Healing Art as a Way to Wellness
by Joseph V Cassarino
Art – A Wonderful Holistic Healing Modality
The earliest prehistoric art discovered dates back to the Lower Paleolithic era, between roughly 300,000 and 1 million BC. After the Stone Age, additional art emerged from Ethiopia, Tanzania, China, Europe then India and became embedded into humanity as an integral part of civilization. Fast forward to modern and current times and we appreciate and enjoy art in many forms. However, many people are not aware that art stimulates the mind and improves physical and mental health. Quite often a viewer resonates with art and its beauty. However, many times the viewer is not aware of the myriad health benefits attributed by viewing the art.
Art Heals the Physical and Mental and Improves the Immune System
Today, holistic practitioners, therapist and integrative medicine participants, incorporate art as a holistic healing modality to heal physical and mental illness without prescribed medicines. Today, the body, mind, soul connection has become better understood due to recent breakthroughs in science and quantum physics. Art therapy is being utilized more and more as professional clinicians and healers understand the added benefits of utilizing art as a healing modality. Trained professionals understand how art stimulates the creative process and permits the recipient or patient to explore feelings and reconcile emotional blockages and or conflicts.
Art Heals the Individual, Others and The Community
Art heals the individual by improving cognitive ability, relieving stress, and increasing self-esteem. It improves creative ability, improves academic performance and increases self-expression and enjoyment. Art also heals others by allowing them to release emotional pain often stored in the body. Additionally, art heals others by touching them emotionally and spiritually and art heals others by providing inspiration, hope and transformation.
Quantum Energy Sustains Everything Infinitely Including Art
Quantum Physics now theorizes, nothing in the universe exists and everything is an illusion. Einstein proved this many years ago, as well. Science and math also prove the most minute particles of an atom are unseen, do not exist, and everything that occurs is a dream we manifest or create based on our belief system. If this is accurate, then the same unseen force that propels everything perceived in the universe, also propels appreciation for art and the joy it provides to those who are drawn to the energy.
Art is energy in the same manner everything else in the universe is energy. It evokes thought, excitement and passion.
Art from a Blank Canvas
Life, much like art, begins with a blank canvas. So, the artist, the individual, creates the result. Spiritual teachings inform us: what we think we become, and what we believe; unfolds in front of us. I have created a beautiful, exciting life filled with joy, success and love. I have always eliminated negative, toxic or conditioned beliefs from my thoughts and I have always projected the life I envision. By tapping into the unseen powers of the universe and by simply believing and trusting, I unfolded a beautiful, work of art that is my life. Certainly, there were times of grief or strife in my life. However, much like an artist, each of us can correct and modify, and we can paint over any rough patch to recreate the beautiful masterpiece we desire.
