finding guided imagery for cancer care and art and healing

Hut_with_tree_in_center

Kelley Barrett, healing hut with tree in the center,
made to heal children at Children's center
"All who visited the hut were invited,
through a relaxation meditation and guided imagery,
to experience the sacred landscape they hold within,
a place filled with light, quiet, love, and deep interconnection."
Project in Art and Healing Class, SFSU 2008

when you have an experience
turn it into guided imagery
for example
a man I am working with told me that when he went to a favorite tree, he felt
"healing coming in through my arms where they lay against the branch I was
> lying on--it was very warm. I feel very strong. "
so.. you can do several things with this or any other experience you have.
turn it into guided imagery, it came from you, to you
as a gift from HER. so..
you can..
1. picture it in your minds eye, feel it deeply in body, slow down
time and go deeply more deeply into each moment
2. go to tree each day and do it , deepen it, any experience is made
more real by going to sacred place and turning it into ceremony
3. make art about the experience, draw, dance, the tree etc.
4. make a ceremony , full cereomony at the tree or place

art and imagery are one
a physical experience and imagery are one
