Guided: A new chapter
Guided from Guided by Spirit: Wisdom of the Four Aspects digital card deck.
Welcome back, it has been awhile! As I sit with the card Guided from my digital deck, Guided by Spirit: Wisdom of the Four Aspects which was chosen at random, I feel its message weaving beautifully into this new chapter of my life and work. This is the first blog post in a long while for ART from SPIRIT, and it feels fitting that the theme is about guidance, dreams, and trusting the path forward.
In July this year, I opened ART from SPIRIT as an art therapy private practice in Ballarat, Victoria, offering art therapy services in-person and online. This step was born from listening deeply to my own inner compass, following the quiet yet steady guidance that has been with me for years. It is both exciting and humbling to step into this space, offering art therapy services in private practice while continuing to nurture my own intuitive art making. Both aspects of a whole - expressions of healing, creativity, and connection.
This Guided card reminds us that our dreams and aspirations are not just fleeting ideas; they are living seeds within us. They ask to be tended, even when growth feels slow or uncertain. For me, creating this practice has been about holding onto the vision of what I want to offer - spaces of healing, creativity, and self-discovery, while trusting that the steps will unfold in their own time.
The card invites us to pause and imagine our dreams fully realised. To close our eyes and see, feel, and sense what it is like to live them. This practice of visualisation is not just wishful thinking - it is a way of aligning energy, intention, and action. When I imagine the people who I will welcome through the doors of ART from SPIRIT, I see them finding a safe space to explore, heal, and grow, leaning on creative practices to do so. This vision keeps me grounded and inspired.
This card is also a reminder that the path may not look exactly as we expect. Dreams evolve. They shift shape. Yet the essence, the heart of what we long for, remains true. ART from SPIRIT may grow in ways I cannot yet imagine, but I trust that the core intention of inspiring growth and healing from within will always guide its direction.
As I recommence this journey of sharing through ART from SPIRIT, I hold close the wisdom of Guided:
Nurture your dreams, even when progress feels slow.
Allow them to evolve in unexpected ways.
Trust that support is already on its way.
This is the energy I carry into my work - both in my art therapy practice and through my intuitive art and messages. It is the same energy I hope to share with those I am privileged to work with, whether through art therapy or through my intuitive art and messages.
ART from SPIRIT: Inspiring growth and healing from within.
