Images that are glimpsed to make art are homeostatic, self healing and come from ancestors, spirit guides, spirit animals, God, Goddess, angels, Creator mother earth.

So when a person makes healing art, they go across the veil into sacred space, seek protection, and invite healing images to come. Then they make art manifest with these images.

So…there is a shift, a crossing , a new way of looking at yourself, images, and the world necessary for art and healing …..

working across the veil

October 7, 2009 by msamuelsca

art and healing is working across the veil

you take them….

that is who you are as a healing artist….

The steps of Spirit Body Healing found in a research study on how art and heals at University of Florida done by Mary Rockwood Lane for her PhD on art and healing are:

1. pain and darkness

2. going elsewhere

3. being creative in a turning point

4. slipping through the veil

5. knowing the truth and trusting the process

6. embodying spirit

7. feeling healing energy and compassion

8. transcendence

http://www.artashealing.org/ spirit body healing online, you can read it….yes you can….

In this work, you start always with pain and darkness, then you make art and go elsewhere, then….

You go through the veil to the other side, the inner world , the spirit world, the world of ancestors, spirit guides spirit animals angels and you…..

Become pure spirit , feel healing energy and compassion and..

Experience transcendence….

A spiritual experience of knowing and understanding who you are and what you are to do and who is around you and ….

you are healing by spirit and creativity….

So art and healing is

Working taking the person you are with across the veil as a gift from pure spirit

It is

A nun in the monastery in Tinos Greece had a vision of the Virgin Mary, in 1822. The Virgin told her to find an icon, they dug and found it, and a spring emerged from the earth with water that healed. They built a church and now thousands of pilgrims come each year for healing.

The monastery is high on a mountain, cold windy and wild. The nuns are there swirling in the elements dreaming. The small cell in which she slept and visioned is dark cold and uncomfortable, not a place of vacation on this Greek isle.

Visions come to women in hardship, in darkness, in wind and cold, in retreat, in sacrifice.

Her skull is in a glass case in the church, you can see it and see her arise as smoke to heaven with your prayers of healing and wholeness
