Writing & New Age

Lesson 5: Uniting With The Inner Source.

Section 5-3: How Do We Develop The Inner Source?

Combining with the resources of goal orientation, journals, guided imagery, brainstorming, stress acknowledgement, and self-hypnosis we can arrive at the point where we learn to develop the inner source.

Earlier in this lesson series, I inquired what you believed the inner source to be for you? Recollect your initial thoughts; have those ideas altered at all so far in this series? If so, how? If not, why? Please note your responses in your journals.

Use your journals to note your ideas and concepts while you are developing writing enhancement goals. As you journalize the feelings that you have regarding each area of this lesson series the depth of range in focus toward your own individual inner source will increase. It will be slow at first, but with time, you will begin to understand the magnitude of your own inherent abilities to tap into your psyche.

Now, you are or wondering, how these exercises apply to writing-as I have presented no exactas in reference to "writing" per se. For that, I apologize, however, this lesson series is to Enhance Your Writing Performance Using Guided Imagery. Guided imagery is actualized through a combination of mind-science applications stated earlier to be used by great sportsmen, academian leaders, and various professional leaders. The belief that writing is allocated solely to the English major is a fallacy. Many great writers have not achieved English professorships prior to their successes as writers. They have, though, maintained a "gift" for delivery and acquired an ability to complete their projects. Then, there are those of us, who live somewhat complicated lives. Have the ability to deliver our message, but run into the wall of active mind intervention, heavy workloads, day-to-day stress factors, concentration breaks, etc. These hindrances remove us from the moment, cloud our thinking, deliver additional stress, and sometimes thwart the completion of projects.

Again, journalizing your goals, sub-goals, the guided imagery exercises you engage in, brainstorming in public locales to gain new insights and feed your inner voice, carrying hand recorders for instantaneous ideas, utilizing your design-idea books to develop new plots, calendaring and scheduling writing plans, using self-hypnosis to delve deeper into your psyche, and then setting down to write from a secure base of insight will result in literary success. This may sound like an intense amount of effort and at first, it may in fact be. With time though, journaling will become second nature. Brainstorming will become something you do naturally when you go out, asking questions and gaining new insights will be natural. Using guided imagery will become a daily interlude as common as brushing your teeth. Self-hypnosis will too. At times, guided imagery and self-hypnosis will seem to be simultaneous tasks, as they are alike in essence. Scheduling may be an adjustment and working from a design-idea book can seem like work, but we are not saying writing isn't work.

The remaining sections of this course delve deeper into the basics presented thus far. You can utilize what we have covered so far and further your writing enhancement. These remaining lessons present auxiliary resources to tap into your inner voice for literary enhancement.
