free form writing

hi dear ones,

this is one of the most incredible tools I have found over the years, and am currently doing this for 30 minutes everyday (since January 1st this year).

John-Roger created this technique over thirty years ago, and he includes a detailed description of it in his book ‘Spiritual Warrior: The Art of Spiritual Living’. following is a detailed description of the free form writing process taken from this book, and will give you everything you need to experiment with this tool yourself. and if you do want more information, you can purchase the book from ww.msia.org/store.

and if you’re in Los Angeles, PTS (Peace Theological Seminary & College of Philosophy) do run free workshops on free-form writing, and the next one is Wednesday February 18th at 7.30PM. go to pts.org for info.

free form writing is a tool used to clear unconscious blocks, and as we release these unconscious inner disturbances we can experience amazing shifts: in breaking bad habits, in clearing obsessive behaviors, or in letting go of thoughts or feelings that we don’t want but that seem to follow us around like bad smells :) often it will feel like a great relief or a sense that a great weight has been lifted.

how to do free-form writing
1. sit down with a pen and paper. make sure you have privacy, and it’s a good idea to burn a candle while doing this process
2. just write. this is a process of writing whatever comes into your mind, without editing, thinking about it, analyzing it, doing anything with it – just whatever thoughts come into your mind, write them down. if you can’t think of anything to say write ‘i can’t think of anything to write’. if you’re feeling frustrated write ‘this is so stupid, this is so frustrating, i don’t know why i’m doing this’. perhaps what comes up doesn’t make sense, that’s ok, just write it ‘the purple elephant is not supposed to be here, i don’t understand why he always comes by when it rains’. this is a free-form process, so just keep in the flow of the thoughts coming forward, and write them down, and keep writing them down until the time you have decided to stop.
3. when you’re finished DO NOT READ IT. this is very important, rip it up and either burn it or flush it down the toilet. doing this is part of the releasing process so you must burn or flush what you write.
4. after you’ve finished make sure you move or stretch a little bit, and drink some water
5. never share what you have written with others, and is why we suggest you do this in private
6. start with 15 minutes or so and build up to writing for an hour, optimally 2 hours
