THE ART OF
Healing Arts
Healing Arts are creative practices that promote healing, wellness, coping and personal change. Traditional healing arts include music, art, dance/movement, poetry/writing, and drama therapies. These approaches combine artistic expression with psychological awareness and communication, and are led by therapists experienced in both areas.
Laughter and humor are good for our immune system and can shift our perspective and create connections with others.
Meditation and spirituality can bring us into a state of deep relaxation that can help us cope and feel connected with nature or a universal source of being.
Relating to pets can help us feel calmer and foster a feeling of closeness and understanding with another being.
Cooking or gardening can stimulate our senses, relax the mind and bring a deep sense of satisfaction.
Engaging in any creative process is healing. It is a way of knowing yourself better on the deepest levels, connecting with others (human or pet), regulating your responses to stress and communicating your inner experience.
