October Writing Challenge - Channeled Writing
It's finally October and with the season of turning inward, I notice myself and those around me seeking a more intuitive daily routine, ritual, or a deeper connection to self. One of the perfect ways to do this is through channeled writing practice.
Have you ever tried channeled writing to gain more clarity and integration? Channeled writing is just a snazzy way of describing a process of connecting with an energy (life force, spirit, emotions) beyond yourself and letting that wisdom come through your hands onto the page. It's nothing fancy and anyone can do it.
I give channeled writing prompts to my clients ALL THE TIME because it can unearth so much inner wisdom. Think of channeled writing like a mini self-therapy session.
Channeled Writing Can Help You:
Bring clarity to questions you've felt lost on
Find a depth of awareness around unacknowledged feelings and thoughts
Build a sense of self-trust that you have the answers you need
Feel connected to life and spirit
Attune to confidence, courage, and a feeling of having your own back
Access previously unintegrated parts of you
Feel at ease in your body
Feel supported in your desires
How Do You Do It?
It's simple.
Grab a pen and paper.
Set aside 5-15 mins.
Think of a topic you're feeling lost on, questions that are unanswered, or a desire.
Look below at the list of energies, parts of you, or concepts that you can write to - choose one that will be helpful for this topic (or do the full 30-day challenge with me!)
Write a short note to that energy/quality
Embody that energy/quality and write a free-form response back to yourself from that energy (See an example below)
How To Get The Most Out Of Channeled Writing
With channeled writing, it's important to let your mind step aside for a moment. Get yourself out of thinking mode and into your heart, your body. Don't worry about what's on the page, just keep your hand moving. If it feels silly, or weird, that's ok! You're doing it right, so long as you keep pen to paper and let it flow through you.
October Channeled Writing Challenge!
I'm committing to doing channeled writing for 30 days and I'd love it if you joined me! It's only 5 minutes a day, which is less than 3 hours of your life over the course of a month. I know I certainly need some consistency and accountability, so let's do it together. Each day we'll work with different energy and see what emerges (see below for suggestions for each day in October). If any of these don't resonate, do it your own way!
I'll be sharing about my own process on Instagram here, and I'd love for you to tell me how it goes for you too!
Wishing you a depth of wisdom and clarity,
Jaz
