Language of the Soul
by Sandra Nelson
Have you ever wondered why certain colors, shapes and images make your heart sing while others don't? They are messengers who hope you will listen. They ask you to pay attention to some aspect of your life. If you are you restless, or are searching for something you don't understand, or wanting to know your purpose in life, or what direction to take, SoulCollage® may be for you.
Not a craft project, but rather an experience, SoulCollage® is personal to each individual. As creative beings, we are drawn to those things that speak to us, fill a need, give us joy...feed our souls. That is the language of images, colors, metaphors and archetypes. That is SoulCollage®.
The search for meaning, and answers to questions in life takes us down many paths. Sooner or later, this search moves inward and becomes very personal. The thing many like best about SoulCollage® is its revealing nature. We create the cards from images we are drawn to. Then by consulting the cards, we listen as answers hidden somewhere deep within are made known. Through this process of self-exploration life is transformed as our questions are answered and insights revealed.
SoulCollage® can help to:
* Silence the inner critic as you free the inner artist. 
* Learn to interpret and consult your cards.
* Use your cards to heal aspects of your life.
* Incorporate your cards into your personal spiritual practice.
* Keep a written journal as your personal story unfolds.
* Manifest the life you desire and more.
SoulCollage®helps us become fluent in the language of images, colors, metaphors and archetypes. We learn to pay more attention to life's details: the color and texture of a river rock wet from the morning's dew, the scents and sounds as the earth wakens to a glorious sunrise, the clicking of wings as wild geese take to flight.
I have heard it said that art imitates life. In many ways, SoulCollage® is life. Our decks are visual journals of people, places, events, and feelings in our lives. We make cards to honor people, to mark personal transitions, heal wounds, and receive guidance.
