faq 9 - what are the benefits of meditating in this fashion, and is there any downside to it? People meditating upon these paintings, with the intent of deepening their self-knowledge, report things like an increased ability to recall events from their childhood, clearer thinking, a heightened awareness of their emotions, eventually leading them down to their true inner feelings.
In addition to art created to work as a means for deepening the self-knowledge of the meditator, there is also art created with the purpose of acting as a stress-relieving agent, just to point out some of the most important effects of meditating upon these paintings.
The meditation is perfectly safe and can be practised by everyone. The only thing that may cause discomfort is that things inside you may be shaken up, feelings will surface, and you will have to deal with them. This may of course be painful in some circumstances, but it is an inevitable part of the healing process.
The resulting effects of meditating upon the paintings, both by individuals and in groups, are so interesting that it has brought the attention of behavioural scientists.
However, the meditation is not in any way intended to replace or contradict any medical or psychological treatment that you might be receiving. Please consult your health care provider, if you are feeling any uncertainty around this issue.
