We can never completely control our emotions; but unless we recognise and express them, they can end up controlling us.
'Living With Feeling' is a wonderful resource for all of us to get in touch with our stronger, sometimes upsetting, emotions in the safe and comfortable environment of our own homes. Only by letting our emotions come forth and by understanding them can we further the process of self-acceptance and healing. In order for us to do this, Lucia Capacchione introduces methods she has developed in workshops and with private clients for achieving an emotional equilibrium through artistic expression.
Lucia lays out a simple yet effective plan for reaching inside ourselves and pulling out our deepest feelings through:
- Painting
- Dancing
- Drumming
- Moulding clay
- Journal writing
- Mask-making and collage-making
These individual forms of self-expression, performed without the threat of criticism, enable us to see our emotions more objectively - and thus bring joy, happiness, and confidence into our lives.
