Writing yourself whole

 

I want you to be everything that's you, deep at the center of your being.

– Confucius

 

Writing is an alchemical process that turns pieces into wholeness. Whenever I feel like my life is falling apart, writing becomes my sanctuary. It is my sacred place to hide and rest. A place to centre and feel whole again. In this space, everything slowly returns to its natural rhythm so I can return to stillness and fullness. The writing process allows me to keep my attention on the present moment and stay with my thoughts and feelings.

When we think we are not enough and need anything or anyone to fulfill us, we suffer. When we believe that other people or things promise us wholeness, we suffer. Writing can teach us that we are not lacking anything or anyone. It can teach us freedom, honesty, and compassion, clarity and perseverance, trust and openness. It can teach us wholeness. All that is required is to trust the process, and most importantly, to start.

***

Write about what you need in order to feel whole right now. You don’t have to be realistic. You are not writing a plan. You are writing to find out what’s true for your heart in this moment. It’s a safe discovery journey, and no action is needed. Of course, you can, and probably will, act on what you learn, but for now, the focus is on the discovery itself. What do you feel is missing in your life? Who or what do you believe would make you feel whole? You can start with, “In order for me to feel whole right now, I need …” and continue for seven minutes. No stopping. The rules are simple: don’t stop, reread, or rewrite for seven minutes.


 

About The Author

Natalya is an award-winning writing and dissertation coach with over two decades of experience teaching writing. She has coached professional writers and university writers of all skill levels–students, staff, and faculty. Natalya currently runs Writing and Graduate Student Support at Ryerson University in Toronto, where she also teaches Writing for Wellness to staff and faculty and acts as a dissertation coach for graduate students.

Her passion is helping writers become more courageous, authentic, and kind to themselves. Through individual coaching, writing groups, and writing retreats, she has helped hundreds of writers to break through blocks and find inspiration, a more authentic voice, and a greater freedom in their writing and their life. Her doctoral research also focused on the intricacies of the writing process, exploring the relationship among the poetic, the feminine, and the sacred.

She lives in Toronto, Canada, and when she is not writing or meditating, she loves to play tennis, practice yoga, or sit by the water and cloud watch for hours. In her own writing practice, spanning three decades, she discovered that beliefs we have about our writing are not different from the beliefs we have about ourselves, so a new way of writing often translates into a new way of living. What was impossible becomes probable and even likely when we learn to write and live without fear.
