The Image is the Language of the Soul

Working with an image is a direct channel to your unconscious and the many apsects of self that dwell within. In a recent Sunday Creativity Circle, we called for images during a guided meditation. The image Lisa Calhoun got was that of light and she thought, at first, that she really hadn't gotten much. But once the message of the image began flowing through her pen, she found out she was sorely mistaken!

Here is what Lisa's light image told her:

I am the light within you

and I am shining brightly.

I am strong and growing stronger

each day

Stay with me

Don't let me fade

This is who you are

who you have always been

I am coming back to you now

strong as ever

Maybe even stronger.

You asked for me and I am here

Nurture me

Stand strong with me

Speak your convictions

and my light will grow stronger within you

You are at the beginning of a new path

one that will lead you to self reliance

to a person who can stand alone

apart from your family

who have been your identity for so long

No longer will you only be known

as someone's wife or mother

You can be you again

Just you

who is many things to many people.

There is a new you emerging

Part of it is the old you,

the younger you

only older and wiser

and stronger

because now you know what you want

and how to go about getting it

You know how to ask for what you need

and how to tell people

when you don't like what they have done

The light is strong inside you

Keep following your heart

and your desires

and it will continue to fill you

with peace and warmth.

If you are looking for inner wisdom, formulate a question and ask for the answer to come to you in the form of an image. Then, regardless of whether the image makes sense, ask the image what information it has for you, put pen to paper and write ... without thinking, judging or evaluating.
