00:00:44 Tina Dowdy: hi everyone. 00:00:55 amy palatnick: hellllloooo! 00:01:03 Kelly Lubeck (she/her): Hello, beautiful people! 00:01:03 Tina Dowdy: sorry Joanna, I must stay off camera today 00:02:32 Aiyana McKenzie: what is the date of the last call? 00:03:00 amy palatnick: @aiyana 11/22 00:07:13 Aiyana McKenzie: thank you, amy 00:19:52 Joli Knott: I love the idea that you can go beyond simply writing words on the page… 00:21:27 pollymolly: I so would need a beginners guide in how to journal 00:25:29 MaryAnn: Totally agree Joanna…journaling can be a lot like meditation when it comes to releasing and regulating our emotions and nervous system. Powerful!! 00:25:55 Michelyn.com (MIKE-uh-lin): I started journaling at the beginning of the pandemic to keep myself sane, and I haven't stopped journaling every single night since then. Now it's a part of my nighttime routine that I cannot do without. So cleansing. 00:26:40 Aiyana McKenzie: That is wonderful, Michelyn. I feel inspired to pick this habit up too! 00:29:33 AJ Frenzel: I had a session recently with a new partner where I asked if they journal before offering a homework topic. She realized that she used to journal a lot, and loved it, but then had a journal exposed. It brought so much shame and distrust and turned off her entire journaling practice. I offered that she might try writing, reading it back to herself, and then immediately burning the pages afterward. She lit up with that idea that it really can be just for her, for processing & discovery, and not triggering her fear of harm through vulnerablility. 00:30:08 Lara Storm: Plus, if your kids can’t read cursive (mine never learned) then you’re good! 00:30:17 Joli Knott: That's beautiful @AJ--thanks for sharing that 💜 00:30:48 amy palatnick: @AJ that is such a good idea! 00:30:50 Sidsel Nelund (Si-sel - she/her): I have a journal called “While you sleep…” that began when my son was 5 weeks old. The container is to write while he slept and for as long as I could and whatever I could. 8 books later I have a sense that it has to come to an end next week on November 17th. It feels huge. In this process there hasn’t been much space for creating the sacred place, it’s been about just doing it and being grateful for it! Early mothering needed tweaking of my spiritual/inner work practice and I want to call for compassion for anyone who cannot enter into journalling with all the sacredness and continuity that is ideal. 00:31:00 pollymolly: I love that @AJ 00:32:04 Kelly Lubeck (she/her): AJ, I love that you offered that idea to your client - so beautiful. 00:32:04 Joli Knott: @Sidsel 😍💙 00:32:13 Kelly Lubeck (she/her): Michelyn, love that you started with the pandemic and continue! 00:32:16 Layne Mosler (she/her): AJ (and Aiyana) I love the idea of burning the pages. 00:32:30 pollymolly: @sidsel ❤️ 00:32:41 AJ Frenzel: Sidsel 💞 00:32:55 Kelly Lubeck (she/her): And Sidsel, oh my goodness, so beautiful and sacred what you’ve done. What a beautiful ritual for these early years of your child’s life and your motherhood journey. ❤️ 00:33:46 Layne Mosler (she/her): Sidsel, this is SO inspiring: ‘write for as long as I could whatever I could.’ And how beautiful that the birth of your books is connected to the birth of your son. 00:34:14 Sidsel Nelund (Si-sel - she/her): 💕 Joli, AJ, Maria, Kelly and Layne 💕 00:38:11 Michelyn.com (MIKE-uh-lin): Could someone type in what Joanna just listed out about her practice steps? 00:38:13 Carla Sanders: Really love all your moving examples of how you have used journaling in your life, and allowed your life to use your journaling. I have an on/off relationship with my journal. And I always have a journal. A lovely, sensual to the hand journal, and a favorite pen. 00:38:25 Kelly Lubeck (she/her): oh, yes, I remember journaling my dreams for years and years… sometimes I still write them down and its so fun to go back to them! 00:38:29 Angela Stringhini: I use oracle cards to start reflections and journaling 00:39:40 Carla Sanders: @Angela, when I do a reading for self or an event, yes! Journal wakes up! 00:40:23 amy palatnick: I often voice text to journal, record dreams, etc. I get inspired on walks, drives, times i can’t write and love the voice memo app for this. With dreams, it’s especially great because you can keep your eyes closed and record the dream 🙂 00:40:44 Carla Sanders: Good idea, Amy. 00:41:12 Joli Knott: Like that idea @Amy 🙂 00:42:21 Joli Knott: I do find tracking the Moon through the zodiac can be really interesting in how it reflects my mood and how I perceive things… 00:42:24 Angela Stringhini: @Carla 🥰 00:42:44 Joli Knott: And I like the oracle cards, too @Angela 🙂 00:43:17 Michelyn.com (MIKE-uh-lin): Oooh, @Joli, do you have a format for that? I'd like to become more aware of moon phases and this would be fun. 00:43:41 Joli Knott: You’ve just inspired me to put something together @Michelyn! 00:44:15 Aiyana McKenzie: I feel inspired to start a grief journal. 00:44:16 Angela Stringhini: @Joili love that that about the news 00:45:05 Angela Stringhini: @Aiyana this is powerful 00:45:08 Michelyn.com (MIKE-uh-lin): Although I know tracking can be so valuable, there is something that kicks in about that as homework that means it doesn't get done. I'd like to how I could present tracking as a more inviting exercise for myself and for clients. 00:45:19 Carla Sanders: I journal to learn. It’s automatic writing or channeling my higher/inner wisdom on the things… like an astrology topic, SD skills and topics, what arose through breath work or a walk or food or physical therapy. 00:45:51 Joli Knott: @Aiyana 💜💙 00:46:21 Layne Mosler (she/her): I like to practice left-handed writing [I’m right-handed] when I’m particularly stuck on a question, creative or otherwise. 00:46:28 Aiyana McKenzie: Thank you, Joli and Angela 00:46:48 Carla Sanders: I once did a 30 day practice of 100 gratitudes a day. I started 50 am and 50 pm. Then I started doing all 100 at once, and it dredged up all kinds of things out of my mental nooks and crannies. 00:46:50 Joli Knott: @Layne—what a great idea! 00:47:26 amy palatnick: carla wow! that’s a lot of gratitude! 00:47:46 Joli Knott: @Carla—that is so impressive 🙂 00:48:29 Carla Sanders: A challenge from a coach. It was phenomenal, and I was glad when I could go back to reading myself to sleep ;) 00:49:54 Sidsel Nelund (Si-sel - she/her): Michelyn, that’s a good point, I’ve been tracking very deeply at specific moments of my life and would be happy to dwell a bit on your question (why the hell did I do it!) and talk more if it makes sense to you 00:50:34 Michelyn.com (MIKE-uh-lin): Yes Sidsel, I'd love to connect and chat about that! 00:51:50 Sidsel Nelund (Si-sel - she/her): Great, Michelyn! 01:05:10 Melissa K: Oh! This case study is about me!😆 01:05:33 Aiyana McKenzie: Me too, Melissa! Lol 01:09:00 Angela Stringhini: Loved it 01:09:32 Kelly Lubeck (she/her): Love that, Joli! 01:09:48 Layne Mosler (she/her): Whoa, Joli - this is wonderful. 01:10:03 Izzi Beaulieu (she/her): @Joli...LOVE THIS!!! 01:10:59 Joli Knott: 💙Angela, Kelly, Layne, Izzi💙💫 01:19:04 Deva: Love that Amy 01:24:16 amy palatnick: with the postures, i often have my clients do the posture themselves once a day (when you’re brushing teeth, before bed, when you wake up, etc) 01:24:42 Kelly Lubeck (she/her): lol Amy, I have them do that too! the daily anchoring in… ;) 01:26:12 Angela Stringhini: I love the case studies 01:26:18 Sidsel Nelund (Si-sel - she/her): Fun to do the case studies! 01:26:20 Carla Sanders: Lots of new journaling ideas for myself. 01:27:23 Kelly Lubeck (she/her): Yes, loved that, too, Deva - such a powerful movement ritual! 01:27:33 Kelly Lubeck (she/her): So many amazing ideas… thank you all! 01:28:31 Sidsel Nelund (Si-sel - she/her): For inspiration, there is one movement exercise also, where you throw out the shadow female to the left side and then pull in the good stuff from the feminine and then the same to the right with the masculine. 01:28:48 AJ Frenzel: It feels like I have a lot of ideas but struggle with articulating any one idea into a succinct assignment or prompt. 01:28:57 Angela Stringhini: Thank you so much everyone, lovely session, I need to go. Love to all.. 01:31:37 amy palatnick: i often get my best ideas AFTER a session, and will send homework afterwards. 01:33:22 Sidsel Nelund (Si-sel - she/her): Had a great day and feel so ready to go to bed, thank you all! 01:33:23 Joli Knott: Thank you for today--can't believe we only have two weeks left!! 🥲 01:33:25 Kelly Lubeck (she/her): Thank you! 01:33:27 Nell Reid: thank you!!!
