139. How Beauty Heals: Neuroaesthetics, Art, and Peace

Описание: Ask me a question or let me know what you think! (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...)


There is enormous variety in the universe of visual art—and in this episode of The Modern Creative Woman, we explore why that matters so deeply to the human brain and nervous system.


Inspired by research from the field of neuroaesthetics, this conversation bridges cognitive science, art therapy, and lived experience to help you understand how beauty, art, and the spaces we inhabit can genuinely support healing and well-being. From moments of awe and wonder to the calming effects of viewing art, we explore how aesthetic experiences influence mood, regulation, perspective, and even physiology.


You’ll hear reflections on:

• Why beauty can create feelings of awe and meaning
• How viewing art supports emotional regulation and mental health
• What neuroaesthetics teaches us about architecture, space, and wellness
• Why art museums, sacred spaces, and expansive environments feel so soothing
• How your personal aesthetic preferences matter more than you think
• Simple ways to bring more beauty and creative intention into daily life

In a time when so much feels uncertain, this episode is an invitation to stay connected to art—not as escape, but as a powerful source of healing, reflection, and restoration. Beauty is not frivolous. Creativity is not optional. They are essential to how we care for ourselves and one another.


And as always, the question remains: now that you know, what will you create?
