Guided Journaling for Emotional Healing and Self-Discovery

7/10/2025

If you ever watch the world’s news with your heart in your throat, I’m glad you’re here today. Lightworkers, healers, the quiet comfort-givers—this post is for you.

I started using guided journals when my son was small. Why?

Because even my beloved vanilla tea and my favorite crystals couldn’t always help me feel better or work through my feelings. Instead, I needed a soft, safe place to let it all out, where I could get clarity and hear myself think.

Think of guided journaling as your own little sanctuary. Give yourself permission to breathe, reflect, and write it all out.

What's Guided Journaling?

Guided journaling is like having a wise friend sit with you, nudging you toward questions you might never ask yourself.

Unlike blank-page journaling, it offers prompts—maybe as simple as “How am I feeling right now?” or as deep as “What part of today do I wish I could release?” These prompts may help you find clarity in places that often get skipped over in daily chatter.

For healers and lightworkers, most of your day runs on the service setting. You hold space. You listen. You feel like a lighthouse for everyone swirling around you.

Guided journaling offers a private pause, a way to check in without being interrupted, judged, or expected to fix it all. It’s a soft landing after a hard day, and a boundary between your spirit and everyone else’s needs.

Guided Journaling for
Emotional Healing

Why is journaling important for lightworkers? Because you matter just as much as those you support.

Guided journaling rewires old habits. Instead of shoving down anger or heartbreak, you let those feelings breathe on paper where they can’t poison your body or spirit anymore.

The benefits ripple out...

(1) Emotional Resilience: The more you practice, the less power old wounds have over your present moments.

(2) Clarity and Intuition: Prompts like “Is this feeling even mine?” help you separate your own emotions from what you pick up as an empath or healer.

(3)Self-Compassion: Meeting yourself with curiosity (instead of criticism) will help you let go of shame and isolation.

(4) More Peace: As you process your feelings, you send a message to your nervous system that calms it down, letting it know you no longer need it to be on constant alert.

Over time, you’ll notice more lightness, more responding instead of reacting, and a stronger sense of your own truth.

Try a Mini Ritual with
Guided Journal Prompts

Take three slow, deep breaths, and then think through these three guided journal prompts…

(1) What does emotional healing mean to you and what would it look like to you?

(2) Which feelings do you find the hardest to express, and why?

(3) Do you have a relationship in your life that you find emotionally draining? What is it that drains you?

Take a moment and breathe deeply while offering boundless love to yourself and to the energy of the relationship.

Now read these affirmations silently and then, out loud…

I forgive myself for all of my past mistakes.

I deserve to set boundaries that protect my emotional well-being.

How powerful that you’ve just done a mini emotional healing ritual and connected to yourself more deeply. You’ve added healing to your day, all while reading a blog post!

I Got Help from a
Guided Journaling AI Tool

In my Fearless Lightworker Toolkit, there’s an AI tool that will offer you personalized journal prompts, based on what you tell it. So in the moment, you get help with a problem you’re struggling with, by thinking through it or about it in a way you hadn’t before.

GUIDED JOURNAL AI TOOL

What I asked it…

I have a deep, inner belief that I am loved and adored by God. And I believe that my divine self (higher self) marinates in that love all of the time and can offer it to me.

So presumably, I could be feeling that love as I move through each day. Imagine that!

And since love is the highest frequency there is, if I were within it and drawing from it, I also would be able to draw to me my deepest heart wishes, if the law of attraction works the way it is said to work.

But this is not my everyday experience. Give me some journal prompts that might help me create a daily experience of being bathed in love.

Here are the journal prompts the AI tool gave me…

(1) What moments in your day most naturally invite you to feel the presence of divine love, and how can you gently deepen your awareness of that connection in those moments?

(2) How do you currently notice and experience the love your higher self offers, even in small or subtle ways?

(3) What thoughts or beliefs might be creating distance between you and the feeling of being bathed in love, and how might you compassionately explore these without judgment?

(4) When you imagine yourself fully wrapped in love’s highest frequency, what sensations, images, or emotions arise within you?

(5) How can you create simple, nurturing rituals or practices that remind you to open your heart to the love that is always present inside and around you?

GUIDED MEDITATION AI TOOL

Then I got inspired and decided to ask the guided meditation AI tool in the toolkit for a micro meditation that would help me do the same thing. When it does that, it also gives you an encouraging message and an affirmation.

This was the response to my request…

The Message

You are deeply cherished, even in moments when it doesn’t feel strong or clear. Your higher self is always wrapped in God’s endless love, quietly offering that warmth to your heart.

It’s okay if you don’t feel it every moment—this love is like the sun: unseen behind clouds but still shining. You’re not alone on this path, and each step you take brings you closer to living in this loving light.

Guided Micro Meditation: Bathed in Divine Love (3-5 Minutes)

Find a quiet, comfortable place where you can sit or lie down. Close your eyes gently.

Take a slow, deep breath in... hold it for a moment... now breathe out fully, letting your body relax.

Imagine a soft, warm light above your head—this is the pure love of God that surrounds you always.

With each breath in, feel this loving light slowly pour down like gentle rain or a warm bath, soaking into your skin and filling your heart.

Picture this light washing away any doubt or heaviness, leaving softness and peace in its place.

As you breathe out, imagine this love spreading through your whole being, from your head to your toes, filling every corner of you.

If your mind wanders, gently bring it back to the feeling of this warm, comforting light wrapping you in love.

Rest here for a few moments, simply feeling held and bathed in this divine love.

When you’re ready, slowly bring your attention back to the room and open your eyes, carrying this quiet love with you.

The Affirmation

I am always held in the gentle, endless love of the divine. This love flows through me each day, guiding me toward my deepest wishes with calm and grace.

Isn’t that beautiful? All of it gave me a lot to think about!

I know you’re busy right now, but maybe later, if you'd like, you could use those journal prompts, guided meditation and affirmation in a longer ritual, complete with a yummy-smelling candle, a cozy blanket and a delicious cup of tea. :)

Integrate Guided Journaling
into Your Sacred Self-Care Rituals

Pair your journaling with whatever emotional comforts already work for you. Herbal tea, soft music, a squishy pillow, or a ritual from the
Comforting Rituals Generator.

A few ways to weave journaling into your days:=...

A Morning Check-In: A few lines about what you need most before your day begins.

An Evening Release: Write what you’re letting go of or what helped you feel safe today.

An Energy Reset: When you notice heaviness, pause and write before doing anything else.

Journaling can be a gift. It offers a place to meet yourself again and again, no matter how crazy the world gets.

The Takeaway

Those of us who are called to heal, and kind others as well, are the first to hand out comfort but are often the last to offer it to ourselves. Guided journaling is one way to yourself permission slip to let go of that old pattern.

And little by little, journaling can help you find your way home to yourself. It's a beautiful act of love, for you and for the world you’re here to care for.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

August: Letting Go with the Lion's Gate Portal

8/8/2024

0 Comments

This is a time to let go of the past and welcome new beginnings. The Lion's Gate Portal offers a powerful opportunity for personal growth and spiritual awakening, helping you align with the universe's energy and turn your dreams into reality. - Lion's Gate Portal article.

Each month, Kerry K. creates a video sharing her intuitive guidance about what lightworkers and healers, and often, humanity in general, can expect to encounter in the spiritually or energetically. I was particularly struck by what she said in her video this month and I want to share some of my own thoughts about how to respond, and maybe inspire your own.

But today, I also am celebrating The Lion's Gate and if you are reading this on or near the 8th of August, make a wish for whatever you want to let go of and whatever you dream of manifesting in your life.

This is a personal month, where you will feel personally challenged to let go. For some you will feel like you have no choice and rather than letting go, it's going to feel that something is being taken away. It's only temporary, once the release happens the relief happens and healing sets in, rippling into the rest of your life. - Kerry K.

Your Soul's Plan for August

According to some spiritual teachers, we healers often do work on the spiritual level (maybe while we are asleep) that we are not aware of consciously. I believe that, and I think we are far more connected as a collective than we might think we are.

Kerry made reference to this in her video and said that as a collective, our souls came up with two plans for August that, if we can do them on the individual level, could have a big impact on humanity.

(1) One is about letting go of something that has been a challenge for you. Part of you may resist or try to hang on to whatever the issue is for you.

Hey! I wasn't done with that yet.

But if we can remain open to it, the freedom we experience as a result will be powerful. And it will affect every other part of our lives.

What do you need to let go of, that has been an ongoing challenge for you?

(2) The other shift is about taking your power back and steeping into it fully. That empowerment will be offered to humanity as a whole, but we can help by doing the alchemy in our own lives.

She asked us to consider this question: where am I disempowering myself?

Wherever that is for you, if you can take your power back, you are likely to experience a peace that not only affects you, but has an impact on those around you and humanity as a whole.

In order to create the empowerment we are now being called to, we each will have to let go of something that used to make us feel safe. What is that for you?

Part of what I just said - letting go of something that used to make you feel safe - is a quote in a book by Darla LeDoux.

So what shall we do, to help ourselves this month?

Fear is the Common Denominator

It is fear (or the desire to feel safe) that makes us cling to something that isn't good for us and fear that makes us give our power away. So let's take a look at the plan I've cooked up for us. :)

4 Questions, 1 Visualization
& 2 Hygge Tea Rituals

Mornings: During your morning tea ritual, I want you to sip and reflect on this question: what can I do today to feel safe and grounded?

Evenings: I want you to make a cup of tea each evening that you can, for the rest of this month, and ask yourself the following questions...

(1) What am I being called to let go of this month?

(2) How am I disempowering myself?

(3) How did fear show up today?

The Visualization: pause for a moment throughout the day and notice your breathing. After a few breaths, imagine that you are surrounded by warmth, coziness and love.

Picture them emanating from a warm glowing light within your heart. Now, imagine that that light is expanding until it both fills you and surrounds you.

Notice that it doesn't stop at the ground or floor, but continues into the earth and travels all the way to the earth's core, grounding you and anchoring you in safety.

~*~*~*~

Wondering when you'll find time for the visualization? Tie it to something you do several times a day - going to the bathroom. :)

Chakra Healing to Help You
Let Go & Feel Safe

Because fear is often the reason we hang onto the things we need to let go of, I believe that finding new ways to feel safe in every area of our lives needs to be part of our ongoing game plan. And heading into fall, you may want to consider practices that continue the work in a deeper way.

For example, with chakra healing. It's a mind-body-soul practice that can be life-changing as you let go, nurture, heal and empower your life.

But I suggest a slightly different focus. As you work on balancing and healing your chakras, bring safety to each one, not just the root chakra.

And empower each one, not just the solar plexus.

So you want to make it safe to trust yourself and your life, to be creative, to take back your power, to open your heart, to find your voice and your purpose, to listen to your intuition and to connect to your own divinity and to Spirit. And when you feel safe to take back your power, you'll do it in each of those ways.

Watch this website and stay tuned. I'm putting together a chakra healing resource for you that will include meditations to help you feel safe. When it's ready, I'll link to it above.

My Own Healing Intentions

There are several areas where I have been challenged in big ways, and I would welcome freedom in any of them. My relationship with money is one I mentioned last week, but I would also like to let go of limiting beliefs around power, agency and what I am capable of creating in my life.

And that would be right on time, because empowerment was one of the things she mentioned.

Dare I intend healing in more than one area? I'm going to need more rest!

But returning to the chakras and creating safety will make it easier.

My wish for the Lion's Gate Portal is that it returns me to my memory of who I am (the infinite me) and deepens my access to my wisdom and abilities. I also believe it will align me with how the spiritual rescue mission we healers and lightworkers all are on is meant to play out in my life, specifically.

Wishing you powerful magic as you step into the portal today!

love, Jeanine

5 Ways to Create a Daily Mini Meditation Retreat

4/28/2024

6 Comments

Imagine a gentle, loving energy within you, Try to see its bright spark of light and feel its warmth in your heart. Imagine it expanding until it fills your heart, your body and your energy field. This light represents your divinity, your inner goddess. Take a moment to breathe in her love. Hold it in your heart space & savor it, then share it with the world as you exhale.

I created that little guided meditation for two reasons. One, to demonstrate how easy it can be to connect with your goddess self through meditation and visualization. And two, to show you that even a one-minute meditation can be powerful.

Using Meditation to Connect
to Your Divinity

As healers and lightworkers, connecting to your divine self is imperative. It's the foundation for your entire new earth mission and your ascension.

So let's look at easy ways to make sure you not only meditate every day but can make it feel like a retreat.

Now, with lots of practice, you will eventually be able to connect with just your intention to do so. And hopefully, stay connected.

But meanwhile, let's make connecting to your inner goddess as easy as we can.

5 Ways to Create a Daily
Mini Meditation Retreat

Create a routine that gives you a chance to slow down and relax for a while.

One: What to Plan for Your Daily Meditation Routine

Here are some steps that you can take to start your daily meditation routine...

(1) Find a quiet spot in your home where you won't be disturbed.

(2) Get comfortable enough to sit for at least for at least 5 minutes, and then work up to 15 or more.

Save the one-minute meditations for mindful moments throughout the day, but have a dedicated meditation time where you can spend more time in stillness.

(3) You can start your meditation practice with goddess breathing.

Close your eyes, and get comfy. Then take deep breaths in, breathing in your inner goddess, and when you breathe out through your mouth, release the goddess frequency to the world.

Repeat the process several times until you feel calm and at ease.

Two: Find an Ideal, Comfy Spot in Your Home

What do you want to have in your meditation space?

You could choose the floor, a roomy chair with comfy pillows, or you could sit on your bed with pillows behind you. You could light your favorite candle, play ocean sounds or music, or add other things that feel cozy.

You also could create an aromatherapy room spray or choose essential oils for your diffuser.

You might choose a crystal you want to hold in your hand while meditating, or create an altar with a crystal grid dedicated to spiritual connection.

What would make it special? What would make it feel like a retreat?

Three: Use Guided Meditations

Now, there's nothing wrong with simple sitting in stillness and doing your goddess breathing. You could place your hands on your heart and repeat an affirmation, feeling it reverberate beneath your hands.

But the promise of a guided meditation is that it might be easier to release your brain from its tireless service.

And a guided meditation can be worded in such a way that it helps you with exactly what you have in mind - connecting with your goddess self, or trusting that connection. Or letting go of the false self. Letting go of the past. Etc.

What appeals to you about the idea of creating a daily mini meditation retreat?

See you tomorrow!
