Book excerpt: We all have come across moments in life when we ask ourselves, ‘Who Am I?’ and ‘What’s my life purpose?’ But often, we simply stop after the inquiry and spend our lifetimes chasing some dream—financial, personal, or societal—without thinking of the bigger picture. This way, we miss out on uncovering the deeper reality of life, its real purpose, and most importantly, why we are who we are. After her highly successful book, Living Spirituality, Meetu Bisht delivers an insightful text that brings us closer to understanding why we live the life that we live, the true purpose of our unique individual journeys, and the ways in which we can progress and evolve. The book elaborates on concepts such as soul personality and karmic mandates and also explains how our tendencies and certain karmic factors are responsible for our individual life scenarios and destinies. Why We Are Who We Are is relevant for all those who are keen to get a deeper understanding of their inner state and grow spiritually by living a life of greater meaning and purpose and by becoming a higher version of the self.

Book excerpt: "SoulCollageTM is a process through which you contact your intuition and create an incredible deck of cards which have deep personal meaning and which will help you with life's questions. Following the simple SoulCollage directions, your hands move fragments of cut-out magazine pictures around, fitting them together in a surprising new way and gluing them down on a card. Cards containing the images you select -- or the images that select you -- come straight through your Soul, bypassing the mind. This is a multi-leveled, creative process which anyone can do. All you need is a good pair of scissors, pre-cut mat board cards, glue, and images you can cut out from magazines, greeting cards, personal photos, postcards, catalogues, and calendars. It is wonderful to have other people with whom to share the process. The cards are fun to take to a friend's house, to work with in therapy or support groups, or to keep on your coffee table."--Publisher description.

Download or read book The Creative Soul written by Lawrence H. Staples and published by Fisher King Press. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large Print Edition Who we most deeply are is mirrored in our artistic work. Our need for mirroring simultaneously attracts us to and repels us from our creative callings and relationships. It is one of life's great dilemmas. Artist's block and lover's block flow from the same pool. Often, we fear deeply the very thing needed to create original art, to experience intimate relationships and to live authentic lives: we are frightened by the impulse to be fully revealed to ourselves, and to others, as this most often entails exposing the unacceptable shadowy aspects of our humanity and risking rejection. Mirrors in all their manifold guises permit us to safely see and experience ourselves in reflection and become better acquainted with the rejected, ostracized aspects of our personalities. Creative work is one of the few places where we can truly express and witness lost aspects of our authentic selves. Within us a treasure beckons. This is what we spend our lives pursuing. What slows and distracts us is not the object we long for, but where we search. To find this precious gem, we must eventually return to our own creative spirits. Topics explored in THE CREATIVE SOUL include: * OPPOSITES AND CREATIVITY * THE CREATIVE INSTINCT * OUR UNIQUE IDENTITY * SOME ELEMENTS OF CREATIVITY * SOME PREREQUISITES OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS * LA PETITE MORT * GIVING VOICE TO THE MANY LIVES WITHIN * DREAMS AND ACTIVE IMAGINATION AS TRIGGERS TO CREATIVITY * CREATIVITY AS AN INNER PARENT * CREATIVITY WITHIN BOUNDS * THE CREATIVE GAP * THE POWER OF SMALL * CREATIVITY AND INDEPENDENCE * ART AND THE QUEST FOR WHOLENESS * THERAPY AS ART * FEAR OF SELF-REVELATION BLOCKS CREATIVITY * INTIMACY AND CREATIVITY * THE IMPORTANCE OF MIRRORING * CREATIVITY, GUILT, AND SELF-DEVELOPMENT * CREATIVITY AND LONELINESS * LIFE AND THE TENSION OF OPPOSITES

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus, author, thought leader, and founder of MOSAIC in Los Angeles, pens a manifesto for human creativity and the beginning of a new renaissance. McManus not only calls us to reclaim our creative essence but reveals how we can craft our lives into a work of art. There are no shortcuts to quality, and McManus celebrates the spiritual process that can help us discover our true selves. McManus demonstrates that we all carry within us the essence of an artist. We all need to create, to be a part of a process that brings to the world something beautiful, good, and true, in order to allow our souls to come to life. It's not only the quality of the ingredients we use to build our lives that matter, but the care we bring to the process itself. Just like baking artisan bread, it's a process that's crafted over time. And God has something to say about how we craft our lives. With poignant, inspirational stories and insights from art, life, history, and scripture interspersed throughout, McManus walks readers through the process of crafting a life of beauty and wonder.
