Enhancing CreativityOur ability to imagine and to create is one of human nature's most precious gifts. It is the means by which the ugly is made beautiful, the impossible made possible. It is the very reason Mankind has achieved the material success that he has. In my opinion, to be experiencing and expressing your own ability to create is to truly start feeling and fulfilling your purpose in this world. Many of us believe we are not creative, or are not using our creativity, and I know that it's easy to use more - I've proved it!How Can We Deliberately Develop Our Creativity? Most people
use the creative ability intuitively or unconsciously. However,
they may find that the inspiration can come (at 3am in the morning!),
or go (writer's block) with what can be regarded as having a
slim chance of returning. A recent major scientific discovery
shows that the creative state occurs in a particular brain wave
state called Theta. This brain
wave state can be deliberately or consciously trained, and developed.
Your left, analytical brain gets "out of the way" and your right,
creative brain takes over in this state. In the Life Skills Seminar we enhance creativity by teaching and practising the following skills: The ability to consciously relax any time, anywhere A complete scientific explanation of how the brain works The ability to develop focused concentration The ability to develop specific Mind/Body exercises for developing creativity Proof that you are able to perform these skills through the use of Bio-Feedback equipment. You May Ask "How Effective Are These Techniques?"How about I let some of my seminar participants explain that to you? I
was introduced to Sandy's work 2 years ago when a friend gave
me a copy of Piece of Mind. When I read it I was naturally
impressed with the ideas and techniques of being able to improve
your ability to focus and deliberately control your subconscious
mind. Since your subconscious mind is both the store house and
controller of your personality, self esteem, self image, self
confidence, habits and memory, understanding the process by
which it works is very important. Not just as a method of improving
your ability to act (character absorption) but also yourself
as a person. I was grateful to have the opportunity to complete
Sandy's Life Skills Seminar (the workshop based upon the book) and highly recommend it to
anyone seriously concerned about developing effective techniques
for improving their acting ability and their personal life. Martin Henderson, NSW Sandy's Note: You may recognize Martin from his various TV acting roles these being Shortland Street (NZ) Echo Point, Sweat and Big Sky. Martin did my course as part of a process he is taking to relearn his acting craft and is current studying in New York. I would like to wish him every success for his future and look forward to one day seeing him on the "big screen".  During
a recent CALM Life Skills
Seminar in Melbourne (Creative Accelerated Learning Methods),
conducted by Sandy MacGregor, Sandy showed us how to tap into
our creative selves through a very specific meditation routine
guided by him. We had already learned how to build and access
our "Peaceful Place", the Peaceful Place we create in our subconscious,
and from there we went deeper into the dreamlike state - the
Theta state. Wow! Suddenly the room, the sounds, the people
around me disappeared and I was alone, seeing only a part of
a novel in progress that I was seriously having trouble with. That part of the plot was all spread out beneath me. My hero and heroine became alive, they "told" me what they wanted to do, how they wanted their story written. I sat up and started writing, without much conscious awareness of what I was doing. My hand found my paper and pen and I mapped a mind chart of the "goings-on" of my hero and heroine. I could feel that it was right. I was writing without stress. As I reached the end of what my subconscious was telling me, I found the seminar still going on around me, people were doing other things and I was scribbling away, with Sandy trying to attract my attention and Victor, our "music-maestro", looking at me strangely. Well, I had been somewhere, and found something. Now I know what that was. It was the power of subconscious thought and it works! Now when I sit down to write, it is a joy and so very soothing. I won't say it's easy, writing is a learned skill, but what I want to write about is in my subconscious mind, just waiting for me to find it. The world around me goes away. I don't hear anything or feel any stress. Distractions fade away and I am alone in a very private world, a world of stories and poems, sometimes some forgotten French verbs! Yes, it is all there waiting to be used. All I have to say to myself is: "Hi, let's do it!" - and we, my inner spirit and I, do it. Learning to use the subconscious mind, the inner spirit we all have, becomes easier with practise, and I can most sincerely recommend this method to all. Jay Beckley, VIC  In 1992 I attended a two-day workshop with Sandy MacGregor,
seeking out an increment in my level of self-awareness. At Sandy's
workshop I was encouraged to identify some goals and through
Sandy established a method by which I could achieve those goals.
My two goals were, one to become established in my artistic
style and thereafter proceed to a one-man art exhibition; and
two to construct a 25 foot steam launch. Within a matter of
months my artistic style was found to be established and on
approaching Sydney's leading contemporary art gallery, I had
a one-man exhibition appointed for the ensuing year. I eventually
proceeded to my third one-man exhibition, which was held in
January 1996 at the Holdsworth Gallery in Sydney. The matter
of the steam launch presented some most serious difficulties,
which included finding the unique timber necessary for the hull,
without demolishing a further forest to find an appropriate
steam engine, boiler and thereafter ship-right. All of these
demands promptly fell into place and I have the engine and boiler
in hand and the boat should be completed in 12 months. Sandy
did not raise one finger to assist me in any of these projects,
however he certainly demonstrates how to set goals and to achieve
the realisation of those goals. Gibson Owen, NSW So What is the Next Action Step that You Can Take?CALM makes suggestions on how you can develop your skills in dealing with Enhancing Creativity using Sandy MacGregor's low cost Tapes, Books, CDs, Videos and Seminars which have been utilised by thousands of people successfully since 1990.
