an eclectic healer's grimoire

🌈Here are 200+ unique representations of how art therapy heals / transmutes / alchemizes. With a mini blurb I'm testing for the accompanying written piece:

"My name is Liv and I've been fully immersed in art therapy for the past 7 years. Through writing, photography, videography, fashion, chromotherapy, balanced color theory, digital quilting, and painting with acrylics; my activeness highlights how even with ptsd you can find peace / calm / and joy again especially in the most unexpected moments. Every piece of art adding to the conversation, through every brush stroke and every color combination, signaling "my voice shall be heard" + "may my pain be forever acknowledged". My favorites thus far. The sacred juxtaposition where love of self meets honoring loss + grief. With this digital portfolio, I hope to reach, call forth, and truly inspire. Enjoy!""

🌈📸: I'm a writer, photographer, ancestral historian, vlogger, energetic analyst, grief + duality doula, sickle cell teacher patient and advocate, as well as painter 🎨

[Audio-visual Description:

Start. Here is a short 30 second video with audio showcasing aerial views of bookmarks (that double as door charms) that have a black base coat and background with individual colors drawn on each bookmark. The flower chosen is a rose; drawn with abstract line work. A swirl or spiral for the rose head, a single line for the stem, and petals with leaves that are drawn to show they have fallen off the core flower. This photoshoot took place in bed; where most of these pieces were painted; forever a bed of roses. The audio is the intro to Kiss From A Rose by Seal. Stop.]

I wrote a new poem today ⚘️ sending to those that would understand - it has somber themes but I believe the words hold weight that neurodivergent black women would thoroughly understand as well. Few days late for love day but channeled this afternoon. Cw: poetry, channeled posting style, clairaudience, self expression, learning how to trust oneself again after hiding your emotions, cptsd, art therapy, memorial, remembering loved ones that have passed away, death, faith, grief, loss, and gratitude ⚘️
