Art As a Healing Force

From the link: "

Art As A Healing Force Web

Art As A Healing Force Web will immerse you in the field of art and healing. By art, we always mean storytelling, poetry, music, dance, visual arts, painting, sculpture, everything that is usually thought of as creativity. We believe that art and healing are joining together to become one. As art and healing merge, the field of art will be changed and the field of medicine will be changed. For many of us, healing art is a spiritual path, a transformational process, a way of being.
This site concentrates on making art to heal, on the power of the creative process of art as a healing force. We believe that making art frees the body's healing mechanisms to heal. We believe it unites body, mind, and spirit. In art and healing, no interpretation or therapy is necessary. The creative process is the healer. Here, art is transformational in itself. The field of art therapy and the field of expressive arts also uses art in healing, but tend to concentrate more on therapy or method and involve training and /or licensing although there is much overlap in ways of working.. They are wonderful fields and are usually different from art and healing as discussed on this site. The artists we talk about are usually not trained art therapists or expressive art therapists, they are just people who use the creative process of art to heal themselves, others, and the earth.

On this site we have information about how art heals, the history of the art and healing, and how each person can heal themselves with art, music, and dance We also will share the experiences of healers working in medical programs using art, and of artists making healing art to heal themselves, others, and the earth. We will give you links to other art and healing sites, earth sites, and ritual healing sites on the web. We also have links to art therapy and expressive art sites for readers who are interested art therapy. We see ourselves as a center of art and healing energy on the web, to help heal you, others, and the earth.

I believe that art and healing will heal yourself, other, community and the earth. It is something you do- an act to heal with spirit."

One Hand Near One Hand Far Healing Technique.

One Hand Near One Hand Far is a very powerful healing technique developed by a chi kung master named Dr Zia Gang Sha. You can find more about him by clicking the tiltle of this entry and it will take you there. I posted this information a couple of years ago but I think it is time to do it again. Start by being aware of the lower dan tien. Move your awareness from lower dan tien to the laboring Palaces. If you have a place in your body that hurts or needs help place one of your hands, we will call this hand the near hand, about 4 to 7 inches away from the painful area. Point your first two fingers of that hand at the painful area. Imagine that energy is flowing from your lower dan tien to the Laboring Palace of the near hand. Then guide the chi from laboring palace out through the two pointing fingers into the area in your body being treated. This is One hand Near. Now take the other hand which we will call the far hand, and place it about 12 to 20 inches from your lower dan tien. Aim ...

Congratulations You Did It!!!

I say this to you my student/teacher/brother. You are of the Hawk and Crow People now. The Hawk and the Crow fly with you, now and forever. I salute you my brother. I salute your courage and determination. Congratulations. I celebrate and sing this song. My student/warrior/friend is out of the hospital and eating. His story can be found in my blog sections "When Pain Comes Try This." and "You Can Cower In The Corner Or You Can Stand And Fight." When he was faced with his own fear and pain and uncertainty he chose to stand and fight. When you must chose, chose to stand and fight. Remember we are never alone. Remember that and smile. He has passed one of his initiations with honor and pride. Many others are doing the same even as you read these words. Let all the warriors of the Heaven and the Earth who stand and fight with honor and determination give you courage and strength when you need it most. Remember, you are not alone and smile. A new adventure now opens to...

Swimming in The Ocean of Chi

This drawing comes from Mantak Chia's webpage: http://www.healing-tao.co.uk/ht_microcosmic_orbit.htm This drawing links to the following: http://www.naturespathcenter.com/pages/Intermclass.html The first thing to do before starting any chi kung practice is to move into a comfortable position. This can be sitting, standing, or reclining. Start to relax all your muscles from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet. Regulate your breathing so your belly goes out on the inhale and in on the exhale. Above all else smile. During a chi kung practice try to keep a smile in your heart and let it often flow to your lips. Place smiles in all three dan tiens. Remember to be very kind and patient with yourself. But also remember to stay focused. Of course you will lose focus during the exercises because your mind and emotions will tend to take you away from your intention to practice. When this happens as soon as you notice that you are thinking instead of doing th...
