At Beginning To Zen (BTZ), creating a community which is a safe haven for people to share and explore changing belief systems is our main focus. Feelings of self-doubt, depression, anxiety or “losing your mind” are natural when letting go of anything that will significantly change your core beliefs.
We promote this exploration using creative expression in all of its various forms. Our posts contain information, resources, tools and products to help you find a creative outlet that may reduce the severity of symptoms without adding prescription drugs. BTZ seeks to introduces alternative, drugfree ways to cope with change that may compliment existing medical treatment if not replace it altogether. Only you and your doctor decide when prescribed medication is the most viable treatment option for you.
Below are just a few of the alternative forms of creative self-expression and healing explored here:
- Flow arts
- Moving meditation
- Crystals and gemstones
- Jewelry making
- Journaling
- Creative Writing
- Painting
- Drawing
- Mixed Media Art
- Metal Smithing
- Wood Crafts
- Textile arts
Meditation and yoga along with alternative healing modalities such as Reiki, EFT/tapping, NLP, Access Bars, aromatherapy, acupressure, reflexology, and other forms of energy work are also discussed.
