In 2007 and 2008, I started working with Ken Yamaguchi-Clark, a dynamic, gifted, soulful, and intuitive healer and bodyworker (known as “Dharma Farma”). Ken’s bodywork helped me identify and connect with my eight archetypes. Our work also helped me cultivate a deep relationship with each archetype, including my Warrior Woman archetype who is named Sapphire.
In 2008, my photographer Leigh Mosley and I worked together on a photoshoot of my archetypes for my mindful creative memoir, That Which Awakens Me: A Creative Woman’s Poetical Memoir of Self-Discovery.
Today, my Warrior Woman Sapphire called on me to create two digital collages to honor her presence and power in my life. I used my painting entitled “One Drop of Black Blood #2” as the background for both collages. I added two copies of photos of my Warrior Woman Sapphire on each collage.
“Warrior Woman #1” and “Warrior Woman #2” are the titles of the collages.
The red and black colors in the collage represent my root chakra energy that focuses on security, protection, and grounding. The orange color represents my sacral chakra energy that focuses on healing, joy, sensuality, and creativity. The yellow color represents my solar plexus energy that focuses on inner power, self-determination, and persistence.
