Hi, I had the privilege of teaching Sacred Journaling at Caroline’s CMED Institute from its inception in 2003. (If you’ve taken her online Sacred Contracts course, you may have seen videos of some of my talks.) I learned a lot from teaching thousands of CMED students how to journal, and how to apply journaling to their spiritual work, whether with Sacred Contracts, Archetypes, or healing. Recently, I’ve been teaching Journaling as an online class that runs for 8 weeks and leads you through all the basics of Journaling from a spiritual perspective. I cover the various kinds of journals, including Dream Journaling; how to get started; how to blast through mental blocks and journal when you think you’re “blank”; and why journaling isn’t “narcissistic,” among other topics. Journaling can be a great comfort and a way to communicate with your inner spirit. But it can also help heal past traumatic events and feelings of loss. I’ll discuss the latest scientific research showing how journaling can strengthen certain immune cells, decrease the symptoms of asthma and rheumatoid arthritis, help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and spur creative thinking. It seems so simple, yet many of us get caught up in feeling self-conscious or anxious, or simply at a loss how to begin and keep going. In this class, we approach journaling as a combination of creative writing and spiritual practice. Our explorations will cover the specific art of dream journaling, comprising basic guidance about lucid dreaming, and learning helpful keys to remember and record your dreams—even if you think you dont dream. Because dreams are a direct communication from your unconscious mind, learning to keep a dream journal will help open you to the riches of the unconscious while fully awake. Thats only part of the process, however. Although journaling is an essentially private practice, you will gain support from others in the class who may be encountering some of the same challenges you face in making journal writing a daily practice. Best of all, it takes place in a secure Website, so you don’t have to be anywhere at a specific time to get the teachings or do the journaling assignments. The class begins on Monday, September 15, and runs for 8 weeks. It’s reasonably priced and allows you to work at your own pace via email and the “online classroom” where I’ll post a new teaching and suggested assignment each week for you to read at your convenience. For more detailed information and an 8-week course outline, please read on. To register online, please go here.
