Writing Down The Bones Deck #2

This post is inspired by Denise E Lindquist. I never would have known about this deck of cards if it wasn't for her. So thank you Denise for sharing this lovely deck of cards with all of us on Vocal.

Full disclosure: I have not read Natalie Goldberg's book titled by the same name. I just own her cards.

I also receive a small commission from Amazon if you purchase these cards via the link that I have provided for you. Thank you.

I've been stuck in a writing rut. I have honestly tried everything to get myself out of the funk I have found myself in after losing my fourth child. I tried reading more- when I have time that is. I tried art journaling. I even tried listening to my favourite podcasts about writing and writers block. I mean nothing has been able to get me out of this writers block and depression I find myself in.

I was scrolling Vocal and I came across another post by Denise that featured these cards. And I thought to myself, maybe this is it. SO I bought them. I thought to myself, "Maybe this is what I need". I've been carrying the cards around for about a month- trying to get "in the mood" to write again. I started writing this on my Kindle Scribe today while I was at home and I felt everything just flow. I'm going to try and post every prompt that I work on. I truly love tarot and oracle cards as well as affirmation cards, that is why I clicked so well with these.

SO without further ado- enjoy my attempt at erasing my writer's block with the second prompt.

2) Now go on for ten minutes on "what I'm not thinking of." How can you write what is not there? Oh it is there; it just hasn't risen up to consciousness. Your writing will make it present. Pen to paper: "What am I not thinking of."

I find this one funny because ALL I can think of is about what is bugging me. I'm writing to distract myself so I'm thinking of nothing but of what is going on in my life. I am currently writing to distract myself from some of the ongoing health issues I have been experiencing while in the waiting room of a hospital. I wish I had more to say. I'm thinking of calling my late grandmother as she is the one I wish to speak to in regards to my physical health. I'm just scared and trying to keep my mind off things. The audiobook I'm listening to just mentioned a line about grieving. It's a good one. Your Soul Had A Dream, Your Life Is It by Rebecca Campbell. If you have not heard of it please check out her work, especially if you're interested in spirituality. I think it found me at the right time of my life while grieving the loss of my grandmother- who truly was my favourite person as well as grieveing the loss of my unborn child. I actually had a good chat with a counsellor today and I decided that I want to join a support group.

My timer went off so it's time to stop my babbling about my health.

I'll leave a description to the audiobook that I am currently listening to down below as it absolutely helped me on this powerful jounrey that I am on. I highly recommend Rebecca Campbell. I have a few of her oracle decks that she created as well- they are beautiful and make excellent gifts for fellow spirituality lovers.

People think that the darkness is the end, but it’s also the beginning. Each of us exist in a constant state of change, growth and transformation. But in order for the rebirth to happen we must find the courage to surrender who we once were to create space for who we are becoming.

In Your Soul Had a Dream, Your Life Is It, bestselling author Rebecca Campbell shares her personal journey of learning to navigate life’s darkest nights, opening to healing and reconnecting with the spirit of Life. This book will support you to:

• navigate your own dark nights of the soul

• understand that healing is always happening

• receive ancestral healing

• be held and supported by the unseen world of spirit that is all around you

• embrace the ‘Way of the Mystic’ and walk your sacred path

May these pages hold you through the changing seasons of your life. May they invite you to live courageously and say yes to how life is trying to initiate you. Has your soul been scheduled to go deeper than before?
