What does art therapy do to our bodies?
It strengthens the connection between body and mind.
Art therapy is an excellent means of strengthening the body, soul, and spirit.
​
Engaging with shapes, colors, artistic and natural materials through the hands connects us with a wisdom passed down through generations, allowing us to rediscover a valuable connection with ourselves and with ancestral wisdom, with the essential simplicity of creation.
​
This process promotes a positive mental attitude, nurturing the understanding and recognition of our emotions, values, and needs. Consequently, it helps us make conscious decisions, triggering a virtuous circle of personal well-being that positively impacts those around us.
Heart, brain, intestine, along with all organs
It is scientifically proven that the brain processes 60% of information through images, processing them along with emotions and memories. Although we perceive the world through hearing, taste, smell, and touch, most information is processed visually.
​
Our body and cells function according to the rules of chemistry, physics, and biology, forming an integrated system. Vital organs such as the heart, brain, intestines, liver, and kidneys are interconnected and communicate via hormones and the nervous system. The images we perceive influence the functioning of the organs, sending healthy or less healthy information.
​
It is also scientifically proven that family stories and traumas are passed down to future generations in the form of genetic information, influencing world perception and potentially having a negative impact on children's lives. Art therapy helps find new awareness by addressing family patterns and inherited traumas with recognized methods.
​
Through creative work with hands and body, we can nourish the brain, organs, and nervous system with new and calming images. Recurrent images and painful sensations can be interrupted, energy recharged, and healing processes activated.
The marvel of the brain
The human brain is a marvel!
​
Even into old age, it remains plastic, meaning that the brain is able to form new neural connections even in advanced age.
​
Through art therapeutic work and artistic play, the brain remains active, agile, and flexible.
