Mindful Writing
This free-writing practice is a great way to bring awareness to and organize your thoughts and feelings. You can gain a clearer understanding of your mental blocks and move past limiting mindsets. The goal of this experience is to let the words flow out so that they can be witnessed from a compassionate place.
