CREATIVE PRACTICEĀ JOURNALS
FocusingĀ Journal
So few of us know how to listen to and decode the wisdom in our bodies. Focusing psychotherapy, founded by psychotherapist Eugene Gendlin, involves holding open, non-judging attention to your internal knowing, which is experienced in the body but is not yet in words.
It is helpful to understand, that your body is always leaning into its next growth step, you just need to learn how to listen to and act upon it. Since an emerging felt sense is not yet known to your conscious mind, finding a description for your felt senses takes time.
Being with your emerging felt sense with non-pushing contact is a beautiful contemplative practice. For this reason, it is helpful to wait patiently with curiosity for your bodyās felt senses to shape into words, symbols, or pictures. You can use the open spaces in this guided journal to feel, muse, draw, and write down spontaneous words as they come.
Emotional AwarenessĀ Journal
It is common to feel numb, distracted, or out of touch with how you feel inside. Emotional awareness always begins by making contact with the sensations in your body. It is a nonverbal bodily āfelt-senseā form of knowing your feelings, not an intellectual understanding of your feelings.
You are not looking at yourself from the outside; rather, you are sensing in a bodily way what you are feeling from the inside. Bodily-felt senses first emerge creatively, usually as free-form sentences, poems, images, or symbols. It is possible to go deeper and deeper into your body for fresh, emotional information with the inquiries in this journal.
Once you know what you feel, you can reconnect to your deepest needs for well-being. If you easily abandon yourself with others, you will find this daily emotional check-in helpful. You can do this exercise in your journal once a day. This emotional check-in exercise invites your deeper self-knowing by repeating one question three times.
