2 Minute Painting TM

Transformational Art Therapy center has created a technique called 2 minutes painting which incorporates a short period of painting with a longer period of sharing following the painting. It is amazing how little some of us give ourselves time and permission in life to just be and feel.

 

During the period of painting the artist within us becomes very excited and empowered. Something magical, nurturing and loving seems to awaken within our consciousness. In those two minutes, we learn how to express our feelings, how to listen to the voices within us, we learn how to allow our inner child to talk to us. The possibilities are unlimited. Depending on our willingness and intention we open ourselves, listen to ourselves, become present with ourselves. We connect and learn to work closely with our Higher Self.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now. 

Goethe

Transformational Writing

 Commitment.
The word itself holds all sorts of connotations, seeing as how, mostly, the word is used nowadays to indicate a wish to become “more serious” in a relationship, or to mean the requirement that you pay someone for a prolonged service you may not even want after a while. But the word itself isn’t bad – it’s really just a promise you make to yourself about something. It means you’re willing to complete and see through whatever it is you’re committed to. It’s a very good skill to have, to be able to dedicate yourself to something wholeheartedly. It means you are able to respect your own needs and your ability to do things for yourself. It also allows you to take a step back and review all the things you’ve committed yourself to, and question whether it is appropriate- or even realistic. If not, you can go about fixing the problem, thus empowering yourself further. The process of committing yourself is almost always very difficult, either to make or to follow up on, but in making a commitment to one’s inner self, the reward of your hard work- becoming a better, stronger person- is always worth it.
