Opening the Doors Through Writing
Meditation starts with a breath and a writing meditation starts with putting your pen to the paper and letting it flow.
TIPS FOR JOURNALING
- Write at a consistent time of the day, first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening for example.
- Make it easy by keeping a journal close by and a pen.
- Start writing whatever is on your mind. If you feel blocked use a writing prompt or begin with your own question to open an internal dialogue, for example, "How am I feeling?". Internal dialogue should be respectful, setting down the inner critic as best you can.
- Don't worry about the topic, let it flow freely even if it seems non-sensical. Sometimes, you are writing to get thoughts or memories out but you may not be ready to process the thoughts fully. Looking back it may make more sense later. .
- Write before a meditation to help clear your thoughts and make more room for peaceful reflection. Or, after a meditation describing how you felt during the meditation or an insight that surfaced. Your insight could become the prompt for the next day's journaling.
Here is a special writing prompt from Meditation 719 and Ghost Factory.
