"If you are seeking to know yourself and what is possible for you, journaling is the best single tool I know of. This handbook can get you started immediately on your personal journey of self-discovery and healing." Neil F. Neimark, M.D.

Journaling is a tool that strengthens us, a tool that allows us to consciously go into our fears, hurts and unresolved pain and come out with greater strength, awareness and hope. Journaling demands that we find within ourselves that spark of divinity that transforms the mundane world into a place of beauty, growth and compassion. Journaling leads us to our strength. Journaling leads us to our love. Journaling reveals to us the essential sacredness and worthiness of our being. Journaling allows us to find the deeper sources of conflict and anxiety in our lives and develop an effective plan for finding emotional and mental balance.

The Handbook of Journaling is a concise and practical guide to over 10 different highly effective methods of journaling that can help you find greater clarity, love and understanding in times of confusion, pain and difficulty. The Handbook of Journaling is filled with step-by-step examples to help you begin journaling immediately.

From the Author

Journaling has been an extremely vital source of healing for me. When I am troubled by conflicts in my life or my health, I run to my computer and begin the process of journaling all the different feelings and thoughts I am having. By letting all the different "voices" inside of me have a say, I begin to discover the essence of what the real conflict is. I am always amazed to discover how often what I thought was the problem was not the real problem; how what I thought I wanted was not what I really wanted. Journaling for me is an active form of meditation that allows me to express my deepest fears, hurts, resentments and desires in order to refine the process of discovering myself.

Journaling has been one of the tools most responsible for my own growth in life. I believe unequivocally that journaling allows us to tap into the deeper wells of wisdom and knowing which lie within us. This source of strength and wisdom allows us to stay on track in our lives, and gives us the strength to change the parts of ourselves that need changing, and the courage to accept those parts of ourselves that are as good as they can be. I wish you the best on your own personal journey. Journaling has been a saving grace to me in my life. I hope that these methods will help you to find a deeper trust in your inner beauty and essential sacredness.
