Research Connects Creativity with Healing and Awareness

“Children are still capable of living in a world of wonder. To reconnect to wonder is to awaken the child inside, and to do that is to tap into all kinds of Creative Spirits and muses. In the tradition of Taoism, the symbol for “play” combines two symbols: one standing for “jade” and one for origin or source. Play is a kind of meditation, for it takes us back to the Source of all things, including joy and beauty. We ought to follow this path regularly, and the more self-occupied and self-conscious and conceited a culture is (the more adultist, therefore), the more it needs to revivify itself through play.”

“Drawing is a novel and potentially valuable technique for exploring patients’ perceptions and experiences about their illness and treatment. Advancing the methodology and applicability of drawings in this area will assist in the future development of this technique, with benefits for the patient, researcher and health care professional alike.  

Thirty-two studies were identified and these reflected diversities in both health conditions and methods of data collection and analysis. Participants’ drawings revealed new, insightful knowledge about patients’ perceptions, beliefs and experiences of their condition and were associated with clinical and psychological markers of health. Drawing was a powerful adjunct to traditional data collection approaches, and demonstrated potential benefits for participants. This review provides detailed insights and guidance on the use of drawings in research and clinical practice.”
