Art is a spiritual path—not a religion, but a practice that helps us knit together the ideals and convictions that guide our lives. Creating art can be prayer, ritual, and remembrance of the Divine. And the sharing of this creativity with others in small groups can serve as sanctuary, asylum, ashram, therapy group, think tank, and village square. Pat Allen has developed a reliable guide for walking the path of art through a series of simple practices that combine drawing, painting, and sculpture with journal writing. Designed for readers at any level of artistic experience, the book shows how to: • awaken the creative force and connect with the divine source of creativity • access inner wisdom and intuition about life issues, including both personal and community concerns • find a path to meaning that includes honoring, celebrating, and giving thanks • explore the images and symbols of traditions such as Catholicism, Judaism, shamanism, and Goddess worship • join in spiritual community with others who are following the path of art • discover that artmaking can help us live our ideals and be of service in the world Detailed examples from the author's own practice of art, plus the stories and images of several other people, are presented to illustrate how art becomes a spiritual path in action.

A fresh new approach to tapping into 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. Recognizing the importance of allowing our spiritual side to infuse our art and the fulfillment this can bring, Tom Crockett has created a program to teach us all, no matter what level of artistic experience we have, 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. Filled with personal anecdotes from the author's creativity workshops and practical, easy-to-implement advice for tapping into 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 the 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 ourselves and rediscover that creativity can be both a spiritual path and an important life tool.

In this exceptional new third edition, the author has retained the intent to animate the spiritual dimension that exists within all of us and embrace its resource for growth and change. Tapping into a person's belief system and spiritual dimension provides clinicians with information that can impact both assessment and treatment. By drawing on sources in the literature of religion, psychodynamics, systems theory, sociology, art, and ethics, the author lays a foundation for discovering and measuring clients’ spiritual sensibilities and search for personal meaning of their relationship to God. Chapter 1 discusses the evolution of the book and how the author embarked upon the inclusion of the spiritual dimension in assessment and treatment. Chapter 2 reviews the literature that encircles art therapy, mental health, and spirituality and explores its impact. Chapter 3 examines the Belief Art Therapy Assessment (BATA). Chapter 4 highlights the interviews and use of the BATA with clergy, while Chapter 5 explores its use with a “normal” adult artist population. Chapter 6 looks at spiritual art therapy with emotionally disturbed children and youth in residential treatment. Chapter 7 offers a case vignette of spiritual art therapy with a suicidal anorectic bulimic. Chapter 8 discusses phototherapy applications regarding the issue of mourning and loss. Academic and clinical applications are presented. Chapter 9 explores humankind’s search for inner and outer meaning after the tragedy of September 11. The final chapter offers an extensive discussion on the pathway for life and the body in treatment. The role of yoga and art therapy, including the importance of moving forward into life with greater resiliency and independence, is examined. An excellent resource for increased knowledge and sensitivity, the book is designed for art therapists, mental health workers, social workers, educational therapists, pastoral counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, and other creative arts therapists.

Forward By: Brenda L. Stovall We have all sinned and come short of the Glory of God. But when the epiphany of the realization of an apparent error has occurred, we must make a u-turn from traveling the " Broad Way" and redirect our steps to the road "less traveled" and become the spiritual trailblazers we were meant to be. This book is a road map to success retold in a poetical format for those who have forgotten their atlas at home, were given "wrong instructions", have taken "shortcuts" "detours" or just "stuck in traffic". This book is for the proud who are too afraid to pull over to ask for directions for the sake of looking bad, but not realizing that they are already looking bad because everyone else in the car saw the exit sign miles ago, but they choose not to listen and continued on their own journey until they've reached the turnpike of life and just don't know how to get off. It is when we are on the road to success, we will obtain fulfillment because now we have stepped into our purpose, because He knows the plans He has for us of good and not evil. He is soo good; we do not even have to fret because He has ordered our steps. He is Jesus Christ. This is not your typical poetry book. This book is meant to unveil the layers that have been cloaked by the enemy, to free people's minds and hearts, to allow them the space to breathe again because we have a redemptive quality in God. Knowing the price for our sins was paid at Calvary. So when others laugh and scorn you for your past, you will know without a doubt, that the redeemed of the Lord can say So! That there is a Sea called Forgetfulness and we need to learn how to swim in it. Instead of stirring up the philosophical jargon of "what happened in yo

The primal role of art in awakening and liberating the soul of humanity • Presents a seven-stage journey of transformation moving from the darkened soul to the light of spiritual illumination • Provides a meditation practice to experience the spiritual energy embedded within art • Includes artists Alex Grey, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Walter Gaudnek, and others Art and Spiritual Transformation presents a seven-stage journey from the darkened soul to the light of spiritual illumination that is possible through the world of art. Finley Eversole introduces a meditation practice that moves beyond the visual content of an art form in order to connect with its embedded spiritual energy, allowing the viewer to tap in to the deeper consciousness inherent in the artwork and awaken dormant powers in the depths of the viewer’s soul. Examining modern and postmodern artwork from 1945 onward, Eversole reveals the influences of ancient Egypt, India, China, and alchemy on this art. He draws extensively on philosophy, myth and symbolism, literature, and metaphysics to explain the seven stages of spiritual death and rebirth of the soul possible through art: the experience of self-loss, the journey into the underworld, the experience of the dark night of the soul, the conflict with and triumph over evil, the awakening of new life in the depths of being, and the return and reintegration of consciousness on a higher plane of being, resulting finally in ecstasy, transfiguration, illumination, and liberation. To illustrate these stages, Eversole includes works by abstract expressionists Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko and modern visionary artists Alex Grey and Ernst Fuchs, among others, to reveal the powerful and liberating forces art contributes to the transformation and evolution of human consciousness.

What does it mean to become and work as an artist today? What unique challenges do artists face in the twenty-first century, and what skills are required to overcome them? How might art become an expression of spiritual life? In addressing these and other questions, Deborah J. Haynes offers reflections that range from the practical to the deeply philosophical. She explores challenging ideas: impermanence, suffering, and the inevitability of death; the virtues of generosity, kindness, and compassion; and more abstract concepts such as negative capability, groundlessness, and wisdom. Individual chapters are framed by personal stories and images from the artist's work. Beginning Again: Reflections on Art as Spiritual Practice is a personal statement, born from the author's experience as an artist, writer, teacher, and Buddhist practitioner. Haynes writes for artists--and for all exploring the relationship of their creativity to the inner life. For Haynes, making and looking at art can be a form of meditation and prayer, a space for solitude, silence, and living in the present. ""Deborah Haynes is an exemplary person with immense inquisitiveness and a depth of critical intelligence to apply her spiritual path to all aspects of her life. This book is a byproduct of her own journey and the realizations that she has gathered over a long period of time. I hope it brings deep insight into readers' own lives as to how creativity and the life that we live can come together in perfect harmony and synchronicity."" --Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, author of Training in Tenderness: Buddhist Teachings on Tsewa, the Radical Openness of Heart That Can Change the World (2018) ""Beginning Again is a beguiling guidebook to artistic practice that is grounded both spiritually and intellectually. What does it mean to be an artist? How can making art change the world? As Deborah Haynes shows us, these questions reveal their own answers. By cultivating with creative awareness mindfulness, kindness, and compassion toward all beings, we can live our art practice."" --Jacquelynn Baas, Director Emeritus, University of California Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, author of Smile of the Buddha: Eastern Philosophy and Western Art from Monet to Today (2005) ""We all have moments when we step outside our habitual reality to glimpse the magnificence of the world around us. How do we express the depth and freshness of these ineffable experiences in our longing to communicate them to others? In Beginning Again, Deborah Haynes shares with us her journey into this very question. A thoughtful, reflective, integrated journey into art and spirituality."" --Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel, Buddhist teacher and author of The Logic of Faith (2018) Deborah J. Haynes is Professor Emerita of Art and Art History at the University of Colorado Boulder. She is both a writer and artist. Her books include Art Lessons (2003), Book of This Place (2009), Spirituality and Growth on the Leadership Path (2012), and Bakhtin Reframed (2013). Her website is www.DeborahJHaynes.com.
