 EMBODIMENTS are an aspect
of the Painting From The Source® workshop where
participants who chose to, take the opportunity to "shape shift"
into their painting, and silently witnessed by the group, become
their painting, embody their painting, make the movements and
sounds their painting wants to express.
People are surprised
at how easy and powerful this process can be. This can be done
when the painting is complete as a closing ritual or any time
during the process. Often if you feel blocked or stuck, embodying
your painting, or as we say "doing an embodiment", will bring
you closer to the painting and be a catalyst for the process.
Having your painting and yourself simply seen by others with
no judgment is a truly heart opening experience for both embodier
and witnesses. Sometimes people spontaneously become an image
in their painting and begin to speak to the group and them self
as the figure, creature, plant or river.
 Some of you may remember I used to call this process " Non Verbals."
In my book it is discussed as, "Tips for Witnessing Your Paintings"
on page 201. By using other creative modalities as sound, movement,
poetic metaphor, you are in a similar altered state of consciousness
as when you paint, further deepening your connection with the source. |
