Welcome to Art to Heart Counseling

Welcome to my web site and virtual sanctuary, Art to Heart Counseling. As the 13th century Sufi poet Hafiz said:

The small man builds cages
for everyone he knows.
While the sage
who has to bend her head when the moon is low,
Keeps dropping keys
all night long
For the beautiful, rowdy prisoners.

We are often constricted by old beliefs and feelings that keep our minds small and limited. It is only through wisdom and the experience of grace that we can flow beyond our imposed restrictions and experience a boundless relationship with self and others.

To retrieve that wisdom requires a journey – a spiral journey that begins with an awareness of who we are right now and an acknowledgment of both the blessings we already know about and the burdens that teach us. By expanding our resources we can venture into the unknown and dark places, emptying ourselves of limiting conceived notions, retrieve the jewels buried deep within the mystery, and join the creative life force to transform our lives and those around us with a deeper sense of connection, compassion and joy.

I hope that as you check out the pages of my website that you will sense into yourself, your body, your feelings and the definitions you hold about yourself, and allow a longing to surface, one that will move you, no matter where you are in your journey. Let that longing be your guide as you wander into the Spiral of Healing.

Blessings,
Meagan Pugh
