Heart & Soul: The Art of Creative Living
“The new meaning of soul is creativity and mysticism. These will become the foundation of the new psychological type and with him or her will come the new civilization.” – Otto Rank, Austrian Psychoanalyst
Does your life have soul? Living with soul is the difference between existing, and being alive. We all exist in the material world, but do we live our lives with meaning, creativity and passion? When we embrace our soul, we find exquisite meaning in every corner of our lives — and live with a sense of wonder and anticipation of new things we are creating.Whether you think you are creative or not — you are. Life is art. And you create your world every day. All around you is all you have created.
Art is about beauty, about what moves us, compels us…art is about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, finding the mystery and wonder in the worldly things we take for granted…artists bring to light the power and awe that pervades the mundane and connects us with the sublime, and so moves uswith the profundity of the aesthetic experience…this is how and why we fall in love with art…and as long as we are falling for art, or music, life or each other — we are alive.
The soul is the foundation of all biological life — influenced by the mind, and influential upon the physical body. Through the soul, our energy flows as emotion. Our emotions are a reflection of our alignment with the process of inner transformation, and cause biochemical reactions in the body based on that alignment.
