Excerpt From Sacred Skin Sacred Acts Respect for the act of creation (the process) is respect for the sacred nature of creativity. Attentive listening to self and client during the process is a sacred act, indeed attentive listening (witnessing) is possibly the most important gift one person can give to another. Attentive listening to words, subtle energies and body language leads to profound acts of intention - the Sacred act of two people co-creating a personal work of art - an experience carried forward by both and a work of art created in mutual respect which will be carried forward by the client on their skin. The whole experience and process is one of two people exploring the sacred act of creation, having established a sacred space (community of two) and working on a living canvas- the Sacred Skin.
