Spiritual Healing with Art: Paintings & sculptures by Lorena B. Fernandez

http://www.authorhouse.com/BookStore/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=37494 In her moving bilingual art memoir "Spiritual Healing with Art" Fernandez showed how she was able to heal her spirit with art. With over 80 artworks and bilingual text (English/Spanish) the artist's life story, including early emotional traumas and healing, unfolds in a sequence of magnificent paintings, revealing the process by which the artist emerged as an independent, open and free person.
This book is rich with archetypal material--both in images and in words. The author/artist has taken a deep inner journey to find that simply expressing her emotions through art has helped her to heal. The art is filled with shadow and light; the words are profound.
This book is a fascinating testimony about the power of art as a healing resource.

This is one of my most favourite passages of Bethoven's Symphonies.

But I prefer The Berliner Philharmonics under Herbert Von Karajan...nothing beats that!
