A wild and out of control dream. Full of symbolism, inner and outer reflections, and the reality of my life. It speaks of my loves, my sexuality, my health problems, my art, my children, my beauty, my sense of self, my privacy, my sense of humor, my life, my relationships, and my fears…And what happens when someone else has control of these things.
I hesitantly stretch forth my fingertips / and grasp the dusty silky smoothness / of her

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.
