Journaling can be a catalyst in our lives for so many reasons. From manifesting, to keeping track of our dreams, developing our other senses, or healing. The act of writing is powerful. It is magic.
We live in a hectic world. We constantly have thoughts and opinions being flung at us left and right. Sometimes it can be hard to discern which thoughts and feelings are our own, and what of those belong to others. We are always being influenced by something outside of ourselves. How can we tell what is the influence from within with so much chaos going on outside of? A simple exercise to learn to discern your own thoughts and feelings from others is by journaling!
Dream journaling can help us learn to decode our dreams and their
subconscious meanings. By writing down what we were thinking before and after sleep, how we were feeling, and what stood out in the dream. Without writing these things down, we'd forget them and then we'd never be able to make sense of our dreams. We'd miss the answer that appears later because we didn't even realize there was a message there for us to begin with. We didn't remember, because we didn't write it down.
We can keep track of our spiritual experiences with journaling. By writing down our experiences, not only can we gauge our growth, but we might also be able to better piece together a spiritual message. If we write down what is happening we will be able to reflect on our experiences more. With more detail.
Writing is also extremely beneficial in manifesting. When we write we are materializing our thoughts. We are literally creating something from nothing with writing. We create strokes on a piece of paper charging each mark with the energy of our intention. Creating something we can tangibly see and feel by writing, straight from our thoughts! By creating a visualization through our writing we also amplify the frequency of what we are creating to the universe, therefore creating a strong magnetic attraction to you and your manifestation.
However you intend to grow, a journal is always the best tool to help you along your journey.
