Hello, sweet friend,

Today, you’re invited into the enchanting world of intuitive journaling. Intuitive journaling is one of the best tools for tuning into your deepest needs and desires. Journaling in an intuitive state allows emotions and sensations to surface, offering valuable guidance toward your true path.

Journaling itself is perfect for diving deeper into both your conscious and subconscious thoughts. It’s ideal for analyzing and reflecting on your emotions at a profound level. Often, simply thinking things through can lead to a chaotic mess of unclear or twisted thoughts. Journaling, however, helps bring harmony and clarity to your mind. It’s perfect for decision-making, purging emotions, and letting go of thoughts that no longer serve you. Journaling also creates space for new ideas and visions. Whenever you feel stuck or want to set new intentions, journaling can be your path to peace of mind.

Essential Oils and Crystals for Deepening Your Intuitive Journaling Practice

To enhance your intuitive journaling experience, I recommend three essential oils and three crystals. These tools work harmoniously to foster a sacred space where intuition and inner wisdom can flow freely, each bringing a unique energy to your ritual.

Best Essential Oils for Intuitive Journaling

Frankincense
Frankincense is grounding, spiritual, and sacred. It has been used for centuries in spiritual rituals for its meditative properties. It calms the mind, clears distractions, and invites a deep connection to the divine and your higher self. Frankincense is perfect for opening your third eye chakra, helping you receive and process intuitive messages clearly. It elevates your journaling into a sacred practice, enhancing the clarity of your insights. (Find your frankincense essential oil here.)

Clary Sage
Clary Sage is harmonizing, clarifying, and visionary. It opens intuitive channels, bringing clarity to your thoughts. Known for calming mental chatter and promoting vivid dreams or visions, it’s ideal for intuitive journaling. Clary Sage helps release emotional blocks, providing a clear path for intuition to flow. (Find your clary sage essential oil here.)

Lavender
Lavender is calming, balancing, and soothing. It helps quiet the conscious mind and allows your intuition to shine. It also enhances mental clarity, making it easier to write freely without self-doubt. Lavender creates a serene mental space, helping your intuitive thoughts surface naturally.

Essential Oil Blend for Intuitive Journaling

Create a soothing environment for intuitive journaling with this aromatic blend:

• 3 drops Frankincense
• 3 drops Clary Sage
• 2 drops Lavender

Diffuse this blend in your journaling space or apply it (diluted with a carrier oil like jojoba oil) to your wrists and temples to enhance your intuitive connection.

Best Crystals for Intuitive Journaling

Amethyst
Amethyst amplifies intuitive, protective, and spiritual energy. Known for enhancing spiritual awareness and intuition, it helps clear your mind of distractions. It’s especially effective for connecting with your third eye and crown chakras, making it a perfect companion for intuitive journaling.

Labradorite
Labradorite is mystical, protective, and transformative. It unlocks hidden truths, opening you to deeper levels of intuition. Labradorite acts as a spiritual guide during journaling, helping you navigate profound revelations while shielding you from negative energies.

Clear Quartz
Clear Quartz amplifies clarity and focus. It is a powerful energy and intention amplifier. Clear Quartz enhances spiritual insight and works well with other crystals, amplifying their energy. It ensures that your journaling insights are clear and powerful.

Steps to the State of Intuitive Journaling

To truly tap into the profound wisdom of your intuition, prepare a sanctuary of serenity where your thoughts can gently unravel. Embrace tranquility in every corner of your space—perhaps light a stick of incense, engage in a personal ritual, cleanse the energy around you with Palo Santo, and select a cherished crystal to accompany you on this sacred journey. It is warmly recommended to use the essential oils and crystals mentioned above.

In the stillness and calmness you create, I encourage you to let the voice of your intuition rise above all else. While music can often be a comforting companion, consider forgoing it to allow the pure, unfiltered whispers of your inner self to resonate clearly. If you find it helpful, you might immerse yourself in the subtle vibrations of intuition-activating binaural beats, harmonizing your mind with the rhythm of your intuitive process.

Before you delve into this session of soul journaling, take a few moments to breathe deeply and release the ongoing chatter of your mind. Let go of lingering thoughts, creating a spacious void where your inner voice can emerge with clarity and strength. When you feel ready, gather your tools—paper and pen—and read the questions presented here.

If you have journaling prompts waiting, read them with an open heart and curious mind. Perhaps read them multiple times, letting the words soak into your consciousness. Speak them aloud and let their vibrations fill the air. Write them down, planting the seeds of new insights deep within your spirit. Allow the flow of intuition to guide you. Notice the emotions that surface and the themes that emerge. Scribble down your first impressions—single words, fleeting phrases—without concern for coherence. Trust that meaning will unfold as your intuitive process deepens.

Let your thoughts cascade freely onto the page. Do not pause to judge or analyze. Release any expectations. Embrace the freedom of unbounded thought, free from the constraints of rationality. Surrender to the unknown, opening yourself to unexpected revelations. Allow pure curiosity to guide you. What needs to emerge will do so in its own time. Sit with your intuition for as long as it takes, unhurried by the clock.

Expand the horizons of your usual thoughts. Trust your initial feelings, but also probe deeper if you sense there is more to uncover. Sit with the emotions and insights, feeling their resonance within you. If you feel there is more to come, remain open and patient. This process may unfold over days, with new insights arriving when you least expect them, each bearing its own vital message.

To delve even deeper into the hidden realms of your subconscious, consider the ancient wisdom of tarot cards. These mystical tools can illuminate perspectives you might not have considered, uncovering desires, needs, and emotions buried beneath the layers of your conditioned mind. Draw a tarot card for each question, and let it guide your intuition further. Examine the theme of the card, the perspective it offers, and the message it seeks to impart. Ask yourself: What questions does it raise? And most importantly, why? Continue to ask why, peeling back layers until clarity emerges.

In this mystical dance with your intuition, trust in the process. Trust in yourself. What needs to be revealed will find its way to the surface, bringing you closer to your true calling and soul purpose. Embrace the journey, for it is uniquely yours, filled with the promise of profound self-discovery and enlightenment.

Sharing My Own Ritual for Intuitive Journaling Sessions

I like to practice intuitive journaling in solitude. I honor my own peaceful space, knowing that no one has access to it while I journal. My journaling always begins with a moment of quiet reflection. I like to light Palo Santo to cleanse the energies in my space and within myself. Sometimes I also include a Selenite crystal for the energy-cleansing process. Using essential oils is always part of my routine. I choose my essential oils based on the intention I have for the intuitive session. If I’m seeking inspiration, I may choose the invigorating blend of lemon and peppermint. For a calmer session, I rely on my beloved lavender and clary sage.

Once the energy around me is cleared, I tune in to my current thoughts. I take deep breaths to center myself and begin by noticing my energies on a mind-body-soul level. I accept my current state and let go of anything that doesn’t serve me in that moment. I also like to choose a crystal that I feel will best help me connect with my heart and soul. Sometimes I reach for clear quartz for clarity, but most often I find myself holding amethyst, as it naturally strengthens the connection with intuition.

With my chosen crystal in hand, I tune into the intentions for my journaling session. I may write down questions or single words to start focusing on themes that feel relevant. Sometimes, I start free writing as soon as thoughts begin to surface. Very often, I like to pull tarot cards to give me a broader perspective on the theme. Then I simply write, without judgment or expectations.

When I feel a sense of fulfillment and harmony, I finish writing. Afterward, I reread my insights. Grateful for the realizations, I close my journal and allow the newly planted seeds of insight to grow. Sometimes, the realizations and cues are strong and clear. Other times, the guidance from my heart and soul is so powerful that it leaves no room for interpretation. Sometimes, I know that the answers will come later and that the journaling session has served to guide me toward clarity. Both scenarios are equally rewarding and beautiful.

As always, sweet friend, remember that journaling opens new pathways to your subconscious and intuition. Reflection helps you recognize your deepest desires and understand what your heart and soul truly crave.

Happy intuitive journaling!
Wishing you love, light, and profound insights,

Mimi 🌙
