Expressive Journaling

Expressive Journaling is a very intuitive and objective way of journaling.  Compared to normal journaling it’s like peeling layers of an onion to get to a deeper place of understanding as opposed to journaling about your day or week.  The layers are snippets of whatever comes to your mind which after a slight pause will reveal the next thing and the next thing until eventually you have a fuller picture and an empty mind on that subject.  My Deep 6 Question Wound Finder Journal will be available soon.

The final part is the somatic practice you want to choose.  On this site I have shared a forgiveness guided meditation.  Forgiving ourselves for being hard on ourselves in most cases.

It’s important to go at your own pace and create a relaxing space where you can’t be disturbed. You do not need to keep the journal or share it with anyone.  Sometimes it’s helpful to throw it away.
