Come awake to a more creative life—by realizing clarity of mind,
body and spirit. Creativity is basic to the very fiber of our
being, and not—as many suspect—solely the privilege of a gifted
few. When we silence the voice of creativity that lives within us,
we confine our spirit. Award-winning author Dan Wakefield helps us
to examine our reasons for not creating—debunking the myths—and
shows us the path to a fulfilling, creative life. Drawing on
examples from religion, philosophy, and literature, Wakefield
teaches us that the key to unleashing our own inner creativity is
in clarity of mind, body, and spirit. Releasing the Creative Spirit
gives us practical guidance to demystify the creative process and
to help each of us achieve this clarity by: Breaking the
Myths—Explode the myths that creativity is only for the artistic
elite, that creators must suffer, and that science and business can
not be creative pursuits. Emptying—Learn ways to recognize and
move beyond the tired routines in your life that deaden the senses
and soul. Filling Up—Experience new sensations through simple
practices that revive natural perceptions and unlock hidden
creative resources. Creating—Try hands-on, practical exercises to
explore the mystery of creativity in your life from a spiritual
perspective. This passionate, personal guide draws on examples from
the experiences of many creative people—Elaine Pagels
(professor), Tom Wolfe (novelist), John Coltrane (jazz musician),
Harold Kushner (rabbi), Danielle Levi-Alvares (yoga teacher),
Stephen Hawking (physicist), and Phil Jackson (basketball coach),
just to name a few—who each demonstrate one or more of the
characteristics of someone who creates from the spirit. Creative
People… Develop clarity as the source of creativity Take
responsibility for their lives and work Regard age as an
opportunity See obstacles as an invitation to create new solutions,
techniques, and skills Recognize the body/mind/spirit connection
Find surprising new ways to perform routine tasks …and much more
This fresh exploration of the creative spirit includes hands-on
exercises to help you unlock your creative powers, inviting you to
experience the artistic grace and pleasure that can exist in our
everyday lives. You may discover, as many others have, that with
creativity comes more joy, more laughter, and more accomplishment
than you previously thought possible.
