Art as Healing

by Katherine Skaggs

Art as Healing is my place to tell you a little story about how I have discovered that the process of doing art and the process of viewing positive, healing imagery has the power to heal the mind, body and soul. I have been an artist since I was a child and have studied energy healing and metaphysics for 25 or so years now. I always thought that the artist in me would merge with the healer and metaphysician, but didn’t begin to fully experience of understand that consciously until the past few years when I began to work with an art therapist when dealing with some core issues that had been asked to be healed.
