Journal notes: Thursday 1 August 2019
I’ve been feeling under the weather with a cold today and my energy is low. I didn’t feel up to connecting with soul again to find out more about this story, so I simply asked for some healing energy to come to me.
Materials
Chalk pastels on mixed media paper
My process
- I put on some ‘healing meditation music’ and set up my art space.
- I closed my eyes and simply asked for some healing energy to come through.
- I then started to draw.
- After I finished the drawing I sat down and did some journal writing reflecting on the art piece.
- The story of the bird and water was written as a summary of my insights into the art.
The art 
The story
What came up for me during the process
The bird holds the creative energy within and it is quite contained. The spiritual energy moves freely around the bird, however the two are yet to meet or touch one another.
The message: let go and allow the energy in so that the transformation can begin. It’s an alchemical process, and my mind is the one holding me back.
