Did you know that Arts and Crafts invoke theta brainwaves which are present during deep relaxation, dreaming, meditation and hypnosis? They are activated when you become entirely engrossed, lost and ‘in the zone’. Theta brainwaves can be a source of creativity, intuition and enhanced concentration. When theta brainwaves are induced by activities such as arts and crafts, they lower stress and anxiety levels, as well as aid healing and growth.
Theta is a crucial brainwave, not only because it facilitates the ideal physiological state for healing but it also enables us to access the power and wisdom of our unconscious mind, that can be inaccessible in more alert states.
