I thought that to guide people in corporate settings, I had to avoid anything\u2026 <i>un<\/i>-corporate.<\/p>\n<p>After all, what would CEOs, VPs, directors and other serious professionals think if I started talking about things like <a href=\"https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/2020\/08\/how-to-refresh-the-energy-of-your-space\/\">smudging<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/2015\/05\/shift-emotions\/\">fire ceremonies<\/a>, or sand painting, alongside employee engagement, productivity, and retention rates? Surely they wouldn\u2019t take me seriously as a leadership coach.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4565 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/self_acceptance_melisa-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/self_acceptance_melisa-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/self_acceptance_melisa-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/self_acceptance_melisa-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/self_acceptance_melisa-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/self_acceptance_melisa.jpg 333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And yet, a part of me felt that coaching at just the head level wasn\u2019t enough. I knew that people were struggling in multiple areas of their lives, and that those struggles impacted every other area. I was fighting these duelling beliefs. One saying I had to keep things \u201cprofessional\u201d, the other saying people need a holistic approach to coaching that honors their full experience as human beings.<\/p>\n<p>I began gradually trying things out. There was the time I got \u201ccaught\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/2020\/01\/do-you-bring-your-weird-to-work\/\">smudging<\/a> an office space, the time <a href=\"https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/2020\/02\/when-do-you-dare-bring-the-true-you-out\/\">I let my heart guide fully guide me<\/a> with my leadership tribe, and so many more moments and experiences that kept showing me the way. Covid has been an especially eye-opening experience, as so many of my coachees have struggled in ways none of us have experienced before. By using my <a href=\"https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/energy-medicine\/\">energy medicine techniques<\/a> in partnership with coaching, I was able to bring a whole new dimension to coaching sessions that helped so many people, myself included.<\/p>\n<p>These experiences showed me that I didn\u2019t have to keep any part of myself hidden away. In fact, I was a much better leader when I led from my whole self.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, I\u2019ve come to embrace <a href=\"https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/2021\/12\/how-to-find-self-acceptance-in-a-world-designed-for-self-criticism\/\">radical self-acceptance<\/a>, which has taken me, my business, and the people around me to heights I never could have imagined. I vowed to myself that I would no longer split myself into different personas. One way of honouring that vow would be to bring more of my \u201cwoo woo\u201d &#8211; including practices like sand painting &#8211; into my professional coaching practice.<\/p>\n<p>That vow has led to some amazing experiences and growth for the people I coach, which has been especially apparent in guiding clients through the chaos, uncertainty and disconnection of the past few years.<\/p>\n<p>So, here I am, sharing a practice that some might consider a bit \u201cout there\u201d, but that I know in my heart can help you initiate powerful shifts to propel you forward on your journey.<\/p>\n<p>With that, let\u2019s \u201cdig in\u201d to sand painting.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"3\"><b>What is a Sand Painting and How is it Used?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Here in North America, the practice of sand painting is most closely associated with the ceremonial practice of the Navajo people, but sand art &#8211; sometimes also known as earth art or land art &#8211; has roots in several cultures including Tibetan, Japanese, Georgian and more.<\/p>\n<p>There are also different forms of sand painting techniques. In some practices, \u201cpaintings\u201d are created using different colored sands, with natural materials used to create colors such as gypsum, charcoal, or sandstone. There are some beautiful examples of sand painting images <a href=\"https:\/\/theojac.org\/blog\/2020\/11\/23\/an-art-of-healing-navajo-sandpainting\">here<\/a>. Another form is to create a \u201cpainting\u201d using items &#8211; usually taken from nature &#8211; placed on a sand \u201ccanvas\u201d. It\u2019s that second form we\u2019ll explore here.<\/p>\n<p>What is the purpose of sand painting? How a Native American sand painting is used in ceremonies varies. In indigenous cultures like the Navajo, they are part of sacred healing ceremonies. Who is responsible for sand painting rituals in Navajo culture? As it\u2019s a healing practice, it\u2019s the responsibility of the medicine man who creates a painting, or several paintings, as part of a healing journey. The paintings are seen as living spiritual entities, rather than static pieces of art, and are meant to be temporary. After the ceremony, paintings are typically completely erased &#8211; with deep respect and reverence &#8211; as though they never existed.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"4\"><b>Respect for <\/b><b>Sand Painting Origins<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Before we get into the details, I\u2019d like to emphasize the importance of respect for sand painting and its origins. In my energy medicine training, a great deal of time and care is taken to teach the sacred origins of practices like sand painting, as well as the impact that colonialism has had on indigenous people and their culture.<\/p>\n<p>As humans, there is so much to learn from each other, especially in terms of how we approach emotional struggles, inner discovery, spiritual healing, compassion, community, and so on. Traditional western-eurocentric practices aren\u2019t all bad, but they do tend to massively miss the mark in terms of respect for humanity, which robs all of us of our divine rights as human beings.<\/p>\n<p>If you choose to incorporate sand painting into your mindfulness journey, please do so with respect for the origins of the practice, and with the understanding that when we use sand painting in our personal mindfulness practices, it is <i>not<\/i> a traditional Navajo (or other) ceremony. Those ceremonies are sacred, and not for those outside the community to co-opt. What you are practicing is a mindfulness technique inspired by the awesomeness of human history.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"5\"><b>How to Practice Sand Painting<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Sand painting is traditionally a healing practice, but for our purposes, I encourage you to also consider it as a practice to create shifts in your life.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Before you begin:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Think of an area (or areas) in your life that you want to heal or shift in some way. Consider where you are at in life right now, and your intentions for what you want to create. Close your eyes and take a few breaths to really feel the energy of what you want to impact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>What you will need:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>A \u201ccanvas\u201d.<\/strong><br \/>\nSand is the traditional choice, but you can also use salt, or even snow.Your sand painting should be inside a circle. Use your finger to simply draw a circle in the sand, create a border with natural items like sticks or leaves, or use a circular plate, dish or other container to fill with your sand, salt or snow.Don\u2019t actually create your canvas yet. Just have the materials or space ready.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Sacred items.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe items you choose are a key element of this practice.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4566 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mandala-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mandala-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mandala-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mandala-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mandala-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mandala.jpg 333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Go for a walk while holding in your heart the energy of what you want to create. Collect items that resonate with what you want to heal and\/or shift, or that represent your intentions in some way.For example, a budding leaf may represent something new. A smooth stone may represent a struggle that you want to smooth out. A forked twig may represent a choice you need to make. Or maybe there isn\u2019t an obvious connection, but your heart is telling you that this is meaningful.If an item calls out to you, but you aren\u2019t sure what it represents, select it anyway. You may discover its meaning as you\u2019re creating.If you take anything literally connected to nature (such as a leaf connected to a tree), first ask permission from nature.You can also walk around your home and select items that jump out at you. Keep in mind that this is a practice rooted in connection to nature, so natural items are best. This could include things like a small stone or wood carving, a natural gemstone bracelet, dry beans or lentils, even a toothpick!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Where to \u201cpaint\u201d:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">I strongly encourage you to create your painting in an outdoor space, if possible. Even if it\u2019s on a balcony with your sand or salt in a dish, outside is preferred to strengthen your connection to nature.That said, if you don\u2019t have access to an adequate outdoor space, creating your painting indoors is perfectly acceptable. If you can, open a window to let the fresh air in, download an app to play nature sounds, or burn incense, a nature-scented candle, or essential oils.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>What to do:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Open sacred space for yourself.In my energy medicine training, we learned the traditional process for <a href=\"https:\/\/thefourwinds.com\/prayer-for-opening-sacred-space\/\">opening sacred space<\/a>. Without that training, you can still symbolically open a space for yourself. First, ensure the space you\u2019ve chosen is a peaceful environment where you feel at ease. If you\u2019re inside, make sure the space is tidy and comfortable.Start by taking some deep, cleansing breaths. Close your eyes and <a href=\"https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/2021\/12\/how-to-create-a-vision-board-and-what-to-do-with-it\/\">visualize<\/a> the areas of your life you want to work on through your sand painting. Let yourself feel the energy of it spread from your heart to fill your body.Call in the Universe or whatever greater force resonates with you. Ask it to guide your hands as you build your painting.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Create your circular canvas. Every step in this practice is sacred, so create with intention, letting your heart and the Universe guide you.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Select your first item to place in your sand painting. Hold it in your hand and feel what it represents for you. Draw in a deep breath, then breath out your intentions onto the item.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Place your item inside your circle, letting your heart guide its position. You can place it atop the sand, or nestle it in a bit. Whatever feels right to you.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Select your next item and repeat steps 3 and 4.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">As you go about placing items, you can reposition any other item. Your sand painting is a living, dynamic creation that you are free to alter as you choose.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In placing or repositioning items, always take a moment to consider why you\u2019re choosing to place an item where you\u2019ve placed it. Think about how it relates to the other items in the painting, as well as how it is positioned in relation to you.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Feel free to move around your painting to experience it from all sides.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">When you feel your painting is complete, sit with it for a moment before closing sacred space. To close the space, thank the Universe or whatever guide you called in. Thank it for being with you on this journey and for guiding your creativity.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Keep your sand (or snow or salt) painting in place for a few days. Usually three days is a good amount of time, but let your heart guide you. It will know when the painting and its purpose are complete.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"6\"><b>How to Use Your Sand Painting<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Revisit your painting daily. Take cleansing breaths, connect within and call up what you want to shift.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel compelled to reposition anything in your painting, you can do so. Consider why you&#8217;re moving things, what it means to you, and what may have shifted in your life that prompted the desire to reposition an item.<\/p>\n<p>If you notice any movement in your painting from day to day (this is more likely to happen if your painting is outdoors, but can also happen inside), this signifies change in your life. Look at what has shifted and how it relates to the other items. What does this shift mean to you?<\/p>\n<p>You can create from anything that comes up. If your dog knocks into your painting and things get moved around, what could that movement mean for you and what you want to shift?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"7\"><b>When You Are Done With Your Sand Painting<\/b><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Think about this: What does sand painting symbolize? It symbolizes, among other things, change. It is a visual representation of your inner experience, and that is always shifting and evolving.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A sand painting is meant to be temporary. It\u2019s meant to be with you through change or healing, and then to return to the earth.<\/p>\n<p>When you feel that you are done with your sand painting &#8211; your heart will know &#8211; open sacred space once again and begin respectfully disassembling your painting. Take a moment with each item and thank it for its role in your journey.<\/p>\n<p>You may choose to return your items to nature, bringing them outside and placing them where your heart feels they belong, or you may even choose to burn any burnable items. Connect within and let your heart guide you.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve removed your items, wipe away your circular canvas. If you\u2019re using sand or salt in a circular dish, you may want to smooth out your canvas and store it somewhere for your next sand painting, or you can return it to the earth.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, when there is no longer any trace of your sand painting having existed, close sacred space once again.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"8\"><b>Do Sand Paintings Actually Create Change?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Ultimately, you are the author of your story. Every move you make in this life is an act of creation. A sand painting alone will not change anything. This is why I believe it\u2019s so important to understand the origins, purpose and sacred practices of sand art. At its heart, it is an act of co-creation with nature. You must be an active participant in any shift, healing or change.<\/p>\n<p>Can\u2019t you just create change without these \u201cwoo woo\u201d practices? You could, but let me ask you this\u2026 Are you? How long have you wanted something to shift and yet, nothing\u2019s happening? What areas of your life consistently feel stuck, unfulfilling or lacking meaning? Are you struggling with anything and unsure what to do next?<\/p>\n<p>If you aren\u2019t experiencing any of this, that\u2019s great! If you are, you are not alone, <i>and<\/i> you have the power to create something different for yourself by <i>doing<\/i> something different.<\/p>\n<p>Let me share one of my sand painting experiences with you: There is an element of my coaching business and personal growth journey that I have been working on for some time. There was just one final &#8211; crucial &#8211; piece that I needed in order to bring this element forward. This winter, I created this sand painting in the snow:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4563 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/snow-painting.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/snow-painting.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/snow-painting-296x300.jpg 296w, https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/snow-painting-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/snow-painting-768x779.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/snow-painting-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/snow-painting-695x705.jpg 695w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the items in my painting represented this element I\u2019d been working on. I created the painting outside with the intention of leaving it for a few days. And then we had wind. So much wind. Strong, howling, icy wind. I was sure my painting would be in shambles. And yet, it was practically unaffected! The only noticeable shift was in that one particular item, which had moved up ever so slightly. What could it mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, that very same week, I received not one, but two inquiries about this final, crucial piece! After that, all the pieces began tumbling into place and now everything is moving forward smoothly (exciting details to come soon!).<\/p>\n<p>Did my sand\/snow painting play a role? I absolutely believe it did, <i>in partnership<\/i> with my hard work, deep intention, and conscious self-leadership.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that the Universe helped move things forward for me. Not everyone shares that belief, and that\u2019s ok. Even if you don\u2019t believe in a higher force or power, or anything like that, embracing practices outside your circle of familiarity has so much power to shift things in your life by altering your perspective and widening your experience of the world around you.<\/p>\n<p>Are you curious about sand painting or other <a href=\"https:\/\/ceoofyour.life\/energy-medicine\/\">energy medicine<\/a> practices?
