The ‘Art Attack’
Have you ever been so moved by a piece of art that it takes your breath away?
We call this feeling an “ART ATTACK.” It’s that moment of pure awe and wonder.
This experience is designed to help you find those moments by quieting the distractions and allowing you to become fully present with the artwork.
The Science of Neuroasthenics
This feeling of awe isn’t just an emotion; it’s a scientific process. Viewing art activates several key areas of the brain:
- The visual cortex processes the physical details like color, shape, and form.
- The amygdala is where you process human emotions, leading to feelings of joy, sadness, or reflection.
- The hippocampus creates a lasting memory of the art, tying its visual features to its emotional impact.
By mindfully engaging with art, you are actively nourishing your brain and promoting a state of relaxed focus.
Conclusion
This experience is more than a cultural outing; it’s a powerful form of self-care. It combines the tranquil environment of New York’s finest museums with guided mindfulness to create a space for physical relaxation and mental clarity.
You’ll leave feeling refreshed, centered, and with a deeper appreciation for the connection between art and your own well-being.
It’s an opportunity to find inner peace in one of the city’s most magnificent spaces.
