art creativity healing Aug 08, 2023

Since I love art so much I thought I’d share a fun exercise that you can do to bring more healing and clarity to any area of your life.

Choose a topic, or body part and paint or draw what it looks and feels like for that body part or situation to be healthy, thriving exactly as you want it to be. 

For this example, I will choose a body part.

Let’s focus on the heart.

That area can be associated with heartbreak, betrayal, loss, self-protection, etc.

But it is also connected to love, joy, generosity, and all sorts of uplifting energies/emotions. 

You can start with a general heart shape and then just add whatever colors feel good for you in the moment.

By the time you feel your artwork is completed the heart shape might be totally covered and that is perfectly fine.

Have fun letting go.

Be as wild, free, and non-judgmental as you can in the moment.

If you’ve been holding a lot inside for a long time it can feel a bit awkward to open up. Give yourself the space to create anyway!

Steps to create:

  1. Canvas or paper to paint or draw on.
  2. Choose whatever colors you like- You may find yourself drawn to surprising colors- go with the flow.
  3. Decide on a body part (or another topic) that you’d like to focus on.
  4. Pick a particular shape or start with a random line. Don’t overthink it, just have fun!

You can always come back later and add things to your creation.

Remember you’re not necessarily trying to make it look a certain way, it's more of a releasing and healing of that particular area. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or just want to send me a picture of what you’ve created.

I’d love to see what beautiful creations are waiting to be expressed through you :-)
