I'm a big fan of free-writing. It can really help us to listen inwards, bypass our inner critic and allow thoughts, feelings and symbols to come to the surface without judgement. It can open a channel to the unconscious where we can find insights and clues from our inner world that are asking to be seen and noted.

At some point in our lives, we might begin to ask deeper questions such as; who am I really? What do I want beyond all the "shoulds". These are not just identity questions, they are soul-level questions. In Jungian theory, the journey toward answering them is called individuation.

Have you ever woken from a dream that felt meaningful only to forget it moments later? Keeping a dream journal invites you into a deeper relationship with your unconscious like an ongoing conversation between your waking self and the symbolic world within.
