The Catcher's Mitt: Journaling Your Psychic Experiences

You might think, "I'll remember

this dream" or inspirational thought
...later.  But later comes, and you've
forgotten it!  The information might
have been vital to you, so be sure to 
"catch" it in a journal next time.

        It's helpful to write down thoughts, inspirations, dreams, visions, and so on, that you receive along your life path, especially if you're trying to fine-tune your intuitive abilities.  Spirit speaks to us through our natural thought processes.  Those "funny feelings," that "little voice" tipping us off about something are sometimes spirit communication, or your own Higher Self speaking through your intuition.    

        Despite the flurry of thoughts about this, that and the other thing that blazes through your mind throughout the day, you could "catch" those elusive but sometimes life-changing insights in a notebook.  I call such a notebook a spiritual "catcher's mitt."

Tips

        World-reknown psychic medium John Holland is an adamant proponent of journal writing.  In each of his books, he mentions the importance of journal writing.  In Power of the Soul: Inside Wisdom for an Outside World he even admits he has "used some of the material from my journals as a reference for the books I've written," so he practices what he preaches.  Your journal can be the recipe book from which you cook up the projects you will undertake in this lifetime that are part of your soul purpose.

        In Power of the Soul he suggests several useful journaling tips, including:

• Record all synchronicities and psychic intuitive impressions, looking for "a pattern of events and situations in your life [to see] what you can do to enhance or stop them"

• Draw any related symbols, drawings or images

• Record dreams when you awake in the morning

• Jot down meditative insights

• Keep a record of prayers and what may be precognitive information.  Be sure to later record the answers to the prayers, and the confirmations of the precognitive information

• Copy, or make up your own strongly-felt affirmations

• Record goals and desires.  Be sure to later record when you've received or attained them

• Try writing at the same time, in the same place, daily

• Don't forget to take your journal with you when you travel

• Record happy memories, so "that way when you're feeling down or low or need inspiration, you'll have them to look at"

Review & Learn

        John reviews his journals and "from time to time for no apparent reason, I look back with pride and joy on the progresses in my life."

        He finds himself "occasionally laughing at some of the mistakes I've made, and I can see how I've grown.  [It's your] meditative conversation with your inner-self ...your time to ask your soul questions and then --through all of the synchronicities, intuitive flashes, insights, and impressions --see how the answers appear." 

        Try it for yourself.  You may get spiritual insights that inspire you to take action in your life, actions which may lead you to new opportunities to share your gifts with the world.
