Journaling - Day 2

This is Day 2 of our 30 days of journaling. Each day we pull an oracle card and use it as a guide for our journaling time together. I love journaling and try to do it every day! Writing about what I'm feeling is my own "therapy" and has gotten me through the toughest times. It's also a wonderful way to look back and see how far I've come! Join me in this 30-day challenge to journal every day! Make it as long or as brief as you want and don't worry if you must skip a day. Sometimes life gets in the way but commit to doing it as often as possible with me!

Today's inspiration: Sacred Forest Oracle by Denise Lin - #29 Phoenix Transmutation.

Thank you for all the feedback and positive comments. As a new teacher, I'm continually learning and improving and appreciate the patience and support as I learn to create tracks. This was a longtime dream of mine, and I am so grateful for the encouragement!

Hello and welcome beautiful InsightTimer community.

We are on day two of our 30 day commitment to journaling.

So today as in the last session I have pulled a card for us and this one is from the Sacred Forest Oracle by Denise Lin and the card I pulled is number 29 Phoenix Transmutation.

And according to Denise Lin,

At the edge of the forest rises a mountain.

The journey to the top is long and arduous.

The path has boulders and landslides that make it difficult to discern what lies ahead.

Yet you climb knowing that something remarkable awaits you.

As you finally reach the top you peer over a boulder to see a large pyre.

An old tired Phoenix comes into view,

His wings dragging only to heave himself into the fire.

The flames leap higher and higher.

As they die down out of the ashes arises a renewed Phoenix with bright colors that outshine the sun.

He looks directly at you with a fierce intensity before soaring off the mountaintop.

Your life is changing perhaps in ways you didn't expect but it is wildly wonderful.

Transmutation is the act of changing from one state of being or one element into another.

The Phoenix is legendary for his transmutation and fire.

In the flames he is reborn leaving behind his old and tired self to become a passionate wild and free bird.

Something that you might have thought would never change is changing into something amazing.

It's not an ending rather it is a bright shiny new beginning.

Situations that seemed lackluster are transmuting into fabulous opportunities.

Release expectations and limited thinking for things are not as they seem.

The spirit of the Phoenix says a big change is at hand in your life.

What feels like an ending is really a beginning.

Rising out of the flames and ashes you are entering a new cycle.

Even if life seems murky in areas this is only the clearing before a rebirth.

Hang in there the best is yet to come.

So I love this card because it reminds me of yesterday's card which was also about changes and new things.

So I'm gonna set five minutes on the clock and we can continue journaling about changes.

All right my friends so that was five minutes on the clock.

I hope you had some time to journal and got some good thoughts out like I did and feel free to continue journaling and keep thinking about those changes and transmutations and tomorrow we will move on to day three.

Thanks again.

Reviews

Loved it! Can I write anything about my health challenges (changes) in the last two years.

Remind me after pain there is hope and rebirth to be in peace with myself

I loved the Phoenix image, immediately connected it to my ideas and kept writing longer. That's a fun journey, Violet, thank you! ✨

Yay Violet! Thanks again for helping me to get started on journaling! I appreciate you so much 🦋❤️🦋

I’m really enjoying the journaling. It’s helping me get to back to journaling more besides my morning pages. I’m a writer/ooet who hasn’t written in sometime. Thank you for the nudge.

A insightful card and journal prompt to fly and be free. NAMASTE

I loved this card today. Thank you! I’ve been waking up feeling heavy, lifeless, overwhelmed by how much I DONT feel . But this card got something inside me moving again, awake and alive and wanting to be here… wanting to try again. Thank you Violet. You are a change maker in our lives. Know this.
