The interplay between the mind and the body systems is a natural function requiring two way communication at fantastic speed.

As a metaphor we use the heart as the centre of our emotions. The heart cannot speak but we know when things are happening there.

The function of art in coaching is to access the heart, and allow emotions to surface. Using words can require too much from our consciousness, whereas art can allow the heart to pass emotions directly to the arm and onto paper/canvass. The subsequent time of reflection is not so much explanation as exploration with the ‘art’ as a reference point.
