Welcome to day 1!
Yesterday I sent an email with pre-work. I asked you to journal for 10 minutes - however you usually tend to journal, whatever your practice is (if you have one). This will serve as a "Before." If you haven't done that, you might want to do that today and push this Day #1 exercise back one day.
Here's what you'll need for this 5-day journey...
A quiet space where you won’t be interrupted
A notebook or journal you’re inspired to write in
A pen that’s comfortable to hold with ink that flows freely
Willingness to surrender what you may already know about journaling
Enthusiasm to explore something new
You just might be surprised by the wisdom already waiting to flow!
Let’s begin!
Watch the Day 1 video in the next section.
Today's prompt is provided at the end of the video.
With warmth and anticipation,

P.P.S. If you’re a women in peri- or post-menopause and are working toward more inner peace, more personal power, and a deeper sense of purpose, I invite you to join my new FB community "Your Powerful Pause": https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourpowerfulpause. We're just getting started there, but it'll be a great space in which to discuss your experience with the challenge and post any questions you might have as you work through the exercises.
📩 Welcome to Day 2: Dropping In — Shifting from Thinking to Receiving
A housekeeping note: I apologize that these emails are arriving later than I'd planned. A tech snafu with automation reset to 5:23pm ET yesterday, so the sequence for initial subscribers is delayed. All subsequent subscribers will receive subsequent day's emails exactly 24 hours after signup. Thank you for your patience. I also happen to be launching this while Mercury is in retrograde I've been informed! LOL.

So, how did your first Intuitive Journaling™ session go?
If you noticed yourself shifting—from left-brain busy thoughts to unexpected insights—congratulations, you’re already beginning to tune into the deeper current beneath the surface!
If you haven’t yet, don’t worry…keep going!
Today, we explore what it means to ground, center, and drop in.
Before we ever write a word, we begin by coming home to ourselves.
We breathe.
Soften.
Open.
Your tutorial video today will guide you through a simple ritual to help you quiet the mind and connect with your body so you can hear the softer voice within—the one that KNOWS.
✨ You’ll learn how to tell when you’ve shifted from thinking to receiving.
✨ You’ll also be introduced to your Higher Self as a loving guide through this process.
At the end, you’ll receive your journaling prompt.
I invite you to notice:
✨ In what way does this feel different from yesterday?
✨ Does this voice feel warmer, gentler, or more spacious?
There’s no right way to do this—only your way.
Keep showing up. Keep listening.

📩 Welcome to Day 3: The Whisper & Wisdom Behind the Words
By now, you may have noticed how quickly the left-brain voice wants to jump in:
“What’s the point?”
“Am I doing this right?”
“Don’t forget the grocery list!”
Don’t get discouraged, that is totally normal!
Today’s lesson is about gently redirecting the pen when that taskmaster shows up—and learning how to hear what your Higher Self is really trying to say beneath the mental noise.
The tutorial will help you:
Recognize when your “doing” brain is dominating
Shift into the perspective of your being
Identify the language of your Higher Self (hint: it’s more compassionate than you think)
Today, write slowly.
Breathe between sentences.
Allow a dialogue to emerge—between your everyday self and your inner wise one.
Let the whisper behind the words lead you.
With love,
Susan

📩 Welcome to Day 4: Allowing Your Higher Self to Take the Pen
You've been tuning in…
Softening…
Listening…
And now, you’re ready to let your Higher Self take the pen.
Today’s practice is about surrendering control and allowing the unfamiliar to come through.
You may notice:
Words that feel poetic or symbolic
Unexpected metaphors or images
Insights & crystal clarity
This is soul language.
It doesn’t need to make perfect sense right away. It just needs to resonate.
Remember:
No censoring.
No fixing.
Let the pen move and watch what flows.
This is a sacred moment—your Higher Self, speaking through you onto paper.
I’m so proud of how far you've come!
Keep going!
With love,
Susan

📩 Welcome to Day 5: Your Inner Oracle — The Journey Begins Here
Here you are!
Five days ago, you opened a new page.
You set an intention to listen more deeply.
And now… something has shifted.
You’ve felt the difference between journaling to document and journaling to receive.
You’ve met your Higher Self on the page.
And now, you're learning: the wisdom has always been within you.
Today’s tutorial will help you:
Reflect on the journey so far
Understand how to make this a daily sacred practice
See intuitive journaling as a doorway to transformation...a way of BEING and not just something to DO.
Let this one breathe.
No rushing.
No expectation.
Just curiosity… and compassion.
🎥 Watch Day 5’s video in the next section.
For now, just know—I see you.
And I celebrate your beautiful unfolding!
Please take a few minutes over the next day or two to review your Intuitive Journaling messages and reflect on this experience. Tomorrow I'll reach out for your thoughts, feedback, and/or questions. Having your input will help me continue to improve and develop this to help others.
Appreciate you playing full out!
