Journal Prompts for June 16th
Find a relaxing location and lay down. Take a few deep breaths and pay attention to how your body feels. Listen to music without words if it helps you relax, or try out a meditation practice if that helps you relax (here’s a free meditation for intuition that I like). If thoughts about tasks or your day come to your mind allow them to float freely in and out of your mind without attaching to them or following them. Continue to take deep breaths and when you are relaxed and “everyday” thoughts have started to diminish let your mind wander and watch for quick images, ideas, or phrases that are floating around in your mind. Treat these images, ideas, and phrases as important (though not necessarily literal) information. This might take a while (and it might even take more than one try doing this practice). What phrases, ideas, snippets of information, or images came to your mind? Write about them. Why do you think these things came into your mind? Interpret this information like you would interpret a dream (you can even use the free association method you tried earlier with the word “blossom” if you want) and write about it. If you’d like more tips on dream interpretation methods check out the post here.
