Creativity

Release

/ Kendall Scott / 1 Comment

I’ve been imagining that I would write a post…for quite some time. I’d like to close this year with my personal story documenting the road of recovery that I am on within my creative practice and my life.

Back in October, a few days before the Solar Eclipse, whilst taking a walk on a lovely mid day , my foot connected with something sticky resulting in one heck of a flying off the mat high fall. I landed on my shoulder as my right wrist caught the weight of the impact.

Somehow I twisted in mid air landing to experience both ankles sprained, left wrist sprained, ribs & hip impacted ( I must have bounced ), right knee, cannot even say, except it took some time to heal, thankful for Frankincense essential oil with jojoba for wounds. Consciously astounded, aware that I screamed going down, in Aikido we call it a “KeeAi”, the sound certainly helped me break that fall and not hit my head. I looked at my dislocated right hand in dismay , knowing that I was really hurt. Caring strangers rushed to assist, 911 was called; the hospital emergency staff took very kind care of me. I am in humbleness & forever grateful to everyone that helped me in those first eight hours.

Then comes being with the new situation. The pain, the meds, the reality. My left hand had to quickly adapt.

The question in the air, would I get usage of my right hand back ? Would I be able to create and draw & paint with my left hand ? When I write, I engage my inner voice with my hands, Right Brain / Left Brain together, until today I had no creative access to my writing voice, my inspiration that leads to thoughts on a page, I’ve simply been waiting. I have certain gifts of patience, yet my impatience and fears dominated. Naturally, circumstances of reality are a layered process just as the Arts are, the back story foundations holding place for experiential depth. I cannot legibly write with my left hand, professionals kept wanting my signature, I no longer had one. My experience is not a rarity although this was my first broken bone, athletic injuries, I’ve had many, and my legs suffer from previous soft tissue bone injury, but I don’t paint with my feet. My empathy and compassion for others with these experiences has increased.

With two bones in my right wrist broken, distal radius and ulna styloid, my fingers had become a part of the injury, which I now know is common. Left hand texting was easy to adapt to, cooking is still an issue but after 8 weeks beginning to get easier. My collage practice is on pause, yet I can type . Today, with more ease my right hand is also engaging with the keyboard….occupational therapy.

I enjoy studying my crafts, I have a few, prior to my fall I took a deep dive into ongoing education with Intentional Creativity, the previous year I completed a Sacred Journey Certification, with Journey Path Institute, now I’ve had to pause and wait to heal before applying my knowledge to my creative and professional practice.

Clearly I am a work in progress, my Moon Circles continue, I can watercolor in my Cosmic SmashBook, yetthe big news is that my left hand can paint ! As my healing is incremental , every day new ground is strengthened in all areas.

Here is my first left hand painting , and below my Guardian Medicine Painting (work in progress) I’ll close the year in Gratitude, I’ll open the New Year with Hope and Faith. Blessings to each of you who follow me and support my work.

                   May this upcoming year be a balm for your heart and spirit.

A Golden Path, Visionary Woman, Red Thread

Hi Dear Followers of Visionary Woman ~

It has been along time since my last post , I have struggle often times beginning posts with so much to say , then nothing to say. So I stopped, just like a stubborn mule, I stopped writing and sharing, but never stopped diving in this mysterious path called Life.

Now I am embracing a more artistic life, moving into another expression of myself as a visionary woman. A new site is evolving to weave Intentional Creativity with the Gene Keys ~ with a sense of passionate play visions are being called forth from the ethers waiting for me to pull them into reality.

I paint more now as a spiritual practice, create more altars ~ ponder more mysteries and sleep more deeply. The rains are creating a music tonight in the sweet August air of New Mexico ~

~ I will approach its evolution as a creative project not a final expression, as a very spontaneous being if I tried to actually finish it to be “ready” I will never ever get it together.

More sweet news in my world is that Richard Rudd, friend and mentor, has completed restructuring his site, so a new journey begins from the vantage point of the Gene Keys, The Golden Path.

Richard has begun a pilot Affiliate program which I am blessed to be included in at this stage of development click the butterfly.

I have found particular elements of the work to be exquisitely helpful on my own journey, these elements I call the Golden Keys which I am connecting to mystical element of  The Red Thread.

Richard has brilliantly fleshed out the language of the “Lines” which I refer to as the Golden Keys, these keys serve in unlocking dark and stuck places within our creative and emotional environments.

Over these months I have cultivated a creative process embracing these “Lines” to support us in the cycles of creative unfolding whether we are painting, drawing , writing or have a good old tussle with our shadow self.

( I have a name for the process too but where did I place that magical notebook full of mysterious revelations…hmmmm, have to wait until the reveal !)

My unfolding journey with the Gene Keys became challenging when I truly wished to find a way to open a portal for you to feel them without us getting so in our heads with it all and too intellectual , consequently I went on another journey…with another mentor, Shiloh Sophia McCloud, I have enjoyed several courses over the years ( simultaneously with Gene Keys) which naturally led this past year to the Certification program The Color of Woman, which then has led to The Red Thread Nation. The scope of the possible is breathtaking and heart expanding.

More later ~

With Abundant Blessings,

Kendall
