The Power of Journaling in Your Reiki and Mediumship Development

Learn three reasons why you want to make journaling a habit in your journey.


Journaling is a powerful tool that plays an integral role in Reiki and mediumship development. It goes beyond merely recording events of your day; it becomes a reflective process that provides validation, understanding, and a sense of growth. Here are three reasons why I encourage the reiki and mediumship students who find their way into my teaching practice to create a consistent journaling routine.


Validation of Experiences


One of the most significant benefits of journaling is the validation it offers. As you document your reiki and mediumship experiences, you create a record that serves as tangible proof of your journey. This can be especially important when you encounter doubt or skepticism—both from within and from others. Your journal becomes a personal archive of your experiences, affirming the reality of your gifts and providing a sense of confidence and certainty in your abilities.


Understanding How Your Channeling Gifts Work


Channeling spirit or energy is a highly personal journey, and each person's gifts manifest uniquely. Journaling allows you to track patterns, understand triggers, and recognize the ways your channeling gifts work for you. By documenting your sessions, the sensations you feel, the messages you receive, and your interpretations, you can analyze these entries over time to gain a deeper understanding of your abilities. This process of reflection helps you fine-tune your skills and become more attuned to your mediumship practice.


Personal Development and Growth


Journaling is not only about recording experiences but also about witnessing your personal development and growth. As you look back through your journal, you can see how far you've come in your reiki and mediumship journey. You’ll notice the evolution of your thoughts, the increasing depth of your insights, and the expansion of your abilities. This can be incredibly motivating and inspiring, as it provides a visual representation of your progress and encourages you to continue on your path.


So, for those of you hesitant to get start, please remember that the journaling is an invaluable tool in your reiki and mediumship development. It provides validation, helps you understand your unique gifts, and shows your personal growth over time. By making journaling a regular part of your practice, you create a resource that supports and enriches your journey, empowering you to explore and embrace your reiki and mediumship abilities fully and with more confidence.
