As my course participant, Janet said, “When I was young, I loved to write stories and wrote constantly as a way to express the angst of my teenage years. Unfortunately, this led to shaming, because those very personal journal entries were read by someone who used them to ridicule and criticize me. You are the first person to name and identify the damage done by this kind of shaming. After working through your course, I am recognizing that I am well on the way to healing that tender, violated part of my inner world. There has been a remarkable, gradual fading of the critical inner voice. Now, I have a structure to work within and techniques to practice, and it has given me a sense of direction and purpose.”

This is my desire for you too—direction, purpose, and

the safety of having practical tools and techniques to guide

you on your journey.

Most of all, I want you to know that what you hold in your hands now, or consume via your screen or audio device, is an invitation. It’s an invitation to begin to live a fully expressed life.

A Love Lesson, as Told to Me by Yair Sagy

Finally, I’d like to end this introduction with a short meditation. Put your hands on your heart and imagine the space within. Feel your heart and then see your inner child. Look in her eyes and give her a hug. Love her. Take care of her needs. Be kind to her. Protect her from harm. Listen to her. Laugh with her. Give her treats. Take her for a day out. Be a parent to the little girl inside you, and remember this—when you love yourself, it’s easy to put up boundaries because you don’t fear rejection. You can easily say “no.” Repeat the affirmation: “I love myself.” Repeat it again. Then imagine the roar of a lion and its power and say, “I am creative, fertile, serene, and powerful like a mountain.”

Be love. Exude love. Let it fill your whole body and radiate outwards. And remember that writing for creative self-expression will help to set you free.
