Prayer in my pocket

Or how to pay attention
photography by Cynthia Berg, 2017

In this episode, I share a simple tactic for reminding myself to pay attention and write, inspired by a poem by Naomi Shihab Nye called Prayer in my Boot. And I read you a bit of my own prayer from a little something I wrote back in 2017.

I hope you’ll be inspired to create your own kind of prayer and share it with us. xo

Insight Writing® is a practice of allowing your creative unconscious energy to roam free on the page. It’s spontaneous, messy and vulnerable.  

To get beyond the head and into the heart and soul requires a kind of permission slip – permission to bypass cleverness and the inner editor, to write about what's really true and Say YES to the words that are coming instead of searching for a better story. 

The most enjoyable result of trusting this process of writing is learning something new about yourself and developing a healing sense of being fully expressed, a few things most of us lose touch with as we grow into serious adults.
