As much as I love writing, and writing about animals, I can be such an amazing procrastinator!  Recently I bought a product from one of my all time favorite writers and artists, Cynthia Morris, called the Writual Kit.  It contains:

Moleskin journal, magic pen, candles and candle holder, writual anointing oil and writual blessings.

So today I was trying to ground myself and complete a piece I am working on about an equine sanctuary I recently visited.  For me, I think I freeze in my tracks often because I want to do justice to the stories- and this one is especially dear to my heart because of a disabled horse.

I pulled out my writual kit and decided to give it a try.  I turned on some new age music through the internet and the magic of Pandora.  I then lit my candle, anointed my wrists and forehead as instructed.  I then picked my writual blessing which read, “Permission to write, granted.”  It brought tears to my eyes.

Wow, this must be working, I thought.  I write better by typing, so did not use the journal or pen, so opened up the document on my computer I had started… and away I went.  One hour later, it is complete.  Amazing!!

What techniques do you use to begin writing or creating?
