Anne Marie’s New Book of SoulCollage® Essays!

walking the path cover jpg 2I’ve spent several months going through and sorting out (and EDITING!), my Soul Treasures columns from the last five years. This brand spankin’ new book has 87 of them, for your SoulCollage® enjoyment!

Let yourself be guided on the creative, expressive path of SoulCollage®.

87 soul-inspiring essays will lead you to various ways to honor:

  • Yourself and All of Your Inner Parts
  • Beloveds/Teachers in Your Community
  • The Individual Parts of Your Journey
  • Naysayers Who Get In Your Way
  • Many Ways to Work with Your Cards
  • Frequently Asked Questions About the Process

Each essay is followed by prompts for journaling as well as suggestions for SoulCollage® card making and further reading. Most essays have links to examples of SoulCollage® cards included.

You are not alone on the journey” is the powerful message conveyed by this book – don’t we all need to hear it? Through stories, prompts, and the voices of her SoulCollage® cards, Anne Marie invites us to creative practice and deeper connection with our souls. “Honor every step of way” is the call woven through these inspiring pages. Let them beckon you to new inner discoveries and surprises.
~ Mariabruna Sirabella, Lead Trainer at SoulCollage Inc .

If you are new to the process, you will get a good feel for the inner depths that you can discover.

If you are already making cards, you will be invited to swim deeper into the heart-opening process that is SoulCollage®.

If you are a SoulCollage® Facilitator, you will find a treasure trove of ideas and activities for you to use in your workshops as well as with your own personal deck.

Leaning Back, Moving Forward

At one of our monthly SoulCollage® classes for Kindred Spirits, we received beautiful time and space to write a poem based on one of our cards.

Here is the card I drew and the poem I wrote:

Leaning back into joy
I am not afraid
Leaning back
I fall
I rest
I smile
I trust

Walking forward towards the light
I am not afraid
Walking forward
I move
with ease
I see
I trust

And so it is true
that leaning back
and walking forward
are exactly the same.

I encourage you to draw a card from your deck today and just jot down some words and phrases to create a simple poem either ABOUT the card or FROM the voice of the card. Go ahead… it’s easy!

Journeys

Here are two different cards about the idea of Journeys.  I made the first one about 10 years ago. In the last few months, I made the second card and and was delighted to hear about this Neter’s different aspect of life journeying:

scjourneyerI am the Journeyer.  I am the one who is on a Journey through life.  No one can take your journey but YOU.  There are times on your journey when you are moving forward and times when you are sitting still and pausing.  There are sunny days and stormy days and also cold, lonely days.  No one can walk your journey but you.

My message for you today is this- be proud of YOUR journey.  It is uniquely ours and you are journeying well.

 

scjourneytogether

We are the ones who are journeying TOGETHER!  We are the ones who are each on our own individual quest, our own unique journey, but we have found that the journey is easier and more FUN when we hook arms and travel with others who are on similar journeys.

Our gift to you is the knowing that you don’t have to journey alone.  We give you camaraderie along the way.  We give you companionship.  We give you shoulders to lean on and partners for the long haul.

We need you to remember that even though YOU are the only one who can travel your journey, there is no need to shut yourself off from others.  Ask for help. Ask for others to share their journeys with you too.  There is much to gain from offering your hand to others as you journey onwards.

On Being Empty

This is one of those “Mystery Cards” that take me a while to sit with before I “hear” a message.  In order to work with this Neter, I decided to focus on just one aspect of it—the woman in pink near the bottom. Even though the figure at top right is bigger and feels more imposing, the woman in pink seemed more compelling to me. I couldn’t stop wondering who she was or where she was going.

Who are you?

(Woman in pink): I am the one who carries a pink jar and has dark skin and is wearing a pink patterned dress. I am the one who is carrying my empty jar. It is waiting to be filled.

I am the one who stands in front of five green bowls that are empty, nestled inside of one another.

I am the one who is rising out of a nautilus shell that keeps creating chambers within itself.

I am the one who is not alone among the shells and the bowls. I am guided and protected by a great Veil of Angel Wings. I am guided and protected by The One who guards me with deep, golden, feminine wisdom.

I am the one who moves forward, holding lightly onto my large and empty pink jar, surrounded below and above by Things of Spirit.

What do you have to say to me today?

My message for you today is this: even the empty green bowls are of Spirit. Emptiness is good in and of itself. All empty things do not necessarily need to be filled immediately. Or ever!
