Writing poetry, journaling and art making are wonderful and creative...

ways to turn the burning inside our heads into positive thinking, researching and recording. It's almost like celebrating or sharing ourselves without depleting our souls in the process. Cathy Malchiodi, today's leading authority on Art therapy says, "The soul's palette is so many things: an agent... Sign in to see full entry.

Dreams can diagnose the body and take the pulse of the soul...

What does this image mean to you? Read the images around you. The universe knows more about you than you do. Even your dreams may be trying to tell you something is wrong. Go to a doctor. Save your life. They have been known to foretell the onset of illness. What are you dreaming about? Dreams are... Sign in to see full entry.

Images are sensory in their nature and serve as metaphors...

I see the above trees as taking a walk with me. Even their bare branches seem to be excited to have my company. Metaphors are intimately connected to the concept of transformation. We transform the idea of one object into another, maybe, identifying it with ourselves as humans. We as children first... Sign in to see full entry.

Joyful gardening...

Looking at pictures are so healing. I think I see a cat or dog in the rock to the left. We were all born with an imagination.

Words are healers whether we are writing them or reading them...

Of course, a loving friend can be a healer, also. A song can be a healer. A celebratory greeting card can be a healer. An images that empowers you can be a healer, much like a photograph, a sculpture, a painting or a simply-glazed pot. A poem or song can grow out of intellectual irony and/or corny...

Adjust yourself to people as they are, not as you would like them to be...

or believe they should be. While we all are what we are, there is much we can do to bring out the "side" of anyone that is in grief. Scolding him or making him ashamed of the things you dislike about him, will not help. People who suffer from depression repress shame and guilt, and find other... Sign in to see full entry.
