The next workshop begins on the new moon – June 19th. Get the early bird discount by registering before May 31st. To register for my next three-week session go to my little “shop” and click on my workshop, “Writing the Energetic Body – Shedding Inhibition Workshop – June 19 to July 9”.
Also, I’m having a moving sale – so check out my cd – Journey through the Chakras. It’s now $5.00 for a limited time (normally it’s $7.00).
I am also going to do some moon magic – a little letting go, a little intention setting, and a little gratitude. Of course, it’s good to take stock on a regular basis—and have some gratitude everyday—but today is especially big. (My friend Robert Alvarez created a lovely post regarding the moon and the power of “no” just this morning. Check Robert’s post out).
Originally posted on This Is Who I AM: Today is a day of firsts for me. Today is Tuesday, May 1, 2012. In virtually every System of Numerology that I have ever used or read about, the Number One (1) represents Creation, Initiation, New Beginnings. The first of any month is an excellent day to…
No worries! The writing prompts and movement are geared to stimulate the chakra we are focusing on. I will ask you to write for a specific period of time. During the writing period, the only requirement of you is to write until time is up.
There is no wrong way to do this. You may write any way you like. Don’t worry about grammar, spelling, or punctuation. They do not matter here. I always go back to what my first creative writing teacher Suzanne McConnell (and many teachers after her)* taught me—there is only one rule, keep your hand(s) moving. If you feel stuck, keep writing anyway. Try going back to the prompt and write it out until other words arise, then write those—or, repeat the last word you wrote again and again until new words appear—or, write, “I am stuck,” or “I can’t think of anything,” as long as you keep your hand moving. Writing is physical, the words will move through your body and come out of your hand—just keep it moving.
Yesterday, I asked in my post Relational Power of Writing: Have you ever asked yourself what your fears are about writing? Well, to go a little deeper with that question, try this: Take a few deep inhales and exhales. Inhaling . . . shrug your shoulders up to your ears . . . exhaling . . […]
You don’t have to share your work with anyone, but if you are “dying” to tell a story and are afraid, chances are there is a part of you that is suffering for not letting it out.
Are you ready to let go of your intellectual understanding of what is “socially acceptable writing” and allow yourself to really say what you need to say?
Are you ready to let writing move through your body, into your energetic being, and trust what it’s saying to you?
Are you ready to release memories (or make up new ones), blocks, and sticky spots?
Are you ready for non-judgmental feedback, compassionate communication, and encouragement?
If you said “yes” to any of the questions above, then you are ready to participate in Writing the Energetic Body.
My next Writing the Energetic Body online workshop starts on May 1st. Come on and get writing with me!
