Creativity Keywords: Journaling, Mandalas, Positive Affirmations, Creative Visualization, Guided Imagery The creative process is an essential part of the spiritual development and well-being of people. Studies have found that students who have a higher proportion of arts and music in their schooling score better than their peers in math and science! Being creative in any form (from business to the arts) expands the mind and allows for one to see things in a different way. Solving problems, having something to look forward to and building self-esteem are just some of the many benefits derived from creative endeavors. There are no rules to being creative, except to try something new - no matter how small or insignificant it may seem to you or others - and just go with it! You’ll be stunned to discover that a little creative project can open you up to other, unexpected ideas and experiences! Ascendant Books hopes to aid your creativity with great books on the creative process by authors like Sark, and so many more! Journaling writing can help one move forward in their lives, heal and realize their dreams. One can discover a whole new world of emotional healing, inspiration and self-expression in the pages of their journals! Find your special journal in the creative section at Ascendant Books. Mandalas Mandalas are beautifully designed patterns made from colored sand. Mandalas are a Tibetan creation, and they are synchronized to the Tibetan philosophy of impermanence. Ascendant Books carries Mandala coloring books for adults who want to relax and possibly meditate (great for those who have a hard time ‘quieting the mind’). You will be left with a beautiful picture that can be framed if desired! Positive Affirmations Positive affirmations are statements that create a reality or truth through frequent repetition. They are repeated to improve a person’s situation by creating a circle of positive energy around the person, e.g, “The universe is unfolding perfectly. Divine love is guiding me and I am well taken care of”(Louise Hay). Affirmations are a great way to dismantle negative self talk. Find Louise Hay’s affirmation and power thought cards in our creativity section at Ascendant Books. Guided Imagery Guided Imagery is a type of directed daydream or meditation in which one uses their imagination in a focused way to help the manifestation process. Guided Imagery helps the mind and body work together to create. This is excellent to use in conjunction with positive affirmations. Creative Visualization Creative visualization is similar to guided imagery in that you are focusing on a particular image or idea to promote a desired outcome. In this process, you move from desire to intent by envisioning what you want and how you will reach it. |
