In order to do that, you must \u003cem\u003etrust the process, \u003c\/em\u003e both on the page and in life. After a traumatic experience that shattered her notion of what life was supposed to look like for a mid-thirties woman, Marina Billinghurst turned to the one thing she's always been able to count on: watercolor painting, in all of its imperfections, that's where she practiced letting go. She learned to face her fears. Giving in to the transformative process, it helped her heal. This is when she painted \u003cem\u003eThe 9 Magical Butterflies\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis symbolic representation of change is what Marina wants to share with you. A non-scientific approach to art therapy as a way of exploring emotions, no artistic talent required! It's simply about you, your brush, and what flows through it. Imperfect art is such only if we believe it to be so, and moving past that block can help free you in other aspects of life. It's in the creating; the magic of the paint going from wet to dry, that transformation lies. Allowing that process to happen organically is the key. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was for Marina, and she hopes it can be for you, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Art of Marina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781778140709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.61d","brand":"Marina Billinghurst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42059246010549,"sku":"9781778140709","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_941f6bdb-84c7-4a02-8ca2-76905a47cb86.jpg?v=1650342019","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-nine-magical-butterflies-9781778140709","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
