I will recommend that you take up Automatic Writing as a way of communing with your Inner Self, your Unconscious, your heart, your soul, your Guide within.
It works like this. Sit with your computer or with paper and pen/pencil in a comfortable position and wait, perhaps looking out the window for what needs to be written/said to move you to write. Do not think about what to write. Just wait for what needs to be written to make itself known to you and then write. With practice this will be akin to taking dictation. You will know what to write next before you finish what you are writing now.
Write until the writing has written itself out. Then you can put writing away until time for writing comes around again, or you can wait to see if something else needs to be written here, now.
As you become proficient, what needs to be written will occur to you throughout your life, in bed, in the shower, mowing the lawn, driving to work… you may need to take a small note pad with you to jot down sentences or subjects to get back to when you can devote sufficient time to writing it all out.
You may/will find yourself saying things you would not normally expect yourself to say. This is you talking to you about things you have always needed to say but were too distracted to listen, to know, to write. What you do with what you write is up to you and the writer within. Happy trails!
