The Expressive Arts involves letting go into a creative process . We use our thoughts and feelings around our issue or concern to express itself through art.
We can draw, paint, make a collage or sculpt with clay!
We can sing, tone, and maybe groan and/or allow ourselves to express through movement and dance. We can write a story or a poem.
Engaging in a creative process (without thinking) is liberating. It sheds light on our issues in a way that helps us to feel safe and trust ourselves. We often have the experience of seeing & feeling things in a new way!
One such way is through Guided Imagery & Music (GIM) involves seeing and feeling imagery as we listen to music.
Using the MARI cards helps us to discover things about ourselves by selecting image cards and color cards.
