What if you could unburden your mind &
effortlessly unleash creativity through writing?
Imagine taking pleasure in thinking your thoughts
& hearing your stories in a brand new way…
Welcome to Proprioceptive Writing®
Proprioceptive Writing (PW) is the only writing practice that helps you slow your thoughts and focus on your sense of inner hearing. A self-guided method, it allows you to express your unedited thoughts in writing so that you can reflect on them. Widely recognized as a path to greater self-knowledge and understanding, PW leads to clearer thinking and enhanced emotional health. Used as an adjunct to the healing arts and as a form of meditation, PW is also valuable for those who wish to write and for writers facing impediments to their work.
