Have you ever looked at your life and extracted lessons or guidance you recieved during the day?
When we examine our lives more deeply on an everyday basis, there is a lot more we can learn about ourselves. This also helps us achieve our potential. Paramhansa Yogananda highly recommends this practice. He said, “You should record your thoughts and aspirations daily.”
We can accomplish much more on the spiritual path when we focus our energy in a systematic way. The practice of keeping a journal can help us to watch our lives more consciously, carefully, and deliberately.
This course gives you a deeper understanding of Spiritual Journaling, through classes, handouts, and many experiential exercises. Add to your current practice, or begin afresh with the power of keeping a journal.

"At the end of each day you should sit down for a few minutes and review the day.” Say to yourself, “In the battlefield of today’s life, who won—my good or my negative tendencies? What have I learned? What have I seen? Am I more joyful today than I was yesterday? If not, what can I do to change that?"Paramhansa Yogananda
