Joan Adams and I are intensely interested in journaling techniques. So keeping pace with this, we had a guest on the "Moon, Moo and You: The Collective Wisdom," Jeannette Maw, who has an entirely different perspective on Journaling.
She calls it "Pray Rain Journaling."
This concept of Pray Rain Journaling was given to Jeannette By Gregg Braden, author of "Divine Matrix" among many other books.
Gregg was in New Mexico during a period of a five year drought. A friend invited him to a ritual to "Pray Rain." The friend purposely did not say "Pray For Rain."
The two went deeply into the woods, and came to a circle of sacred stones. The friend stepped mindfully into the circle and proceeded to say a few words to the Ancestral Friends and became still.
Gregg imagined his friend would be doing a Prayer Dance with costumes and ceremony, but this was not the case at all.
Later the friend explained what he did. He simply imagined the rain falling on his skin, tasting the rain, and the corn waving in the wind after much rain to make it grow.
That night there was a flood!!
By asking for something, we are acknowledging that we don't have it!! We discussed the concept of Pray Peace, and I was inspired to create a lens on this. After all of these many years of Humans interacting with one another, peace has not been realized.
Could it be we've been going about it in entirely the wrong way?
When Jeannette began playing with her Pray Rain Journal to change some things about her life, she didn't see the connection between this journaling technique and Law Of Attraction. But Abraham, channelled through Esther Hicks, said if you write as if you have something, by the end of the book, you will have it.
Or this or something better.
The first time Jeannette practiced with her PRJ, hours later she got exactly what she wanted.
She must have really been ready!!
Soon, Jeannette will have Pray Rain Blog up and ready for everyone who wants to work with this in an online community setting!! We are excited about this!!
Many times when a person begins the process of Pray Rain Journaling, they don't know "how" to begin. This will be where the community will help get the juices flowing for everyone involved.
We discussed the beauty of online communities, like Twitter, Squidoo and Face Book.
And writing out your wishes may not be your thing. You might want to create scrap books, vision boards, songs--and sing your way to your dream!!
But Pray Rain Journaling is simply telling your story the way you want it to be. As you write or paint or sing your story, you are spared of looking crazy to your family and friends.
We discussed the "I am" statement. This was a powerful discussion and process, I think. Jesus said, "I am That I Am."
This is a powerful use of "I Am." Then we discussed the "I am tired, I am sick, I am overwhelmed, I am angry, I am depressed, I am an alcoholic, I am sorry."
A pretty cool discussion. Listen to the program to hear it.
And finally we discussed Jeannette's adventures with animal rescue.
Animal lovers are a special breed of human. They are a little different than those who cannot relate to animals. I bet Jeannette has the Saint Francis effect.
I bet the Bull Frog in my basement would crawl out from under his rock to greet her happily.
But that's another story.
