Keeping a Spiritual Journal
By Reverend Corinne S. Ramage.

When you commit to the serious journey deeper into your spirituality, it is important to document your evolution. With this commitment your life will change as you will be offered new opportunities for spiritual growth. Each entry will be a step towards revelation. Each entry in itself may be a revelation in retrospect.
A journal is a valuable tool for personal reflection and also gives you a vehicle for expression if you choose to share with a group of fellow spiritual seekers.

Consider the following:

• Purchase a notebook or a bound blank book that you can carry with you. It is important for you to be able to record your entries as often as your lifestyle or work schedule allows.
• You will be recording your thoughts, feelings or impressions. When something touches your Heart or your Soul, record those feelings. If a thought occurs to you that is a bridge between who you are and what you want to become, record that thought. If you meet someone who somehow touches your Soul and you begin to remember something deep within yourself, record that experience. If your Heart draws you into a situation that is not logical, record your impressions.
• This journal is specifically for what calls to your Heart and beckons to your Soul. This journal is not about documenting an incident. It is about the journey within self. It is about the part of you that is awakening. This means your sentences may be incomplete, as well as your feelings and impressions. To the best of your ability, record your experiences without judgment.
• Trust in your experience. With the intent to begin a spiritual journey, your life is guaranteed to change as the Divine is always listening. You may not be alert enough to hear or notice the answers, but your prayers are always answered.
  

Note: Joining a spiritual group, taking on-line classes or meeting with a spiritual counselor will add to your growth.
