HOW TO HEAL THROUGH WRITING

 

Allowing a little light to shine on your thoughts and ideas can provide clarity, so dust off your notebook and put pen to paper to receive the benefits of healing!

​

How to get started:

 

1. You’ll need a clean sheet of paper, a pen, and a quiet place for 60-minutes. You might not need a full hour.

 

• A word processor is an acceptable substitution to a pen. However, writing by hand is preferable.

 

2. Empty your mind of your preconceived ideas. Part of the reason you’ve been unable to focus on your healing journey is your way of thinking, Queen. We limit ourselves far too much. The answers often lie in places we never bother to look, so keep an open-mind.

 

3. Write, “What's still hurting me?” at the top of the page. This sets the stage and informs your subconscious of the areas in your life that need illumination.

 

4. Write whatever comes to mind. You might think, “This is a dumb idea.” That’s fine. Write it down. Avoid judging any of your thoughts. (Expect that it will take 15-minutes to rid yourself of your mental clutter.)

 

5. Stick with the process. At some point, you’ll want to quit or do something else instead. There’s no reason to be fearful of learning the truth. Fight through the discomfort.

 

6. Continue writing until you find it. How will you know? You’ll know. You’ll probably even cry. Just keep writing until you’re certain you’ve found it.

 

• Go with the answer that provides the greatest emotional reaction.

 

Ensure that others won’t interrupt you during the process. Any significant interruption would require starting the process over from the beginning. Most people who attempt this exercise will quit before reaching the end. Be one of the few that completes the process.

 

Give it a chance. You have nothing to lose.
