Discovering Self through the Art of Storytelling

 

The transformative power of storytelling and spirituality is a captivating subject. In a recent episode of the 'Language of the Soul' podcast, we had the pleasure of hosting Connet Tegan, a renowned children's author and energy therapist. The focus of the discussion was the intersection of storytelling, spirituality, and their influence on personal growth and development.

Storytelling has been an integral part of human culture for millennia. It shapes our identities, beliefs, and even our spiritual paths. Connet Tegan's work beautifully intertwines the power of words and music, creating a universe where communication skills and character building are paramount. This not only makes her a phenomenal author but also a catalyst for positive change. 

In today's rapidly evolving educational landscape, the role of storytelling often gets sidelined. However, the significance of narratives in understanding complex issues cannot be overstated. From personal experiences to societal issues, stories offer a unique lens to comprehend and navigate our world. Moreover, the cathartic effects of writing and the therapeutic qualities of journaling serve as potent tools for healing and self-discovery. 

Technology has revolutionized classrooms, but its impact on learning remains a subject of intense debate. While it offers unprecedented access to information, it also poses challenges to traditional modes of teaching, particularly storytelling. As we navigate this complex terrain, it's essential to remember the intrinsic value of storytelling in inspiring, entertaining, and educating.

As the conversation progressed, we delved into the societal and spiritual implications of storytelling. Personal narratives often lead to a reevaluation of our values and beliefs, influencing society's ethical spectrum. In this context, storytelling acts as a mirror, reflecting our thoughts and experiences. This understanding can spur personal growth and contribute to societal progress.

Finally, we discussed the shared principles of various spiritual paths and teachings. Concepts such as thought, perception, choice, accountability, health, healing, rhythm, harmony, abundance, gratitude, and celebration all work together to create a balanced and empowered life. The conversation also emphasized the importance of celebrating our divinity and maintaining balance in all aspects of our lives.

Websites, Blogs and Newsletters

Marketing and promoting is a subject that confuses many writers. Whether you write fiction, nonfiction, for adult or children readers, are self-published or traditionally published, all writers need to promote themselves. And one of the best ways to do that is through the internet. I put these three together because in reality everyone has their own idea on how to market themselves on the internet. I personally use all three ways to market my work and myself. I know others who use only one form to promote themselves. Whichever you choose, make sure you keep it updated with the most current information about you. Another thing to think about is what you are going to post on your websites, blogs, or in your newsletters. Jan Fields, an instructor at the Institute of Children’s Literature, Editor of Children’s Writers enews said in the February 14, 2008 issue, “We live in the information age and little things can become big things really fast. For example, although it is true that ed
