Art for Healing: Painting Your Heart Out is a book about the beginnings of an organization called "Art & Creativity for Healing" which was founded by Laurie Zagon in 2001, and the powerful impact that its programs have had on children and adults suffering from abuse, illness, grief and stress. Art & Creativity for Healing was founded with a vision that the creative process and emotional healing often intersect when words are not adequate, and pain is too deep. The organization's programs are designed to work in conjunction with other therapeutic models including traditional talk therapy augmenting the benefits of these modalities with a unique creative approach. Specifically, the "Art for Healing' methods allow participants to learn a new way of communicating through color that encourages emotional breakthroughs and further enhances the therapy process. Unlike other art programs that employ a loose format of free expression, the "Art for Healing" curriculum contains strictly guided exercises designed to elicit emotional responses.

More than an art or a poetry book, this unique piece combines original paintings and poems in a way that has never before been done. The result: a healing, uplifting and inspiring work that can be read time and time again. Courage comes from the French word for heart -- coeur. To have the courage to live a fearless life, we need to be connected to our hearts. Sadly, many of us have learned to disconnect ourselves from our hearts because of all the heartquakes we've been through: from minor ones, like rejections, worries and disappointments, to major ones, like the end of a relationship or losing a loved one. This book is specifically designed to help us reconnect with ourselves and heal our heartquakes, so we can live a fuller, more creative life and inspire those around us to do the same. Asa Katarina has had shows around the world, in cities like Los Angeles, Stockholm and NYC. This is her first full-length art and poetry collection. This unique piece contains over 100 oustanding original paintings and 50 emotionally charged original poems, each specifically selected to evoke and begin to heal the reader's heartquakes.

This fascinating collection of essays contains a variety of perspectives about the use of expressive arts for facilitating physical and emotional healing. Each author within brings a fresh approach and unique experiences to their writing. Within these pages, you will find many ideas for the use of the arts and can learn how to engage the inner layers of the self that allow natural healing processes of the body and soul to flourish. When we fully engage an art modality, we find ourselves in a place in our consciousness that could be called 'healingspace,' where we feel ourselves whole and re-member ourselves as well. From psychic trauma to physical illness, dis-ease of many kinds may be addressed through the various techniques discussed here. The tools offered by some authors are population specific and age appropriate, while several authors have given us the philosophical underpinnings for it all. While the authors within represent the grassroots voices of this new and rapidly expanding field, several of them have developed their own methods for using the arts, and have thriving practices. Our approach is wholistic. Music, visual arts, movement, dance, and poetry are discussed as separate modalities and in combination with one another in a process or flow. The reader will engage in our experiences with these modalities as they have been lived. The complementary CD that accompanies this book will allows the listener to have a full sound experience of toning. If a rationale is needed for establishing arts programs in medical centers or other health facilities, it can be found here. The book offers tools for self development and for group facilitation. Those wanting to expand their healing practice through the use of the arts will find the book to be a faithful guide. Anyone wishing for a fuller understanding of how the arts may work to facilitate healing will find much food for thought within these pages.
