WRITING:  CREATIVE LIVING BEYOND FEAR

1.     Ask my 'fear' to write a letter and listen. 
2.     Write another letter in respectful response to 'fear'
3.     Write a prayer asking for God to remove my fear and direct my attention to what he would have me be [the grace of acceptance, peace, courage, faith or trust?]

Reflection:  What do I now know about about my fear and what to do about it?

DRAWING:   HEALING BODY MAPPING  ®

1. Close eyes
2. Draw with both hands on a large sheet of paper.  No imagery.  A direct expression of one's felt sense.
3. Draw rhythmically repeated scribbles to express and release inner tension, patterns of bracing and pain held in the body.
4. Assert your boundaries
5. Listen to inner guidance
6. Sooth and nurture your soul
7. Apply massaging movements according to inner needs [eg. finger painting, pastel, etc. ]
8. Release embedded emotions
