People are crippled who function primarily with their left brain. Because of our tendency to emphasize the intellectual, some medical doctors now feel many of our illnesses are a result of our crippled right side. There is a doctor in Toronto who specializes in treating his patients by having them draw their illnesses on paper. Th1s they can do once they visualize the disease .in their minds. They then imagine how they would attack the disease and begin to do so through their drawings. It is a treatment involving right and left brain activity. If a patient has difficulty working this way, the doctor encourages that person to practise fantasizing, or to listen to music, to do anything which would counterbalance the conscious thinking. As I understand it, if I know that I am ill, the intensity of that thought can be fought with non thought activity. It is imperative that we lead creative lives. To say that only the artist need s to be creative is a misconception. In order for our minds and bodies to be healthy, we all need a good percefltage of our activities to involve our total being, which is what being creative is all about.
