Solar Plexus

"Imagine a warm, yellow sun above your abdomen - radiating warmth all around you."

Shed her old, ancient thoughts of self-doubt and judgement.
Proving is a lack of believing.
Start DOING and BEING - simply because you ARE.

forgiveness

beauty in the grief.
beauty in the loss.

I am worthy of peace and calm.

I am worthy of feeling fulfilled in slow, meaningful actions.

I can let go of the trauma hustle, the intensity and chaos.

I deserve stability and deep joy.

mostly still in pain
still trying to be gentle with myself, allowing myself to BE.
not forcing or pressuring one way or another.

CPTSD means the pains hurt a lot on some days - in ever fiber. And it's a lot of resting, compassion, and LETTING myself.

Reintegration

For some reason, we're taught to segment our Selves into boxes: work, home, friend, daughter, online, in-person, etc.

Bravery in weaving it all back together.

We were never meant to be split up to begin with...

Foggyhead

Another experiment with layered paper-cut paintings, scanned, and composited in AfterEffects - using position to change over time. I also learned how to play with framerate with this one.

Grounders, Spinners, Dreamers

Some folks are grounded - connected to the Earth. Others are spinning around in their own heads. And us dreamers are floating around into space LOL

Behind the Fog

On Day 86 of daily meditation + painting, I started blending layers a bit more.

I painted the cloudy Depression layer, cut holes with exact-o knife…

Daily Art Practice: Meditation + Painting (Part 5)

Can you tell I need to have a variety of styles and approaches to express regularly? 😅

As I’ve been going through this daily practice, I notice how much I need the freedom to express myself in a diverse variety of ways…
