Art therapy and self love !

Iam 27 years old, I decided to write and to share my own ideas about art therapy ! well for sure Iam missing a lot of knowledge about this field which is so  wide and so rich ! but as an artist starting my carreer, holding in my heart a lot of dreams to share and to help people especially  those who are far from any psychological and emotional support and empowerment !

We all know that  art and healing are walking together on the same path, it is even considered  stronger than the medcinie cure  which is  not permant ,  whereas  healing with art is considered a lasting  and continous cure that  is able to  touch the spiritual guidance and  souls of people  and  arguably it can  help  to transform  the dperessed souls and dispaired visionaries into shining and  healed ones, reviving the old energies and the hidden passions and let them shape and take different forms .

Art brings the self love, satisfaction and the self empowerment, how ? it is a path to our  deep spiritual  oceans .  In this  world, we all have  different  connections and vibrations that can help us to find out who we are and what we want ! art is one of them ! the necessity of  humain being to feel  his creativity and his passionate capacity  in  a given field is so important and great ! art may come to sharpen  this  need, so it helps to release  the gifted passion that you have  and translate it into  an artsitic work ! it is not necessary to  be so  talented  in any artistic activity ! it is enough that you have the passion and  the desire to create and to revive ! The power of art as a healing power is so intense and reasuring , it is generating the self-empowerment and the self repsect and love.

. “ We believe that making art frees the body's healing mechanisms to heal. We believe it unites body, mind, and spirit. In art and healing, no interpretation or therapy is necessary. The creative process is the healer. Here, art is transformational in itself.”  (http://www.artashealing.org/)

What it is meant above that every one of us  can be his / her own self healer becasue he/ she  can transform the negative energy that he / she holds into positive and vital  one . I talk from a personal point of view becasue I personally experimented a total tranformation in my thoughts, beliefs and habits since practising painting.  The changes  occuring during  my self transformation process, have been great and really  unlimited to count , it is like a prcoess of total rebirth and radical  metamorphosis.

It is important to point out that we have all what I call them a burned  talents and gifts, yes, many of us are not really brillant at expressing  their gifts and they feel that they don’t have anything in return to give, but they do forget  to ask themselves what makes them  happy and what  makes them feel  fullfilled ! Yet,  it is not improtant that they should be practising any art ! what is important is to  join the cycle of any artistic activities. Let your self be involved  in the passion and in the fiery creativity, any one with hesitant and passive soul will for sure reach up the phase of  rebirth and a calling to give as much as he/ she can . In art ,it resides an infinite love to translate the self thoughts and  another love to prove that you are able to create and to add your own touch ! From here the magic seeds of art have been born.

At any  stage of the practice , the process of   self healing  will lead you to undrestand what is  considered  enjoyable to  you , then it will allow and facilitate what kind of art you choose to practise and how you take it   as a process of healing . According to this, and with time , the love of practising any artistic activity will overcome the love to send negative energy and vibrations to the world. The power and the impact of being involved in any artistic event also, can bring to people self reliance and self enchanting to the soul. Like attending conferences of poetry , art shows, concerts, etc . All of such efforts made by us can replace our needs to visit a psychologist ! you can be your own healer and psychologist. The creative process of art healing ‘s  force is so deep and touchable ! therapists  may succeed to  reach you, but for sure no one can help to reach your depths much  better than you ! Becasue  the  process  of expressing by art will let you travel within the misteries of yourself and discover what entertains you  and what leads you to self –release of the negative energies ! for exmaple in my case, painting and playing with colours has allowed me to let go of negative feedbacks I have had , recharging my self with new and strong passion to go ahead ! for sure we can’t cut completely with the past, but we can heal the past by accepting it peacefully inside us !
 That s why, it is so hard to focus on a specific healing ‘s side of  art force because it is infinite and unlimited  ! here is my only advice for you, follow your bliss as Joseph Cambel asks us to do, besides your passions in art and the light  that its healing power brings.

Love ...

It is hard to define what makes you happy in this world, that because many things can bring the joy to us . However we all confirm that love is one of  the most beautiful feelings / things that can revive us and makes us feel  like newly born !  That s why I find anyone who is lucky to find  such worthy feeling, he / she should never give up in that, as the love is  so worthy that we  pay everything  to  have it,  not  the opposite by  giving up in it to have other things !!
We must know that the material target  will be reached sooner or later, but love once is gone, we may not find it agian. Yes, love has many shapes. Yes, we should never give up in love. Yes,  love is beautiful, but we have to realize that it is even sweeter and more beautiful  with certain and special  people ...That s why when we meet it at that moment, we should never give up in it ...

I am in love with love and with its different shapes ... 

                                                                                  

                                                                                  

Just a reminder

So learn positivity from your  hard times,  patience from your  fears, Gratitude from people around you, Happiness from who you are , how to  listen  from your pains and how to love from the beautiful God who is silent but never sleeps and loving  us always, although  our faith seems to be gone sometimes…

Some steps of self healing process :

•   Think positively about what happened, look at your storm from the bright side .

•   Revive the  hidden energy and  believe that really something wonderful is waiting to happen  and  whatever happened to you, believe that the best is yet to come .

•  Instead of the negative thoughts, try to replace them with funny thoughts and enjoy your time through  listening   to music, share most of your time with  friends, offer a service to some one in need , and try to entertain by surrounding yourself with  positive and  funny people that bring the joy to you.

•  Think that nothing will last at the end, your wounds will be healed, so it is only a matter of time .

•  Love yourself enough to let go of the old memories that sadden you .

•  Imagine the beautiful and the happy things and your dreams . 

•  Think of yourself  in advance that at a given moment , your sorrow will leave you.

•  Believe that whatever is happeing to you right now, in the end, it will find a solution and really it will be fine.
