Flow Writing

In today's session, Sarah Blondin will introduce you to the practice of Flow Writing. During this practice, you will write continuously for 10 minutes without stopping your pen to think, edit or contemplate. The aim of flow writing is to get beyond the sensored mind, the critical mind. Once you get past your inner 'editor', you begin to get in touch with what is really going on for you in your life. Don't worry if you think you don't have anything to say. Just let yourself flow.

This was so helpful to get me started on my first attempt at flow writing. Thank you for providing the prompt. I thought I'd really struggle to write continuously and unedited but the words seemed to pour out of me. I'm unsure of the next stage however, do I read back on what I've written? Reflect on the thoughts and feelings or is this more a means of getting the thoughts out to create space. I guess there's no wrong or right way. Huge thank you for sharing this and getting me started with flow writing 🫶🏻

I tried this one today. I do write a bit sometimes when my body feels it needs to, but this was a new way of seeing it.

Something that i wrote and was a bit surpriser by, was that i wrote alot about control/gripping and to live in that state of mind for years day in and day out. That theres nothing wrong about that, to live in that space - it is actually a natural state of mind for a traumatised human being. To gain/take control because once you didnt, but to also see that to allow myself to let go, surrendering in all i do - from going up in the morning, releasing thru the day, letting myself be here - and flow instead of that holding on as a ”hand fist” damn that is a skill, and i feel very peaceful, steady and grounded by that. It feels good to just let life do its thing, and what a relief(!!) that everything is not within my control 😂😝😊 thank you so much!

I wrote a whole poem I didn't expect to come out of me, thank you so much. Hope to see more writing prompts like this❤️

Thank you Sarah! It's beautiful to have so much to write about 🙏

That sounded like it was going to be tough, but it did “flow!”
