Intuitive Freedom Cards
A Variation on Soul Collage Cards
This process developed after doing supervision with Libby Schmanke, ATR-BC. She is a Soul Collage facilitator in Lawrence, Kansas, as well as my mentor and supervisor. After doing one of her Soul Collage Card trainings, I realized that something was missing for me. I wanted to also access words, as well as images. So, I developed my own process. This blog entry will describe a bit about the creator of the Soul Collage Card process, as well as the modification of using words for this art therapy directive. It is my belief that using images accesses the right side of the brain, while words access the left, thus creating more stimulation in the entire brain. This causes more processing and thus more healing.
The History of Soul Collage
•
Seena B. Frost
created the Soul Collage Cards idea.
•
For this process,
only Trained Facilitators can guide others in this process.
•
She described why
these cards were so powerful by saying that images come “straight through the
Soul, bypassing the mind.”
These are a few YouTube videos of the Soul Collage author and the process:
Development of Intuitive Freedom Cards
•
These cards are
structurally the same on the collage side.
•
On the back side
of the card, it is given a title and theme, then signed and dated.
•
The cards are
also made by allowing the issue currently being struggled with to come out
naturally in the collage, then explored further on the back of the card.
Materials
–
Mat Board cut
down in to 4 x 6 Mat Cards
–
Glue Sticks
–
Pencils
–
Magazines to cut
out images
–
Scissors
Process
•
Begin by looking
through magazines you are drawn to.
•
Cut out images
that speak to you.
•
Arrange those
images in a 4 x 6 space and then glue them on to the card when you are ready to
place the images how you want them.
On the Back, Give
the Card a…
•
Title
•
Under that, write
down “I Am One Who…” (and finish it with whatever comes to mind for you).
•
Fill the rest of
the back of the card with a description of issue expressed in the collage (on
the front side of the card).
Creating the Card
•
Either choose an
issue to create a card about…
•
Or, create the
card and then see how it fits in to the issues you have currently going on in
your life.
•
Cathartic Action
– “Whoosh”
•
Containment –
“Safe”
Important
•
Work on turning
off the inner critic.
•
Start the card
only when you feel ready.
•
Relax and “allow”
it to come.
•
Have fun with
this process, rather than “make” it happen.
•
Let it flow out
of you without filter.

SoulCollage: An
Intuitive Collage Process for Individuals and Group
I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
