Exercise 1: Set a timer for 5 minutes and write the following in your journal:
The church is ___________________________________________.
Writing is much better than typing this into a computer, so it is better to take pen to paper when doing these exercises.
Then just let it all flow. Keep writing and re-writing that sentence filling in the blank anyway you want to, with anything that comes to mind. Do not censor your responses. Let everything out without judgment and keep writing until the timer runs out.
If you can’t think of something, just write, “the church is something I can’t think of an answer.” The point is to keep writing.
Exercise 2: Set a timer for 5 minutes and write the following in your journal:
God is _____________________________________________________.
You may change this to Gods/Goddess/Divine Power or whatever feels right to you.
