Free Art Friday: Art Heals

Art is a Healer by Stephanie Galloway

Art HealsIt is important for the well-being of society to have positive outlets of expression. Art gives people a way to process their emotions and experiences and share them with others in a manner that makes them feel like they are part of that society.

When people make and share art in a public space they are having the opportunity to be contributing members of the town they live in.  When a person feels like they get to actively participate in their community through art it breaks through feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Sharing art through Free Art Friday can be a healthy outlet for sharing your art and being an active member of your community whose voice is heard with vivid colors! Find some more of my Free Art Friday Albuquerque articles here. Thank you for supporting local arts!

Pan’s Labyrinth: Astar’s Maze III

The Emotional Aspect of Mental Health by Pan Bourcier Hidalgo

Part 3 in the Mental Health 4 part series: Astar’s Maze

The emotional aspect of mental health has to be the most challenging. It is intertwined with all of the other aspects of the body, as some of you have noticed. It can be overwhelming at times to experience certain emotions- especially fear and rage. When emotions are ignored they bubble up at the most inconvenient times. They are energy and when stored in the body can cause physical illnesses but also extreme disharmony with the self. Disharmonies are usually created in childhood. It is in childhood that we are given our work that can last a lifetime.

There are many meditation practices I have found that have helped to harmonize the entirety of the emotional spectrum. One that is very effective is when you are experiencing an intense emotion, whether positive or negative, you simply say to yourself “I love and accept this feeling and I love and accept myself.” It helps create synthesis within the electromagnetic field. This essentially creates a more vibrant experience where all emotions can be experienced and appreciated. I would rather appreciate myself and be in harmony than to ignore any aspect of the self. We are holistic beings and deserve to have a full experience.
