ISBN: 9780394224992.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA young mother takes up meditation and discovers a hidden flair for art; a middle-aged homemaker opens to the voice of her inner spirit and develops into an internationally recognized poet; a down-and-out young actor incorporates his Native spiritual traditions into his work and eventually wins acclaim for both his acting and playwriting abilities.\n\nMany people today find themselves on a spiritual path yearning for understanding of the mysteries of life and striving for a closer connection with the Divine. As part of the spiritual process, some individuals encounter powerful compulsions to express themselves creatively. And others experience an enigmatic, wonderful, and quite inexplicable increase in their creative abilities.\n\nTeri Deglers personal and passionate exploration of the creative spiritual quest through the stories of present-day seekers is well supported by teaching from respected traditions such as Yoga, and balanced by the stories of historical creative geniuses, mystics and visionaries such as Rumi, St. Hildegard of Bingen, Walt Whitman and Johannes Brahms.\n\nAlso included are exercises in creative writing and visualization that offer helpful ways to find our own expressive abilities. By increasing inspiration and stilling the critical inner voice of resistance, we open ourselves to a more joy-filled existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Random House Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45116187050037,"sku":"ByrdShop_039422499X","price":64.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780394224992_5f4aae14-fb4d-42aa-8362-069d0e6240dc.jpg?v=1781190902","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/fiery-muse-creativity-and-the-spiritual-quest-9780394224992","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
