What are our L.O.V.E. members saying in our Facebook group?
Thanks for accepting me into the group. I'm currently on a (staycation) burnout break from my job as a mental health professional, and happened to find this art form last night. Here is my first journal entry. I'm amazed at the power of journaling before and after my creation and the subconscious release of thoughts during the layers of ink. L.M.
Betsy G. I find myself totally immersed...it allows my stressors to flow out of me. It provides great focal acuity when I am feeling scattered.
Dorothy B. Neuro art has opened up to me a form of artistic expression I never knew I had. I started drawing during the pandemic and have tried different things, like still life, animals, etc and it was ok but I didn't find a niche until now. This set form is so unique, no drawing is ever the same. It also helped me during 16 months of someone's cancer journey, who we lost early this year, who I cared for very much. I'm so thankful to have stumbled on to this method and to this Facebook group. 😉
Nita M. Neuro art is the most relaxing thing I've ever done. I have noticed an improvement in my recall of memories, my inner conversations are more positive but the biggest change has been in my understanding of music theory. All of these are small changes that I've noticed over the last six weeks. I am hooked!
Vicki K. First, thank you for accepting me into this group . I am dealing with some past issues (at 68, I have plenty) and I stumbled across this as a way to heal them. I've done a few paintings, labeling the back with the issue or feeling. It is very helpful to have a visual of sadness, anxiety as well as love. I am sleeping better and have more creative ideas, blockages are being removed! This is truly art therapeutic and fun!
Lena B. Since I just started I will say this. My very first day doing it, I didn't snack on one thing after dinner. I was so engrossed in my thoughts and processes it was time for bed.
Marie S. Denise, I only learned about neuroart recently, but it happened to be during an extremely stressful time. It was an activity I could do on one of the most anxious days of my life when a doctor suggested my son might have a serious genetic disorder affecting his heart and that one or more of my other kids could have it too. I couldn't concentrate on anything else that day, and the neuroart helped me to not freak out completely. (My son has been given a clean bill of health in the meantime). Also, I have been grappling with marital issues, health problems, and unhappiness about my work situation. I specifically explored these issues and felt like the neuroart helped me let go of a fair bit of resentment and gave me hope that things might improve. I guess the best way to describe it is to say it gave me perspective.
