I love this idea but am slightly fearful to try it and see how I'd portray my aching body. Broke my shoulder 4 months ago and I know for sure that would be prominent. Could be cathartic though! (ps that penis that declares it is "Still Alive!" will haunt me all day πŸ˜³πŸ˜‚)

My apologies for the penis trauma πŸ˜…

I know how you feel... I did a body map yesterday and there were an awful lot of aches and pains on display, haha. But a broken shoulder! That's major. I hope you're all healed up.

Thanks! Shoulder is frozen now, so lots of physio for me!

Just registered for your upcoming journaling workshop, really looking forward to it!! ☺️

Thanks Kelsey! πŸ€“ I mean, not that I am the inventor of body mapping, yikes

Oohhh, I was just going to do a body scan meditation, but I'm going to do this instead. Seeing The Anonymous Lab Rat's example has inspired me too. I love getting exercises like this in my inbox... thanks friend!

Love this idea! Meditation philosophy meets artmaking practice.

Artmaking, journal writing, meditating... all helpful in getting the hell out of your head!
