Art Therapy

Exercise:

Remember that you are not alone. Whether you spiritually believe in actual angels or not, try to embrace the idea of a guardian. Close your eyes, breathe steadily and imagine yourself being fanned by healing wings gently waving over you. In your mind, see the aches and pains of your body as glowing hot red spots. They are a signal for help. Then open your mind and see yourself being embraced and healed by a beautiful blue light, cooling all the red spots. Imagine the red spots getting smaller and smaller as the cool blue offers relief.

Breathe. Focusing on your slow breath can bring a weary mind to peace. Do this for as short or long as you need. It can help your emotional health as well as give you some physical comfort. Open your heart and your mind, and accept this as much as you can. You are loved.

Exercise:

Stop. And begin to dream about what it would feel like to breathe light. Feel the warm stunning light, pouring rays of twinkling energy onto your skin. Your feet are grounded into the earth, absorbing the thick healing properties of the ground. You are on the peak of a mountain and the sky is dark and vast above you. The wind is soft, and you are safe. There is a presence, a light that is swift like a gust of life energy that gently rushes toward you and hugs you with love. This power infuses your cells and wraps around your every fiber. This feels so good. This feels amazing. This feels alive.

Exercise:

Imagine yourself alone, in a forest. It is dark, but you are safe. There is a chill in the air that tiptoes on the surface of your skin. You feel alone because your journey has been a hard road, full of unique situations and decisions. Just remember that if you keep moving forward, the past gets further behind you, and your future gets closer ahead. Among this darkness, there is a glitter of light, suspended in the sky. It calls to you and offers hope and healing to your body and mind.

Trust this warm soothing light, as it is only made of everything good. The light begins to grow as it softly graces the ground, toward you. Really imagine the light, feel the light. It touches your feet and offers relief to your feet. Then it moves up your legs, onto your torso. It feels so good, like massaging your cells with healing, loving light. The forest is no longer dark and alone. And neither are you. Light up your spirits. Light up your immune system. Light up your mind, your body and your future. You have the power to light up the world with greatness. Light up. Light up.

Exercise:

Close your eyes and imagine your body, like this tree alone in a field. You are cold and ill, fearful and lonely. Then, imagine all of nature, from the ground below you to the plants, animals and the skies above you, all loving you. Imagine what that would feel like, to have all of nature wanting you to heal in every way. See the moon blowing you magical kisses that gently float down upon you and heal your every cell. Feel the healing life-energy from all of nature making you well. You are no longer ill and lonely, but happy and content, strong and vibrantly alive.

The story behind Moon Kisses:

The moon sees a lonely tree in a quiet field and decides to blow kisses of stars to fill its branches. The grateful tree then glows with warm vitality and new-found strength. The moon is the big authority, the grand royalty of the sky. And it’s so beautiful when this big powerful presence goes out of its way to help just the tiniest of things. Compared to the moon, the tree can easily be seen as insignificant, being so far away on a small planet. It’s all relative though, because to us, trees are hugely grand and wise, living far before and after our lives on earth.

This honors the relationships between people who are healthy and those who are ill. It is easy to forget the people who are stuck in their homes, so far away from the rest of the world. But the slightest bit of caring from one to another can cause a person to glow with hope and vibrant life energy.

The story behind Living Light:

This painting represents the connection between human, earth, and spirit. And ultimately, the miracle of life. One flows into another, creating synergy and the beautiful power of existence.

To pause... and to breathe in golden light is to refresh the soul... Often when I am anxious, depressed or especially ill, I imagine a warm cleansing light filtering through my body, bringing in vital colors of nature. This light is shared between all things alive. We can call for it, like prayers or chanting, and send it to another person who may need a little healing.

This piece represents the powerful process being caught in one still moment. It is a beautiful experience and I always feel empowered afterwards. Please, share your own light and spread your magic with all things living...

Sending Love...

The story behind Angel Emerges:

I felt called to paint. I sat there by myself; just me, some paint, some brushes and a canvas. I began a symphony with my hands, conducting random shapes and colors and allowed this process to take over my hands. Almost like fingers on a oija board, I waited to see what message would unfold. Soon starting to emerge among all these dark splashed colors, was a shape, a figure, an angel...

Like a visual energetic telegram, it was an imprint of a true angel who emerges in times of darkness. This guardian speaks through hope and strength, telling the world that we are not alone. We all have someone, somewhere, loving us and holding us.

Sending Love...

The story behind Light Up, Light Up:

So often we feel lost and alone. The forest has always been seen as a mystical place, where even the most mundane of things can become extraordinary. Fears are faced. Dreams are discovered.

Light up. Light up. Light up a path in the dark and light up a path in your soul. We are all in this forest together, holding hands as we search for peace and comfort. Keep going and we will discover that ...Even when our eyes are closed, we can sense a warm light in front of us. So as we journey ahead, not able to see what is yet to come, let us use our intuition to guide us to the light, and bring others as we go.

Sending Love...
