What are the most powerful journal prompts for self-trust & self-confidence?

The answer may surprise you ...

It’s oracle and tarot cards.

Really? Yeah.

As your mind races, you overthink and wish you could find the off switch for your brain. If only there was a way to reconnect to your truth and get the answers you want quickly. 

I’ll help you free yourself from confusion and self-doubt, so you can get your sparkle back! Let’s turn down the volume on your noisy mind and tune into your intuition. This is NOT me giving you the answers, but finding the answers that are right for you, and in perfect alignment with your soul’s desire. 

This is something I discovered by trial and error through my daily journal practice.

Watch the video and see how I do that ….

More and more in my work, I’ve been busy using oracle and tarot cards for personal Energy Readings to help my clients who feel stuck. They are a powerful tool for empowerment and healing. They give enough clarity for clients to move forward in life with confidence. Lots of you are searching for more meaning in your life, or trying to work out what your life’s purpose is. This is a gentle and uplifting way to do it.

The intuitive hits give me goosebumps – you can visibly see people’s energy shift when it all falls into place for them.

‘You have such a lovely delivery. You say what needs to be said, but with kindness. Thank you! This is a brilliant way to make sense of the circus in my mind. I was surprised at the powerful insights that came from our session. I’m clear about what I need to do now. I’ve got confirmation of what I thought I wanted to do, but was uncertain about. I’m listening to my heart now – what is right for me instead of getting blown about by all the noise and drama.’

‘I’ve listened to my reading lots of times. I’ve taken notes but haven’t started the journaling prompts yet. I don’t know if your questions have done something subconsciously or what but I’m feeling so much better! It all seems to be coming together which is reassuring. So just wanna say thanks! I think it’s defo shifted some stuff for sure.’

Just for fun, I thought I’d share some facts about the cards and dispel the many myths about them. The cards were how how I discovered my intuitive gifts, and how I found my way back to myself. You have intuitive gifts too.

– I don’t use cards to predict the future because I believe that you have free will. You are a grown up with choices.

– The cards are a mirror and show you what you cannot see. They tap into your full body energy which you lose the connection with when you are all up in your head overthinking, procrastinating, catastrophising and doubting yourself. The cards will reveal the answers to everything that’s ever kept you awake at night! All the answers live inside of you and it’s just about learning how to tap into them and listen.

– The language of your intuition is colour and symbolism. As you use the cards, you develop a relationship and dialogue with them that builds self-trust and self-confidence. For example, I use the chakra colour system to identify where my energy is blocked in my body. If the card is predominantly blue, this represents my throat chakra and is a reminder to speak up and use my voice.

– My very first card reading was with a Reiki master back in 2007. It was from Doreen Virtue’s Mermaids & Dolphins’ deck. I pulled a dolphin jumping out of the water and it said, ‘Break Free‘. At the time I didn’t realise how trapped I was. I was so disconnected from my real self and that was the cause of my panic, anxiety and depression.

– I taught myself to read the cards by having readings, going to classes, watching readers on YouTube and reading lots of books. It turned out I was a natural. I used to think that psychics were just fraudsters that read crystal balls on Brighton pier. It’s not true! We are made of energy and energy can be sensed and intuited.

– I made this beautiful deck of cards which recently received lots of love by the Wildhearts on my 30-day journaling experience. Every day, for 30 days, you’ll receive a card as a journal prompt (with a short audio message from me), so you can experience the magic. 

– Protect and clear your energy after using the cards. You can keep your decks clear by leaving a crystal on them overnight or out in the full moon light.

– I do not work with dark energy. I empower clients by using the cards to tap back into their intuition. For many of us that grew up in emotionally neglectful or unsafe homes, this is the first thing to go. I was riddled with chronic self-doubt for years until I discovered journaling with the cards. Without this connection, we struggle to feel safe.

– It’s rumored that celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Taylor Swift, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, and Bruce Springsteen are known to have their cards read multiple times weekly, if not daily. In fact, I read somewhere that right before her wedding, Jennifer Lopez sought the advice of a Tarot card reader and then cancelled her wedding.
