ACT/CBT: The Blank Canvas Metaphor

We explore The Blank Canvas, a metaphor for the steady, spacious awareness that holds every thought, feeling, and sensation without becoming them. Just as paint touches a canvas but doesn’t define it, our experiences can move through us without sticking. By returning to this quiet inner space, we rediscover freedom from unhelpful narratives and open the door to intentional choice. We end with one powerful, rhyming affirmation that repeats softly until it fades… so its message lingers in your mind and settles deeply into the subconscious.
