Ocean Writing: The Art of Finding Your Authentic Self Through Water & Writing
Description
For most people, life is busy and frequently chaotic and at times we find our “duty-ridden” good selves adapting to the needs of others causing us to become more and more alienated from our true selves. We find the gap widening between the “outward” presentation of ourselves and the “inward” self that we have betrayed.
Over the years, we’ve abandoned our hopes, dreams, and aspirations. We’re finally ready to face the truth: We have become the subject of someone else’s plot instead of the author of our own. At best we are discontent, restless, weary and discouraged. We know that deep inside, life was meant to be much more than we are experiencing.
This is a book for those women and men who are ready to reclaim the lost parts of themselves – the parts they abandoned long ago, the parts that have been in isolation.
Through a series of guided writing exercises, Michelle Kulp, bestselling author and teacher, will help you:
Get in touch with and express your deepest feelings, thoughts and ideas;
Sort out the experiences of your life;
Define your dreams, visions and goals;
Name your struggles;
Take a look at your creative blocks and ways we sabotage ourselves;
Examine the many abandoned rooms in the mansion of our minds;
Find purpose and meaning in our lives;
Reconnect to our Authentic Self;
After filling up two writing journals on separate trips to the ocean while on vacation with her children, Michelle Kulp, realized that her writing was much different when she was near the “sounds, sights and smells of the ocean” than when she wasn’t. She found her writing to be “deeper, richer, more authentic and much more expressive.”
She also discovered that, Alex Haley, author of Roots, would board an Ocean Liner when he had writer’s block or wanted to get his creative juices flowing. In fact, much of his writing was done while he was near the water.
Water is expansive. Water heals.
Water soothes our soul, aligns our rhythms with nature’s rhythms and helps us access deeper parts of ourselves.
This Ocean Writing Journal is designed to gently guide you back to your authentic self and reconnect you to your deep wisdom within through guided writing exercises and re-creating the sights and sounds of being at the Ocean.
