Kurzbeschreibung
Artist's Way-inspired teacher and acclaimed workshop leader Jill Badonsky shows how to unblock creativity and awaken the muses of imagination and inspiration in this unique guide to self-expression.
Meet Spills, Bea Silly, Albert, and Marge. No, they aren't TV's latest cartoon characters. They're just a few of the new and improved Muses.
Combining the whimsical and spiritual appeal of Sark with the concrete step-by-step approach of The Artist's Way, The Nine Modern Day Muses (and a Bodyguard) presents a fresh approach toward accessing your creativity, and is designed specifically for our frazzled and time-sensitive era. Creativity coach Jill Badonsky takes the nine classical Greek Muses and updates them for our time. Along with a little help from their no-nonsense bodyguard, Arnold, they personify ten principles designed to overcome creative blocks and embrace the wonders of self-expression.
Meet Aha-Phrodite, the inspired Muse of paying attention to possibility and new ideas. And Audacity, the uninhibited Muse of the courage to take risks. Lull gives you permission to let go of the process and take a break; Marge brings common sense and a call to action; while nurturing Muse Song sings your praises. Arnold acts as protection against such intruders as discouragement, creativity blocks, and mindless TV. With these and other encouraging, supportive, and practical Muses as your guides, you'll discover how to view your talents and creative potential in a positive light, with passion and self assurance. Each Muse will take you on a journey and share with you:
o Empowering exercises to awaken creativity
o Brainstorming
o Muse rituals to inspire faith and confidence
o Muse walks
o Spiritual affirmations
o Quotes from mortals who've been inspired by the Muses
o Journaling
and much more.
This entertaining, inspirational, and practical book is an indispensable handbook for the twenty-first-century seeker.

A Book Worth Reading
23. April 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
Despite the catchy title and Badonsky's sense of humor, this book is far from fluff. Because I make my living as a writer, paying rent and buying groceries depend on being able to tap into my creativity every day. Some days are more difficult than others. Some days, if I didn't laugh, I'd cry. This book helped me to lighten up and allow my creativity to flow, rather than trying to force it out of of myself. I loved Arnold, the bodyguard. He reminded me that my tender, young ideas do need protection. I recommend this book to others who create professionally as well as those who are exploring creativity as a way of self expression.

Your Own Team of Muses
16. Oktober 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
If you're looking for your own team of personal coaches, then this is the book for you. Author Jill Badonsky has taken the concept of the nine muses of Greek mythology, and turned them into personalities that resonate in the modern world. The book not only outlines principals for tapping into your creative power, but includes hands-on exercises as well.
Having a writer's block? Call upon Albert who encourages you to try something different. When you're feeling stressed out, then Bea Silly is the muse for you-- she tells you its time to go out and play. If you're worried about what other people think, you need Audacity, or Muse Song, who keeps track of your accomplishments and reminds you of your unique gifts. And when you're sure you don't have enough time to finish that novel, prepare that business plan, or finish that watercolor... Marge will tell you to start with just 15 minutes a day.
Each chapter introduces a new muse, and includes exercises to help you tap into the power of that muse.
One of my favorite muses is Shadow who actually gives you permission to have negative thoughts. From doing expressive drawings of your own shadow, to writing letters expressing your anger, the exercises in this chapter teach you to harness the power of those negative thoughts by channeling them into art or by releasing them.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to live more creatively whether in writing and visual arts or in endeavors such as running a business or raising a family. The principals outlined in this book apply to all "Mortals Wanting to Live a Dazzling Existence." And the best part is, the information is imparted in a fun and whimsical way.
