Do You Want to Feel Your Soul Smile? (with Writing exercise)

(Originally Posted 6/22/15)

Today I’m offering something fun, freeing and creative.  And if you’re anything like me, it just might make your soul smile. Aren’t you curious what that feels like?

I took an acting class, where the teacher gave us a sentence and then for the next minute or so we had to free right starting with her sentence, using a stream of consciousness, allowing our soul to speak.

Writing my free write today, I started with the intention, “What shall I free write for my blog?” Then this lovely “make no sense” but “make so much deep sense” piece of writing came to fruition.  I got to feel my soul smile.

I’m posting mine for you as an example, so you can see that there is to be no judgment. And maybe there is a cool message in it just for you!

When you write, you can just write for fun or you can start with an intention. “What do I need to know? What does the world need to know? How can I play with my inner child?” Whatever you want! It’s your couple minutes of fun. The exciting part is that playing like this helps you get out of your mind and into your spirit. The lovely place we all want to be more often anyway.

Write, don’t judge, let it get weird, frame it, burn it or give it as a gift. Happy inner discoveries to you!

P.s. Feel free to use my first sentence as a great starting point, make up your own or open to a page in the book you are reading and point!

​
Staring into the midnight moon, I look for you.
I look for your eyes. Do they tell the truth? Are they blue? Is it really you?
How can I tell?
Do you speak of leaves and trees and dirt or do you speak of God and things that make you smile?
Do you dance or jump on a trampoline?
Do you smile?
Do I still smile? Does my smile look like a smile?
What is your passion? Do you resonate with the vibration of passion or do you just think you do?
Do you sing in the shower or in public?
Do you judge those that do?
Welcome in that bliss and the joy that transcend nature, even. Do not fear joy!
Go to Germany, sing with the whales, ski the slopes, ride the bears. Whatever have you. Be a princess.
Just sing your song. Loudly so that everyone can hear it.
Just stop asking so many questions and start being the answers. I am Jeopardy, Alex Trebek. Who’s the boss now?
