The Art of Journal Writing Course

A self reflective tool for developing creativity and spiritual awareness
by Peg Ritter-Rogers, M.A.

Journal writing is a powerful tool for anyone desiring to get to know themselves deeply and consciously. Through guidance and helpful feedback, writers can keep a daily journal and track themselves and their changing world and worldview. We all change moment -to -moment. When we write, the journal can be used as a mirror to reflect back to us what is going on in our lives. It can be the vehicle for dramatic life changes or gentle nudging to grow and have fuller, juicier lives. It can also reflect to us what is right and joyful in our lives. It can be a place to express our gratitude for all that is beautiful and fulfilling.

The journal is a place to write all of your feelings and thoughts as they flow out of you. It is important to allow, without judgment or plan, any and all thoughts, feelings, reactions to come out on the paper. There are techniques that will allow you to break free from the narrow definitions of what "should"or "ought"to be written in your journal.

The journal is a sacred book. It can hold the sum total of all of a person's confusing and enlightened, angry and happy, quiet and boisterous imaginings, thoughts and desires. It is not a book to be treated as just another task, but the place where your soul can begin to flourish and grow.
