Art therapy is a way for people to express their inner emotions through an artistic medium. The creativity involved in art therapy can serve as a medium to improve self-esteem and reduce stress. It is defined as an “expressive therapy that uses the creative process of making art to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being.”
It’s nearly impossible to find a licensed art therapist. How do I know? I looked. And looked. And I met one at a book signing a few months back. Turns out she’s one of 5000 (!) in the USA. Or, that’s what she told me and I’m apt to believe her!
Why did she choose to do it?
It’s immensely powerful. Art taps into memories and emotions in ways nothing else this simple seeming can do. It’s breath and beauty.
And it works.
Art is a powerful force of change. I hope that this catches on in huge waves… it’s been a huge force for change in my own life and I see it change lives daily!
Use art in simple ways to symbolically- and actually- let things go that are weighing you down!
Here are some great ways to use art to detox your spirit and mind:
Always, you can use art to turn poison in your life into medicine.
Even just a simple journal can set you free. It’s magic-making and mind-soothing, freeing and exhilarating!
P.S.: If you want to really immerse yourself in the light of joy so much more, my favorite Feng Shui and cutting-edge energy-shifting tools that I use almost every day are HERE for you in the Joy Immersion: 30 Day Negativity Detox!
