The Story of Your Life
Come awake to a more creative lifeâby realizing clarity of mind, body and spirit.
Creativity is basic to the very fiber of our being, and notâas many suspectâsolely 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 creatingâdebunking the mythsâand 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 MythsâExplode the myths that creativity is only for the artistic elite, that creators must suffer, and that science and business can not be creative pursuits.
- EmptyingâLearn ways to recognize and move beyond the tired routines in your life that deaden the senses and soul.
- Filling UpâExperience new sensations through simple practices that revive natural perceptions and unlock hidden creative resources.
- CreatingâTry 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 peopleâElaine 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 fewâwho each demonstrate one or more of the characteristics of someone who creates from the spirit.
