"I've designed this journal to help you begin a process of self-reflection. The goal is simple: to get to know yourself better. To make this practice easier, I offer you questions to answer and sentences to finish, with the goal of completing two pages for each one. Like the mind that feels scattered during the beginning stages of meditation, the first page of journaling may feel more like reporting than connecting with a wise part of yourself. If you keep at it, you'll soon find that your mind and heart come into alignment and you begin to write from a deeper, more feeling-oriented place. Writing from this place will connect you with the voice of your soul."
