Why "Wishing Wellness"?

When I was a little girl, my grandmother had what I considered a magical garden.  An Adirondack chair overlooked bright orange fish swimming in a small pond, while a lath house filled with fuchsias dripped flower buds that I could pop. There were Birds of Paradise set against green shutters, and a clothesline I used like a gymnasium.

And there was a wishing well.

Wishing you well.  Wishing upon a star. Wishcasting dreams, goals, hopes.

Wells in myths and stories inspire tales of purity--water as a life force. Toss a coin into the wishing well and your dreams might come true. In European folklore, water was a scarce treasure, so wells were thought to house dieties.  Wishing on a well was asking and honoring the deity in residence. 

I like the idea of envisioning wishes about your health and wellness.  Consider this wishing with intention.  Not the fluffy wish that is lumped with the "try" and the "should"...but a goal, a vision.  Wishes become a focus, and a focus invests you in achieving results.  What are your wishes? 

Also, the definition of 'well' is reservoir, or an abundant source. Intuitively within you are the keys to unlock your wishes and make them reality.

Mirror Mirror in the well...what inspiration might you tell?

I also give art workshops with collage and mosaic to help you visually realize these wishes. Visualization means focusing on your goals--giving yourself a tangible tool to aid you reaching where you want to go and who you want to become.
