WOMB TWIN DAY GREETINGS from Althea

Greetings to all womb twin survivors around the world on Womb Twin day. I hope that this day can be special for you, whatever stage you are at, along the healing path.

If you are just awakening to the possibility that you, or someone dear to you, is a womb twin survivor, then I wish you well on the journey you have just begun. Once you have awakened to the idea, it will not leave you alone until you have processed it completely. Your first step on the healing path has already been taken.

If you have just set out on the healing path - and maybe have my ebook as a guide - than I hope you will explore the links on the web site so you can know as much as possible about what can happen when one twin dies. There are dozens of possible scenarios and only one applies to you, so keep on learning more and more. Try some of these articles, as a start.

If you have been on the healing path for a while but are losing impetus, remember that you may be resisting healing. Here is a little movie to spur you on.

If you are getting to the end of your healing path and its time to face the fact of your twins death by a funeral ritual or a ritual of remembrance, today may be a good day to do it. Chose earth, fire, air or water as your element, and conduct a burial, a burning, or a release into the air or onto water. I have been an assistant at many rituals of this kind and mixed with the sadness is a lightness and joy - if that is your choice, do let us know how you got on. There are poems on the website that express this paradoxical feeling very well.

Lastly, if you have conducted your ritual and have said goodbye to your twin, (perhaps more than one if you are the survivor of a multiple conception) it may be good to create a memorial. We have our new memorial site and we welcome new memorials, so why not take a look? Details here.

I will be thinking of you today.  Please let us know what you did and I will put it on my blog.

I am always here, I answer emails as quickly as I can. You can find articles, stories, movies and poetry on my Womb Twin Survivors web site.

The New Year 2011 will bring the publication of my new book, "Womb Twin Survivors ; the lost twin in the Dream of the Womb. " Details here.

I am very excited that this is almost finished, after many years of researching it and nearly two years of writing it. I hope it will help many of you to heal this overlooked and profound primal wound, which we womb twin survivors all share, and which can be healed.

With best wishes for a peaceful and healing experience on Womb Twin Day.

Approaching Womb Twin Day....

Hi,
December the 21st can be a big day for some of us. Acknowledging that I wanted to hold up a candle of hope: you can heal. You can heal. Yes, you really can heal. (People have already walked the path to complete healing from the loss of a wombtwin/s & you can, too.) Please also realise that you do not have to heal: it is your life & your choice. Whatever you're feeling & wherever you are, warm wishes to you on Womb Twin Day.

Frida Kahlo

She was a wonderful Mexican artist who painted many self-portraits, she was obcessed by her immage. Frida Kahlo's Foundation site writes in her biography: Of her 143 paintings, 55 are self-portraits which often incorporate symbolic portrayals of physical and psychological wounds.
She insisted, "I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality".
I bet she did!
Look here a slideshow of her paintings. Here is one where she even painted two Fridas...

This is my homage to her, and to you all.
