Book Overview

The last time you whistled a tune or hummed a song-why did you choose that one? You may not consider yourself a musical person, but your little act of unintended music may be the key to unlocking within you a wealth of unsuspected creativity-a kind of creativity that goes way beyond music, too.

Lane Arye, PhD, a musician himself, focuses on the music that people do not intend to make. Using the highly regarded psychological model called Process Work, developed by Arnold Mindell, PhD, Arye has been teaching students around the world how to awaken their creativity, using music as the starting point, but including all art forms and ways of expression.

The unintentional appears at moments when some hidden part of us, something beyond our usual awareness, suddenly tries to express itself. If we start paying attention to what is trying to happen rather than to what we think should happen, we open the door to self-discovery and creativity. Sometimes what we regard as "mistakes" in self-expression are in fact treasures.

The book is rich with real-life stories, ideas, and practical techniques for unlocking creativity, which Arye dispenses with humor, insight, and enthusiasm.

An Inspirational Book!

This book is a constant source of inspiration for me. I reach for it sometimes when I am feeling stuck and want to wake up some awareness that may be trying to unfold. The exercises at the end of each chapter are so rich that they can be visited over and over and bring new discovery each time. I am an improvising musician, a body worker, and a Process Work student. I have never read a book that so lovingly explains the creative process and supports and values the deepest expressions of our soul through the process of opening to the unintentional sounds, dreams, schemes that are constantly around us trying to get our attention. This book has helped me grow and work and play and live. I recommend it to anyone looking for inspiration on their life's journey. I recommend it to musicians/artists that want to tap into their deepest resources and to individuals who want to say yes to the artist within.
