Sharing my process of visual journaling here. This is one of the tools that has been helpful for me in my healing journey from multiple traumas. I have also experienced the impact of generational and past life trauma. Professionally, I am an Energy Healer, Fine Artist, Card Reader and Creator of the Sacred Journey Medicine Cards Deck. This is my website. A Kundalini awakening when I was 16 has had a big impact on my life. In my experience, the Kundalini process brings all trauma to the surface to be healed.

Message for Card:
The Screaming Child
The screams of the Child suddenly pierce your awareness, demanding to understand why you have had to endure such heartbreak. If you have suffered this pain and loss quite recently, you may be asking yourself, where is the Divine Creator in this picture? If it occurred at a tender age, where were the human caretakers who were charged with protecting you? Pegasus comes to you as a messenger to make use of your highflying imagination. This mythical winged divine stallion, with his ability to overcome his own trauma, embodies the light and rises above the suffering to embrace freedom. Fly with him. From above, observe the experiences that have shaped you. From here you can safely formulate a plan of healing. Call upon your Spirit Guides, Angels, and others in the realm of the divine to help you do the work that will comfort and restore the little ones within you who are demanding to be heard.

Images from my Visual Journals provide the background art for the cards. After scanning the artwork, I added the photography with Photoshop.
I use many materials to create my images. Watercolor pencils, watercolors and bleeding tissue paper are among my favorites. I use a printmaking process by working with two pages at a time and closing the journal to create a print. I allow the images (and words at times) to come forth without too much of a preconceived notion of where I am going.
I am happy to be in touch with you and to share experiences and resources. You can contact me via the contact page on my site: Contact
All my best,
