The
Picture of Health
Healing
Your Life with Art
by Lucia Capacchione Ph.D, A.T.R.,
R.E.A.T.
Fully Illustrated with Nearly 100 Pictures
This book is about healing with art. It offers you a new
way to look at yourself and to create a healthy life. Through
scribbling, drawing, and collage, you will learn to "think and
feel" on paper.
You will be shown how to decode the messages contained
in your body and feelings, and translate your insights through the
written word. You will also learn to reshape your life from the inside
out through "visual affirmations" - pictures and words
of how you want to experience your life.
No special talent or training is required to do these
activities. All you need is the willingness to express your own truth,
and the desire to love and heal yourself.
When our vitality is blocked we are in need of healing. These blocks
often manifest themselves as physical pain and low energy. Art is a
universal language. Regardless of sex or ethnic background, people use
similar lines and colors to express the same emotions.
Though
many people seem to have lost their innate ability to make art, the fact
is, we all have the ability to tap our inner resources and make
meaningful pictures that will help heal our bodies, minds and spirits,
and enhance our lives.
The Picture of Health is all about healing with
art, offering you a new way to look at yourself and create a healthy
life.

From the author - "Since the mid-1970's I have shared my discoveries at
seminars for people of all ages and occupations: in schools and
colleges, churches, corporations, counseling centers, and spiritual
retreats." How Do I Select The Right Dr. Capacchione's Book For Me?
"Over the years I have documented my discoveries and
techniques in many books
The feedback has been so inspiring, especially in regard to the healing
power of art, that I was moved to write this book. It includes not only
my personal story and triumph over difficult odds and a life-threatening
condition, but the impressive success stories of others."
"I became an art therapist in 1975 after healing an
"incurable" disease primarily through spontaneous drawing and
writing. At the time of my illness, I was a professional artist and
teacher. I had never heard of art therapy, and there were no popular
books on the subject. My spontaneous self-exploration through art was
undoubtedly guided by a higher healing power within, taking me step by
step back home to my Inner Self.
"When you read my story you will see how the Inner Artist has
played the role of healer throughout my life. Through the writing and
drawing exercises, affirmations, visualizations, meditations, and
inspirational stories, I hope you will find the healing power of your
own Inner Artist. I have found that tremendous love - for yourself
and for others - becomes the overflowing pot of gold at the end of the
rainbow. it comes with the joy of finding and expressing your own
truth."
