At the beginning of this week I have promised you arty exercise which will help you to make greater sense about your role in the world.
So here it is…
Category: Therapeutic Tools
Here I am sharing tools used in therapy by me or other professionals available as an inspiration for other therapists or for your own self-awerness journey.
Simply look within
As I mentioned last time I am bringing you another tool which can create more space for your creativity and help with ´getting to know yourself better´. This tool was created by my friend Bastian (@bearonawalk) who happens to be a great coach as well.
Nowadays there is just so much staff about self-growth and self-awareness that one doesn´t even know where to start. The only good start is from ourselves. It is simple all you need to do is become aware of yourself.
Who are you really?
Draw with eyes closed
Have you ever tried to draw with your eyes closed? Hands just dancing on the paper, picking up randomly different colours, not knowing what is going to appear on the paper.
We use our analytical mind almost every minute since morning until we are going to sleep.
´The coat she´s wearing looks nice´… ´Should I make this or that recipe?´… ´These colours together make a nice match´
Mind is talking all the time about almost everything because we can see what we are doing, select and put objects in front of our eyes into categories.
What if we try to close our eyes and just let go?
Mindful Tree painting – can reveal who you are
Tree is very old symbol often chosen by artists who incorporate it in many different ideas, emotions or themes. We can find trees across the cultures symbolising strength, family, bridge in between physical and spiritual. Famous Tree of Life is well known symbol across the world. Carl Gustav Jung brings the symbolism of the tree closer trough psychological understanding. According to him tree is an image of spiritual development. As every tree is different so is every each of us. Unique. Painting tree is not only relaxing experience or artistic practise but can as well tell you something more about yourself.
When we painted actual tree in the park it became very relaxing and insightful experience. Everyone would paint their tree differently even though we might look on the very same one. Why is that?
You can look at art from very different perspective as soon we use our imagination and we are led by our subconscious. It becomes something mysterious and interesting because it becomes your very own deep expression. It becomes something personal in the most positive way. I offer you to experience it for yourself.
Today I will give you little insight to tree symbolism.
Hands to your past and future.
Today I would like to show you very simple and easy artistic and therapeutic technique what might give you better perspective what is happening in your life and where you put your focus and values into.
It can bring clarity into your life.
