What is Bliss Writing?

The following is the title page and the preface from my first bliss written novel – Duke Blisser and the Meditating Marines.

Gliding on Life’s Winds with God – An Example of Using Bliss Writing to Have a Life of Radiant Health, Abundance, and Bliss

The purpose is to use bliss writing to imagine and create a better life for the author.

Bliss Writing is an extremely powerful method of self-improvement and spiritual growth. The benefits are almost too great to imagine.

For one thing, you can sit down with a notepad and pen, or a computer and type your way to a better life. This is absolutely amazing. You can take great strides toward your new life in as little as twenty minutes, or ten minutes if you’re pressed for time.

Perhaps the ultimate is writing a novel in a month.

The benefits include:

• increased self confidence
• increased creativity
• increased intelligence
• greater imagination
• greatly increased level of consciousness
• improved physical  health
• improved overall well being
• improved ability to communicate
• financial benefits from your writing
• business opportunities
• better ability to write articles for publication
• better ability to write web pages
• better ability to stay in touch through email
• improved speaking ability
• vastly improved ability to solve problems
• vast ability to rise above problems with no need to solve them
• Bliss writing seems to be a universal panacea. Well perhaps it is.

Here’s how it works.

Pick a topic that relates to your life or the lives of friends. Imagine the greatest things possible, or some great fun thing, and write about all the positive things involved.

Include descriptions of sensory perceptions such as sight sound, smell, and taste. You can also include perceptions of space, distance, weight, mass, moisture, pressure, and voice timbre. The list goes on. You don’t have to include all perceptions. But throw some into each passage.

You should include a main character that you identify with. It doesn’t have to be you. You might find that hard to believe. But you can pretend. Invent a character and think it’s you while you’re writing.

In bliss writing there are no obstacles to overcome. There is no struggle. There are no bad guys. Things just go right naturally.

You’ve probably heard the buzz about the Law of Attraction. That is part of the picture. There tends to be groups forming and dissolving as people make great promises and somehow don’t get there.

With bliss writing there is no pressure. After all, it’s just fantasy. Right?

So just enjoy your fantasy and write away.

The most important factor is to not think about what you’re writing. Don’t edit. Don’t judge. You can do all that another day if you like. For now you just step aside and let it happen.

I prefer to think that I’m standing aside and inviting God to work though me.

You can look at in whatever way is compatible with your spiritual beliefs.

The main idea here is to just step aside and let it flow through you.

It will flow. A lot of the writing, especially at first, might be garbage. So what. Let it happen. It well get better as you learn to trust and simply let it go. So just step aside and let it rip.

Flat out writing has many variations.

Blissercising is flat out writing with answers to a question designed to invite you to look at things in a positive way.

Bliss writing might encompass all of the positive rapid writing techniques. In this case, for this book, it’s used to write a novel. Remember, there are only good guys. There are no obstacles. You are already there. You are merely describing the wonders in great detail.

Do you want a mansion? Great! Include that in your short story or novel. Describe it in detail. Describe some fun activity taking place in your mansion. Describe various sensory perceptions. Describe it in wondrous, fun, and exhilarating detail.

Let loose the cannons of appreciation as you describe the scene and the actions in your mansion.

There are many other forms of rapid writing. One is Win Wenger’s free noting. Dr. Wenger writes about how he would sit in on a lecture about some unknown subject. Then he would allow the speaker to sort of drift in the background while he would write like crazy on this unknown n topic. The first couple of minutes might be junk. Then later he might find himself writing about something before the speaker talked about it.

This seems like pure magic. Many people have written testimonials about the effectiveness of free writing.

May I suggest that you adopt some form of bliss writing into your daily routine. Perhaps you would like to adopt several forms of bliss writing.

For one thing, it’s tremendous fun. It makes you feel good. And it beats watching CSI on television. In fact it beats just about anything on television.

Ladies and gentleman, start your bliss writing.

FYI, my book Rocket Fuel for the Soul – Blissercise Self-Help Manual gives you over 400 twenty minute bliss writing exercises covering almost all the major aspects of life.

The next post will show you an example of bliss writing from my novel.

May the bliss be with you.
