We need more beauty in the world...An interview with Jennifer Nash Kochevar

Art and beauty exert a measurable influence on the human body and soul: exposure to harmonious form, color, proportion, and music has been shown to lower cortisol, reduce blood pressure, regulate breathing, and stimulate dopamine and oxytocin—chemicals associated with pleasure, bonding, and well-being—while simultaneously activating memory centers in the brain that connect us to personal and collective history. Beauty draws the nervous system out of chronic stress and into contemplative presence; it anchors us in the “now” while evoking echoes of the past through shared symbols, sacred architecture, ancestral music, and enduring masterpieces that generations have contemplated before us. In this way, art becomes both physiological medicine and cultural bridge: it calms the body, orders the emotions, elevates the mind, and binds us to those who lived centuries ago, reminding us that we stand within a living continuum of meaning, memory, and human dignity.Jennifer Nash Kochevar is an art expert in Minnesota.   She has a passion for bringing beauty, elegance, meaning and connection to the world.  Gallery 366 https://share.google/wni5LPFCAe705tW4iDr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher interviews an art expert that helps bring quality and meaning to her clients' worlds.
