Creativity

Since I have been stuck at home going stir crazy between dizzy spells, I decided that one of my prayers had actually been answered. One thing I have lacked lately is time. Now I have it in abundance, although I still have to fit any activities in between the dizzy spells.

So what do I do with my time? I use it for creative expression. There hasn't been time in my life for art or music since I started massage school on top of the full-time job at the giant company. While massage itself is a creative expression, and I've enjoyed it immensely, I have missed being able to do things like paint and color.

So now that I am a little less dizzy, I have dug out my pencils, paints, coloring books, and canvases. My art has been a dual purpose expression. I have created a canvas piece that will only mean something to someone who is familiar with both Chakra work, and with the Northern Futhark of Norse Runes. What I created is a focus piece for working on the Root Chakra. I have found it very helpful. I will download a photo of it so if anyone else is in need, perhaps they can make use of it as well.

The coloring books I dug out are not what most people will expect. Not Disney movie themes or Barbie or Transformers - I would color those if I had them, but these are more my style. For Christmas one year, Yaw gave me two coloring books by an artist named Denise Suazo Shoemake. They are mature, artistic themes, intended to be colored with pencils or markers. I use pencils mostly because I love how they blend. Anyone who knows me well, knows I also love to do Doodle Art posters, but at the moment, I don't have sufficient space for that size of a picture. I gave several of them to my nieces and nephew a while back, but I kept a few that I still want to complete.

Once my head clears up and I can get back to work and school (oy), I will work hard to complete everything that is required of me, so that I can eventually reach the point where massage is my career, and then I'll have more time for these things. I look forward to it with great anticipation. :-)
