Heather Silva- Religious Trauma Expert

Last year I was working through my personal peace journal and on the receiving end of healing some childhood trauma. I had just graduated and gotten my certification in EFT. I was asked to draw as part of my healing process and I said the same thing I had said since I was young. “I can’t even draw a stick figure right and my smiley faces don’t look smiley.” That was what I believed and so that was how it was. Even though I had wanted to be an artist. I remembered trying to finger paint because I so desperately wanted to work magic with paint. I had also just started dot painting mandalas. I could do that. I loved it!

Anyway, the exercise involved drawing a few things with my right hand and then my left hand. I laughed and said ok. To my surprise, it was pretty good! I was beyond surprised and continued dot painting.

I realized how meditative painting was and also how healing. I explored painting as meditation and came across a class. The only drawback, at the time, was that it involved more than dotting. I would have to draw. YIKES! I felt doomed to fail but signed up anyway.

To my surprise again, I painted a beautiful mandala. I signed up for another class. This time, I had to paint a face. YIKES! It was so scary. Again, I was absolutely amazed at how great my painting turned out.

I had cleared out the childhood trauma that had created many limiting beliefs around my creativity. The funny thing is, I didn’t set out to do that. It was a side benefit. I was clearing out a childhood memory and had no idea how many different areas it was healing.

So, here I am a year later, painting beautiful pieces and my creativity is freely flowing. I am now just starting to teach others what I have learned. If I can paint, so can you!

If you are interested in learning more, let me know.
