Gloomy rainy days can sometimes make processing emotions a little harder.

A simple mindful art technique to bring calmness and presence is doodling simple lines and watercolor.

Watercolor has been my go to healing art tool as it’s taught me a lot about “control”…it’s so wild with a mind of it’s own…that the only thing I can control is…well my inner me.

Simple doodles keep me present…teaching me to s.l.o.w. way down…which brings more awareness.

I’ve been combining NeuroArt with my watercolor doodles and my self inquiry process. Seems like blues with hints of pink and purple have been my mood colors and of course a splash of gold…love that gold paint!

Do you creativity to process your emotions? If so, what’s your favorite way of doing so?

         

New Moon in watery Pisces is an invitation to manifest important changes in our lives…by exploring our personal goals and being in a place of surrender, going with the flow while being grounded…

What are you manifesting this New Moon?

Here are the oils that called to me, to support us as we explore our personal goals, start projects or just making space for calm and rejuvenating creative practices.

Cypress ~ Motion and Flow
Cedarwood ~ Community (grounding tree oil)
Magnolia ~ Compassion

What do you need to let go of…
What do you need to hold on to…
in order to to create the life you want?

Remember you can blend and diffuse these or even dilute them and wear them…to support you in harnessing this New Moon’s energy while setting your intention for this cycle.
(Inspired by Emotions and Essential oils book).

Have you chosen a word for 2023?

I've been choosing a word of the year since 2011. I feel they are much more empowering than setting resolutions. Which we end up breaking and then judging ourselves for later. To me it’s much more powerful to have an intent than a resolution. This word then becomes a word you live into for the year, a reminder, a talisman, a guiding star, a practice…you get the picture.

Once I choose my word, I invite sacred play, I think of creative ways to stay connected with my word, and ways to incorporate it into my daily life all year long.

My word for 2023 is Resilience…

Today, I made myself a “My Intent” bracelet and I have been helping others discover their words and making them bracelets too.

If you already know your word and you are interested in one too…or you’d like to explore what your word of the year is…reach out! I’d love to guide you in finding your word and make you a bracelet with your WORD of intent stamped on it to guide you through 2023.

Just PM me and we can discuss the details, and color of metal and string.

If you want a coaching session to guide you in exploring your word for 2023, we can do that too, it’s FREE with the purchase of a bracelet!

Do you already have your Word is for 2023?Share it below!

Own your Wild, Witchy Wisdom! HeatherAsh is doing a Free Webinar on Claim your Warrior Goddess Confidence!

Free Webinar: Claim Your Warrior Goddess Confidence Learn how to own your wild, witchy, wisdom, with HeatherAsh Amara!

When you meet yourself at the canvas or blank page, you are inviting your higher self to guide you. Using lines, colors and shapes allows us to break free from our limiting beliefs that block us from moving forward with our desires.

Whether you are being coached through a Neurographica session, moving through a creative art practice, or even coloring in a mandala, you are consciously choosing to feeding your inner creative fire, your passion to create, and to explore endless possibilities. Rather than choosing to fuel your inner emotional turmoil fire.

When we get triggered, we get “fired up”. We can get caught up in throwing negative “thought logs” onto this emotional fire. Thoughts like “I’m not good ”, “I’m stupid” or worse, blaming others for what we are going through, making us spin out of control. But if we choice not to feed this fire, just observe it without judgment, it burns out on its own.

So, which fire would you rather be feeding…your inner creative spark or your inner emotional turmoil?

Choose your fire wisely…book a session with me and explore how you can engage in practices to create new neural pathways to achieve your dreams and desires.
                                 

We are always navigating the ebb and flow of releasing and receiving. Some of us forget the importance of integration. Which goes right along with that flow for it’s a big part of our growth.

When I remember, key word here “remember”, to engage integration; for me it’s mostly in the form of…
Sitting in sacred space, Diffusing essential oils…and Art Journaling ✍🏻.
How do you create time to integrate?

                                        

Neurographica…a way to transform your life with the tip of a marker. A way to reduce stress and anxiety.

What if you could get answers to questions, solve problems, achieving goals, learn resourcing, even explore time management and more…through art?

Neuro - brain…like what is going on in our minds.
Graphic - Art…like in how we can represent what’s going on in our minds through shapes and lines.

Neurographics is a method of working with the subconscious. It was developed by Psychologist Pável Piskarev in 2014.

During a Neurographic session we depict unconscious agreements, limiting beliefs we’ve formed from our past experiences and/or previous lives of our soul that we have carried over. These limitations rise up into our consciousness where we can transform them. In other words we breakdown old neural pathways and create new ones.

Neurographics sits in the middle of various disciplines...such as Psychology, Physiology, Neuroscience, Gestalt Therapy, and of course Art.

What if you could create space for self growth and healing imagine the endless possibilities before you…

“How To Silence A Woman, Retrieving Her Voice,” ©1980, 2008, 2018, 2022 C.P. Estés, All Rights Reserved. {Excerpted from La Pasionaria/ The Bright Angel, unpublished manuscript. Part of preamble from author cpe at ncr.online.} For permissions: [email protected]…

This blessing, is a chant, a lyric form from my ethnic tradition. It is made to be spoken aloud, so not just having meanings, but its heartbeat, can be heard/discerned; enjoined.

Colloquially, in the family, we’d call it a song rather than a poem, [or a prayer chant or hymn or anthem] in this case, a “song for straight vision and strength.”

The word vato, is slang Spanish, for a person who might or does know the streets, and also an informal way of addressing a man, such as, in the street … e.g., “Ay Vato! Man, don’t you realize...?”

Over time, this prayer-poem “How To Silence A Woman, Retrieving Her Voice” has been put forth at the United Nations, and presented during a tribal women’s coalition in South Africa, as well as carried into session at the parliament in the Netherlands, and given before U.S. Congressional hearings on welfare reform in the 1990s.

Brief Bio

Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés is a Mestiza Latina [Native American/ Mexica Spanish], presently in seventy-seventh year on earth. She grew up in the now vanished oral tradition of her war-torn immigrant, refugee, deportee families who could not read nor write, or did so haltingly, and for whom English was their third language overlying their ancient natal languages.

She is a lifelong activist in service to/of the voiceless; as a post-trauma recovery specialist and psychoanalyst of 52 years clinical practice and missions with persons traumatized by war, including exiliados and torture victims; and as a journalist covering stories of human suffering and hope.

As a post-trauma recovery specialist, she served students, teachers, and families at Columbine High School and community for three years after the massacre. Her "Recovery from Trauma" work began with the Big Thompson Flood in the 1960s, the Armenian Earthquake in 1988, and onward from there to many disaster sites and sites of slaughter ...

carrying her post trauma recovery protocol to teach to and to deputize citizens in self-knowledge about how to help those with trauma, what to do regarding educating those traumatized, and when to reach out for additional helps. This work has been a life long commitment, for after first responders go home, there are often years' long waiting lists for help for the traumatized.

Dr. Estés has walked with combat veterans since 1965.

I've been exploring this world of Neurographica, after stumbling upon NeuroArt (which is a very different process) a few months go. Neurographica is a way to work with the subconscious mind through drawing...a meditative art form invented by Pavel Piskarev. I found that the beauty of it is you can use it both as a tool for healing purposes or a tool for planning purposes. Ultimately it's a Mindful practice, a creative way to transform your world with the tip of your marker....
"The Neurographica method is very practical, it helps to initiate positive changes in your life. Neurographica is about breaking patterns. We are finding new solutions, finding organic ways to release outdated patterns in our lives."...Anna Romanenko
The Neurographica method is trademarked and you must be an instructor to teach it. My journey thus far has been so interesting...helping me identify patterns and hidden limiting beliefs while inviting creative solutions to moving forward.
I decided to work towards my Neurographica Specialist Certification so I can share it with others through my coaching sessions. In the meantime, the journey into deep self-exploration, which you know is something I've delved into for a while now, has been intriguing.

Really I want to know. Share below! What’s your favorite blend?
One of my simplest favorites is Lavender and Rosemary, today I was inspired to add a splash of Tulsi.
Inviting , and with a little infusion of (life force energy) to heal the mind, body and spirit 💕
