Welcome back to daily breath. This is the Bach Chopra. We've talked about how to feel our way into the shadow.

Today I'd like to offer up another tool to trigger shadow energies.

And this is called automatic writing.

It's been done for hundreds of years.

Here are the steps.

One, take a piece of paper and start writing the

sentence in the following way. I am really feeling, Dash in the blanks right now I am really feeling impatient right now

now I am really feeling angry right now. I am really feeling resentment

right now. I am really feeling guilty or ashamed right now. I am really feeling

depressed right down. Complete that sentence. Fill in the blank with any feeling

that comes up, preferably a negative

feeling in the examples I gave to you. That would be step number two, fill in the blanks. Step number three would be, don't stop,

write as fast as you can, putting down any words

that you want to stream out of you without any editing.

Soon you'll realize that through these triggers you're giving yourself permission to express yourself to yourself but the more important aim here is to get at a forbidden feeling.

That's why the words don't matter.

Once you access the feeling, the real work of release can begin. Access the feeling beyond the words.

Try it now.

Join me tomorrow for Friday meditation.
