Journaling is a great way to deepen and integrate the practice of Nia. For keeping a Nia journal, I suggest focusing on sensation. Every experience has a sensation. One approach is to journal on your sensations in any of the realms: physical, mental, emotional and spirit realms. For example, you could focus on one realm per week in any given month. In the first week journal on the physical, the second week, the mental, the third week the emotional, and end the cycle with the spirit realm. Another possibility is to pick one of the 13 Nia Principles (http://niasomoves.com/Rachaelsblog/2008/02/01/the-13-nia-principles/). For example, you could choose The Base, and focus on your experience in your feet, ankles, legs, knees and thighs. Let us know how it's going. Love, Rachael Hi Jahra,

Recently, I have been dancing to the Nia dvds/videos (Global Unity/Unplugged/ Grooves) at home. I would like to start a Nia Journal and I am looking for suggestions on how to start one and what to include. Would love to hear from Rachael and the dancers here on the topic of keeping a journal.
