I do not own the rights to this neat art process, all credit goes to Seena B. Frost, the founder and maker of SoulCollage(R). I have simply written this piece of writing in honor of her and her wonderful, awesome work that is SoulCollage(R) and the joy and comfort it brings to me.

What is SoulCollage(R)?

It is a simple, intuitive practice that combines the art of collage with a spiritual focus and an exploratory look into one's self through the making of SoulCollage(R) cards. Each card is a personal reflection of the person who made it, therefore making each and every card special and unique to that particular person only. You make the cards, then you can do intuitive readings with them based on your own inner wisdom and knowledge.

There are a variety of ways one can utilize their deck of cards. One can do writing exercises with a card or set of cards from their deck, to glean more information about a certain card's meaning or just write a story or poem about it. Basically the exercise consists of the technique of speaking from the images on the card with the “I am one who” exercise. For example, if the main image on a card depicts a yellow flower rising towards the light of the sun, you could say “I am one who basks in hope and the joyous things in life. I am one who has a colorful personality and optimistic attitude.” Or something like that. Keep in mind the images are supposed to describe not only themselves but a certain part of the person who collects the images and glues them down onto the card. Each card represents a person's inner and outer life, making the cards unique to themselves only.

There are four main suits in the deck and are as follows:

Committee: Inner aspects or parts of one's self and personality.
Community: People and pets who are significant to one's self; your support system.
Companion: Your animal chakra totems; animal energies that correspond to a given chakra center.
Council: One's spiritual guides, archetypes and universal concepts that have meaning and relevancy to you.

There are also three Transpersonal cards and are called: Source, Witness and SoulEssence.

You can devise your own additional suits as well that one deems appropriate. Above all, SoulCollage(R) is designed to work for anyone regardless of background, faith or social upbringing. If something doesn't work for you, then change it so it does. The process is highly customizable and one should feel comfortable with it. And most of all, it is pure fun!!

My own experiences with SoulCollage(R) is that it is highly enjoyable and allows me to unleash my creative self while at the same time getting to know myself better and to work on certain issues in my life that I may struggle with. I recently discovered this awesome collage process just at the beginning of this year, 2011. It has made me appreciate collage way more than before, given me insight and surprises at every turn, and to remind myself that I am just as important as anybody else in the world. Most of all, I love and appreciate the richness SoulCollage(R) gives to my life and makes me all the more inspired and willing to create and to explore various aspects of my being as well as my life in general. Since I have just started, I have not had the chance to make a whole lot of cards but have only finished about a dozen cards so far. SoulCollage(R) is forever an ongoing process, is ever changing and evolving just like life itself!

On an end note, these cards are for one's own personal use and are not to be traded or sold in any way. Thanks go once more to Seena for her wonderful work!
