Journaling and Meditation - N.A. - (Fayetteville, NC)

Writing can be a powerful meditation practice, helping us to integrate our active mind with the mind of meditation. By using it as a process of inquiry, it can help us track our progress in loosening attachments and habitual states of mind even as it sharpens our ability to attend to the present moment. As little as ten minutes of writing practice a day can reap great benefits. Those who have a regular meditation practice can simply add the writing immediately following it, and those who find it difficult to do traditional meditation will find this practice fruitful as the writing gives your busy mind something to do, curbing your restlessness as you cultivate awareness of your overall experience. Writers will particularly find this practice beneficial, as the resulting free writes will be rich with ideas and pictures to seed further work. All you need to get started is a timer, notebook and pen. Join us for an evening of rejuvenation as Jennifer guides us through an important meditation class.
