The Benefits of Origami

The Benefits of Origami as Handwork

Working with your hands - whether you sew, paint or play a musical instrument - may be the ultimate way to beat stress and tension. Handwork puts you into a more relaxed state where you are free to be more creative. Its almost a form of hypnosis. You'll reap maximum benefits if you spend 30 minutes to an hour each day on the activity.

"In all cases it is great help to have as many resources at hand as possible, as the hands lead the way to learning and logic. The hands absorb and transmit indescribable messages and information to the brain in the most thorough way available to us. Yet we often limit the hands of the school child to the stultifying dimensions of a pencil, a ruler and the pages of a book."
