About the Certificate in the ART of Meditation

Creating art is a type of meditation that can have fast and profound healing benefits. Art making is a natural vehicle for meditation, relaxation and self-connection. It increases awareness and emphasises acceptance of feelings and thoughts, without judgment. It is a catalyst for relaxation of the body and the mind. Art therapy is useful where talk therapy is ineffective because the client cannot express their issues in words. It assists clients to explore, express and accept their thoughts and feelings in a peaceful and self-empowering way.

The benefits of art therapy include:

• Developing self-awareness through art
• Creating mindfulness skills
• Improves mental health and wellbeing
• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Stimulates mental function in older adults with dementia
