We all need a little help sometimes.

Scroll down to find a guided meditation and a file for the Mandala exercise we talked about in our session as well as a blank body map. These tools will hopefully help you with accessing, feeling, and expressing emotion and grief in the body.

​I hope you find these things helpful. You can always feel free to come back to any page on my site to ask a question, share your art, or send me a message through any of the contact forms anywhere here.

Mandala and Body Map Exercises

The mandala exercise utilizes relaxation and guided meditation to help you access symbols, colors, images that are part of your being and experience.

Feel free to use whatever comes up in your own meditation, or to use something else that inspires you as you begin to create.

Art making of any kind in grief is not about the product, but the entire process. This is not “art therapy” or about interpretation of what you make.
​
The process allows experience of feeling states, thoughts, sensations, and can provide means for reflection, connection, documentation, and self-knowledge as well as allow for curiosity and further exploration.

Click on the file below for a PDF of the mandala exercise, a blank circle, a mandala to color and a blank body outline to help map grief, emotions, sensations and other experiences in the body. You can also just trace a circle from a bowl, a plate, a cup or any other thing that is a circle shape onto the paper or other surface you plan to work with. It can be interesting to work with different sizes of circles as well. 
Remember  you can send me questions or comments on any of the comment forms on any page on my site. Every email comes directly to my personal inbox. 
​Sending love your way.
