During a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction workshop that I recently took we were asked to do what I call "two handed journaling." I did it years ago when I was working through some old emotional wounds that just didn't seem to want to heal. This is a very simple but powerful technique to get in touch with yourself, or parts of yourself that you often ignore.
Start with your dominant hand, the one you write with. Write a simple question like, "How are you doing today?" Pause. Take the pen in your non-dominant hand and write an answer. From there, continue the dialogue for a while, alternating hands. If you get a chance, please share your experience with me!
