Author Janet Conner is an expert on soul writing, personal prayer, and forgiveness. She is the creator of Spiritual Geography, a writing system that heals the broken heart. After a traumatic divorce, she learned how to listen to her own inner wisdom. Out of this experience came a writing style Conner connects with the soul. It is based on four steps: Show Up, Open Up, Listen Up, and Follow Up.

At the outset, the author notes: "There is a voice inside you. There is a voice inside everyone. Whether you hear it or not, the Voice is there. Whether you acknowledge it or not, the Voice is there. Whether you ask it for help or ignore its guidance, the Voice is still there. Waiting. It is waiting for you to stop, if just for a moment, and listen. The Voice is always there, guiding you, encouraging you, loving you."

Conner shares the different things that must be done to begin this process of accessing the Voice within and writing down the soul. She suggests creating a schedule, slowing down, getting a journal and a pen, making yourself available, and creating a sacred writing space. She shares spiritual insights along with scientific data on mind research and closes with a rich and substantive group of resources that can support Writing Down the Soul.
