Journaling helps sustain intimacy with self. Journaling can tap into a source of spirit water that bubbles up from the well of mystery that you are. Journaling is a powerful tool to uncover one’s honest motivations, fears and values.

What might be uncovered if you journaled as a consistent, daily practice? Simply journaling random thoughts or your dreams is a fine place to begin. You may also choose a power question and journal what comes up as a way of answering it. Remember, questions are magnets for solutions.
