Using Your Feelings, Courage and Imagination. This book explains why your inner artist may be dormant and suggests ways of identifying and overcoming barriers. It debunks the myth that training is essential to be an artist, and offers alternative ways of releasing the creative power that exists naturally within each and every one of us. Allowing yourself to be creative can help you see things differently and make you happier, more alert and better able to capture memories, release feelings and encourage relaxation.
