"Intulexia Penning" has been developed by the Program - a taught course that offers contact with their child within who are grieving that loss and attempting to release the child into its own freedom.
In INTULEXIA, we take a blank notebook or sheets of paper and writes about a topic or answers questions about a topic. The key in INTULEXIA penning is to write as much as you possibly can in a 30-45 minute window without taking your pen away from the page or stopping to reflect, think or analyse what you have written. Spelling, grammar, accuracy or appropriateness are all considered secondary. Just writing our thoughts down as fast as they come flooding in is the key.
Confidentiality is crucial in PENNING. What you are writing is for your eyes only. You may later decide to share what you have written with others whom you trust, but there may be things you want to write about that you will never want to say to another living soul - and that's ok and important. Nobody reads your pens.
Some amazing things can get written during INTULEXIA sessions. People discover things about themselves they never knew were in there.
Here are some questions to get yourself started with INTULEXIA:
How do I see my child within in this moment - what are my main strengths and weaknesses?
How have I been treated best/worst by those who are closest to me?
What would I say if I were to write a final letter to a person who has hurt me?
What is my child withins plan going forward?
What three adjectives would I choose to describe my child within and why?
If I could change one thing, what would it be?
