NEW: Julia Cameron, Queen of Creativity, Shares About Her Newest Book

Have any of you read Julia Cameron's new book, The Creative Life: True Tales on Inspiration? How does it compare to The Artist's Way? The link below will take you to where Julia shares about her own creative process in video format.

Pictured here: Drawing by Mary Gravelle, crayon on paper, 8.5 x 11 inches, from my personal Igniting Your Intentions™ session in July 2009. You can see all of my drawings in this session on my Facebook Page.

This is the drawing's message:
Donegal's Garden -- I had never heard of Donegal's Garden before I did this drawing this morning. As soon as I got out the hot pink paper and picked a green crayon, those words came to me. Now, I'm researching. It is a real place in Ireland! This makes me really miss my garden in Connecticut. I must get a garden planted here at this small rental house. I miss gardening so much.

The Flowering of Consciousness

I've watched a fantastic video by Eckhart Tolle, The Flowering of Consciousness, a two disc series. I'm reading his book right now too--A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life's Purpose. The point that sticks out to me is the idea of the pain-body. That is intriguing. I'm looking at how my pain-body reacts with other pain-bodies around me. Yikes, I think that it is acting out in some ways. Being aware is the first step in healing and dissolving the pain-body. This is really important work by Eckhart Tolle and I recommend both the DVD/video and the book

Desire vs. Want

I'm reading and doing the exercises in the book, Feel It Real. Today's exercise was so enlightening that I needed to, wanted to, or ah .... desired to share it. The exercise was to write down your beliefs on desire. My mother tells the story of when I was a little girl of me jumping up and down on the bed singing "I want a wagon- sagon ". I wanted a red wagon so badly back then. I never got it. My Mom's heart ached because she could not buy it for me. Here's what I learned this morning. Wanting is so much different than desiring. Reflecting back on my little girl experience, I realized that wanting never leads to manifesting. I went to the dictionary to find out why. Desire : v. 1. to hope or wish for ardently: crave 2. to ask for: request * syns : ache, crave, hanker, long, wish, yearn n. 1. a strong wish or longing: craving 2. a wish or petition Want : v. 1. to desire greatly: wish 2. to be deficient in: lack 3. to need: require 4. to be needy 5. to seek wit

Thoughts from the Book, Frequency

I'm reading a new book, Frequency, by Penney Peirce. I'm pondering a new thought from it today under her 9 Stages to Transformation. In stage 8: Relationship, Family, and Group Experience Are Revolutionized, she says: "You develop a new understanding of yin/receptive and yang/dynamic energy, as well as the right and left brain. You balance yourself with equal development of your receptive-intuitive-sourcing side and your active-focusing-creating side so your perception can be more fluid, creative, and perpetually renewed. As you understand the balance of yin and yang awareness and energy, you draw parallels between these qualities and male-female gender dynamics in relationships. You find a new awreness about what's possible in relationshipe between two internally balanced people, along with new behavior possibilities for both genders." My intrigue with this reading is the idea of sourceing vs. creating. I always looked at creating from the right brain-intuitive s
