Declaring yourself an artist

Cameron harnesses the power of the words to create a creative reality. Simple deep declarations to stand up for who you really are.

peaceful reflections

Like another book that I reviewed by this author (Blessings: Prayers and Declarations for a Heartful Life) this book provides life affirming reflections written by the author. These reflections are religious in nature but are non sectarian, i.e., they are appropriate for all faiths: Christians, Jews, Moslems, etc. When you need spiritual reflections to help you connect with God, this peaceful book fills the bill. When you need thoughts to reaffirm your worth in the scheme of things, this book is for you. I recommend it.

A great tool

I love almost everything Julia Cameron has done. I read something from "Heart Steps" each day when I sit down to write. It invariably helps me feel centered & focused. It's best used in conjunction with some of the other tools Cameron has created, such as "The Artist's Way," the practice of morning pages & perhaps an audio edition of "Heart Steps" & /or "Blessings" in the car. I also love Cameron's brand of sprituality because it neither whacks non-Christians over the head with Christianity nor criticizes Christians--it's ideal for anyone independently seeking their own conception of a Higher Power, including those skeptical about traditional organized religion. Cameron's books & tapes also are ideal for creative people in 12 Step programs. "Heart Steps" is a wonderful little volume that can be savored over months as part of a daily practice.

Very worthwhile

A friend of mine had given me this book as a gift. Now I would gladly give it to all my friends. I have read the affirmations to friends and clients. I think this defintiely worth your time and effort.

Buy the Audio!

The audio version of this publication features readings from the book by the author and Tim Wheater, whose flute music plays hauntingly in the background. Use this tape frequently as your OWN positive affirmation by repeating after the authors. You will feel the impact immediately!
