Soul Paint

Last night, at an event entitled "Spa for the Soul", I ran a booth that I called, "Soul Paint". I witnessed resistance and the beauty of letting go over and over as I lead a mini-workshop on painting from the soul. My workshops usually last two hours, so I wasn't sure how five minutes could give women a taste of the wonder of soul painting. 

After a lot of thinking and head scratching, my coach and I came up with a way for women to quickly connect to their source. My booth had two painting stations. Each women visiting my booth could choose between an array of ten tempera paint colors with which to paint a 9" X 11" piece of watercolor paper. 

Here's how they quickly connected to their source: The women chose from a bowl of powerful questions printed on small pieces of folded up paper, like a fortune from a fortune cookie. They would read the question to themselves and then paint their answer.

Here are some of the takeaways on my evaluation forms:

 "I learned that I want to listen more, to myself, my children, my spouse, and the children in my classroom."

"It was great to take a moment to celebrate me... and let me think about what makes me me!" 

"I learned the value of releasing inhibitions and letting go of self-consciousness."

"Cheerful possibilities will open up for me!"

"Non-judgment reminder!"

"It's okay to want to find your true core!"

"Life has no limits!"

I am deeply moved by the power of believing in your own inner wisdom and letting go of judgment. 

Do you have five minutes to spare today? I invite you to spend five minutes with yourself to answer the following question by journaling, painting, dancing, or engaging in whatever form of self-expression that you choose. Here's your question of the day: If I had unlimited resources and time, what would I be doing with my life right now?

I would love to hear what comes up for you!
