Perhaps you’re a longtime student of the Artist’s Way, or perhaps you are taking your first step in the path to higher creativity. With any pursuit, fundamentals are key. So is steady, supportive guidance.

As you embark on your spiritual exploration for the first time, or once again, return always to the basic principles of the Artist’s Way. And emerge as the artist you want to be.

Basic Principles of the Artist’s Way:

1.    Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy: pure creative energy.

2.    There is an underlying, in-dwelling creative force infusing all of life--including ourselves.

3.    When we open ourselves to our creativity, we open ourselves to the creator’s creativity within us and our lives.

4.    We are, ourselves, creations. And we, in turn, are meant to continue creativity by being creative ourselves.

5.    Creativity is God’s gift to us. Using our creativity is our gift back to God.

6.    The refusal to be creative is self-will and is counter to our true nature.

7.    When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good orderly direction.

8.    As we open our creative channel to the creator, many gentle though powerful changes are to be expected.

9.    It is safe to open ourselves up to greater and greater creativity.

10. Our creative dreams and yearnings come from a divine source. As we move toward our dreams, we move toward our divinity.
