Inspiration & Personal Growth

NEW AGE / PERSONAL GROWTH "Susan Wright's creations epitomize the true meaning of magic. They take us to new levels of consciousness, empowering us to accomplish goals we previously only imagined, to realize our deepest dreams. Read, learn, enjoy--and shapeshift yourself and the world."From the foreword by John Perkins, bestselling author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, Shapeshifting, and The World Is As You Dream ItThe chakra system identifies eight centers in the psycho-anatomy of humans, each one associated with a different part of the physical or energy body. Susan J. Wright, a practicing shaman and Gestalt psychotherapist, uses her own life journey to show that each chakra also is linked to a different stage of emotional and spiritual development. In The Chakras in Shamanic Practice, she identifies eight key developmental stages of life, from birth to old age/death. Each of these life stages has various developmental challenges and potential traumatic events that will likely occur within our culture and affect the health and well-being of the individual. Wright explains that life traumas experienced in particular developmental stages become lodged within the energy body as they cling to their corresponding chakra. By identifying and working with the chakra involved, a doorway can be opened to a world of transformative images, allowing powerful shamanic techniques to heal these psychic wounds. Providing both physical exercises and guided meditations that utilize the techniques of soul retrieval, working with power animals, and transcending trauma, Wright offers practitioners a way to gather and nurture the fragmented parts of their energy body and lead themselves to physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.Susan J. Wright, a practicing shaman and licensed massage therapist since 1981, is also certified as both a Gestalt psychotherapist and yoga teacher and is a licensed clinical social worker. She created and facilitates a shamanic training program at her healing center, Birth of Venus, in Mamaroneck, New York, where she integrates social work, psychotherapy, and shamanism with yoga, belly dancing, and craniosacral therapy and other bodywork techniques. She lives in Mamaroneck, New York.

A fresh new approach to tapping in to our own creativity, using the images and artifacts of our dreams.

Getting inspired is one of the toughest parts of being an artist, whether we're a beginner or a seasoned professional. But as Tom Crockett shows us in this new book, finding ideas for our artwork is easier than we think. By simply exploring the images of our sleeping and waking dream states, we can discover a wealth of ideas and inspiration that are more authentic and powerful because they reveal our underlying spiritual self.

Having recognized the importance and fulfillment that comes from allowing our spiritual side to infuse our art, Tom Crockett has created a program to teach us, no matter what level of artistic experience, how to bring art and spirit into one. The four different types of creative expression Crockett has identified -- Finding, Arranging, Altering, and Making -- open up artistic options for everyone, even for those of us who cannot yet imagine that we have the ability to create art. Full of personal anecdotes from the author's creativity workshops and practical, easy-to-implement advice for tapping in to our hidden creativity, The Artist Inside teaches us:

how to access the dreaming world to heighten creativity that we can create in each piece of artwork a temporary home for spirit how creating a spiritual path can energize us and increase our intuitive capacity

When the process of making art is guided by the inner vision of our sleeping and waking dream states, we connect with something larger than ourself and rediscover that creativity can be both a spiritual path and an important life tool.

From the Introduction: What follows in this book is one person's attempt to describe and work with the indefinable, namely creative infinity. You might call this God, the Universe, universal intelligence, Great Spirit, or any number of things. Or you might call it nothing at all. I propose that all of these approaches are valid, including my own. I propose that the creative infinity works through all of us all the time, and to encourage it as much as we can. Learn More
