The positive or negative energy an emotion generates has a real and measurable impact on our bodies. The act of writing allows us to physically release some of that charge much in the same way we release tension during sex. Burning the page, which happens at the end of the exercise, allows us to purge even more of that charge and serves as a symbol of letting go. If you can release negative energy on a regular basis, it doesn't accumulate. You could look at this exercise as an act of freedom. Whenever you release your emotions, you lighten your burden so you don't have to carry it with you to your next experience. 情绪所产生的积极或消极能量对我们的身体有着真实而重要的影响。写作能让我们释放身体情绪，就像发生性关系能释放压力那样。在练习的最后烧掉所写内容，能让我们释放更多的消极情绪，也是放手的一个象征。如果你能经常性的释放负面情绪，那这种情绪就不会堆积。你可以将这种练习视作自由之举。释放情绪的时候，你就会减轻自己的压力，所以你无需带着压力开始下一段历程。 This exercise works best if you just keep writing and don't stop to think about what you'll write next or self-edit. Forget about punctuation or making your handwriting pretty, even legible. In fact you may get to the point where your emotions are flowing so fast and furiously that you can't even write real words. 如果你在写的过程中不会停下来思考下面该写什么，也不会自己修改，那么这样的练习会达到最佳效果。别想着标点符号或写一手好字了，甚至都不用看得懂。事实上，当你的情绪快速高涨，甚至你都无法写出真正的单词时，你就能领会这个意思了。 |
