Hi, I’m purandev.
I’m a certified Art Therapist, a Kundalini Yoga Teacher, and Reiki Master in Akron, Ohio. I am passionate about using the healing power of creativity to promote healing. I offer a variety of modalities that utilize the creative process, including Art Therapy, yoga and meditation, reiki, and channeling. I truly believe in the therapeutic and healing power of creativity, and I’m honored to be a part of your journey!
The Healing Power of Creativity
Since the beginning of time, human beings have expressed themselves through creative activities such as music, dance, sound, and art. Cultures all over the world have understood the importance of creative expression and its essential role in healing. Creative modalities provide a cathartic outlet for us to express, process, and integrate various emotions and traumatic experiences. On a physical level, being creative can connect us deeper to our bodies and reduce physical tension. Emotionally, creative activities provide an outlet and support us in learning to better regulate our emotions. Mentally, being creative drops us into our ‘right brain,’ bringing us into a space of mindfulness and quieting the ‘monkey brain.’
We are all innately creative beings. Many of us have been conditioned to believe that we are not creative or that we can’t do art. At Tree of Life Counseling and Wellness, it is the creative process itself that is emphasized over the final product. Through the creative process, we learn about ourselves; we have an opportunity to grow, heal, and come into communion with ourselves and with life.
Specifically, engaging in the creative process can provide the following benefits:
Stress relief
Emotional release
Increased self-esteem and self-awareness
Increased mindfulness and relaxation
Increased emotional regulation
Provides a safe outlet for emotions
Enhanced coping skills
Enhanced cognitive skills
Sensory integration
What is the Tree of Life?
The Tree of Life is an ancient symbol that is as old as time itself. Reflected in multiple cultures throughout the world, the Tree of Life is a powerful symbol that serves to direct our consciousness back into the sense of unity and oneness that humanity originated from. The energy of the Tree of Life is dynamic, alive, joyful, creative, and expansive. Although the Tree of Life is constantly changing and evolving, it is also always deeply connected into the Earth, infusing it with a sense of stability and groundedness. It lives in remembrance of its true nature, which is connection to everyone and everything. The wisdom teachings of the Tree of Life remind us to move through all the seasons of our lives with non-attachment, ease, and grace.
Although the Tree of Life has many different branches that extend into different directions, all of its branches serve to take you back into a space of communion with yourself and with all of life.
So it is with the different offerings through Tree of Life Counseling and Wellness. I offer a variety of healing modalities, including Art Therapy, Yoga and meditation classes, Reiki, Akashic Records sessions, Channeling sessions, and Sophia Circle Journeys. While these modalities may appear distinct on the surface, at their core all of them can support you in finding inner clarity and peace, calming your mind, igniting your creativity, strengthening your immune system, releasing toxic patterns and behaviors, boosting your confidence and self-esteem, reducing anxiety and stress, and bringing your energy back into alignment.
I’m so happy that you are here, and I invite you to find those offerings that bring you into a space of connection, alignment, and joy within yourself. Blessings on your healing journey!
