I have for a long time during a full moon written down a negative that I wanted to get rid of and then burnt it. I first did this at a ‘Drumming Circle’ and found it very good to do, especially when the piece of paper went into the flames.

I have notebooks of past journaling and your advice to burn / destroy our entries, sparked the inspiration to apply this idea in regards to existing expressive writings.. to clear and lighten up the load.
I wanted to share that, in case you have thoughts in this regard.

With Gratitude..

I started to do expressive writing straight after reading your post and it has been a great help me. Right from the first time I did it I benefited from a lighter feeling about life and more headspace. I have kept it up and did have a time when I felt a bit low and exhausted from my clearing out but I just took a break for a couple of days and then restarted. I am really grateful to you for bringing my attention to it. It is flexible, free and so accessible. I have a fire grate and love watching my writing go up in flames!

5 minutes is a great start, especially if it had a strong effect!

I will keep this going and thank you for the great instructions.

Thanks, Tyrone. And yes, burning or shredding the paper will help immensely. You may be surprised. Keep us posted!

A daily practice from now on. Sandie

You teach more than just Qigong. I’ve learned about expressive writing awhile ago but I didn’t burn everything I wrote. But I will start today. Thanks for the valuable info.
Tyrone
