Writing Heals!

Many times talking about issues can be difficult and painful. There are experiences which we cannot describe when we try to talk about them, either because they elicit shame, fear, or sadness. Here is where writing could become you ally and help you to go through those difficult experiences in order for you to start the healing process that the expression of them can bring.

Don’t worry about what or how to write… at the beginning everything is in disarray and mixed up, as your feelings or your emotional life could be, but with time your writing will help you to clarify and to give order to your thoughts and feelings. Writing can be difficult but with time it just gets better and then you can exclaim: “My heart is stirred by a noble theme, as I sing my ode to the king. My tongue is the pen of a nimble scribe.” Nevertheless, you have to remember that writing has a purpose and it is to help you to go through a process, so you have to make the effort to focus not only in what you want to say, but also in the many emotions, and feelings that it evokes.  If you, then, focus in this, you may reap the benefits of a well discerned experience which will guide you to have an objective perspective of your experiences.

Through writing the expression of feelings, clarification and structuration of ideas can become an excellent virtue, which in turn could lead us to peaceful mind and peaceful hearts.
