Making art exposed such raw inner feelings that it actually frightened my teenage self. I found security in spirituality while quietly backing away from that intense artistic expression.
In the late 90s I became a student at the School of Metaphysics and eventually taught there for several years.
Topics like concentration, relaxation, meditation, and dream interpretation were coupled with a regiment of daily exercises to help students understand the practical application of these skills in daily life.
While I gained a lot from my education, I was still hungry for other perspectives and experiences. Rebirthing (or Intuitive Breathing) opened my mind to the spiritual connection with my body.
Years later this connection was deepened through my involvement with the Re-evaluation Counseling (RC) organization, which helps facilitate trauma recovery through an emotional process they call “discharge.”
RC was involved in the social justice movement so I traveled the United States, met with a variety of people and returned home with a shift in perspective that required years of processing.
This shift in perspective allowed me to see through media propaganda and furthered my search for truth.
Even though my background in metaphysics taught me that physical dis-ease is an expression of thoughts and emotions, I hadn’t questioned the underlying logic of contagious disease.
As germ theory was replaced by terrain theory in my mind, I began to appreciate the physical world as an expression of truth instead of seeing it as a “fallen” or unworthy condition.
The physical, creative passion that once frightened me as a teenager was cast in a new light.
A decades-long journey brought me back to its starting point, in front of a blank canvas.
