I liked so much the post from that is called "The Power Of Expression".
Here you can see it whole @trucklife-family/the-power-of-expression
For me, it is about difficult emotions and feelings, and the relationship of society to them.
About how suffering people become uncomfortable for everyone around, and how such experiences are tabooed.
So person moves away from himself, not allowing himself to manifest these feelings outside, and shielding himself from them, deeply burying them inside.
These feelings are rammed into the depths of our subconscious, are displaced, remain unexpressed and unlived. They become like a time bomb.
This post gave me a lot of thoughts on this topic.
And I want to share them with you and continue this topic.
Hard emotional experiences were unacceptable in society for a long time. Such people were and still remain considered less able-bodied, unreliable, difficult to communicate, and unwanted.
It’s believed that such people are worse than the positive and ambitious leaders of society and such people need to be isolated.
I especially drew attention to this issue from the side of the topic of interest to me - art.
How many pieces of art of all time - poetry, songs, painting, have come from suffering and are about suffering.
Chuck Palahniuk wrote: "Art is born in suffering."
Pain is a signal that something is wrong in the body or soul, it is the oldest biological defense mechanism that contributes to the survival.
Suffering is an exclusively human cognitive-emotional experience, reflection on pain. And if pain is a purely physiological phenomenon the same for everyone, then people suffered in different ways. Comprehension of the phenomenon of pain occurs with the help of symbolic forms, and the most visual of them is art.
The language of art is almost the only tool that is suitable for describing the inexpressible and allows you to catch the trail of an elusive sensation.
I think suffering is a very deep inner fundamental feeling. And if you know how to transform it into creative action, live it and express it in art, it will not be so destructive. On the contrary, it will open a reservoir of energy to overcome what has become the cause and source of this suffering.
In addition, creating is the basic quality of our soul, as a particle of the Creator, God. And when a person creates in any form, the level of vibrations of his experiences increases and becomes another quality.
Because of this art therapy is gaining great popularity recent times.
The modern tendency aimed at changing the attitude towards phenomenon of suffering is encouraging. Now is beginning to spread the philosophy of acceptance, returning to yourself, awareness, and listening to your body, your feelings, and their connection with the body - psychosomatics.
A creative person is like a seashell into which sand falls and brings suffering. He lives with a grain of sand transforms it, and as a result, pearls are obtained. I think this process is wonderful!
