Proprioceptive writing
Proprioceptive writing is a method for exploring the psyche through writing developed since 1976 by Linda Trichter Metcalf and Tobin Simon. It is practiced to music in 25-minute sessions, alone or in groups, under conditions that are designed to promote relaxation and reflection.[1] Through a process the method’s creators call “inner hearing” students learn to listen to their thoughts with empathy and curiosity and reflect on them in writing.[2]
Proprioceptive Writing is widely recognized as an adjunct to the healing arts and as a form of meditation and is also used by people who wish to write and writers facing impediments to their work.[3]
