Art of Healing

Healing and art are connected through the process of creative expression. In both life and art we, humans, need to find our way to balance. That means the contrary and complimentary forces of our lives are in harmony. What has been full must be empty, then what has been empty can be filled.

I see this reflected in the cycles of nature, the seasons... growth and destruction... We must have decomposition as much as growth in order for life to be continual balance.

In Mexihka philosophy there is a concept called Ometeotl, two universal energies in balance; like the Yin Yang in Chinese philosophy, it is the forces of duality that bring us life. This is also what bring us art, like in a photograph it is the light and shadows that give us the shapes. It it the balance of opposites that gives life definition.

Ometeotl... May you be in balance...
