ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE - Journal Therapy

Journal Therapy is a form of energy medicine as it unleashes your pure potentiality from consciousness.

Journaling is Alternative Medicine and Quantum Medicine a form of energy healing as it gives one an opportunity for self discovery by simply putting thought and feelings down on paper. It opens the mind and puts one into a state of awareness allowing one to put ones attention and focus on self.

Journaling allows you to "Tell Your Story" and to be fully self expressed without concerns of judgment. My mentor says it best:

Journaling Helps You Understand Your Thoughts and Beliefs By Mark Victor Hansen

"If you’ve never done it before, I can assure you – Journaling can open up a whole new world to you. It’s not just for the weak or lily livered either, so get that thought out of our mind immediately. This is not a Jane Austen endeavor – this is your life.

Just writing down your thoughts, ideas, plans and goals can open the window to your mind. It can show you the train of your thoughts, your fears and your hopes so that you’ve got something there that shows you, indicatively, what you’re really thinking.

See, journaling lets you release the thoughts in your mind that you might not even be consciously aware of. When you start journaling, don’t be self-conscious about what you write – just let it flow.
After a week or month or so, take some time to review your entries. Note your hopes and your fears. Don’t let those good ideas get away from you – they’re there in paper, now put some action to those ideas. Get clearer on your hopes and goals, and note where you need to deviate yourself from any negative self talk.

Action Step:
Keep up on your journal entries, jotting just a few words every day if possible. Over the next year, you’ll see the difference a personal journal can make."

Yours in goal-setting success,
Mark Victor Hansen

"Visual journals are essentially "art diaries." They often contain both images [usually drawings] and words. Like an actual diary, their contents may be rough drafts that may later become finished artworks. And like an actual diary, they are meant to document day-to-day experiences, activities, and emotions and are often autobiographical in nature. Although they are defined as an art form, visual journals have been used for centuries as records of ideas and imagination. Da Vinci's drawing journals of flying machines and physicist Stephen Hawking's diagrams of the space-time continuum are just a couple of well-known examples."

"In 2007, Health Net Federal Services launched a children’s initiative in an effort to provide additional resources to help children successfully navigate the unique challenges military families face. My Life, a kid’s journal, was developed to help children with a parent or loved one deployed easily express complicated emotions and serve as a tool for children and parents to establish important dialogue before, during and after deployment. This journal can be saved as a keepsake or completed and sent as a gift from a child to his or her deployed loved one.

Health Net Federal Services created My Life Continued, a bereavement journal for military children who have lost a parent or loved one who served in the military. The journal is a private place to write down thoughts and feelings and was created to help children remember and honor their loved one and help them apply that love in a productive way as they move forward in their lives.
