Writing Without a Parachute: The Art of Freefall

A re you looking for the best possible guidance about how to get your thoughts down in writing? Look no further!

In “Writing Without a Parachute: The Art of Freefall” the international writing teacher Barbara Turner-Vesselago shows both beginning and experienced writers how to get the thinking mind to step aside so that writing becomes a truly vulnerable and open-hearted engagement with the moment.

C.G.Jung said that in addition to understanding ourselves, we also need to express ourselves, that is, find our own voice.

 
B oth understanding self and expression are about our uniqueness. One of the ways of expressing ourselves and of finding our own voice is through writing.

I have attended Barbara’s Freefall Writing workshops for about 25 years, and her method has given me the courage to put myself on the page. I mention her approach of focussing on what works in my Insight, Why take the most benevolent perspective? “Writing without a parachute” contains her basic precepts, which she also teaches in her writing workshops.

Her five precepts are:
- Write what comes up for you
- Don’t change anything
- Give all the sensuous detail
- Go where the energy is
- The ten-year rule - for autobiographic material

By applying these precepts in your writing you will discover ease and pleasure in writing. You will also discover something of the shape of your own soul.

Barbara has a free monthly newsletter on writing. You can sign up on her website: http://www.freefallwriting.com
