Beneficial Nostalgia captures the comfort and well-being enclosed in loving memories. The piece symbolises how evoking positive memories in a ceremonial manner can work as a resource to cope with negative mental states or emotional roadblocks.
Keeping these memories in one’s mind’s eye (and close to one’s heart – as an intimate reminder of welcoming refuge in difficult times) serves as a kind, empathetic and loving way of cultivating nostalgia, and allegedly attending to its restorative effect on the body, mind and spirit.
