​

Sit comfortably with your artwork positioned at eye level.

​

When you are ready, place your hands gently on your stomach and take a deep breath in through your nose. Feel the breath move into your stomach, hold it there for a few seconds, then slowly release it through your mouth. Take three to five deep breaths, allowing any tension in the body to soften and release. Then gently return your breathing to its natural rhythm.

​

With your breathing relaxed and your hands resting comfortably, consciously soften your eyes and gently gaze into the centre of the painting. Begin with the symbol, noticing its curves and shape, and how the colours flow across its form. Slowly expand your awareness outward from the symbol, observing how the colours blend into one another, the layers of colour, and each individual cell formation. Continue until you feel a sense of familiarity and connection with the painting as a whole.

​

Now sit in silence for a while and allow the image of the painting to deepen within your mind. Let the image fill your entire field of awareness, so that only the artwork exists. If your attention drifts, gently guide it back to the painting. Allow the artwork to bring a sense of love and inner peace.

When you are ready, slowly return your awareness and give thanks for the emotional healing you have received.
