swam at night in the beach. Strangely there were many other people too, and we were all dodging the the serpents who moved as whales (they were as big as whales) gliding through the crowd ..... so great power has been on the move ... and we ... are all late to the party The night before I held a blue or red skull that loudly declared "People will be dying! People will be dying!" it was so loud that I kept trying to turn down the volume but I couldn't ... when I went back to my dream to find out more, I saw many people crying "I am sick! I am sick!" they were suffering and wanted release .... As they were released I saw flowers and light surround them. All of us are connected in the ocean of time-space within a web of energy. We can feel what surrounds us and what may come. Some feelings stir up images, and some die down or are stifled out. Thank you for watching my video, liking and subscribing will help me.

Here is the Photoshop Coloring Process Video for line art that I inked by hand and then photographed. This is a Comic Character from the General Fantasy Martial Arts world in imaginary comic land. I basically crop a photo of my lineart, then fill the whole thing with the background color of choice, Reduce the opacity of the fill layer to 50% and use a lasso tool to erase the parts I want to color in. Whenever I color a different part of the image, I either use Multiply for general color, Darken for Shade or Lighten for Light. At the end I used Hue to make him more blue because it is supposed to be "night time". To make the thumbnail I mirrored the two versions of the image (blue and no blue) and added stuff to the tree :P Let me know if you have any questions or have requests on different types of art videos And please tell me what is in that tree because I haven’t tried guessing yet lol To support me with Tips & Donations "Normal" Currency (non-Crypto ): https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=VHR44E3RAKA3S Crypto: https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/78428d7a-20f4-4154-be01-1337598427d5 #penandink #lineart #comicart #comicartist #illustration #illustrator #mangastyle #animestyle #lineart #originalchatacter #characterdesign #inking #madewithphotoshop #photoshop #digitalillustration #artprocess #martialarts #martialartswarrior #murim #武士 #art #artist #warrior #swordfighter #nighttime #fantasycharacter #fantasymartialarts #martialartsworld #武俠漫畫 #武

https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-on-russia-and-its-people I know that Russia is a huge nation with 11 time zones, so this is a very general reading. And if any Russian people are reading this, please let me know what you thought of it. I decided to do readings on all four of the major conflicting countries that I keep hearing about in my area of the globe. Tarot Reading about the Taiwan Populace https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-on-taiwan Tarot Reading about the American People https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-the-american-people Tarot Reading about China and its People https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-on-china-and-its-people The Situation Passivity and connection with intuition as they see a hopeless situation despite of overcoming failures. Connecting to intuition can bring a sense of inner hope when the external situation is looking hopeless. The People The people think that they have all they need but there is a lot of fighting going on …. I am going to interpret this as it seems as if the whole world is fighting and competing against them. But if I stick with keeping this an internal reading then I am going to say that they think they have everything they need but competition is fierce and they have to keep fighting. They feel like they have ample resources and skills. What they don’t know is that they are not able to work properly on their workload because of the mental anxiety of always having to be ready for a fight. The workload may be trip them up, but it is not due to the amount of work, but rather to the mental anxiety surrounding it. What can help is looking towards goals and emotionally disengaging from the external work to find inner peace and calm. What grounds them is mental pain of constantly being attacked. What crowns the situation is a major hang up … They are unable to move past or “get over” the issue at hand and despite of constant self-reflection, there is no sense of “resolve”. So even if the issue ends externally, there is internal conflict over it. In this type of situation, the self must be able to let go of the anxiety surrounding this painful self-reflection and let go … In a sense Self-Forgiveness and allowing things to be. Even when everyone is fighting us, we can not allow them to force us to fight ourselves. General Message I get a strong sense of a need to “let go” by emotionally disengaging with an environment that is the source of anxiety and constant attack.

https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-on-china-and-its-people This is part of a series of Tarot readings on major countries that I see in the news a lot in my little area of the globe. Here are readings I did on other countries: Tarot Reading about the Taiwan Populace https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-on-taiwan Tarot Reading about the American People https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-the-american-people Tarot Reading on Russia and its People https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-on-russia-and-its-people The Situation There has been a break-up of law & order enforcement due to tackling too many problems. All of society is still working towards a common goal but problems keep coming up and now it they hard to resolve them because of the enforcement of law and order is not functioning well and is either nonexistent or overbearing and over-done at times. The People They think that is it best to stay emotionally disengaged so that they don’t have to constantly feel attacked … they just don’t want to be trapped by anxiety. It seems like they have internalized the anxiety and have come to a resolve by disengaging from the external world and pulling themselves inward. They feel like thing are moving really fast even though there are many unresolved issues. It is difficult to find time for self-reflection when everyone or everything keeps rushing forward and events keep striking out of nowhere. So things are left unresolved and everyone has decided to just emotionally disengage from the drama. What they don’t see is that they have financial resources and are no longer failing. There is a balance a resources and things are not failing. What can help them not forcing themselves to work so much and focus on building skills. Like they don’t have to keep forcing themselves to keep doing monotonous labor, and instead should focus on building skills that will lay a foundation for them. I feel like this is related to stability of resources and skills associated in building and maintaining a strong foundation of capital (financial foundation and resource allocation). What Grounds the reading is connecting to inner wisdom sitting back to allow for things to happen. Passivity in that the flow of events is allowed to happen as we connect to inner self, the inner realm, and what we truly want or need. What Crowns the reading is turning inwards for Inner Truth when the outside environment is filled with lies. The Grounding and Crowning card connects here is that the external world seems broken and filled with lies so Guidance must or should come from within, in order to known what is needed. I feel like there will a be a lot of questions about this reading as it seems perplexing … let me know if you have any questions or comments. General Message The Inner Self knows, connect with the truth within when the world seems broken and you will find the way.

Here are readings I did on other countries: Tarot Reading about the Taiwan Populace https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-on-taiwan Tarot Reading about China and Its People https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-on-china-and-its-people Tarot Reading on Russia and its People https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-on-russia-and-its-people The Situation There is a general cultural dissatisfaction but people are facing the matter by tending to the matters they care about and this support, of desired environmental factors sustains them. There is a really strong drive pushing people to tend to their environment. The People What they think is that if they just work through it all a collapse will not happen. There is a lot of work but people are just making themselves work through them all and find a way to be somewhat content with their work, the key is content with their work, not their situation. They are working to prevent a collapse. What they feel is that they must share their grievances and work through them together. What they don’t see is that The King has fallen over from rushing forward to fast and the hidden deeds are being exposed. What can help them is not focusing mundane/physical resources and instead sharing what have. In the face of a lack of resources, people can share amongst each other and help each other that way. What Grounds them is Cultural Unity, a sense that they can and are working together. There is a Spiritual Rainbow (not alphabet group rainbow) that shows that all different shades of light combine to create the Glow or Cultural Light that embodies all. What Crowns them is looking within for inspiration when they can not find it in the external realm. General Message Unity and Sharing will help the American People get through the situation. I hope this reading gave you some useful information.

https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-on-taiwan This is part of a series of Tarot Readings I did on major countries that I see in the news in my little corner of the globe. Other Readings from Series: Tarot Reading about the American People https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-the-american-people Tarot Reading about China and Its People https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-on-china-and-its-people Tarot Reading on Russia and its People https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-on-russia-and-its-people I decided to do a Tarot Reading on the situation of the civilians in Taiwan as opposed to the government, which I did a reading on last time. The Situation Right now people are communicating with each other about their break from traditional structure, but they still feel mentally stuck on something. The People The civilians are going after their own cultural ideals despite daily life being messed with. Plans are routines are not going as planned but they still pursue their cultural ideals. They feel really upset about things and like they have to be more public now and “come out of hiding” in a sense, but they also feel disconnected from a sense of knowledge and wisdom of the situation. What they don’t see is that despite of the disharmonious situation they are in, there is, or they have a very strong driving force that is actively driving them forward. They do not see their own power. What can help them is overcoming the pain and revealing what has been hidden. Bringing to light any hidden plans or subterfuge and working through collective pain and anguish. In my video I mentioned not being “butt hurt” over the situation and being open about what they hid. What Grounds the situation is a stagnancy and sterility, as if they are not growing. What Crowns is an imbalance or lack of finances and resources. The way the Grounding and Crowing card connects is that this lack of physical resources is due to the sterility of the environment. To overcome that we, or they (or people) can look within and grow within themselves, as they grow within themselves, they grow their own resources. Since there is a lack in the external world, people can turn within to sustain themselves. I hope this reading gave you some useful information. Liking and Subscribing also helps me!

Drawn and Inked by Hand, then I took a photo with my iPhone and colored it in Photoshop. No voice-over because I want to try something different ... which is tacky bright red captions! LOL After uploading I realized that I accidentally muted the background music ..... well not you can use your own background music. 00:00 References 00:08 Time to Draw 00:49 Inking 01:29 Photoshop Time! We start with a gradient BG set to multiply. It doesn't have to be on Multiply since I will be cutting out from it. I also duplicate it just in case I want to change things or make a big mistake while cutting. 01:45 Painting the crystal 02:03 Watch me make a giant Additive Lasso Shape! 04:22 Painting the Skeleton after I finish the Additive Lasso and delete the gradient space.The basic soft round brush works well. I will toggle the opacity to suit my taste, I like 50%. I also have a brush I like from an illustration class I took. But you can really just use the soft round brush here. 06:21 You can see how the values from the khaki layer transfer to the red layer. I did try out some manual adjustments of the red layer but I didn't like the way they looked so I just let it alone.Quick Export as PNG is my friend :) Thanks for watching!

https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-taiwan-and-china I decided to do a reading about the relationship between the governing bodies of Taiwan and China. While doing the reading I realized that I overcomplicated the spread so in my video you will see me pausing a couple times to look at notes of what card placements were meant to signify. I think the written version flows better than the livestream. The Government of China: It thinks that it is progressing with it’s cultural & emotional ideal, and feels protected by a group of compatriots. It worries about things not going as planned and any obstructions that may appear to mess with what they are doing. It hopes to be able to reach out to and support Taiwan’s cultural with care and sensitivity. What joins China to Taiwan is the domestic development of China’s physical resources, growing and maintaining a bountiful garden with which it will welcome Taiwan. And also moving carefully, not rushing ahead with external plans and focusing on domestic development. What separates China from Taiwan is changes within the structure of the Chinese government and its cultural framework. I mentioned in my video that as each governmental body changes to adapt to its environment, it must reassess and alter the way it approaches “things” in general, both domestically and internationally. Overt factors are the workload that makes new projects more difficult to start and or be worked on. Covert factors are a physical movement of the Chinese government’s enforcement and domain. The Sum of all things is the fact that all this is mentally overwhelming so the Chinese government may be going overboard and working things to overkill. It may not make sense, but it is because there the government is mentally overwhelmed with trying to manage everything. The Government of Taiwan: It thinks that it no longer needs to focus on worries, it feels like what it has built up with its partnerships is properly supporting it, it worries about making bad judgements and their aftermath, it hopes that it can break away and form its own family. What joins Taiwan to China is unfortunate events and emotional overload. In the news there has been civil unrest. If the government is unable to contain the emotions of the people, it will not be able to progress independently and may have to reach out to China. What separates Taiwan from China is building & maintaining overt strength while not communicating. Overt factors or a collection of memories of the government. In my video I mentioned that there are 3 histories to each country: 1) History of the Ruling Body 2) History of the Religious body 3) History of the Common Folk. This is the History of the Ruling Body. It pulls from this history to stick to facts and act with strong emotional boundaries. The history of the Government reinforces its boundaries. Covert factors are insufficient defenses and an inability to retain emotional perspective and proper distance from China itself. What I see is that the Government of Taiwan has boundaries founded on its history but that is not enough to restrain it from feeling connected to China in a way. The Sum of all things is heartache and pain. This is not easy … it is in face difficult for the Government of Taiwan and it is dealing with emotional turmoil. In a societal sense I am going to guess that this relates to cultural dissonance between the Common Folk and the Government. What grounds the situation is receiving of gifts and positivity from the Universe due to what is given. The Empress is in this position and I interpret it as “Receiving from Giving”. The Empress gives resources and because of that she is loved and supported. What Crowns the situation is the fact that we are all fools being led by what we think we see. Do we have the courage to continue onwards? Or will will we run away, turn back or fall. Either way, we don’t know what we don’t know. And as events progress … we shall see where the path that we walk leads. Or in this case, we will see where these two fools end up as they progress. In my video I mention that it seems like the Taiwanese government does want to break away from China … I also mention that the citizens of Taiwan can vote out the government and replace it with a different one that has a different tone. But those are all just conjectures and possibilities. They may or may not be. I hope this has been helpful and given you some insight.

Post on Substack: https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/the-three-relations-usa-russia-china I decided to publish a Tarot Reading about current events since a lot has been going on and the news makes it sounds like the Western world is having a melt-down. A little about my background: I worked at Psychic Healing Fairs for several years and read privately for myself and others, but I took a break from publishing on social media for personal and health reasons. Lately, I’ve been inspired by others to begin publishing public readings once again. I know that politics is a very heated subject matter and I avoided it in the past but it has become personal now and I just want to see if I can help others wade through the muddy waters of time. I read on the USA, the Relationship between the USA and Russia, the Relationship between the USA and China. The Three Relations The USA right now is dealing with internal conflict instead of external “hot wars” it is busy fighting within itself. The boundaries that have been set are upsetting people but the administration or State/Feds are trying to keep it cool and not get all emotional about it as they manage the balance of money. The State is upset about the internal conflict as well as many others but finances ar in always in the back of their mind. I said in my video that it was an administrative cool-off and focus on balancing resources and trying to hoard everything the world has. Now, looking at the photo, I see that the Queen of Plumes is facing a collapsed conflict while leaning against a pair of bones and sitting atop her collection. So it is not just the administration but civilians are also upset but trying to maintain mental boundaries that will keep them sane as they distance themselves from being embroiled in the internal conflict and focus on balancing resources. The Gist of things is that the USA administration is focused on collecting all resources. I asked why and pulled three cards that tell me that it is doing that to expand its power and stay strong in the face of adverse international environments. It wants to stay strong as it faces outward. The Relationship between Russia and the USA. It has been an unfortunate turn of events and the Kings are trying to manage and control everything. However, they are focused on the misfortune and influenced by illusions of what they think they see instead of what is actually there. Intuition can help see through chaos but it seems like confusion has set in. What grounds them is not ending what is between them …. In my video I said a bunch of other stuff like the cold war and political conflict but what I see now is that the King is looking right at the Queen. The King of Russia is a hard edge emotionless fact-based administrator but sees the misfortune and the lies. The Queen (the USA) is focused on the internal conflict within her own nation and sees illusions of Russia. What grounds them is a fundamental change in their relationship without divorcing. The Relationship between China and the USA. Right now there is a disturbance between them and the relationship is unbalanced … or rather, fickle and fluctuating. They are working on something new but not really communicating with each other. They are sticking to themselves and trying to listen to their own inner guidance while working on new projects. What grounds them is reaching out, communicating and sharing. What grounds us all is traveling, moving around and seeing how things are elsewhere. If we feel stuck in a negative situation, then we should be ready to get up and go find something better. In my video I talked about how travel can help us see the international and cultural connections that exist in the web of humanity and from that we can build upon our lives. Also traveling and seeing places in person will allow us to find the secret doorways that mice know of and use to go about their lives away from the eyes of the lion. I mentioned cracks for ants to crawl through in my video. What crowns us is facing delays and preparing ourselves. What was supposed to happen in the external world may be delayed but this gives us time to refocus internally and speed up our inner growth so that we may better face what is yet to come. Let me know how this reading affected you, if it gave you any insight or good ideas. I have an ebay store in my profile where I provide Tarot readings and Messages from the Spirits.

https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/tarot-reading-on-ukraine (I also write this in my substack blog) It has been a while since I’ve published Tarot readings on social media. I’ve been inspired to start doing so. Today I decided to do a reading on the situation in Ukraine. It was kind of difficult for me today … the energy was strong and choking up the words in my mouth but I still finished the whole thing. Let me know if you got some useful info from thi or if you have any requests on readings for PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL matters. If you are interested in private readings on personal matters, please go to me ebay store which is in my taplink hub https://taplink.cc/artemsomnia The Energetic Change of Structures The Key card to this reading is the King of Cups : being able to see things through while staying level-headed despite of the emotional tidal wave that rushes through. What is happening is a complete collapse of what was built up with money, the skills, the “teamwork” everything was just bought and now is falling apart. The Emperor is unable to rule and so trying to overcompensate by being overbearing and autocratic, but it is not working. Rule of law is gone. What is expected to happen is a collapse of what was built that leaves an undying conflict that is being picked about by everyone that wants a piece of the pie. The unexpected factor at play is the emotional pain and trauma underlying all of what has happened. The forces at play and encircling the situation are a refusal to be defeated or leave the situation. So a powerful force keeps driving onwards and working through it all. Whatever is driving this situation will not give up nor will it move somewhere else so it keeps going. Within there is hope from seeing the truth of the matter and the perspective it brings. On the outside there seems to be a disconnect from inner wisdom due to the aggressive actions that are being undertaken. What can help resolve this is COMMUNICATION. What grounds this is the saddened Queen who sees what has happened and nows knows better … the saying “hindsight is 20/20”. So now we know … the truth is painful and traumatizing. But there is still hope (for a resolution) and there is a strong force that can be worked into this. So if people use what they’ve learned to work through the truth, then they will be able to actively direct and participate in the situation instead of having things happen to them. Active Vs Passive. Work despite of the pain and emotional tidal wave. Then COMMUNICATE to resolve the situation. What crowns or leads the situation is a courageous effort to keep going and facing all obstacles. I pulled some more cards to ask if this was for the USA, International Crowd, Ukraine, or Russia and a general message. The USA is emotionally confused, it can’t withdraw its attention from the situation. The International Crowd is just following their naivete. “You don’t know what you don’t know” and it is being led on by all trails of cheesy info that are dispersed. Ukraine has broken memories but a future that is still there if it can look to the future. Russia is being careful so it does not jump into situations recklessly. The general message is that the work is overwhelming everyone involved and is just too much right now. So even if people keep trying to push through with this matter, it will overwhelm and them and they will just have to deal with it. Again, being able to mentally focus despite of emotional pain or trauma is the key. ************************************************************************************ End Message for Everyone: The International Community will have to deal with a totally collapsed financial debacle where law and order do not apply. It doesn’t know what to do but about the situation. However, it has hindsight that can help guide it through and there is s driving force to do so. Working with the truth and actively participating in communication will help us through the situation. The best way around this problem with right through thick of it. The workload IS overwhelming so expect some wobbly steps forward. ************************************************************************************

This is just the inking process.

Finally made a video of my photoshop coloring process. I made this because so far I have a bunch of inking videos but no coloring videos. I basically crop a photo of my lineart, then fill the whole thing with the background color of choice, Reduce the opacity of the fill layer to 50% and use a lasso tool to erase the parts I want to color in. I might have multiple fills ... This image was not colored very efficiently and I kept changing my mind on what colors I wanted ...

Here are some books I use for Ideas and Art References. I like using books because being familiar with them and knowing what to expect, allows me to construct ideas more efficiently. I still use the internet to search for sources, but if I don't know what to expect then it can take a much longer time than expected. I use the computer so much that my eyes hurt after a while so less time away from the computer equals more time with usable eyes. I love the Natural History and Anatomy books, they are a main source of ideas and references right now. I often modify the images for my illustrations, like combining creatures, adding different anatomical parts, and changing the color pattern. In regards to humans and muscles, I actually still use the internet because there are lots of fitness models (and models in general) who are in cool poses with muscles showing everywhere. For Gem stones and natural crystals, I will actually get inspired by Instagram because I follow a lot of crystal sellers and they take the BEST photos and videos of their products. When I like to do is use the image I find on Instagram as a base, then look up the gemstone in the GEM book to learn more about it, then I will modify the image to suit my illustration.

https://odysee.com/@artemsomnia:1/Ukraine08162022:3 It has been a while since I’ve published Tarot readings on social media. I’ve been inspired to start doing so. Today I decided to do a reading on the situation in Ukraine. It was kind of difficult for me today … the energy was strong and choking up the words in my mouth but I still finished the whole thing. Let me know if you got some useful info from this or if you have any requests on readings for PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL matters. If you are interested in private readings on personal matters, please go to me ebay store which is in my taplink hub https://taplink.cc/artemsomnia The Energetic Change of Structures The Key card to this reading is the King of Cups : being able to see things through while staying level-headed despite of the emotional tidal wave that rushes through. What is happening is a complete collapse of what was built up with money, the skills, the “teamwork” everything was just bought and now is falling apart. The Emperor is unable to rule and so trying to overcompensate by being overbearing and autocratic, but it is not working. Rule of law is gone. What is expected to happen is a collapse of what was built that leaves an undying conflict that is being picked about by everyone that wants a piece of the pie. The unexpected factor at play is the emotional pain and trauma underlying all of what has happened. The forces at play and encircling the situation are a refusal to be defeated or leave the situation. So a powerful force keeps driving onwards and working through it all. Whatever is driving this situation will not give up nor will it move somewhere else so it keeps going. Within there is hope from seeing the truth of the matter and the perspective it brings. On the outside there seems to be a disconnect from inner wisdom due to the aggressive actions that are being undertaken. What can help resolve this is COMMUNICATION. What grounds this is the saddened Queen who sees what has happened and nows knows better … the saying “hindsight is 20/20”. So now we know … the truth is painful and traumatizing. But there is still hope (for a resolution) and there is a strong force that can be worked into this. So if people use what they’ve learned to work through the truth, then they will be able to actively direct and participate in the situation instead of having things happen to them. Active Vs Passive. Work despite of the pain and emotional tidal wave. Then COMMUNICATE to resolve the situation. What crowns or leads the situation is a courageous effort to keep going and facing all obstacles. I pulled some more cards to ask if this was for the USA, International Crowd, Ukraine, or Russia and a general message. The USA is emotionally confused, it can’t withdraw its attention from the situation. The International Crowd is just following their naivete. “You don’t know what you don’t know” and it is being led on by all trails of cheesy info that are dispersed. Ukraine has broken memories but a future that is still there if it can look to the future. Russia is being careful so it does not jump into situations recklessly. The general message is that the work is overwhelming everyone involved and is just too much right now. So even if people keep trying to push through with this matter, it will overwhelm and them and they will just have to deal with it. Again, being able to mentally focus despite of emotional pain or trauma is the key. ***************************************************************************************** End Message for Everyone: The International Community will have to deal with a totally collapsed financial debacle where law and order do not apply. It doesn’t know what to do but about the situation. However, it has hindsight that can help guide it through and there is s driving force to do so. Working with the truth and actively participating in communication will help us through the situation. The best way around this problem with right through the thick of it. The workload IS overwhelming so expect some wobbly steps forward. *****************************************************************************************

I have been working on this for a while … at first during quarantine it was a masked infant in a cosmic egg to represent transformation. Then it gathered the energy of a “war baby” from the collective dead. But I stopped myself from working on it when I was overwhelmed with emotions of the passing. After resting and clearing, this represents cleansing, refocusing, and rebirth to me. When I finished it, I thought of the chant “Om Nama Shivaya” #penandink #inking #lineart #skeleton #comicart #comicartist #sketch #illustration #bones #traditionalart #art #artist #drawingprocess #artprocess #spiritual #rebirth #infant #spiritualawakening #meditation #macabreart #tranformation #analogueart #drawing #mudras #mudra #padmasana #lotuspose #yogapose #lotus #hamsa #apanamudra #pranamudra #abhayamudra #omnamahshivaya
