Healing with the Arts Week 4: What needs to be healed


This week's topic was finding out what needs to be healed.  I have included the notes from my reading as well as my personal experience with the guided imagery and praxis.  These are very personal but they taught me a lot about inner healing.  

This week was also about figuring out what I wanted my final art/healing project to be.  I talk about that here as well.

As a matter of fact, I had decided that it would have something to do with my animal spirit and my transforming what needs to be healed into something else.  I happened to step outside my art studio door and find a caterpillar and a butterfly.  Maybe it was a sign that I was headed in the right direction.
