What is Sacred Writing?

Writing is an act of power that transcends the literal application of words on paper. It has the potential to open one up to the often hidden depths of ever-evolving beauty that is the core of each of us. It can wake you up, crack you open and guide you gracefully back to the center. The opportunities to know one's Self and connect with Source through the act of writing are endless.

Sacred Writing is the use of writing as a way to connect to the sacredness in one's self, to touch the Spirit and to hear the voice of the heart. Sacred Writing creates a road for the voice of the heart to travel, clarifying the way to create life with our Spirit leading. It can tap into the truth and illuminate the mystery that lies in each of us. It opens us to the subtle nuances of the movements of our own energy and allows for the development of relationship with Self and with the world.

Sacred Writing can also explore our sense of the sacred, especially in those dark places we often choose not to look at. It allows us to explore our quest for significance and purpose while providing a literal road for the application of our own personal experiences. It can reveal the greater You, touching the deepest recesses of your being, bringing forward all the possibilities of who you can become.

Sacred Writing is the expression of creative energy in literal form and incorporates things such as creative play, collage, color, physical movement, and group interaction to stir and inspire the creative spirit.

Creative energy is at the core of who we are. It is the driving force guiding every one of us to keep breathing, helping us to create the next moment. The expression of that creative force can take many forms and is as unique as each one of us. Allowing room to feel that creative energy flow through many outlets can deeply connect us to our own writing and in turn our writing improves. Honoring the way that creative energy chooses to express itself in any given moment is as important as staying committed to the work itself.

There are many ways of pursuing the path to personal freedom. Sacred Writing is one way to connect with the voice of the heart and let it flow. Whatever choices are made regarding creating a writing practice; daily time, monthly devotional, gardening journal, food diary, etc., there is power in words. How we choose to express the words and the power they represent is entirely up to the divine uniqueness that is each of us.
