Hello friends,
Welcome to this writing meditation.
Please have a pen and paper with you as we move into a writing practice.
We are going to work with a series of writing prompts and questions that act as a niggle,
A nudge,
Even a nuisance to your consciousness.
All you have to do is write out the writing prompt and see what happens next.
Allow yourself to write easily and freely.
Try not to overthink or stop to read what you've written.
Don't worry about punctuation or grammar or spelling.
Just let the words spill out from you.
Remove all judgment as you write.
Keep your hand moving on the page and when you get stuck,
Just rewrite the writing prompt or mentally repeat the question to yourself again and go off on another tangent,
Even one that is oppositional to the writing you've already done.
See if you can write in different directions,
Answer the questions from many angles,
Enter through a range of doorways.
I will give you a series of writing prompts or questions and you'll have a few minutes to write into each one.
The writing practice will begin and end with a gong.
Writing prompts activate our deep inner awareness.
They are contemplative guides.
Some of the prompts are questions.
Remember that not all questions are asking for answers.
Some questions are placeholders for the soul.
You're not looking to solve a problem or resolve anything.
You're just seeking a thread,
A crack through which to enter an ongoing conversation with yourself.
Today's writing prompts are an exploration of where you're dwelling emotionally and where you'd like to stretch into,
How and in what ways you want to shift and change.
I will give you five prompts and you have two minutes to write into each one.
Are you ready?
Your first prompt is,
How do you want to feel?
Begin.
Begin.
Begin.

Your second prompt is,
How do you make other people feel?
Begin.

Your third prompt is,
How have you changed?
Begin.
Begin.

Your final prompt in this writing exercise is,
How far are you prepared to go?
Begin.
Begin.
Begin.
Begin.

Begin.
Begin.
Begin.
Begin.
Begin.
There is always there for you a doorway you just need to open when you begin to move your hand across the page.
