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.

This writing is but a pale reflection of the visual work which inspired it, REFLECT by one of Red Bubble’s true gems, Cynthia-spiritinme. Thank you Cynthia for inspiring us once again! I would encourage everyone who hasn’t met Cynthia (spiritinme) or been blessed by her work, to stop by her page and see what the rest of us already know. : )
The sky is darkening, / my neck is stiffening / but I cannot tare my eyes from the vastness the peace … / of the fathomless azure
I have finally discovered Carmen through her fabulous painting Swept-away That was on the Art front page! It reminded me of how I once lived / - finding the only peace & solace & space in looking up! / More than that it indicated to me that I have survived that life & moved on / I no longer live like that and shall never subject myself to that again! / I took heart & courage in the fact that, although I could see nothing else around me that was peaceful, I could see the sky. / It gave me strength, it gave me hope, it gave me faith; that no matter what trials and mistakes I was dealing with at the present, life will go on and I will survive. For any other person out there incarcerated in a private hell of their own, look UP / to the vast beauty of our sky … and breathe … and have faith that life will go on / and this too shall pass! Keep Happy! :O) / Chookas!

There is much I have been given here at Red Bubble. I am passionate about exposing where I get inspiration from when It comes from one of you. / Billyboy as of late left a comment on one of my pieces (a tribute to two inspired artists) called / Pelican for T.C. and David Friederich I was so in awe of his comment and it’s poetic value, I took the flavor of the comment and made it into a Collab. We are both present for this and the end result is that both of us did indeed intend this to be as it is in it’s finished form. I have taken time to learn a bit more on how to be more useful and sincere when writing comments to others. I do not do it always as time for me does not seem to allow for such involved writing, however I see with new eyes as I receive such amazing lessons from one such as he. Thank you Billy, you have been a huge part of my growth here at RB as an artist, via seeing with new eyes and ways to express my joy as Creator and Co-Creator. Flying Meditation /

Remember you’ve already earned your living by being born, now we live our earnings. / Our destiny is being completed within each breath we take. / The keys are within our dreams desires and fears. For to shrink our power is to give it away! / You can only love others as much as you love yourself. / The only true place to start is within and to follow your heart / The time is now to live for you, not die for others (or a cause) but live for them. Not die for a view/house/experience but live for it. / Not fall in love but rise with it! Remember that / What we believe in we are giving strength to / What we think we are giving strength to / what we fight against we are giving strength to, to protest against war/hunger/cancer/anything global, we give strength to it! / The more we live for peace, enlightenment, ascension, hold and train our thoughts we radiate this, we ad strength to that which supports us. The more we hold and radiate our higher light the quicker we can emanate it as a whole which we are. When we look at things as negative we support negative. / All is a stepping stone in evolution. / The only place we hold our true power is here and now “the eternal now” / We are all in this together may we remember we are one breath / one heart / one mind, / one

I wrote this after watching the glorious sun rise out my green mountain window…everything was pink and white – it was amazing.

This is a poem about how i’d much rather be surrounded by my own quiet; nature and all the wosdom she brings, than surrounded by artificial sounds, and temporal sounds.
It seems the winds are still at last. / And now, I must accept the still. / Indulge in bells from inward stop. Greet it as relations who…
