It's been quite an intense few weeks, I'm sure most would agree that things are a bit chaotic out there right now. A lot is being uncovered in the world. A lot are panicking and a lot are turning inwards for peace and answers.
Recently, my 9 year wedding anniversary brought back memories of some of the insane and challenging moments we've had since being married. It was a hell of a lot to reflect on.
I was feeling very heavy, and something in me just wanted to paint it all out.
I had only just started making Art again over the lockdown, and have hardly ever painted freely. So for (basically) the first time ever, I did.
I'd done an Art Therapy session once before, but this time felt very different, it felt even deeper.
I had fun with it. Didn't overthink or over analyze anything.
It took maybe 1.5 hours, and the whole time, I was blasting my favourite Music therapy band, Tool. It was quite an intense experience, but so so fun. And I was amazed with how much lighter I felt after all of it.
For me, this is big.
For many years, I have felt like I have been neglecting my artist self. So in these last few months of tending to my inner artist again, I feel like I've actually reconnected with my creativity in an even deeper way, than ever before.
Amazingly I actually love what I painted.
I had absolutely no vision of what it would look like, so it was completely organic and free form. Utilizing some basic skills I learnt from joining in on 
Now I finally know what Art Therapy really feels like, and it really did feel great.
So if your heart is calling you to create something or try something like this out, please do it. Who knows how much it could help you.
And here it is..
" 9 years..."
Art heals :)
