Get out of your mind and into feeling...
What do feelings have to do with painting and drawing?
Our society is characterised by the belief that the mind is the most important thing.
Only your feelings can tell you the truth about whether something is right or wrong FOR YOU. For example, whether you are thinking about taking a job that your mind is urging you to do because it promises a lot of money and advancement is something you can really decide best if you can listen to your gut feeling.
Your gut feeling can clearly signal YES or NO - but your mind will always have clever arguments that will overrule your real gut feeling if you don't take your feelings seriously.
It takes courage to trust your feelings and your heart. But trusting your feelings needs to be re-learnt and practised. This is only possible if your head is free of the many concepts and programmes that keep you from feeling.
There are many ways to clear your head regularly. I offer mental relaxation and joy through creative activity.
Painting and the brain - we are what we remember
Our brain is plastic. This means that our memories do not remain stable, they are constantly overwritten by new impressions. By painting with the methods of humanistic art therapy, the brain is influenced by painted images so that it can calm down and develop new, constructive behaviour.
Memories are pictures
Of all our senses that shape our memories, visual imprinting is the strongest.
In painting therapy, a new, touching image is created in a structured way that permanently deactivates the disturbing images in the brain.
The conviction that you cannot paint has been taught to you all your life. As adults, we have to relearn to trust our primal instinct and simply paint, following a spontaneous idea or a concern that is on our mind.
