Product Description
Book Description
Studies confirm what avid journalers have always known: that writing about difficult experiences helps the writer move forward. Many self-help books recommend journaling as a way to express emotions and explore past hurts -- as well as to simply get organized, make plans, and set goals -- yet few of the books offer advice on how to do it. In Journalution, Sandy Grason combines the writing guidance of Julia Cameron with the emotional nurturing of Shakti Gawain. With chapters including "Completing Your Incompletions," "Masterminding Your Destiny," and "Communicating with a Higher Power," the book balances basic instruction in the art of journaling with intimate entries from the author and her workshop participants. Activities, such as timed and stream-of-consciousness writing exercises and keeping a dream log, follow each chapter. Throughout, Grason offers guidelines and prompts, encouraging readers to pick up the pen and journal their way to greater self-awareness.
About the Author
Sandy Grason has been involved with journaling for more than 15 years. A former managing editor at Nurturing, a holistic parenting magazine, she has written extensively for Miracle Journeys Magazine. She lives in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

Journalution,
By Tami Brady "Whole Health" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Journalution: Journal Writing to Awaken Your Inner Voice, Heal Your Life, and Manifest Your Dreams (Paperback)
Sometimes, it's very hard to gain perspective during a difficult time. We see ourselves reacting in an unhealthy way or repeating the same mistakes like some sort of broken machine. Yet, we just can't seem to figure out why we such things or how to break the cycle.Journaling helps. It's very interesting. You can go for years repeating the same cycle and not see it but spend two weeks writing on a single fixated subject and suddenly you find that you can't deny these issues anymore. Everything is right there in black and white (or blue or whatever). Still, some people find that they need a little help getting started. That's what Journalution is for. It takes the fear out of the process and gives some really good questions to begin the exploration.

Save on Therapy Bills - Keep a Journal,
By Jenna Glatzer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Journalution: Journal Writing to Awaken Your Inner Voice, Heal Your Life, and Manifest Your Dreams (Paperback)
I honestly think people could save a lot of money on therapy bills if we all kept journals like Sandy suggests.I was a bit skeptical when I started reading-- why do I need a book to tell me how to write a journal?-- but my eyebrows became less furrowed as she won me over with really delicious prompts. That was the most valuable part for me; the prompts are get-to-the-core exercises, not trivial games. Even as I read them, my brain went into overdrive about all the things I wanted to write down. We all get to know ourselves better when we write down our experiences, our hopes, our frustrations. In doing so, we can be better in our other roles, too... when you learn to turn to your journal in times of stress, you tend to be much calmer when talking to the people who are contributing to your stress! In short, get your temper out on the page instead of blowing up at loved ones. Sandy's book favors substance over style, which I loved. It got me on the path toward the right questions to ask myself so I can find the right answers. If you're interested in writing therapeutically and becoming clearer about what you need to do to make yourself happy and/or fulfill your goals, this is a great book for guidance. Enjoy the path of self-discovery! --Jenna Glatzer, author of Outwitting Writer's Block & Other Problems of the Pen (and lots of other books, too!) 49 of 51 people found the following review helpful

Finding Insight Through Writing,
By Virginia Allain "(retired librarian)" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Journalution: Journal Writing to Awaken Your Inner Voice, Heal Your Life, and Manifest Your Dreams (Paperback)
I've kept a journal for over 30 years, but books like Journalution fascinate me. On my own, I tend to settle into a mundane description of what I did that day, complete with "lunched at Burger King." etc.A journal can be so much more, and this book certainly gets your mind to working and your ink flowing in new directions. The author also has a website with archives of her online newsletter. They include journaling prompts so you can sample her technique and see what it does for you. 35 of 36 people found the following review helpful

interesting, empowering, and liberating,
By Megha "rainclouds_archer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Journalution: Journal Writing to Awaken Your Inner Voice, Heal Your Life, and Manifest Your Dreams (Paperback)
This is one of the most interesting books on personal development I've ever read. There are no rules or guidelines, just lots of helpful suggestions and encouragement. I look at journaling in a whole new light now. I'm so much more relaxed, free, and honest than I used to be. I've found that journaling from the heart to be such an enlightening experience.I love the fact that Sandy Grason does not lay down "rules" about how to do things. Instead, she gives examples of what has worked for other people. You make all the decisions yourself so it is truly an empowering edeavor. |
