Art and Crafts, Beading, Cross Stitch and Knitting

Is an effective way of encouraging people to express their innermost thoughts and feelings without the need for words. This can be particularly effective when people are unable to talk or verbalise how they are feeling due to past hurts or painful experiences. By working with colourful crafts under the careful supervision of a colour professional, putting colour to paper by using pastels, pencils and paints is also extremely therapeutic and allows freedom of expression and an opening of the sub-conscious mind. It is the process of putting colour to paper that is important not the final outcome, that is why supervised art can be used and enjoyed by anyone of any age.

A colour practitioner may ask their clients to paint a particular scene incorporating various images that symbolise different aspects i.e two trees may symbolise the client and the clients significant other or a bird may symbolise the clients sense of freedom. The practitioner can then interpret the painting by looking at the colours chosen and their associations (see Colour Attributes for further info on colour meanings or visit our online shop to purchase one of our booklets on colour and its meanings;

The colouring of mandalas act as a key to unlocking the sub-conscious and can release deep-seated emotional issues and problems as Carl Jung found.
