| Hello Inspirit Readers ! Wow! I just have to share, I'm so inspired! I just returned from presenting an awesome workshop to a wonderful group of people, registered clinical counsellors in Creston, British Columbia. The workshop was a great experience and I received a lot of positive feedback and praise for my presentation of the Art Guidance Cards and Inner Guidance Journal. Since I published the Art Guidance Cards in February this year, I have been doing workshops and presentations all over and I am so excited about the breakthroughs, insights and new perspectives people are experiencing! I love presenting the Five Step Art Guidance Process and watch how it creates new shifts in everyone. If you're curious to read more about the Five Step Process, check out www.InspiritArt.com - click on "Technique". I am certain you'll find reading about it an eye opening experience! I love receiving your letters and I'd like to share with you some feedback I received from last month's edition: "What an inspiring newsletter this month! I feel like I want to try finger/hand-painting, sounds like a great experience. It's definitely very uplifting to read your newsletters.You've also inspired me to re-read The Celestine Prophecies.

******************************************************* 1) This month's painting: Healthy Boundaries
Quite possibly the most damaging form of artistic and creative loss is criticism. I painted this piece a while ago and it struck me when I finished: "Wow. Boundaries. That's what this is about". We need them to stay healthy. We need them to create. As a young girl attending elementary school in Germany, I think it was grade four, I had two teachers who left big marks on the blueprint of my soul. They were two very different kind of teachers; one was giving, nurturing and kind while the other was judgmental, critical and just plain scary. The kind teacher was encouraging my attempts with learning, and encouraged me to be bold when painting with brighter colors. The other teacher was hung up on technique and mastering everything, controlling and criticizing. Both teachers left imprints on me which I will never forget. The interesting part is that even today, as an adult I can still hear their voices in my mind. When I paint I am aware when my kind teacher gently nudges me to courageously explore the process of creation. When I go to show the art, I am sometimes aware of the possibility of criticism, due to the judgments I had received from the scary teacher. However long ago this is, the subconscious somehow remembers! I have done a lot of clearing of those experiences, and fortunately, the negative experience has no longer any power over me. As children we need to be protected - and as adults, we need to develop boundaries to protect our own core from damage, harm, or energy drain. Once I started seeing a visual picture through the painting "Healthy Boundaries" I realized how radiant and precious the core of our souls is. Let's keep this core shining brightly, strong and healthy! "Healthy Boundaries" is part of the Personal Power & Communication Series. ******************************************************* 2) Today's Message:Shelter your heart and soul with lively boundaries. Know we all need boundaries to grow and thrive. Allow your self-respect to be a reflection. Be fond of nurturing your true self. ******************************************************* 3) Today's Inner Guidance Question for Journaling:How will having healthy boundaries improve your life today ? ******************************************************* 4) Coaching Questions: Take Action Today Which boundaries will help you shelter your heart and soul ? ******************************************************* 5) Inspirational Quote:"Quiet helps us find what we are passionate about. In that quiet, ask what it is you should be doing. Service is spiritual work or, to some, work of reverence. First you have to uncover what it is that you have a reverence for. What is it that you love. Evolve in that fashion. It may not look like something that seems like large work. It may not look like something grand or very important, but if you can do a good thing, a small good thing on a regular basis, and keep going, it will shine a light. It will draw other light to you." I would like to thank Helene Van Manen, my Coach Uinstructor for sending me this beautiful quote. ******************************************************* "My mission on this earth is to spread and share my inner light and so I wish you much enjoyment, insight and freedom to take a positive direction! " This newsletteris a combination of visual with the intellectual, emotional and spiritual. I aim to "blend wisdom, art, beauty and spirituality into a powerful, concise message" .
