Journal writing is an invaluable tool for the centering of one’s life and work. Once I went for 19 months with only two entries.
It is instructive that the last entry before starting this dry period was entitled “New Centering.” I had reached a plateau and was willing quietly to rest there for a while.

Hi,I’m only new to this but this post resonated well within me. Self journaling is the essence of blogging at its core, is passage for repressed energy taking the form of words and sentences but most of all its a way to express ourselves earnestly for whoever may find it and read on. I also believe that journaling isnt complete without a dream journal, do you journal and analyse your dreams? My next posts are going to be on dream analysis as a key to our shadow & subconscious shame begging for release. I enjoy your writing style, keep it up!
I do journal every day, and if I have a significant dream, I do write it down. It helps. Thank you for your kind words. Love, Celia
