Do you feel you are ready to get to know yourself better on a deeper level? Or you feel simply hungry for some inspiration, guidance or support? I assure you, the efforts you take for yourself always going to be worth it, and there are so many ways to do just that. Here you find some inspiration and methods that I can help you with on your way towards yourself.

What does this even mean? You might think: I am myself already. Well, if that is so, good for you! I am truly happy to hear that. But is there really an end to this path until we’re alive in this life? From what I’ve learned, there is always room for development, for new discoveries about what you truly are and what you came here to do on this journey called life.

Our human experience makes it very often challenging to leave all the chains behind that our childhood, our early environment or society’s expectations might have forced upon us. We often learn behaviours early on that are truly not helping us on our way to success, happiness and freedom, without even giving us the chance to discover what we are truly like. There can be so much fear, anger, pain and sadness stored in our subconscious, just waiting to be able to receive some breathing space to surface. But there are a few good things about this:

• the more we know our subconscious tendencies, the more we understand ourselves, the more free we become to be who we really are. Without restrictions, without unhelpful behavioural patterns, without limitations.
• the more we understand why we do what we do, why we act the way we do, the more we have the power to make conscious decisions and change those behaviours limiting us.
• and the more space we open up for change, the more light, love and purpose we can fill it with, to be happier, and to be able to take care of those important to us. Be it people, animals, plants or any other beings worth our attention.

Sometimes it is just loads of fun to discover something new about yourself. Other times it is hard work. But it is worth all the effort – after all, isn’t this why we are here, on Earth?

DESCRIPTION

What is the key to our calmness, our inner peace?
How can we feel grounded and safe?
What can we do for each other to make a breakthrough happen? Support each other, as we support ourselves. The two rise through each other. Peace of Mind is a course that teaches you strength, but also kindness. It teaches being gentle with yourself, hence with others. I’m sure you heard it a thousand times, like an old, over-chanted prayer, that you are the key to the world around you – as you change, things, perceptions, reactions change with that. You form your surrounding reality. Every change starts with yourself, later your micro environment will follow, and you might end up having a huge impact on others without even intending so. You are a noble, loving, caring being of this world, who has already achieved and understood a lot. But sometimes we all struggle with things, we all have new dreams to fulfill and challenges we need to face. This is where silence, contemplation and the time spent on ourselves helps. Let me ask you a question. How much time do you spend daily with yourself alone?
Which moments are just about you, what you want, what you dream of, showing your gratitude, care and love for the person you spend most time with: yourself. (The most important thing to be able to give love for those around you, and keep doing that by staying healthy.)
Share your Love with your body, mind and soul, beacuse embracing the balance of this holy trinity means one thing: we are whole. Complete, blessed and happy, good enough as we are at that moment. Of course, we are not always happy! It would be impossible, and wouldn’t challenge us to grow. But every day, even through sadness or exhaustion, we can find something to nurture us, to embrace us with love and acceptance, fill us up with light. If you feel you need some practical aspects and deeper understanding of how to achieve this:
Feeling blessed and loved.
– This course helps you BE it.
If you feel drawn to know more about feminine soul parts we have and how we can connect to those archetypes within ourselves?
– This course helps you REMEMBER.
If you’re curious what Source is, and how do we fill up with its healing energy every day?
– This course helps you CONNECT.

Ever heard of archetypes?

Well, even if you have, it might be useful to read the interpretation below, which might shed a new light to the topic. I always visualize archetypes as little clouds on the sky of humanity’s thoughts, common characteristics and developmental heritage, each of them representing a separate cloud with a set of qualities and skills, strengths and weaknesses – that many of us can relate to. We often find them back in myths, legends, fairy tales and among many others, in our own lives.

So why is it helpful to learn to recognize certain archetypes in ourselves and start an active communication with them as our inner parts?

As human beings, we are immensely complex, each of us living through our own challenges, at times traumas and surely all of us have goals that we want to achieve or that we wish we had. Understanding and connecting to one of those archetypes can help us:

1. Overcome a challenge we haven’t been able to achieve – possibly for a long time

2. Develop a certain characteristic within ourselves that we lacked before due to early childhood traumas or other difficulties in our lives

3. Reach a higher level of understanding of ourselves, which, with time and growth leads to inner peace.

How does identifying those parts within us help us heal or reach our goals?

– we can direct our self awareness to a more specific quality that we are working with

– through understanding we may get closer to identifying the problem that held us back before to develop or sustain that quality within us

– once we see ourselves clearer and can identify the qualities of the desired quality, we can work towards it much easier

– last but not least – I personally think this is the coolest and most important part of the process – we can communicate with that part of ourselves, through calling upon the archetype – be it as a sort of inner strength, a part of us, and part of the collective subconscious that we are all part of – in order to help us heal.

I cannot promise you it will be an easy process. Healing is different for all of us, and at times it can be a challenging and painful journey. It sure entails things we need to face as much within ourselves as in the world around us. That is why it is so important to call upon help when needed. I am grateful for every person in my life who knew what I needed at that exact moment was asking for help, and for those with whom we figoured it out together during longer periods, even years. I’m grateful for everyone who was able to help me with whatever method or understanding served my healing best. The journey of the archetypes has been part of my healing for many years now, and each archetype I’m teaching has meant a profound, deep and long lasting metamorphosis within my personality. The understanding is part psychological, part spiritual, which also honours the original groundwork of C.G. Jung, founding father of art therapy. He understood deeply the soul’s journey towards individuation and provided us with simple, yet complex methods that help us on this path. As he also believed, there are patterns of groups of qualities that humanity went through, created or received as helping force, all of which also incorporate the untangeable realm of Light, that Spirit is able to provide us with to help us heal, and which humanity tranformed into tangible experiences throughout history. Some have been there for us to connect with and call upon since the beginning of time.

My truest hope and aim is that I can embody these qualities in depth and fullness for you to heal through this connection at first, and by establishing your own connection to this realm, as a process. I certainly hope it will lead you one step further on the path towards your own wholeness. What more could an art therapist ask for? Your fulfillment is my fulfillment. My goal with this course is to help you on your path.

Join me on this journey and explore your connection to Source!

We will discover and get to know ourselves with the help of meditation, chanting, wisdom of the archetypes and art therapy.

CHILDREN

Would you like your children to learn to recognize their emotions and deal with stress already in their early years? Stress is present in their lives, as well, maybe without ever being noticed by their environment or even by themselves. Would we like to help our children learn how to handle the challenges that this western style high speed life is demanding them to adapt to? With the help of art therapy, they learn to build a direct connection to their own emotional world, and notice in time when their inner bell is ringing, and most importantly, know what to do with it. If we learn to recognize and handle stress already during childhood, we have a chance to lead a very different, more balanced and happy adult life, than many adults today who never had the chance before to do so. Ever since I have been working with children since 2010, I am amazed how much effect colours and creativity have on their emotions. As children and sensitive adults are very receptive to this form of outlet, it can bring a deep healing to their lives. Our emotions function as a mirror to our soul, which offers a lot of help in recognizing and processing the events of our inner world. If you would like your child to become acquainted with the healing world of art and meditation, please contact me by sending an email to info@henrientti.com 

WHAT IS ART THERAPY?

“The therapeutic effect of art is the obvious recognition that every work that man creates is an expression of something “within us”. It gives news about our inner world, it has a self-strengthening and self-confidence-increasing effect. As imaging plays a major role in the development of early personality, often later, possibly traumatized basic experiences, fantasies, dreams can only be displayed with a direct pictorial expression. When created, unexpected discoveries can occur that often take the lead in insights, learning, and growth. This is why fine arts therapy can be an important adjunct to clinical psychotherapy. We can relieve the body from the events full of tension behind many diseases and symptoms by visual transmission, visual or other perceptual channels: displayed in sound, touch, movement. Artistic activity alone, without interpretation, helps to process traumatic experiences. The sessions provide an opportunity and encourage the patient to relive them on the plane of an activity (painting, drawing, plastic exercises, claying). Fine art therapy seeks to restore the lost balance, its goal is to develop the personality realized during the creative work, to create a psychic model in which the development of calm, clinging and the development of a sense of security leads to a psychic expansion of space by boosting the stagnant creative process. The system of art therapy exerts its effects in a complex way, as a series of interactions. The activity content of the group sessions is basically given by the spontaneous, free painting, the inspiring attunement that evokes the active inner images, and the imaginative exercises provide a protective space for self-expression. The resulting work is a huge source of joy, which encourages this method to become a regular “self-healing” practice.”
