Deep Soul Writing to Connect with Your Inner Wisdom with Janet Conner
Oh, I could fill this whole page with incredible quotes from our conversation but here's one that captures it beautifully:
"There are parts of me and parts of you and parts of all of us that are hungry for connection with the source of wisdom within whether it comes through prayer, meditation, deep soul writing, swimming laps, going for long walks in nature. There are so many ways to get out of your conscious mind and connect with the voice of wisdom within. And knw know that."
Janet Conner
We have all of our answers. Our soul knows what direction we should take, but we've got to actually ask the questions.
In this episode, we discussed:- How Deep Soul Writing started - and there's a puppy in the story!
- Examples of the connection between deep soul writing and deep soul reading
- Why getting your ass in the chair and writing is the MOST important step to connecting with your inner wisdom
- The power of questions to begin the conversation on the page. As she says, "it's the inquiry that changes everything." (around min. 28:00)
- Two key questions to get started with deep soul writing - because "when you let BIG questions lead the way, you open doors that you didn't even know existed." (around 35:00)
- Why a spiritual practice of positive affirmations and focusing on hoping for happiness is B.S.

Janet Conner is a prayer artist, deep soul explorer, and field guide in The Mystic. Her first book, Writing Down Your Soul, became a bestseller, opening a path to six more including The Lotus and The Lily, Soul Vows, and Find Your Soul’s Purpose.
When “Prayer Artist” came calling, Janet found herself writing a whole new genre of post-patriarchal prayers, redefining prayer altogether, and leading radically different prayer intensives. She completed the six-year run of her highly successful radio show, The Soul-Directed Life, to create a new kind of podcast, Praying at the Speed of Love, inviting authors to share intimate stories about their prayer lives. To make all this possible, Janet lives a quiet life filled with silence, solitude, and joy in the tiny town of Ozona, Florida on the Gulf of Mexico.
