Journaling.
From the cultures we come from, we tend to want to “heal” primarily through intellectual processes. Taking time to learn new things, and changing how we think. There is nothing inherently wrong with this. However… we know that it is not only in the brain where we need to necessitate change. It is often in the lived experiences of emotion and body-motion that healing truly percolates and transforms. This is why each month you will receive three different healing exercise options. One will be targeted to your brain, one towards your body, and one one towards your “heart.” The good news about journaling… is that it access all three types of processes.
Physiological
Psychological
Emotional
Journaling counts as all three ;)
When you “journal,” remember there is no “right or wrong.” This is not the type of journaling that is meant for your descendants to read some day. It does not need to be grammatically correct. It doesn’t need to be written in complete sentences. It can be a brainstorming exercise. It can be done through an artistic or poetic format. The sky and your creativity are the limit here…
