Healing Images (Continued)


This is a healing art image that I drew about a year ago. I began by identifying my immediate feeling regarding a particular issue in my life, which -- in imagistic terms -- was a small vulnerable shape sitting unknowingly in the mouth of a dangerous creature. I had a sense that something was wrong, but I could not see what it was.

Then I asked my body to give me a healing image.

The idea seeped into my mind to shine a light into the darkness. I did not know what I would find there, and felt guided to just start drawing and trust that the image would appear. As I drew I did begin to sense someone there, and felt guided to complete the drawing. I realized that the light was shining on a large, clumsy, frightened and lonely being. 

The fear and foreboding dissolved and I began to feel compassion, along with a greater understanding of the situation in question.
