MINDFULNESS, COMPASSION & THE ARTS
IN THERAPY
Art, Dance, Music, Photography, Drama, Poetry, Story…and Yoga
Why Mindfulness?
Improved emotional regulation, enhanced empathic attunement, and heightened compassion for self and others—all associated with mindfulness practice—offer invaluable resources for clients and therapists alike. And just as mindfulness, meditation, and yoga provide mind/body benefits, the expressive arts therapies also offer creative paths to that focused state of in-the-moment awareness that promotes embodied inner calm and clarity.
