Follow Your Creative Spirit - Paperback

by Julianne Davidow (Author)

During the Renaissance and in other ancient cultures, philosophers believed in a divine, interconnected universe. Each person was said to be a microcosm of this universe, born with a guiding spirit, talent, or source of inspiration called a daimon. The daimon is a kind of messenger that moves between the divine and mortal worlds. The daimon urges us to fulfill our life purposes through thoughts, feelings, signs, and symbols.

Follow Your Creative Spirit examines the yearning so many of us feel to create something of meaning and value. This longing comes from a place of mystery and depth and is a key to finding fulfillment. Yet it's often difficult to know how to begin or, once a project is underway, to continue working on it and bring it to completion.

Following your creative spirit means believing in your talent, abilities, and unique creative power. Along with exploring the concept of the daimon and how creative people from various disciplines lived and worked, Follow Your Creative Spirit provides tools to help you connect your creative desire with the thoughts, behaviors, and actions needed to manifest your inner vision, and bring your art to life.
