Do I Need to Journal?
A Manifestation Journal truly works. For some people there is a profound magic in the simple act of writing. The focus you put into forming your thoughts into words that can be transferred to ink is a great way to “flesh out” the visualization of your goals.
Having a dedicated place to gather your thoughts and energies, not only helps you stay more organized, it can also act as a mental trigger. The very act of picking up that dedicated journal helps to focus your mind and thoughts.
The more regularly you use it the better. Every time you pick up your journal or even think about it, you are pouring energy into your goals.
Your Journal will become your go to place for reflection on how far you have come in both your personal life and your spiritual ability to manifest the things that you need in your life.
What is a Manifestation Journal?

It can include spellwork, meditations, guided imagery, intentions, recipes for spell bags, important astrological information, and everything else that you are doing to work towards your manifestation goals and dreams.
