The Picture of Health: Healing
Your Life with Art by Lucia Capacchione
As the author
explains, "This book offers a new way to look at yourself and to create
a healthy life through art. By scribbling, drawing, and collage, you will
learn to think and feel on paper. You will be shown how to decode messages
and feelings contained in your body and translate your insight into written
word. You will also learn to reshape your life from the inside out through
visual affirmations - pictures and words of how you want to experience
your life. No special talent or training is required to do these activities.
All you need is the willingness to express your own truth, and the desire
to love and heal yourself." Chapters include Turning Your Worries Around
and a Blueprint for a Healthy Lifestyle. This very accessible text includes
the author's own story of healing as well as many practical exercises for
using the creative force as a healing catalyst.

| My End of the Rainbow Garden has grape
vines, strawberries, honeysuckle, mums, roses, two types of lilacs, giant
sunflowers, angel trumpets and many many more... The flowers are scattered
for there colors. Like a splash of this and a splash of that.. What is
really funny I had neighbors driving past to look at the garden that we
worked at last year so hard. And which is still not finished. I love working
in my garden it is more like a relaxing therapy... I even have a 1500 kidney
shaped water garden with red, white, and yellow lilies and a purple iris
growing in the pond. And yes I also get right in the water and tend to
my plants and goldfish... I even have a pet goldfish named Bronzie, they
are two years old and 8 inches long. And yes I Reiki my plants as seeds
and young plants. My garden is fenced in so to keep out children from the
pond since it is 3 feet deep. And we plan on redesigning it this spring.
I also have a box shaped open on one side arbor where the yellow honeysuckle
is growing. I have had it over two years and it is almost covered. Then
behind the pond is two rainbow roses that are climbers. They bloom reds
to yellows. I got a lot of comments from the neighbors that everything
grows so big... Even my mother in law says that I need to take it easy
on the Reiki because when the seeds are planted and grow you can tell the
difference between the ones that got it and the ones that did not...
Oh and in the arbor I have a little wooden
table for candles and my crystal bowl and other things and a wooden bench
for someone to sit and get there treatments while hearing the water from
the pond.
So that is my garden. We are planning on
getting pictures in the fall. Then I will put them on my site that I am
planning on making...
