This study was an analysis of the effects of weekly holistic health and expressive arts activities on student perception of self-awareness, body-awareness, self-knowledge, creativity, and self-consciousness in an undergraduate university psychology course. A total of forty-one students in the courses received fourteen sessions of weekly holistic health and expressive arts activities that were designed to integrate the mind and body, to cultivate whole-brain functioning, to enhance creativity, to improve problem solving, to heighten self-awareness, and to attenuate self-consciousness levels. These activities were employed in the consignment of an Expressive Studies Psychology Course entitled Music, Art, and Movement. It was predicted that the intervention of the holistic health and the expressive arts activities would demonstrate an increase in students' self-perception of their self-knowledge, self-awareness, body-awareness, creativity, and show an overall decrease of their self-consciousness level. The Self-Consciousness Scale was used as a pre- and post-test to evaluate public, private and social levels of self-consciousness. ANOVA of the Self-Consciousness Scale indicated that the pre- and post-test results showed no significant difference between males and females. Paired T-test comparisons between the pre- and post-test results of the sub scales showed a slight tendency toward an attenuation of private and public self consciousness. Students were also given a pre- and post-test questionnaire to assess their self-perception of creativity level and body-awareness. Anecdotal accounts from questionnaires, journal writings, and artwork indicated a trend toward increased levels of students' self-perception of creativity, problem solving ability, self-knowledge and body-awareness. Anecdotal reports supported an attenuation in the level of self-consciousness.
