Spiritual Journaling

A guide for teens on the power of creative journaling and its role in enhancing self-discovery and self-awareness.

Many teens and young adults search for ways to express their individuality and to discover who they are, without being judged. In Spiritual Journaling, Julie Tallard Johnson shows that journaling is an informative and supportive outlet for the joys, frustrations and questions that arise for those making the transition towards their own independent ideas and lives— and a powerful tool for awakening creative potential.

Johnson encourages young people to discover their own unique voices by offering guidance on writing and other forms of self-expression and self-dialogue and on learning how to listen to inner wisdom. As readers move through the book and write in their own personal journals, they gain insight about themselves—knowledge reflected in their own words and the writing of other young people included in the book.

The journaling tools provided include meditations, consulting oracles, writing poetry, visualisations, writing rituals, and problem-solving around spiritual questions.
