My promise to myself is to have this assignment completed by the end of tonight.
I have completed the reading.
In spite of a lapse of writing the topic of : Exformation, has been on my mind since the beginning the new year. It has been at best challenging and difficult in a way that no other assignment as been so far.
I journeyed to the space that ; I was scared to go.
I began returning to my studio upstairs on a regular basis shortly after the NewYear. Primarily because a Chattanooga Dealer liked some of my older pieces and wanted to know if I could paint more simular pieces and secondly because I view Painting as a form of : Exformation.
Exformation- To let energyin all its forms including the toxic form to move thru me and outwards
I wasn't expecting the process of painting to trigger memories and flashbacks but it has. It makes sense now that i look back . I am still painting as a form of exformation although I have begun to complete it with recovery self care tools....
Repulsive Demons have to be hugged. When they feel the hug of the embrace they vaporize down like the nasty green wicked witch and turn into frightened little children. One has to take them and Rock them like loving Mother/Fathers of the Pieta / until the vibrations of your beatinglivingloving heart jumpstarts thiers.
For a long time I called my Demon the Monkey Witch Woman and did alot of journaling and scrap art work on on the topic.
The things that need to be exformed at this moment in time are my Flash-back/Memories while I integrate stuff in guided process work ( Therapy) and at the same time work the usua Self care stuff.
I would say that shear physical energy needs exformation as it puts me back into my body agin. so That would be exerciseing more.
Allowing myself to cry and more.
Watching my cats groom each other and having connection to my next door neighbors German Shepherd: Max . Contact with Animals has a Healing Quality to it. It is more than just Spiritual it has a Healing/Safeness that brings me back to feeling "Home and Grounded".
Feelings of Loneliness in spite of good friends and a casual boyfriend... its the lack of connection.
I have had more flucuations in hearing loss. So next week I have a hearing evaluation at Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson. I need to work more on "Aroma-therapy" so I have bought some home made soap. Both that sit in my kitchen. One that smells like fresh milled whipping cream and the other like liquorish.
Using my other senses helps me to Exformate.
