MORNING PAGES
Morning Pages, as well as poetry, I write in my native language: Swedish. Native language is the gateway to our inner being. Three pages of longhand, stream-of-consciousness writing in the morning, every morning, is a great tool for keeping in touch with the inner Self. The method of writing Morning Pages was developed by artist Julia Cameron in the 1980s. Her first book on the subject The Artist's Way A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity was published in 1992 and is by now a classic. I've written Morning Pages regularly for a couple of years now. I'm able to say that the method works.
"Pages do feel like a loving - and loyal - friend. They gently move us to act in our own best interest. They move us from self-obsession into self-confidence. Artists at heart, we forge lives that are artful. We dare to name ourselves "Artist", and to live the Artist's Way." (Julia Cameron, The Artist's Way, 2016)
