Mental Health & Shadow Work Journal: Empower – Guided Prompts for Reducing Anxiety, Building Mindfulness, and Emotional Healing – A Tool for Self-Awareness and Personal Transformation

Great Book!
Very helpful journal! Thank you for making such an amazing book!

Beautiful design and thought provoking prompts
The design of this journal is just stunning. The purple is beautiful and calming. The fonts are gorgeous and make it feel so sophisticated and professional. The cover is sturdy and the metalic “empower” on the front us just *chef’s kiss!*The prompts are very thoughg provoking and insightful. I did 2 prompts in 1 sitting and feel like my brain has been turned to mush – in a good way! They made me really dig deep into my thoughts and feelings and examine myself in a way I haven’t done in a long time.Whether this is a gift for personal use, this journal will be beneficial to anyone who uses it. It’s definitely going to be something I use daily and I can’t wait to get into the deeper parts of it and grow more as a person while using it.

Got this for hubby cannot wait to get one for myself

Pricey and vague for beginners in shadow work, but good quality journal for daily reflection
So, I wasn’t a huge fan of this journal, and I think the reason why is because the journal is too broad in its scope with the shadow work. It has two main sections, with the first part being somewhat guided prompts, and the second being a whole lot of pages devoted to daily and weekly “snapshot” journalling.The first section is where I think it falls flat. It wants to incorporate these big concepts like “mindfulness”, “attachment style” and “child work”, but does it in a really blunt way, covering over a lot of bigger topics really shallowly. I’d say the average person who struggles with their attachment issues probably doesn’t even know what attachment styles are, led alone how it actually plays out in the daily attachments. But yet, this journal doesn’t explain any of that, and instead gives you a short prompt and just a singular page to write about your attachment style. And it does the same thing for the inner child concepts as well… it’s just somewhat vague or unguided prompts.The second part of the daily morning and evening journal I find to be more useful, because it gives specific prompts to follow for each part of the day. I do wish that the daily prompts varied a bit, still. They are the exact same prompts every single day. But it is more guided, in my opinion, and then also had a weekly checkup page after every seven days.The notebook itself is pretty, it’s a nice purple color with purple rings and has purple print on the inside. The rings are fairly large, so it’s a bit of a bumble to open and close it. It also has two ribbon bookmarks to keep your place, which is nice. So it’s fairly easy to use each day, and seems sturdy enough to hold up to daily wear and tear.Overall, it’s an alright journal. It doesn’t really dig as deep as you would think based on the description because it isn’t as “guided” as it claims. This book is definitely not therapy and won’t fix your problems, and I’d say for an average person who is unaware of shadow work practices in general, this book may be confusing. If you are already on a shadow work journey, and would like a place to journal an overview of the issues you have worked on, as well as a space to do daily bursts of morning and evening reflection, this journal is great. That being said, it’s not going to transform your life. I think the price of $27.99 is a little high for what it is as just a somewhat guided notebook.
