Creativity is the becoming fashionable word in yet one I feel is least understood and for some it brings a sense of uneasiness if they have not opened up to this amazing energy that is our inheritance. People know at some level that creativity allows a space within the psyche...a moment where they are released from the constant chatter of the mind. I believe this happens on a scale slide. People join a choir because it takes them into the heart space and...

I'm also happy to say that I am now able to be able to exercise other parts of myself and go out and have some really good fun times. It is interesting to walk back into my home, check my phone, no messages, check my Facebook and everybody appears to be writing up the same mundane posts and I think what's everybody doing?

It’s when we start moving with our own paintbrush upon the rugged terrain of our inner/outer life. We start looking at what is vibrant, and whole perhaps desiring of a voice, rather than being so attuned to the aspects of the mind, that tend to hold us back. We are all familiar with those aspects, and there are many different forms of self development in teaching people awareness around limiting thought patterns. But as a Society we are not taught to go deeper, to move us beyond the thought patterns to experiencing energy of wholeness within us; we stay stuck on a mind structure that keeps us in a comfortable place of acceptance with...

The more abstract the medium is the more release from the mind structure or tightness. Creativity flows in this open space of the mind that is engaged in abstract work. As that space is strengthened and enlarged it allows for the energy of knowing to emerge. This source energy may lead you to a new creative medium so that the creativity is being fed, it is opening up a space within us that the source knowing energy can utilise. The creativity is the vessel for the knowing to emerge. It may or may not be in a verbal message. There is some art (abstract) where the knowing

We need to learn to walk organically free from fear. One often hears the statement of one suffering with Mental Illness that they have lost their awareness of colour. Yes they have lost the awareness, but it is with a variety of tools that we choose, that are unique for everyone, that allows transmutation of the colours. We as a society look for a cure, perhaps it is the supporting hand that enables the journeyer to bring forth their colours. 'There in the Grace of God go I " becomes a beautiful reality....

What we were taught was a very simple process, this process has been taught and used in all sorts of mainstream therapeutic modalities. One practitioner told me she had been taught by a Minister. I was taught by counselling modality. But there are still lots of people who are not aware of this process that opens us up to experiencing, what I call, their own 'Inner Healer'. I am sure that the process would have many different names to different people. The process is this amazing embodiment of healing that happens....

We start to realise that a lot of the thoughts that we entertain often unconsciously from day to day simply don't give us the power we want in our lives. They are often subtle dis-empowering thoughts that creep in that sit behind our choices as to whether we respond or react. The green is about having the space to open up and experiencing growth on an inner level

These Universal truths are for everybody not just the religious, or spiritual. Whether experiencing severe mental illness, or maybe that insidious thought that say's I'm OK, perhaps a little blind to the sometimes unhelpful limiting mental stances that we adopt in life. It is that need for the sense of structure, the rules, the internal and external that can give us a false sense of safety, the limiting beliefs, the strong stance of the mind that feels it needs its protective stance and keep us from experiencing....

There will be others that may experience that inner emptiness if they have had a traumatic childhood or simply difficult childhood and aspects of self have been repressed. It is then in later life that the mind can become engaged in trying to fill that inner sense of emptiness to which, of course, is too no avail. Sometimes support is needed in the journey of re- owning

What most people don't realise is that, with skillful facilitation, the anger that is being expressed in a safe nonverbal medium, being crayons and paper, can transmute to an inner awakening that also sits with the language of red. As that inner awakening starts to happen, still in the colour red, the person can begin to take an inner journey...
