In Lucia Capacchione’s newest book, Living with Feeling, she suggests that holding our emotions in is stifling us. Especially in the terror we have all felt from the events of 9-11, this books' release in August was as if timed for our needs. She encourages emotional release, laying out an creative plan for reaching inside ourselves and pulling out our deepest feelings through painting, drumming, dancing, molding clay, journal writing, mask-making and collage. These forms of self expression, she believes will enable us to see our emotions more objectively, express them and then allow us to move on. Your anger, sadness, and fear are set free so that you can then experience joy, happiness, and confidence in your life.
