# 4 creativity

Creativity and the demand for transformation are embedded in the very fabric of our universe.

transformation

Transformation requires a willingness to challenge your basic beliefs about who you

  • are. We must have the faith

to trust responses and sensations that we can’t fully

  • understand. Traumatized

people must let go of all kinds of beliefs and preconceptions in order to complete the journey… —Peter Levine
