Conscious Writing: Discover Your True Voice Through Mindfulness and More

Description

Conscious Writing is an original approach to deep creative awakening that leads you to discover your true self and express your true voice - on the page and in the world. It's a journey of self-realization (conscious) and self-expression (creativity) that can be applied to any and all types of writing, and fluently blends soul with craft to reveal your richest insights and ideas. Whether you dream of writing but haven't started yet or are an experienced author, Julia McCutchen will guide you through this tried and tested step-by-step process for releasing your fears and writing what you are truly here to write. Drawing on an inspiring mix of perennial wisdom, psychological research and modern neuroscience, Julia teaches how to: - Apply the seven Core Principles for personal experience of transpersonal Truth, and emerge transformed and ready to write. - Align all aspects of yourself - body, emotions, mind and soul - to bring your whole self to the creative writing process. - Dive into deep creative flow and play with possibilities in the quantum realm of infinite potential. - Visit the Conscious Writing Sanctuary, a powerful inner space out of which timeless words flow freely. - Realize your full potential and effortlessly stand out from the crowd as you express yourself consciously and creatively as an author in the world.

Julia McCutchen is an author, intuitive mentor and the founder and creative director of the International Association of Conscious & Creative Writers (IACCW).

Today, Julia guides people to discover their true self and express their true voice - on the page and in the world. www.juliamccutchen.com and www.iaccw.com.

Writing Notes from the Universe, I know what it feels like when the words come through me, rather than from me; where they are my own, yet deeper; when the art of writing starts surprising you. Julia's Conscious Writing reveals how to reach the inner state which is outside space and time, to write that way consistently. If you have a message to share, read this book! -- Mike Dooley, creator of Notes from the Universe This extraordinary book about conscious writing deserves a place on the shelf next to Writing Down the Bones, Bird by Bird and The Artist's Way. Practical, profound, and insightfully written, McCutchen's guide to creative awakening through spiritual awareness is a must-read for anyone interested in finding their voice and learning how to use it. "True self-expression flows effortlessly from self-realization", the author reminds us. McCutchen, a former publishing executive, earned her wisdom the old-fashioned way, through decades of creative trial and error - including life-changing personal loss - which is why Conscious Writing has the ring of truth. I will read it again and again. -- Mark Matousek, author of Ethical Wisdom, When You're Falling, Dive, and Writing To Awaken Writing is only incidentally about words - it is more fundamentally about showing up, paying attention, being authentic - and growing conscious. All this Julia McCutchen explains beautifully in her new book Conscious Writing. Don't miss it! -- Eric Maisel, author of Coaching the Artist Within Julia McCutchen's beautiful new book Conscious Writing will guide you to discover and express your authentic voice - both on the page and in your life. It's a truly wonderful book that will sit next to Writing Down the Bones and other classics on writing, and will be well used by me! -- Robert Holden, author of Happiness NOW and Shift Happens! Human creativity has two components: logos and mythos. We scientists explain the creative process, the flow experience,and all that, but that's all logos. What the creative does with his/her creativity - the creative journey - is the unveiling of the all important mythos. How to travel your mythical journey consciously is the subject of Julia McCutchen's exciting book. Read and enjoy: this book will put you in readiness for your creative journey. I guarantee it. -- Amit Goswami PhD, author of Quantum Creativity and Quantum Economics The wonderful insights and practises in this book, inspired by the perennial wisdom of spirituality and grounded in cutting-edge scientific research, will guide both new and experienced writers to reach deeper into the secret source of creativity within and return with something truly special as a gift to the world. -- Tim Freke, author of The Mystery Experience Julia's own expansion of consciousness is here beautifully and brilliantly shared through her creative passion of writing. This refreshingly holistic approach will serve writers of all kinds in their quest to write from the heart with a true voice. And whilst she focuses on conscious writing, her clear, inspiring and practical guidance offers great and timely value for any and all creatively authentic expressions of the heart, mind and soul. Ultimately, this teaching applies to the wholeness of experiencing and embodying a fully conscious life. -- Dr Jude Currivan, cosmologist, healer and author of HOPE: Healing Our People & Earth A beautiful and profound exploration of the close connection between spirituality and creativity, full of practical exercises that will help to release your own creative potential and enrich your life as a whole. -- Steve Taylor PhD, author of Waking From Sleep and The Calm Center In an era of information overload, learning to communicate effectively is an essential skill. Sourcing this communication in soul and authenticity, and expressing it with consciousness and creativity is a gift - bestowed on both yourself and those you share it with. This delightful book is a trusted guide to helping you write with grace and inspiration. It can help break you free from eruditions exactitudes and strained similes, and lead you to find new juices for a jubilant jaunt into the next wave of your craft as a conscious writer. -- Marilyn Schlitz PhD, President Emeritus and Senior Fellow, Institute of Noetic Sciences and author of Death Makes Life Possible In Conscious Writing, Julia McCutchen presents a clear, elegant method for accessing your true voice and cultivating those key qualities that produce creative flow at will.

Conscious Writing unifies the fields of mindfulness, creativity and writing, and details the path that Julia has created through skilful synthesis of her meditative realization, writing success, publishing acumen and effective mentorship of other writers. The work you now hold is powerful, it is direct, and its exposition is revelatory of the very conscious creative process that Julia espouses. It provides rich resources for the working creative and for the spiritual practitioner alike. -- Tao Semko, cross-cultural authority on transformational yoga, mysticism and non-dual contemplative practices, co-founder UmaaTantra.com and TaoSemko.com A deeply heartfelt exploration of the writer's craft. -- Stephen Harrod Buhner, award-winning author of Ensouling Language Julia McCutchen's Conscious Writing presents a whole-self approach to writing, a way of "blending the soul and craft of writing".
