• Manifesto For Pain Management and Self Healing
  by Charissa May Borroff

  My definition of pain is tortured nerves that deprive health and happiness e.g backache, depression, stress, tinnitus. There is physical…

  These implements of healing; ANIMAL RESCUE, CESSATION, IDENTIFY HARMFUL NEGATIVITY, RELAXATION, RESPECT FOR ONESELF, RESPECT FOR ALL LIVING THINGS, PUSHING ONESELF, TRUSTING ONESELF, / CONNECT WITH NATURE, CONNECT WITH POSITIVITY, POSITIVE SYMBOLIC MEANING, POSITIVE SYMBOLIC ACTIONS, CONSERVE ENERGY, RECORDING YOUR PROGRESS, when 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! In the last month I’ve attended some 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.

• DANCING CLOWN

  He gave me a fixed stare, and his eyes got really dark and all seeing…He started pulling out my drawers and banging them back shut, fas…

  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.

• TRAPEZE...
  by JaneAParis

  Then the battery exploded and the acid ate away at her face. It was very gruesome. I watched her face melt. It ate right through her head…

  This dream has a lot of psychological connections and symbolism. A few places in my pyche that it covers are; 1) feeling split in two, I am really both the girls in the dream 2) feeling set-up for a fall ie: TRAPEZE 3) feeling betrayed, hurt and murdered 4) feeling a huge lack of privacy, like a circus freak show 5) feeling no safety 6) feeling forced to do tricks, and then paying for it with your health and life 7) feeling the hate of a large group 8) feeling isolated, this is all in the middle of nowhereland 9) feeling desolated and alone after it all, or was she? This was a large scale temporary operation…in my dream, but not in my life. The car battery represents the illness that has devastated the inside of my body and health. I think the sport activities were symbolic of sex, and the unicycle indicated that she was trying to be independent, on her own, but look what happened to her on her own.

• Dog Shit Symbolism
  by IdKid

  What an amazing sack of shit.

  I love the seemingly meaningless minutae of life. The things that most of us take for granted most of the time. I think these are the things that when you unpack them contain the richest and most fertile material for understanding our existence.

• The Wreck of Maghareds Heart - An Epic Poem
  by fullcirclemandalas

  I hesitantly stretch forth my fingertips / and grasp the dusty silky smoothness / of her

  I use the symbol of the wrecked ship to represent my self, my soul and my wounded and ageing heart. I use the first person symbolically to represent the separateness of my soul, the duality of my nature. I use symbols of seagulls to represent flight. The ships bell is the beating of my heart. The ships wheel is my destiny and I, who am in control of my life. She has lain bereft of love for so long she has become as the other rubbish in the harbour – discarded, not missed. This is a metaphor of a life battered by the experience of living and loving. The jetty is the bridge which I must cross from my life of consumerism and shallowness to regain my soul

• The unicorn (as a symbol)
  by Julian Armeni

  something so perfect could never go to waste in willing hands

  The unicorn to me is the symbol of what I wish to achieve, attain, or possibly also who I wish to find. It’s special, it’s perfect, it’s all I ever wanted, but as much as you wish for such a thing, you know the odds are against you. This is fueled by man’s everyday normal hunger for more than they could possibly ever have. At least we can dream.
