Cameron, Julia

The vein of gold : a journey to your creative heart / Julia Cameron. - xiv, 368 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.

"A Jeremy P. Tarcher/Putnam book."

Includes bibliographical references (p. 354-359) and index.

Coauthor of the best-selling The Artist's Way (Tarcher, 1992), Cameron here assists her readers in broadening their creativity by guiding them on a journey through seven kingdoms. Her analogy of mining for gold?mining for the heart of creativity?works very well. To stimulate creative energies while walking a path to emotional growth, Cameron suggests beginning with writing a morning meditation. Chapters on patience, courage, and spiritual gifts are all interesting, each chapter ending with a list of tasks to practice. Each page is festooned with a quote from a writer, artist, or spiritualist. A solid bibliography and discography round out this rich self-help guide to developing spiritual, creative lives.
