Creative Expression
Embodiment Practices through Art
Theme: Express Yourself
​
1. Use line art. Line is one of the simplest and most basic aspects of art, but it can also contain a lot of emotion. Use simple line art to demonstrate visually how you're feeling.
2. Design a postcard you will never send. Are you still angry or upset with someone in your life? Create a postcard that expresses this, though you don't have to ever send it.

Somatic Practices
Embodiment Practices through movement
Feeling Safe in your body
Breathing long and deep is a somatic practice and it is encouraged you do this at least 1-2 times per day. Sit in a quiet place, and gently close your eyes. Allow your body to speak to you. What and where is calling your attention.
Read these questions and allow your breath to guide you. Notice the rhythm of your breath, the depth - the inhale and exhale.
When was the last time, if ever, when you felt safe in
your body?
When was the last time you felt safe to be
who you are?
What were the circumstances? Who and
what was present?
Do you honor, acknowledge and listen
to all parts of yourself or are there times when you judge, shame, or hide those parts you may not like or appreciate as much?
Listen with your inner senses
Acknowledge any sensations that are uncomfortable and allow yourself to simply sit with them.
Ask:
What do you need me to know right now?
Wait and Listen.
Take any inspired action that may come, regardless of how silly, redundant or weird it may seem. This is your divine spirit speaking to you.
