Fractals are self-similar shapes consisting of complex repetitive patterns that are self-similar at different scales infinitely. Their dimension can help explaining how non-linear dynamic systems might work. The most common shapes known as fractals are trees, clouds, blood veins, muscle tissue and the artificial ones generated by computer. It is well known that nature images have an effect in reducing psychological and physiological stress.
-
So why wouldn’t fractals shapes do the same?
-
Objectives: The main objective of this preliminary research is to validate the possibility of using fractals shapes as a way to reduce perceived stress in experiential groups. Using fractals
images as creative meditation support technique (The Fractal Technique) in Therapy of Unification aims to highlight their projective power to access the unconscious easily.
-
Methods: Before and after the experiential group intervention, the participants completed two psychological scales that measure the level of perceived stress in the last month and last 6 months: Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)
-
Results: The quantitative results showed a significant statistical reduction of perceived stress in all the participants of the experiential group. The qualitative results showed an important
projective power of fractals images and shapes if used in experiential manner trough creative meditation of Fractals Techniques. During the creative-meditation, 90% of participants managed to access parts of their primary traumas or the Shadow Archetype.
-
Conclusions: These first results show a significant influence of fractals in reducingperceived stress which leads us to the conclusion that Fractals Techniques needs to be improved,
developed and validated on a larger scale. Also, the results show a big capacity of fractals imagesused in an experiential manner to transcend.
