Ignite Your Imagination

At forty-two, Joan Stanford—a busy mother, innkeeper—discovered, to her surprise and delight, a creative process for insight and healing that allowed even her, a self-proclaimed “non-artist,” to start making art. In The Art of Play, Stanford shares her journey through art and poetry as an example of how taking—or, more appropriately, making—time to pay attention to the imagery our daily lives presents to us can expand our awareness and joy, and she offers readers suggestions for how to do this for themselves, inviting them to embark on their own journey.

A lot of people think that creativity is binary: Either you have it, or you don't. But actually (and science has proved it), all of us have it. It's just a matter of how much we apply it. This extraordinary book explains in detail a special method using 5 uniquely created paintings designed to energize your imagination and ignite your creativity. By applying the 4 steps of the special L-I-V-E visualization technique (Look - Interpret - Visualize - Experience) to these pictures, the imagination becomes a powerful energizer to ignite a person's creativity. This is particularly effective for people who have had difficulty getting started and/or sticking with a plan of action. The most common reason people often fail to reach their goals is they are trying to make outward changes without making any inward changes. In most cases, a genuine inward change must hap-pen first before the outward change can become a lasting reality. The secret to doing that is using the power of the imagination, and this book will teach you how. Whether you are looking to pursue new creative activities or perhaps you want to enhance your already active creativity, this method will help you achieve your goal.

The modern lineage holder of the Kabbalah of Light, Shainberg shares 159 short experiential exercises and practices to help you begin dialoguing with your subconscious through images.
