Some of the best laid plans take much longer to get implemented than anticipated! I first published this post November 22 2010.
Last year I proposed this healing activity and the conspiracy of internet problems and other glitches just put it on the back burner. Many of you were a little relieved to have one less thing to do.
However, I was recently sparked to try this activity again. Can we change the energy of a family system with our old photographs and some scrapbooking techniques? Here we go…
Pictures hold frequencies and energy and so do words, colors, images, fabrics, stickers and the other alluring elements of scrap booking. Put that together with a repatterning in a directed way and you too can create your own healing modality customized to your life and circumstances to heal the energy of your family system. Imagine opening a beautiful scrapbook collage of all of your family members from as far back as you can with words and qualities that heal the energy from a past time?
We are going to do that starting next weekend for the next 2 months – in bite size pieces I will be demonstrating with my own first effort at making a scrap book style altered book as a healing modality. You are invited to join in. You have a few days to get together your material.
Materials Needed (so far)
Family Photographs copied – photocopies of family photos especially grandparents, great grandparents, siblings of said relatives and your own immediate family;
Pictures to symbolize the money in your family tree, the health and/or the relationships. Other symbols of qualities may also be used as you are inspired.
A book to alter or rip apart – go shopping at used book stores for an inexpensive book you can ’alter’ (glue and paste into) for this project. Choose a book that reflects your city, place of origin, culture or some other important aspect of your family system. I am looking for an old coffee table book of Romania, Hungary and Italy (sure could it all come in one book?)
Glue – There is probably an official scapbooking glue for this sort of project, but this is a first effort, and we are not aiming for perfect. I say all purpose white craft glue will work great for this project. + Paintbrushes or sponge brushes to apply the glue
Miscellaneous - Collect together words and images from magazines that speak to the qualities you would like to infuse into your family system. Also stickers, mementos, ribbons and anything else you feeling could be used creatively in your project.
Get a box together to hold your project – it gives the whole thing a bit of reverence.
I am off to do the same and will post some pictures when i am done.
With love and light,
Carolyn
