This book, along with the Key Collage deck of feeling cards (sold separately), helps you learn how to find the places where you've stored your old emotions and begin actually feeling instead of just acting like you're feeling your emotions. Prompts are included to help you write, collage, draw, color, and paint your way down a path that allows you to open your heart where your deepest emotions are waiting for you.
The emotions in this book are organized in alphabetical order with first the uppercase and then the lower case letter. Although the emotions are arranged alphabetically, that doesn't mean you have to read the book in alphabetical order. You can read the book in any of the following ways or make up your own way:
•Read the emotions in the order that feels right today.
•Open the book to a random page and read that emotion.
•Pause and feel inside your body to find the emotion you're feeling right now and read that emotion.
•Identify the emotion you wish you were feeling more of and read that one.
Then after you read about the emotion, answer the questions both under the collage picture and at the end of the page for that emotion. You can answer the questions in your head, but the impact is even more powerful if you write your answers in this book or your journal.
If you don't like writing or if writing isn't safe for you, find pictures in a magazine or print pictures from the internet that show your answers to these questions. If you like to draw, get out your colored pencils or paints and sketch how you're feeling. If you like making multi-media art, combine your pictures and paintings and drawings and other bits and odds and ends until your page expresses how you feel. There is no wrong way to do this kind of art, so let yourself be free to express your feelings however feels good to you. And no, you don't have to be an artist. This book shows you the way.
