This course will show you how to accept your difficult emotions as they arise in your life and art. This e-course will also support you to better understand your emotional pain. 

 
Creating Quickly Bypasses Ordinary Thought

There are no hard and fast rules. You do not have to tear everything out. If you feel like cutting out an image, do. Just make sure you make your collage quickly. Grab the first 3 images that catch your eye. Add a word or a phrase.

 

Cut out a small detail or two to embellish and then carry your notebook with you throughout the day and ask your collage, "What are you telling me?" You can make up an answer if one does not flash into your mind. Write it down by the end of the day and begin again tomorrow. 

 

"You share your wisdom and inspiration in a way that sparks contemplation, expansion as well as self-appreciation and acceptance...and that not only helps my creativity, it helps ME!  Thank you Shelley!"  -C.F. Oak Park Illinois USA

This course is now part of my year long expressive art and writing course.


Seeing Your Emotions in Your Creativity

 

Shelley! I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this course. I think that it helped me and healed me more than being for years in therapy, reading numerous spiritual and self help books, meditating daily. I began to wait for your every lesson like for a letter from a friend. And the most amazing thing was that it felt like you could read my mind - you knew my pain. ~ Olga Rabinovich

 

"This class rocks! It helped me heal some wounds I've been carrying for years. The lessons were quick and fun, and I looked forward to doing them each day. I still do!"

~ M.Bryant

 

"I just want to thank you for your amazing lessons. You have the gift in being able to communicate the process of emotional healing in a way that is both clear and compassionate."  - Teresa H.

 

"Thank you for your advice and wisdom. I am getting so much from your course, each email has so much content, I feel like I am receiving counselling, I can't really express it, but the content is speaking to me and making me see and understand things that have been hidden for a long time." ~ Judith Green

 

Your mind may tell you that you feel one way but your heart will always tell you a deeper truth. Spontaneous creative expression can help you bypass your self-critical mind to see and heal the self-rejection that happens automatically when you live only from your social self.

 

The hidden language of our deeper emotions can more easily reveal themselves through imagery before they shape into words. Whatever you can see and accept, you can heal.

 

  

Self-Expression in Just 10 Minutes a Day

 

Start a Daily Creative Practice - This course involves meditating on a small, torn paper spontaneous collage each morning for 30 days. All you need is two or three torn or cut-out images, and a word or a phrase.

 

Creatively Relax - There is no need to concern yourself with accurate painting or drawing skills. The method of spontaneous collage is a profound way to emotionally relax and let what is not yet known to reveal itself to your conscious mind.

 

Create from Your Truth - Whatever you need to understand for your emotional healing is revealing itself right now, and you can invite it to communicate through imagery.

 

Understand Your Emotional Life - Consider your mini-collage to be your daily inner guidance system - akin to a personal tarot card - as a way of seeing your emotional landscape in visual form.

 

Emotionally Express Your Whole Self - Spontaneous creation allows the letting go of your everyday mind so that hidden parts of self can arise for inclusion and healing.

 

Journey to New Depths - Learn to love all parts of yourself through the process of spontaneous creation. Discover the denied aspects of yourself that you do not yet know, and learn to understand their messages.
