Cast A Spell
When we take time to express our reflections we cast a spell for our creations. Get it out of your head, into the atmosphere, or onto the page. Your expressions will be imbedded into the potion of the pictures we will make. The good, the bad, the weird, the beautiful. It’s all a part of it! Your reflections won’t be shared with anyone, they are just for you.
You are the final ingredient!
ways to cast a spell…
For Speaking Out loud
• Before we stepped in, I was feeling…
• Now, mid-journey, I find myself feeling…
• I’m drawn toward…
• I’m delightfully surprised by…
• A quiet fear I’m holding is…
• I want to stretch into…
• I offer myself permission to…
• I’m tuning into…
• I’m quietly proud of…
• What I’m most yearning for next is…
• The part that sparkles most for me so far is…
For writing…
What part of me that has been hidden in the past is asking to be seen now?
WHERE OR WHO CAN I DRAW SUPPORT FROM?
WHAT REMAINING FEELING FEELS IMPOSSIBLE TO ADMIT OR EXPRESS RIGHT NOW BUT NEEDS TO BE SAID?
Write it down, then delete it! Or burn it! Or keep it and read it and allow yourself to bear witness to the thing that is secretly haunting you.
SET AN INTENTION!
Anything you want to leave behind? Anything you want to bring with you?.
Alternatively….
Go for a drive and scream
Go for a walk and record a voice memo
Call a friend, tell them what you are doing, ask for encouragement, or ask if you can process or vent
Watch a movie that inspires you
Draw a messy picture
Write a bad poem
Write a future letter to yourself to open after the portrait session is over
Write a letter from your future self telling you exactly how it went, what advice would they give you?
Take time to refer to any resources that help you feel inspired and supported (a book, a quote, a film, a special meal, the list can go on!)
If all you did was read through this entire page—that is enough.
Need a witness?
Sometimes it feels good to tell one person, if you’d like that person to be me, feel free to share anything you want in this form.
Your spells won’t be shared publicly.
I’M PROUD OF YOU.
