The Artist’s Way

By Julia Cameron

‘The Artist’s Way’ by Julia Cameron is a brilliant book on how to heal pain for various artists and creative people. Remember, to be in the creative lab does not necessarily mean that you have to be an actor, painter or writer. Creativity is something that we all have access to. It is just a question of discovering what your brand of creativity is, even if it is just creative recreation.

Recovering Your Creative Gift and Ideas

Julia Cameron takes you through a 12 week process of healing a broken heart and refocusing your creative gift and ideas. She assists you to identify and overcome the creative monsters of you past, you know, the nasty negative attitude people who attempted to steal your creative street of dreams. Then she gives you tasks to inspire and re-ignite your creative gift, ideas and talent.

The Creative Visualization Difference

Cameron also makes it possible for you to acknowledge that we are all different without having to try and be different. We all have our own very unique and particular brand of creative visualization. But the only way we discover that unique artistic development is by taking action and letting go of the need to control the creative process.

A Hot Teacher Who Has Been There

The great thing about this coolest of creative how to books of self-mastery and self-healing is that Julia Cameron wrote this book after she herself had reached a creative rock-bottom. She used these motivation techniques herself to get out of a creative and private life rut. As a writer, actor, director and editor I have used this book on many occasions to overcome blocks and doubt. It inspired me to overcome all the self imposed obstacles that I had placed in my own creative life.

For the Tropic of Freedom Books Finders Keepers:
There is not much else to say other than read this book and take action on the exercises. If you are a repressed or burnt out creative, or if you would like to bring a new richness to your creativity, then The Artist's Way should be at the top of your reading list. You are taking on a journey of clearing and remembering your creative memories as well as getting rid of your creative petty tyrants and crazy makers.

One parting thought to ponder is this: If your creative gift, ideas and talents are a gift from the divine, then you are merely their custodian. That means the onus is on you to express them fully and to all the world.
