Proven
benefits of journal writing include reduced stress, increased
self-awareness, strengthened ability to cope and enhanced
well-being. Creative journal writing goes way beyond just
recording events on paper. It can be the companion that
supports but doesn’t judge, and a place of creative
discovery. Combining a rich choice of ideas with wonderful
stories, quotes, and her refreshingly intimate thoughts
gained through a lifetime of writing, Stephanie Dowrick’s
insights and confidence make journal writing irresistible.
In this exceptionally positive and encouraging book, Dowrick
frees the journal writer she believes is in virtually everyone,
showing through stories and examples that a genuine sense
of possibility can be revived on every page.

Lucia
Capacchione has discovered that our non-dominant hand is
a direct channel to our potential and, through the "other
hand" exercises and experiments in this course, she
will show you how to do such things as: Talk to your inner
child; Aid in recovery from addictions; Channel the deep
inner wisdom of your True Self; Help your body to heal;
Heal your relationships; Uncover hidden artistic abilities;
Change negative attitudes about yourself. Through various
drawing and writing exercises with your other hand, you
will explore and understand your thoughts and feelings on
a completely different level, finding out things about yourself
that have been buried or concealed for quite some time.

Throughout the ages the language of poetry has held the power
to lend us courage, to give us the vision of those who endured,
and to hazard ourselves boldly at the fierce edges of our
lives. David Whyte acclaimed poet and teacher takes you through
an exploration of poetry, including the verses of such inspired
voices as Emily Dickinson, William Blake, W. B. Yeats, Marina
Tsvetayeva, Rainer Maria Rilke, Antonio Machado, and others.

Michael Gelb 2CD Set
|

Simple,
step-by-step exercises demonstrate how to enhance awareness
of mind and body by using techniques of traditional Japanese
calligraphy based on traditional Japanese shodo, "the
Way of Calligraphy" The author introduces beginners
and non-artists alike to working with brush and ink as a
form of "moving meditation.". Brush Meditation
begins by looking at the ancient roots of Asian calligraphy
and painting and how they have migrated to the West. It
then explores the intricate relationships of mind, body,
and brush, and delves into the mysteries of human life energy,
or ki, and the power of the hara, a natural abdominal centre.
How these concepts relate to art, daily life, and personal
growth is fully described.

Journals
offer their makers a safe place to dream, doodle, rant,
and reinvent themselves. They offer viewers rich, visual
inspiration. There is a fascination with these revealing
and often beautiful pages of self-exploration and personal
expression. Journals offer a tantalising, voyeuristic view
of an interior life. This will be the first book to offer
over 1000 journals in one eye-catching, visual format, and
should attract a wide swathe of artists who fully embrace
or experiment with this medium. Journaling has seeped into
popular culture in a big way and this collection provides
a wide array of ideas, techniques and themes to inspire
and inform mixed media and journaling enthusiasts.

All
artists are dependant on a certain amount of creativity.
Yet, it is clear that all artists are not equally creative.
The artist seeks techniques to enhance their creative expression.
It is fairly clear that the application of Zen – with
its comprehensive range of skills in blending mind, body
and spirit is well suited to the artist seeking ways to
access hidden creative dimensions within.
More than anything else, the application of Zen-mind to
the artist’s inner orientation will encourage the emergence
of an individual’s specific style in artist execution.

Derived from a Sanskrit word, mandalas are a universal
symbol of wholeness. Anneke Huyser introduces mandalas
throughout history; and from cultures all over the world;
and in nature. Huyser provides practical artistic information
about materials to use when creating your mandalas and
provides a list of shapes, symbols, colours, and numbers
and what they mean so that you can combine personal and
ancient iconography to fully express yourself. Also includes
practical tips, an relaxation and visualisation exercise.
Used as wall hangings, ornaments, or jewellery, mandalas
are also powerful meditation tools. Reflecting on them
can bring you back to your centre in times of unrest.

Filling
in mandalas with your choice of colours is a great way
to take a break from everything happening in your day
and to just relax. There are many cool kaleidoscopic designs
to choose from, including stars bursting from within larger
stars and a bird flying towards the centre of a circle.
Some of the mandalas look like mazes, others like spider
webs. Colouring in these mandalas will provide hours of
enjoyment.
