| Introduction | Da Vinci had specific techniques that he used to stimulate his intelligence and heightened creative thinking. He was ambidextrous and could write and paint with both hands at the same time. Another of Da Vinci's more famous techniques for inducing creative reverie was his practice of looking for recognisable patterns or images in the ashes of his fireplace. Leonardo da Vinci used notebooks to record his ideas, thoughts and observations. Notebooking is now recognised as a tremendous mind stimulant. It seems that by recording your prime thought and observations you affirm to your mind that they are valuable to you -- and this encourages it to do more. It also frees your mind to expand on ideas, because the origins and subsequent steps of the thought are written down and objectified Leonardo Da Vinci left us a code of four principles to stimulate and encourage creative genius: 1. Study the science of art. 2. Study the art of science. 3. Develop all your senses especially your ability to see. 4. Study all the above in the light of the idea that everything connects, in some way, to everything else. Today I live, tomorrow I die. |
