Journalling

Have you ever tried ​journalling?

Writing is a wonderful meditative practice – either on its own, in addition or combined with other forms of meditation.

At times, when you feel that finding that inner quiet is challenging, writing your thoughts can be very helpful to express feelings and to quiet your mind. You may find that in some instances, it is the only way in which you can let go. There is something to be said about a few minutes of open and un-censored expression on paper!

If you are wanting to experiment with this form of meditation, a good way to get the flow is to simply write the first thing that comes to mind. Try not to judge what you write and keep an open mind. If you incorporate a little slow breathing, the experience can open up to many words just flowing from your pen.

Keeping a meditation journal is comforting, as you will always have a place to go to, to spend time journalling your thoughts. Remember to ignore any negative thoughts about whether your writing is good enough or interesting.

To help you get started, I’ve listed a few writing prompts. I urge you to give this a try 😊
10 Writing prompts to help you with journalling:

1. Right now, I am…
2. The colour ……… comes to mind
3. I am feeling…
4. The dream I had last night was…
5. If I could do anything today I would…
6. If I could talk using poetry, I would say…
7. I am love
8. The sun always shines on…
9. Today, my dear you are blessed…
10. When I meditate, my body feels…

 
A few tips…

• Don’t censor anything you write.
• Begin with some slow breathing.
• Write continuously until you feel that the flow has ceased for the time being.
• When you finish writing, take a few deep breaths and reflect on your writing.
• Come back to this practice whenever you feel the need to express some thoughts and have some peaceful time to yourself.
