In her book, The Enchanted Life: Unlocking the Mag In her book, The Enchanted Life: Unlocking the Magic of Every Day, Sharon Blackie suggests we “make a list of the landscapes and places we’ve lived in. What are their qualities physical and archetypal? What aspects of those places did you relate to, and which did you not relate to? How have you been shaped by them? Is there a particular landscape you long for? Is it real or imagined? Why do you resonate so deeply with it? If you were a landscape or an element of landscape, what would it be? Write a short piece from the perspective of yourself as an element of landscape.” #enchanted #nature #psychotherapy #journal
