Pop-Up Fold Out Shrine Project . . . Have fun creating
SoulCollage and creativity can be good medicine.
First, the aesthetic quality of the work produced can lift your mood, boost self-awareness, and improve self-esteem.
Second, research shows that physiological functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration, slow when we're engaged in creative play.
In addition, making art also provides an opportunity for you to improve eye-hand coordination, and stimulate neurological pathways from the brain to the hands.
Because visual imagery uses the language of symbols it can help us express experiences that are not well articulated
In working with imagery you can discover thoughts and feelings that are often hidden from the conscious mind.
Most people are delighted to see how fast their stress dissolves while doing SoulCollage.
Studies have shown that repressing strong feelings can lead to a buildup of stress, and that stress can intensify pain as well as intensify the sensation of pain and other symptoms.
Most people find that a few hours of SoulCollage or a creative project can significantly reduce stress.
Because working with imagery helps people access their unconscious mind and release pent-up emotions, it has been found to be very useful in treating those suffering from stress and stress-related ailments.
People recovering from trauma or serious injury often find SoulCollage particularly beneficial.
And best of all, it's easy. Anyone can do it. And it's green, using recycled magazine images and non-toxic glue.
The Shrine project as well as SoulCollage are Green and Good Medicine!
