DEEP: Body Love's Theme Shadow Muse

Welcome to this blog which continues with the theme of Shadow Muse featured in Phinspiration Newsletter:November 2014 Shadow Muse

Shadow through the Eyes of a Child.

When I think of a shadow through the eyes of a child, I think of being a bit scared.

When I think of shadow through the eyes of a child, I see playing with the shadow like Peter Pan or trying to step on the shadow.

When I think of shadow through the eyes of a child, I imagine that monsters and nasty things live in them.

When I think of shadow through the eyes of a child I am curious as to where it came from.

When I think of a shadow through the eyes of a child I believe that the shadow must be an entity of its own: a creature, a thing that has its own mind and is playing with me or running away from me. 

When I think of shadow through the eyes of a child I may want to play with it.

What comes to mind when you think of a shadow through the eyes of a child? 

Enjoy

Today's Theme from DEEP is Discover

DEEP – Phinspire's motto - means "Discover Empower Emerge Play". Here is March’s weekly coaching/blog series which continues from the DEEP Truth of the Month for March: Paying attention reveals opportunities.

Week One of Four

We are continuing with the wonderful wisdom and energy from Aha-phrodite Muse from Jill Badonsky’s Nine Modern Day Muses and a Body Guard.  

Here is an ARTsignment™ to try: If you choose, try completing the writing prompts, without too much thinking, judging or analyzing, just doing and see what happens.

I looked out the window and saw what worked, it was …

I immediately noticed …

What worked then …

What I realised was that what worked was …

Now read it out loud, and one more time.  What are you noticing?  What is ‘sticking out’ for you?  Are there any surprises? 

Just notice what you notice.

Congratulations on your discovery. 

Finally, I invite you to leave a comment to answer this question, how will you celebrate your discovery?

Love

Today's theme from DEEP is Play

DEEP Truth: Four of Four 

Now you get to play, take action.  How would it be if you and/or someone or some people who have been supporting you got together and created a collage all around the things that make you feel special, that you love to do, love to experience, that you dream of.  Others could do this for themselves also.

Consider fun aspects that you may choose just because you can.  What puts a smile on your face and radiates from the inside out?  It could be environments, activities, people, holidays, creativity, dreams, nature, sports, interests, hobbies, quotes, colours, anything.  So everything you collage, draw or paint represents things you like and love.

Now a challenge, perhaps.  Could you place a photo of yourself somewhere in the picture or an image and if it feels uncomfortable, try acting as if you did like/love yourself for 30 seconds, enough time to just present it on your creation, perhaps this may assist. J

A word of caution, some people feel they need to produce a piece of 'perfect' art, and therefore may not start.  This is about the process, having fun, making lots of mistakes, feeling free so that you can connect with what you have created.  All art is quite subjective anyway!!!

I often use collages as a wise sage or muse and ask questions.  You would be surprised regarding the answers you would hear, which of course are from your wise self.  Some questions may be:

     What do you need me to know today?

     What would be in my best interest today?

What questions can you come up with that would continue to help you discover what empowers you so that it enables you to emerge to be who you are meant to be and manifests in play, actions that are in standing with the love you are developing you.  Have fun.

Love 

Liz
