stone journal

1. Write using the erasable pen provided.  (Only ever use erasable pens with your stone journal)
2. Write down your thoughts and how you are feeling.
3. Notice how you feel seeing a clean, blank page in front of you again.
4. To erase, simply apply water to the cloth (provided) so it is slightly damp (not dripping wet). Wipe the cloth over your words. Allow the page to dry before closing it.
5. If you want other coloured pens, you can purchase PILOT FRIXION ERASABLE PENS from any stationery shop and use them with your stone journal also. Never use a normal pen.

Warning:  You may feel a lot calmer after completing this exercise.

Note:  You can also make the words disappear by using a hairdryer, blow warm air on the page (not too close) and watch the words fade away.

Writing is a wonderful tool - especially when challenging thoughts or emotions are present. In this therapeutic writing exercise, the page acts as a filter. 

The first part tends to your human self - writing what you are thinking gets it out of your mind and onto the page,

Writing what you are feeling allows it to flow through your body and onto the page, 

Then you can look at it from a distance, seeing it as being separate from yourself, not as something that is a part of you,

Because you are not your thoughts,

You are not your feelings.

By acknowledging what you have written - you get to determine it’s truth (or lack of), 

it’s validity (or lack of), 

it’s kindness (or lack of) and 

it’s worth (or lack of).

Our thoughts are constantly changing and are often not true… sometimes they are not even kind towards ourselves.

Our emotions are constantly changing - and are often effected by our thoughts. 

Writing helps process what we are feeling and thinking, it helps to transform thoughts and feelings into something different.

Usually the words that come from our human self and subconscious self don’t need to be kept - we don’t need to be attach to them, once they are realised and acknowledged, they can be discarded.

This practice can help you connect with yourself on different levels.  

You can use it to discover and find your true self as you sift your way through the mess and chaos to reveal what is at the core. 

Once your thoughts and feelings are recognised and acknowledged,

keep writing, what is in the subconscious may flow out.  

Doing this can allow us the gift to see and understand ourselves, our situation or any problems from a different perspective, one which can offer clarity.  Especially if you continue writing so words and wisdom from your soul is accessed.
