The Intuition Journal

by Jo Chun Yan

A calming daily companion to help you connect to your higher inner wisdom and live more in alignment with your heart - feeling more decisive, creative, fulfilled and at peace, with crystal clarity on how to achieve your goals and dreams.

At its core, intuition is the act of conscious listening - to our body, to the whispers of our heart, to the moments of inspired insight that come to us. This beautiful, understated journal has been specially designed to encourage you to 'listen' more, get to know yourself better and really explore and honour your most heartfelt wishes and desires.

A brief introduction explores what intuition really means, the importance of rituals and the path that the journal will take you on. The rest of the journal is then divided into four sections: Preparing Sacred Ground, Nurturing the Seed, Evolving into Seedlings and Flourishing in Full Bloom. Each of these nature-inspired sections covers 13 weeks, with each week focusing on a particular aspect of intuition and growth, from recognizing what you need to let go of in life, to exploring both the light and shadow aspects of yourself, to envisaging what you feel most drawn to nurture.

A combination of thought-provoking insights, playful interactive prompts, nourishing guided rituals and space for daily reflections allows users to both tune into intuitive moments and decide on intuitive actions. By spending time with the journal each day, readers will embark on a journey of continuous positive perspective shifts, not unlike a meditation practice, that will ultimately help them lead a more meaningful, purpose-filled life.

For some people who are possibly predisposed to being pessimistic like myself, changing to even a slightly more positive and trusting mindset seems like an almost impossible task but through small steps and books with guidance, you can be helped towards living your best life. However, as stated, this is much more of a workbook with directed tasks than an informative guide to intuition. There is some excellent information that appears right at the beginning but then it's all tasks and suchlike after that. I knew that it wasn't going to all be dedicated to information but I really thought that there would be more than there is.

This effectively means you need to buy an information guide and this separate book when it would've been more economical and helpful for the two to be contained within one volume. It was certainly a bit of a disappointment although I can't really say that it is inaccurately described; I just expected more. If you are looking for a book that helps you become more in the moment by doing select tasks in your day to day life this is a good option but if you have come looking for knowledge this isn't the right book for you. Many thanks to Watkins Publishing for an ARC.

I really like this workbook! I flipped through it as an eARC and enjoyed the ideas it presents enough that I may order myself a print copy to actually fill out the sections and follow through the 13-week program. I do think it's important to note that this is a workbook with tasks and goals, not just a book about intuition, so be sure you're aware of what to expect going into it.

Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This book has some good concepts, but it could use a little more practical structure to really help the reader. There might need to be more a program, less of a "do what feels right approach." Instead of asking, "How much time do you think you can spend on it?" it would be better to recommend a minimum amount, or give some examples--"Person A manages to complete the activities in 10 minutes, Person B devotes 30 minutes to it," etc. For journalling, the author says "write as much--or as little--as you want." It could use more specifics to be memorable.

Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for a digital ARC.

More Workbook Than Journal

This book starts with a nice discussion of intuition but pretty quickly turns into a solid workbook that guides you through four different phases of working with your intuition. I enjoyed the initial, though brief, look at the topic and the author's take on it. I like that she incorporated other modalities into the book as well, like crystals and chakras. I, too, believe in the unseen connections between body, mind, and spirit. If you feel like exploring your intuition, this workbook might be just what you're looking for.

Some really wonderful ideas, exercises, and affirmations in here, and I like the concept of having a journal that's also a self-development course. However, overall this simply wasn't for me.

I can possibly see myself working through this one day. But not at this point in my life.

From iphelia.com’s Editor’s Bookshelf review: Jo ChunYan’s book led me to a deeper dive into what intuition, and a few constellated forces, mean to me. It won’t strike everyone’s fancy as it comes with its fair share of chakra talk, references to crystals, and so on, but while other reviewers are divided about whether it is too detailed or too general—more for the developed intuitive or the person just beginning to explore their intuition—to my mind, The Intuition Journal is space.
It’s an invitation to discipline, which is something I need in my life. When I was little, my mother read Our Daily Bread devotionals in the mornings. This was comforting. It was ritual and spirituality combined. It was something I expected to grow into when I was an adult but haven’t. I intuitively know I need routines when it comes to meditation, prayer, exercise, and so on, and I’m happy to see ChunYan, a young woman who obviously cares a great deal about aesthetic (she’s a designer), is inventing and investing in her own unique ways of holding space for others as they develop the discipline they need.

I believe this could be helpful for someone just beginning to work with their intuitive self, but keep in mind that it’s a workbook, not a journal. It’s a very left-brained way to go about working with intuition, which I found rather jarring. The info at the beginning was very helpful and a lot of thought went into the structure. I’ve been highly intuitive for most of my life, and I would find working with my intuition this way to be too rigid and formulaic.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is a cute journal. It is hard to imagine what it would look look in phyiscal form as electronically it is lacking. It could be improved with more pictures and a consistent structure. What I did like about this book, beyond the reflective questions which could go deeper, are the various helpful practices such as using a singing bowl to cleanse a space after sickness etc.

Loved the premises of this book that we are all born with intuition, but we all need to refine it. I totally believe it in that. I really enjoyed the information from this book and see myself returning to it frequently. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

A nice workbook to make your way through the year. divided into four thirteen week sections so you could start at time during the year (not date specific). Nice places to keep track of progress and things to do to help with your intuition and yourself as a whole.

I was skeptical as to how this workbook would help me in my everyday life, but it has done just that! You have to commit to completing the exercises in the workbook each day or it will not be as beneficial. I received this as as ARC and am ordering it to give to friends.
