The Essential Self

Growth and Healing Isn’t Linear

As much as we are trying to move from one place to reach another, from an often difficult or stagnant place, to a new way of feeling and being, we don’t get there in a straight line.

We move back and forth, up and down, in and out, …making new connections along the way.

And eventually, whether fast or slow, we ARE new, in a new feeling, doing, being place.

No matter how much it feels like we’re meeting the same story again and again, remember that it’s never from the same point of awareness, you are always making new connections, ..keep moving, and keep extending love to your beautiful process.

Most of us can relate to feeling OVERWHELMED, it’s the body and mind’s way of telling us we have a NEED, generally a nervous system or emotional care need; to create space to listen more deeply to what is TOO MUCH, and what needs your attention.

It may be that life circumstances need to shift, but before you go there, DEEP BREATHS, self presence, so you can begin to understand and acknowledge what you’re feeling and what you need.

So you can ALIGN with what’s really true about your experience and begin to make the shifts you need to change how you FEEL.

A Simple Art Therapy Process

Sometimes creating space with intention to just explore and bring care to an issue or feelings, is as simple as breathing into you, choosing a colour or colours and making marks on the page.

Play, with shapes, lines, texture; notice what comes up in your feeling process and your body, let go of oucomes or how it looks and let you hands and colour express your feeling.

Let things open, be felt, processed.

Sit with your image and let your feelings mirror back to you. Perhaps your expression reminds you of something, Perhaps it has a name? Perhaps it doesn’t, maybe you’ll gain some insight, or release some tension from your body,

OR simply just FEEL better for creating space to be with YOU.

Our Essential SELF

Our real SELF behind the masks we wear, the beliefs we hold, the thoughts we have, the expectations and conditioning we carry, even some of the feelings we experience, …our genuine essence, our authentic being, our wild rooted instinct, our true expression, our deeper knowing, OUR Spark! ✨

Do you know her?
