The conductor and music were found images...I made major changes to a random picture to portray the conductor. The boarding pass  came from one of my trips. I enhanced it to represent a magical trip soon after I saw the new Alice in Wonderland 3D movie. You will learn how to compose your own imaginative, inspiring images, even if you can't draw.

Art Journaling, also called Visual Journaling, is a powerful technique we can use to communicate with our deep inner consciousness.

Carl Jung said "The soul speaks in images."

You do not need to be an artist to practice visual journaling, although many artists use it as a rich resource.

Your visual journal is a visual diary. It is meant for your own eyes...although you may choose to share parts of it.

You can color pages with paint and pattern to set a mood. Add pictures or photos that "speak" to you.
Since this is for your eyes only, you can use images from magazines or newspapers or books...or your own photos (without concern over copyright).
You may paint over parts you don't want to include...tear them up...reassemble them.
You may write on them...

The idea is to communicate with your deepest heart...your soul...your subconscious.

What you'll learn in this Visual Journaling Class will transform your life.

Beauty is not necessary for a visual journal, although you may make it beautiful if you choose. I like for my journal to be beautiful so that it inspires me again every time I look at it.

For best results, work in your journal daily for a few minutes if you can. But even if you can't work in your journal regularly, your creative right brain will be processing your questions and developing ideas for you.

You can paint pages with your favorite colors.
The act of painting will help you get in touch with your soul.

A visual journal is an easy non-threatening way to begin to learn to paint, even if you have never held a brush.

If you are an experienced artist, you may use your journal pages to try out new painting techniques.

You'll see how easy & how much fun it is.

You can add ribbons to make your journal feel like fun.

You can make a cover to personalize it even more.

You can make pockets or add envelopes in which to tuck precious bits, notes & photos...
or whatever else you want to keep in this special place...perhaps a quotation
...or a secret wish that you aren't yet ready to recognize by actually writing it on a page.
Many important events in our lives begin as a secret wish. Write it down & tuck it in your journal.

If you use your journal for intimate discussions that you don't want to share,
but you think you may want to show your journal, you can paint over the confidential entries,
so they aren't visible. You still receive all the benefits of the process.

You can use your visual journal to explore goals or alternate paths, to resolve problems and more.
You can even use your visual journal to choose a vacation spot or design your garden...or the life you WANT.
The choice of how to use this tool is yours.I'm introducing you to the techniques and the power.

I have used the visual journaling process for many years in my own live.
