Health Benefits of Art Therapy via Root Cause Healing
Art therapy is a powerful form of expressive therapy & an embodied experience that provides a holistic, gentle approach toward root cause healing in health & wellness. It has a vast array of physiological benefits for an individual's personal wellbeing within the artful process & its effect on the nervous system. While improving physical, mental, & spiritual wellbeing, it is a pure & visionary process that provides opportunity to express emotions, feelings, and thoughts without the need for traditional verbal communication.
Holistically, art therapy aids in the healing process in a non-invasive, gentle way, while unveiling a deeper meaning of life, reducing stress, improving mood, increasing mental clarity, helping reduce inflammation in the body, & improving self-awareness, resilience, & confidence. It allows individuals to gain insight into themselves, to heal from past traumas, to improve relationships, and to develop new coping skills. It’s a way to engage in deeper mindfulness & provides a creative outlet to reset & refocus.
Physiologically, art therapy has been shown to be beneficial to the vagus nerve, a major nerve in the body that is responsible for regulating the parasympathetic nervous system. Through art therapy, individuals can engage in activities that stimulate the vagus nerve, such as deep breathing and mindfulness activities, which can help reduce stress and improve overall well being. The physicality of the art materials & active movement processes enables the individual to express how they are feeling with sensory motor skills to strengthen the nervous system responses, without the need for words. Neuroarts is the transdisciplinary study of how the arts and aesthetic experiences measurably change the body, brain, & behavior & how this knowledge is transformed into advancing health & wellness of an individual. Art therapy approaches the artistic process & its effect on the nervous system. Additionally, art therapy can assist in personal & relationship awareness, deeper emotions & conflicts residing in a person’s psyche.
