Manifesto For Pain Management and Self Healing
by Charissa May Borroff...It maybe useful to print this out for reference. There’s a lot of helpful stuff here.
It maybe useful to print this out for reference. There’s a lot of stuff here. These implements of healing; #1 ANIMAL RESCUE, #2 CESSATION, #3 IDENTIFY HARMFUL NEGATIVITY, #4 RELAXATION, #5 RESPECT FOR ONESELF, #6 RESPECT FOR ALL LIVING THINGS, #7 PUSHING ONESELF, #8 TRUSTING ONESELF, #9 CONNECT WITH NATURE, #10 CONNECT WITH POSITIVITY, #11 POSITIVE SYMBOLIC MEANING, #12 POSITIVE SYMBOLIC ACTIONS, #13 CONSERVE ENERGY, #14 RECORDING YOUR PROGRESS, When these are activated by meditation, creative work (all of the visual arts, drama, dance, writings, good food, and music) and also by incorperating these tools into everyday life. There is no going back once this journey is started. I need to shine the torch back through the tunnel of pain that I’ve been through.There is a way out. Based on my experience of emotions and health being linked. I have written this manifesto for many reasons. My Manifesto has elements of alternative practices for healing which I see as most benefical and relevent to my healing experience. A simple bit of information can solve a big problem sometimes. Just one little moment of connecting and thinking. As simple as that. It may be placebo but hey it works! I’m dedicated to promoting healing. I’ve taken on recomendations for books from friends and also attended public talks and have taken notes from The Dalai Lama’s visit to Nottingham Arena. I’ve met life coach Fay Hartwell, sound therapist Nicola Kelshall, Mark Graham a druid, a Elaine Mein a hereditory witch, Robert Hawk and Anam Gemma both shamans. I can see that the essential part of healing is firstly about the power of thought and allowing the body to deeply relax to experience soothing sensations. Dealing effectively with negativity and embracing positivity as much as possible will strengthen the connection with the self,. Body and mind. When you suffer terribly it can make you desperatly want to leave the painful body behind to go somewhere peaceful. All of the genuine alternative healing practicioners work with the intention to get you to feel happy and safe in your own skin again. The experience of a painful illness is a traumatic and powerful thing. The mind is a powerful thing and needs powerful positive experiences to communicate the intention to heal. Nothing to do with hippy dippy mumbo jumbo but a practical intentional management of the mind and body. Things like sensation, visualization, compassion and intention are essential componants of a positive healing medicine. This manifesto works to supply some key suggestions of going about guiding the power of thought to concentrate on healing. This is the foundation of which I base my therapeutic creative artwork sessions on. But also to record what I have found useful to myself and act as a reminder. I hope you feel like printing this out and keeping as a guide so that you can find empowerment and help in this too. Please contact me if you have any questions.

December 2007, Oil on canvas, 12” x 12” This is the first in a new series of pagan religious icons. After a personal religious ritual, while I was still in a meditative, trancelike state, I called on the celtic goddess Dana and started to paint, letting the awen (the spirit of inspiration) speak through me. I wasn’t so much invoking the goddess through my ritual as centering myself, and opening myself to the power she represents, letting it manifest through the painting. I worked from imagination without any clear plan, developing the composition intuitively. This is part of a longer soul-work, in which painting becomes a meditative, communicative process, a method of experiencing and revealing the divine through inspired and creative acts. I’ve wanted to explore pagan iconography for a while now, and this is my first non-commissioned, personally significant artwork of that type. My art, the art in me that feels like it means something, is a revelation and exploration of a panentheist divine, but who is revealed most powerfully through the inspiration process itself. It’s an exploration of the divine in myself and how it relates to the divine in the world. It’s magic realism, playing with various mythologies and symbol sets. It’s invocation through imagery, the divine made very real, very physically manifest in the object of the artwork. I’m not sure what else it is yet. But this is the first one. I think this would make an appropriate centrepiece for a contemporary altar or household shrine, or it could also be hung decoratively. The painting portrays a pale female figure kneeling by a pool in which a full moon is reflected, dipping her hand into a stream of water falling above her head, drawn up from the water of the pool through the roots of a bare-branched tree, and falling in a graceful arc that mirrors the shape of a crescent moon. The imagery and symbolism of this piece reflect both Wiccan and druidic influences. The figure also references the art of Lady Frieda Harris and her work with Aleister Crowley on the Thoth tarot deck; this icon is in part a meditation on Lady Harris’ illustration for The Star (seventeen of Trumps). © 2008 Helen Lambert – Earth : Sky : Art / The artist retains rights and reproduction privileges of this image.
