Circles in the Sky

December 4, 2017 By Nancy Casey

Do this exercise and then write about what it was like.

Pick a number between 8 and 20.

Sit comfortably with your back supported.  Close your eyes and pretend that there is a search light shining into the sky from the top of your head.  Move your head in slow circles, pretending that you are drawing circles in the sky with the light saber you are wearing on your head.

Whatever that number was that you picked at the start, draw that many circles.  If you lose count, start over.

Draw all the circles in one direction, and then reverse and draw them in the other.

Here is a longer version of these directions.

In-person Write-For-You workshops at the Latah Recovery Center have been suspended for a bit, but you can still do the writing prompts on your own. For more information, about the Write for You program, or if you are in recovery and interested in writing coaching, contact Nancy.
