Hi Ann,
Bard has "The Right to Write." I love that book. I'd like to be more consistent at journaling. It has helped.

Jim

    Actually, this was a great point.  The act of stream of consciousness 
writing is known as Journaling or Morning Papers.  It should be done each 
morning for about 10 minutes.  So don't think about what you are writing, 
just let it flow.  If you cannot think of what to write, just pick a word 
and continue writing it for 10 minutes.  It opens the channels of creativity 
as well as releasing emotions either current or past.  Don't worry about 
spelling, presentation, etc. You never need read it again.
A few books on this subject are:
The Artist's Way and The Writer's Way by Julia Cameron

Hi,
It was right in front of me, and because I had some music in my mind, I sat 
down and just played my keyboard when I went home from work, and decided not 
to judge myself if I played badly. In a little bit, I'm just going to open 
up a program and write whatever comes into my mind to clear some stuff out.

When I'm stressed, I play with my son, grin.

Hi,
I could use a different kind of stress relief. I'm cranky lately because
the company where I consult is replacing me after 18 years. I still have
a job, though. I need to move on emotionally.

    Earthing is probably off topic for this list but I just want to say
that since I began sitting with my feet in the earth every day, my knees
no longer hurt! Also, my fibromyalgia is much,much better.
     More on topic, I have a lot of info on reducing stress if anyone is
stressful about writing. Ann

David Wolf rules!

That is one of the simple things anyone can do in their yards or in the
park, not here in Omaha at the moment since it is roaring ice out there,
but even just putting your hand on a tree for 15 minutes will do amazing
things.

I applaud you going out there like that and doing those work shops.

I'm still getting cold feet doing the QT workshops. I've done some but
that is like 12 hours with people. It's rough on me being that social
for that long. LOL

However, I've done some talks on Energy, how to find it, use it, move
it, and what your energy body is about.

I have some clearing techniques that work amazingly well.

Your book sounds awesome!
Prosperity to all!

Atty
