Chapter TwoHow art and healing are one5
YourinnerartistfindsyourinnerhealerThe basic message of Creative Healing is very simple. Art heals you, art heals others,and art heals the earth. Each of us has deep within us an inner artist and an inner healer.The inner artist is the part of us that is passionately creative, that feels love, that feelsconnected to everything around us, that can see, that knows who we are, that is at home,and that is at peace. The inner artist can go anywhere in the inner world. No place isclosed to them. They can even go to the inner healer and merge with it and bring it out.The inner healer is the part of you that balances your body perfectly and sets your bloodflow, your immune system, your killer T cells to be in harmony. Art frees the healerwithin so you can heal yourself of an illness. Art frees your spirit so your mind and bodyare in harmony. Art frees your immune system to work at its optimum and help you heal.Art helps you conquer disease by freeing your inner healer to work at its optimum.Alet’ssaystoryLet’s say there is an aspect of you that you cannot see. And even more puzzling, it is thewisest and deepest aspect of who you are. Let’s say that you are an ordinary woman oran ordinary man. You go through your daily routine- pick up your kids, run a business,do all the things you do. And still you somehow feel confused, disconnected fromsomething deeper within you. You have a feeling that there is something missing, almosta life unlived. And then, one day, you get a diagnosis that you are ill, or find yourself incrisis. It could be any illness, or a life event that results in a deep depression. You go toall kinds of health care providers, physicians, psychologists, and alternative healers, toseek healing. You take herbs, do exercise, get body work done , and utilize manydifferent types of therapies. They all help in differing degrees but none of them feelslike the essence of healing. Your body experiences itself as ill and you feel disconnectedfrom it and betrayed by it. You know that deeper within your body is the source of yourlife, and now that you are ill you feel the need to make contact with this source.Somehow you know if you can make the connection to that part of yourself it will helpyou heal.Now let’s say you can make art, any art and that this process will help you find the part ofyourself that will heal, the part of yourself you have been looking for. Let’s say it is thatsimple. Let’s say that all you have to do is to find the part of yourself that can say "I aman artist." All you have to do is to allow yourself to be more creative, to move, sing,write, dance, and do it spontaneously without censorship. Let’s say that if you allow it tobe seen, it will liberate you so you can get in touch with the healer within. For example,when you paint with abandon, you find an aspect of yourself that knows the truth. Youare manifesting your own creativity. This creativity is your passion, this passion is yourlife. Slowly something within you starts to stir. As you realize that you are the source,you realize that you are what you need to heal.You can picture art and healing like a hero’s journey, a myth, a story, or a fairy tale.Picture yourself as a person who needs to heal your land from a great problem or evil.You travel to a foreign land you have never seen before to find helpers. You go into theforests, the mountains, the deserts and the darkest places. You meet a person who is pure6
magic, a teacher, a seer. They lead you to the secret place where the person who has thepower to heal or solve the problem lives and they introduce you to them. The healer isstuck in a cave or prison and needs to be freed. Only you can perform the feat that letsthem out to heal the land. You throw the ring in the fire, or say a prayer, or do a dance,and they come out and are free and their enormous power heals the land. Of course themeaning of this story is clear. You are the one who will be healed. The land is the innerworld of your imagination. The figure who is the seer is you as the artist. The figure whois the healer is you too. It is all you. It only seems like they are different parts. Thisjourney will bring you to them. This journey will make the story true.When we each find our own song, as Larry LeShan says in Cancer As A Turning Point,and find out what we love the most, our self- healing mechanisms begin to function attheir optimum. Deep within all of us is the place of perfect beauty from which we allcome. It the same place from which we are born. It is the same place to which we willreturn. In that place we will find our deepest peace, our most profound memories of whowe are. In our lives this is the place of the memory of our brightest moment. It is tied toour vision of being touched, being nurtured, being loved perfectly, being in the presenceof something greater than ourselves And it is also tied to our memory of our greatestsadness, of our losses, of our fears of our own death. In the center of this place of beauty,is the energy that heals us. This is also the energy of our own passionate egendoftheoldwomanofthespringsStories have always been used by healers. We are taught most profoundly by symbols,morals, and archetypes whose meanings sink in without our always understanding themat first. This is why fairy tales were told to children, why stories from the Bible, theKoran, or the Vedas were told to help people feel the presence of a greater power, whyeven older myths and legends, have always been used to help people grasp the ineffable,the sacred.Guided imagery as a mind body therapy is also deeply relaxing and experiential. It is abasic tool in medicine used for many illnesses. It is used in cancer clinics worldwide tohelp cancer patients relax and heal. Guided imagery is as simple as picturing an event ormemory in your imagination. If you relax and close your eyes and picture your bedroom,you can look around in your imagination and "see" your bed, your dresser, the windows,and the color of the walls. When you use guided imagery for healing, you can picture anillness and your body's healing mechanisms. For example, you can picture cancer cellsand your white blood cells eating them. We did this in the first imagery exercise above.Michael has used guided imagery with cancer patients for twenty five years, and theartists in Mary's program all use guided imagery whether they dance, draw, or tell stories.The legend of the old woman of the springs that we are about to tell is an ancient myth ,that links art and healing. It talks about how art and healing were one in a mythical timeof spirits and how we are still connected to our ancestors through deep memories and ourown physiology. The legend itself is as old as any story and aspects of it appear inNative American legends, Jewish lore, Sufi myths and African stories. The legend of the7
old woman of the springs is about the wellspring of creativity that is within each of us. Itis about creation, connections, and our birth.It is also a story about you being loved perfectly for who you are right now. In thelegend, the old woman of the springs who created you, loves you, even if you are ill, incrisis, depressed, or lost. She loves you into the very center of your sadness, the deepestheart of your pain, the core of your anger. In a real sense, the old woman of the springs isour ancient mother. And we all have the memories of being inside her body in the softwhooshing, the moving, the dimmed colors, the lub dub of her heartbeat, the flowingsounds of her breathing. This is the first healing art, music, and dance that we recall.This ancient legend brings us there as softly as she sings. Do you hear her voice?Healing art is about going back into the place where we were loved perfectly, and wherewe were embraced by sound, colors, and movement. It is about you loving yourself forwho you are right now and being seen and honored for who you are right now. In thelegend, the old woman is the one who nurtures us in that way. For you, the old womancan be anyone; it can even be an old man- gender is not important here. In this book thelove starts from inside of you.All through this book we take the story of the old woman of the springs and expand it anduse it to help you understand how art heals. Whenever we tell the story, you can rest.You don't have to think, analyze, understand, or learn anything. Each time the story istold let it take hold of you as if it were a lullaby. Relax, have fun, be entertained. Letyourself heal.I will tell you a story. It is a story that is older than any other. This story is deep in ourmemories, this story is deep in your soul. It is the story of the creation of art and healing.It always begins with the story of the old woman of the springs. She has always beenseen as the weaver of our dreams, as the mother of creativity and art, as the one whocould heal. Close your eyes, relax, let your breathing slow down. We will start from theordinary, from your kitchen table, from a drive in your car, or a hospital room fromwherever you are. And we will take you deeper. We will go into our imagination on ajourney. Let us go into a mystical forest. It is a secret place, it is the place that only youcan see, it is a place in your imagination . You can find it in any moment. You will find itby becoming ill, by being in a life crisis, by seeing death, by falling in love, by becomingan artist. First, imagine that you are on a path. It is a narrow path, the ground is dirt, itis hard enough so it is comfortable to walk on. It is the path of the creative healer. Asyour feet find it, you can imagine that you start to walk. Feel the hard ground, hear yourfootsteps fall, feel the grass on the sides of the path touch your legs. Smell the air, feelthe warm soft breeze on your face. As you walk you begin to feel differently, the air itselfchanges, it opens and fill’s with light., it expands and as it expands, you expand too.Your eyes open wider. your ears can hear more clearly. Your body moves by itself andyour breath is not only yours anymore.As you go down the path, your way darkens and narrows slightly. The leaves touch yourskin and the soft earth caresses your feet. The warm moist air glistens on the leaves likedew drops and the energy within you flows outward. As you look ahead, you can see anemerald pool down a short hill. It is round and beautiful and it shines in the afternoon8
sun. It is on the bottom of a glade of small trees. The pool is deep blue and perfectlyround and in its center is a
