The Artist's Way Week 4 - Recovering Integrity
WEEK 4 NOW AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE!
Week 4 is all about getting real clear on self, self-discipline, and our emotions. It starts off with solutions for struggle with the morning pages. Julia reminds us of the importance of morning pages. Morning pages helps us to stay grounded and centered. They force us to stay present and they help us see ourselves. They realign our values, our truth, and our growth.
This week mentions kriyas, a Sanskrit word, that are cries of the soul. They are spiritual seizures. I like to consider them clarity moments. It’s where we can see and feel things for what they truly are and move accordingly. It’s about learning when to surrender and let things go. Julia Cameron then continues on to remind us to add more child-like joy in our lives. To get back to being more playful. This like every week was really powerful and insightful.
