Let me share some of the journaling practices I use to get closer to my soul essence.
It starts with a simple question: What does my soul want me to know? Then I listen without filters and write down whatever comes to me. This is a simple intuitive writing exercise that helps me connect with my wiser self. When you try it for the first time, it’s common to receive simple messages such as All is well or You are so loved. Soak in this energy and don’t worry about what you hear. It takes some practice to receive more complex messages — just set the intention to strengthen your soul connection first.
Setting an intention and using affirmations helps focus my mind, so when it starts to wander, I can bring it back to what matters.
Pulling a Tarot or Oracle card for the day connects me to deeper parts of my intuition and can reveal hidden aspects of the day that I might not notice otherwise.
Check in with your feelings. This is a wonderful way to reconnect with yourself. As we grow up, we’re often encouraged to disconnect from our emotions — told not to be sad, for example. Recent studies show that when we accept our feelings and let them be as they are, they naturally change, and we align better with the flow of life. When you feel stuck, try replacing your current feeling with one you’d prefer. For example: instead of feeling overwhelmed, ask, How can I feel focused today? Then imagine what it would feel like to be more focused.
Inspired action: What would be the most important thing to do today? After connecting to all this wisdom, you’ll have a clearer sense of what to do next.
Be grateful. Gratitude is the best way to open your heart and give yourself an instant boost of energy.
Connect to the Moon. By connecting to the Moon, you connect to your intuition and the energies influencing you that day. I want to note that whatever energies are out there, when you connect to your center, you are in the driver’s seat of your life — and you’ll have a good day. So connecting to the Moon isn’t about blaming it or feeling like a victim of circumstances 💕 (although I’ll admit I’m sometimes guilty of that!)
It’s not about perfection but about experimenting, playfulness, and joy. This is our soul essence. Let’s connect to that daily.
I’ve created a Soul Journal you can try. Use it on your iPad, print the pages you’d like, or simply use the prompts in your paper notebook! You can download it from here.
