This course teaches you the basics of my personal SoulPage journaling technique. For myself I wanted a journaling method that went beyond reporting my daily happenings (boring), or my emotional weather (kind of repetitive), or my thoughts on my to do's (again pretty boring). I wanted a journal that incorporated those things, for sure, because they are the prima materia (alchemical term meaning most basic material) of my experience here on the planet. 

But, in my many years of personal dream work I have touched a deeper awareness that is beyond my conscious mind. I wanted to experience that in my journaling process too. I found when I incorporated elements of the SoulPages method (intention, color, image, line, magical coincidence) I could make that connection. 

I felt more connected to the whole of life and that brought a deeper meaning to my daily experiences. I also found I could productively process historical material as it came up. Journaling became fun and something I looked forward to. 

This method is still in an experimental stage. But if you would like to learn what I have discovered so far, I would love to teach you. 

You might wonder how much time does this journaling method take? Well I don't have a lot of free time either. So, I developed techniques that could be quickly applied, dry quickly and were portable. It was important to me that my journal did not feel too precious (like I could mess it up and it wouldn't really matter). This helped me be more spontaneous. Ironically, because of this, it did become precious but in a different way.

While journaling everyday is an ideal, frankly that doesn't always happen for me. So I will give you ways to stay connected to your journaling process, techniques on how to quickly add images, ideas for paying forward to your future self and giving back to your past self, and how to develop your own symbol library. While adding an image from a magazine, sticker, bought stamp or stencil can be totally satisfying, other times I want to add my personal "mark." So this class teaches you how to do that even if you think you have no talent or don't have an art background (I don't). But most importantly you will begin to learn how to use all of those methods and techniques to work with your own prima materia and deepen your everyday experience and make meaning of your personal life story.
