A snarling bear may represent fear for one person and personal power for another. A mountain may bring feelings of accomplishment thinking of having made your way to the summit, or it may bring feelings of big obstacles yet to climb. 

Personal iconography is charged with personal power. Symbols and imagery hold power because we believe in their power and the meaning we have assigned them. 

When creating powerful personal imagery, it’s not about images of what you want to have, or images someone tells you are powerful. It’s about using images and symbols that bring forth feelings and emotions in you. This is an invitation to trust your higher self and connect with your inner creative flow.
