Keeping a journal can help you fully explore your emotions, release tension, and fully integrate your experiences into your mind.
Journaling generally involves the practice of keeping a journal that explores thoughts and feelings surrounding the chapters of your life. Journaling is also an excellent method to manage stress and connecting with your true self. Appreciating yourself helps you appreciate your life. When you hold yourself in high esteem and know you are fulfilling your purpose in life, you tend to have more enjoyment and a more positive attitude.
The best way to speak and share your truth with others is to practice with yourself first. Give yourself 10 - 15 minutes; grab a pen, a piece of paper, and the first gemstone you are drawn to. Some say the best time to do this exercise is in the morning but anytime you are ready to focus on this practice is the right time. With your eyes closed, touch or hold your gemstone for a few minutes and focus on your intention before you begin writing. You can also meditate with it for a few minutes if you prefer. While holding a chosen gemstone in one hand or wearing it, start to write the first words that come to your head, do not stop and think about the words…just write.
Write all the thoughts out being honest, and getting your thoughts out without hesitating or holding back. The gemstone will help you tap into the vibrational energy you need to clear the mind so that you can approach the rest of the day from a more elevated, clear and calm state of expression. This practice will help to open you up to be able to speak your truth.
When choosing a gemstone to journal with, your intuition will lead you in the right direction. Trust your higher-self, you will be drawn toward one or more gemstones that will help you manifest what you truly need. If you want to raise the vibration of particular energy research or ask your guides to find the gemstone you need to raise that vibration.
