Childhood fears still distorting your perception?
This painting hung over the sofa in my maternal grandparents' apartment, and as a child I found it spooky and unsettling. Odd colors, unnameable forms, and that enigmatic eye... When my grandmother passed away in the spring, I asked to have the painting. Not because I "liked" it, but because it made me think of her. When I took it home and unwrapped it I was bracing myself to feel some regret, worried that it would be too creepy or just make me sad.
Turn up your inner light
I want to share a visualization technique I've been using and recommending more and more lately for when you need to summon your own inner power and presence, for example when preparing for a challenging situation or an encounter with a difficult person or group, or just when you're feeling depleted and low and need to call up your best self. I think of it as "turning up my volume."
