Connect: Art For Remembering Who You Are

Connect Collection of energy art by Mary Ann Benoit.

The Four Energies of Transformation

We all move through seasons of growth. Sometimes gently. Sometimes through challenge. Over time, I’ve come to see that most of us cycle through four core energiesReleaseAttract, Connect, and Evolve. Sometimes they unfold in order. Sometimes they overlap. Sometimes we revisit one again and again.

Release creates space. Attract invites in what’s ready. Connect restores meaning and belonging. Evolve is the natural unfolding of who we are becoming. Each energy supports a different phase of transformation — both internally and in the spaces we live in. In this article, we’re exploring Connect—what it really means, how to recognize it, and how energy art can support you through it.

When you enter the Connect phase, something settles. You feel less alone inside your own life. A deeper sense of belonging begins to take root — within yourself, with the people who matter, with the natural world, and with something greater than you. What you’ve released and attracted starts to integrate into something meaningful and shared. Instead of striving or pushing forward, this stage invites steadiness. It helps you feel supported, grounded, and aligned with what truly matters.

What It Really Means to Connect

Connection means recognizing that you are part of something larger than yourself.

It’s about feeling:

  • at home in your own heart

  • supported in your relationships

  • grounded through nature

  • aligned with the greater rhythms of life

To connect is to remember:

  • who you truly are

  • who and what matters most to you

  • that you belong — and always have

When your space reflects that energy — through color, art, and intention — it becomes easier to live from that place every day.

How You Know You’re in the Connect Phase

You may be in a Connect phase if:

• You’ve been through change and now crave steadiness rather than expansion
• You want deeper conversations instead of surface ones
• You feel called to reconnect — with yourself, with someone you care about, or with nature
• You’re longing for meaning more than momentum
• You feel the need to protect your energy and nurture what truly matters
• You sense that belonging — not achievement — is what your heart is seeking

Connect doesn’t always arrive loudly.Often, it feels like a quiet remembering. A soft return to what has always been true.

This collection is about connection—to yourself, others, the natural world, and the universe. Each glowing, ethereal piece begins with a digital art base and is overlaid with sacred geometry and symbols: a fractal heart and the Flower of Life. These elements amplify the energy of each piece, creating a visual reminder of the beautiful, unseen web of life that links us all.

What Connect Energy Supports

The energy of Connect supports you in spaces where you want to:

  • deepen your relationship with yourself

  • strengthen bonds with others

  • feel grounded, present, and supported

  • reconnect with nature and natural rhythms

  • experience spiritual alignment and belonging

This energy doesn’t demand effort.
It invites presence.

How Energy Art Supports Connection

Art is energy made visible. It’s not just something you look at — it’s something you live with.

Each piece in the Connect Collection is intentionally created with purposeful color, symbolic overlays, and a focus on relational energy. When you bring one into your space, it becomes a quiet reminder to pause, listen, and remember what truly matters.

Over time, the art works in partnership with your own intention — gently reinforcing connection with yourself, with others, and with the world around you.
