The Soul’s Palette: Drawing on Art’s Transformative Powers for Health and Well-being

Making art, according to Cathy Malchiodi, may be as important to your physical and spiritual health as balanced nutrition, regular exercise, or meditation. Expressing yourself creatively–through drawing, painting, sculpture, photography–allows you to tap into a source of inner wisdom that provides guidance, soothes emotional pain, and revitalizes your being.
