Using art to heal begins with the desire to manifest being well. Before we can manifest wellness we must be aware that the way we feel and think impacts our ability to be well. How we think also affects how we feel. What comes first the chicken or the egg? Rather than debate this theory I would like to just simplify it by saying if you look at something that makes you feel better you will automatically think better thoughts! What we think about creates our experience. Most importantly if what we think and feel is positive they can be a recipe for miraculous change. What we feel affects our attitude and the emotion around what we are feeling affects how we think. When these two forces are combined they create the "Field of Consciousness" around our reality. The longer we think about something with an intense emotion attached to it the more likely what we're thinking will become part of our reality. The feelings connected to our thoughts are the keys to attracting what we desire. When I say feeling I'm referring to the "heart." If we are struggling with an illness thinking good thoughts can be easier said than done. Creating art with the intention of providing this vehicle for change can be an easy option when used properly in our hospitals, doctor’s offices and more importantly in our daily environment. Wherever you spend the most time this is where the art should be placed.
Ellen Benfatti’s specialty is creating a picture which encourages a “new” feeling and emotional set point. When this picture is used during a visual meditation along with deep breathing clients have reported a significant increase in positive emotions and a more positive mental out look on life.
Scientists have discovered that just like prayer and meditation art has the ability to affect the body in the same way. It has been proven that when we are inspired by art our brain produces the same chemicals as a Monk or Priest who has been in prayer and meditation. These chemicals help our minds to relax and experience transcendence. The result is positive emotions that are essential for healing the body. This new emotional set point is more likely to assist the body in responding positively to the traditional medicine, care, or treatments being received. These positive feelings encourage the patient’s body, mind and spirit to work together to create wellbeing. Many times the results of incorporating Ellie's art into the surrounding environment may improve blood pressure; recovery times, as well as reduce the anxiety level in the patient and their family.
Ellie’s desire is that her art will bring healing to individuals in their homes as well as in Dr.'s offices, clinics, wellness centers, recovery homes, schools, and public buildings.
She has most recently donated her art to The Boys and Girls Club of America, Girls Inc, and Mountain Shadows Community Homes, and Casa de Emparo. Her next exhibition will be hosted by the Jazzercise corporate offices in Carlsbad California. July 1st- Dec. 2010. Contact Ellie via email to learn more eangel11@gmail.com
