5 Life Changing Journaling Tips To Connect With Your Spirit Guides
If you’re an empath or intuitive feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, journaling can help ground your energy and open a clearer channel to guidance. Learn how intentional writing supports intuition, manifestation, and spiritual connection.
By Polly Green
Journaling is one of the simplest spiritual practices I know, and also one of the most powerful.
Not because it’s fancy or mystical, but because writing creates a meeting point between your inner world and the unseen support around you. When you put pen to paper, something shifts. Energy moves. Clarity lands. Guidance has a place to arrive.
I often think of journaling as a form of energetic communication. A quiet conversation between you and your spiritual team, your guides, ancestors, angels, or whatever language feels true for you.
When everything stays in your head, it can feel tangled and abstract. But the moment you write, you’re saying: This matters. I’m listening. I’m available.
Over time, you may notice that life starts to respond, through synchronicities, intuitive nudges, emotional clarity, or a deep sense of inner knowing.
You don’t need a perfect setup to begin. A simple notebook and pen are enough. What matters most is consistency and intention. Choose a time of day you can realistically commit to, even if it’s just a few minutes. Create a small ritual if it helps, a candle, a cup of tea, a few deep breaths to settle your nervous system.
One of my favorite ways to journal is by writing big-picture intentions.
These aren’t goals in the traditional sense. They’re states of being. Think less about what you want to get and more about who you’re becoming.
Instead of writing, “I want to make more money,” you might write:
I am abundant, creative, and open to receiving opportunities that align with my purpose.
This is where journaling becomes transformative. You’re not just asking for change, you’re teaching your body and nervous system what it feels like to live in that future reality now. You’re aligning thought, emotion, and energy in the present moment.
That’s the essence of manifestation. And it’s also how guidance becomes easier to hear.
If you’d like to go deeper into this practice, I walk through it step-by-step in the video above, including how to structure your journaling so it becomes a true conversation with your spiritual team.
Start where you are. Keep it simple. Let the page hold you, and see what starts to answer back. And if it sparks a feeling of “I want support with this”, I currently have a few openings for 1:1 work, always happy to connect with those who feel called.

How to interpret signs from the otherside a guide for empaths
Ever wonder if that “sign” was really from the Other Side or just your imagination?
In my new video, I explore the subtle, often overlooked ways guidance shows up: through timing, emotion, intuition, and presence. Perfect for empaths, the spiritually curious, or anyone wanting to tune in more clearly.
By Polly Green
I’ve been noticing signs for as long as I can remember. Small nudges, repeated numbers, feathers, songs, memories that show up exactly when I need them… all these little whispers from the Other Side.
But here’s the thing: it’s not always obvious. It’s not always dramatic. Most of the time, it’s subtle, quiet, and easy to miss if we aren’t paying attention.
In my new video, I dive into how the Other Side actually communicates, beyond the clichés. I share:
How to tell the difference between imagination, intuition, and real guidance
How timing, emotion, and presence can be signs
Why sensitive and empathic people often feel guidance differently
This video is full of stories from my own life, the work I do with clients, and the subtle ways guidance shows up when we slow down enough to notice.
If you’ve ever wondered: “Was that really a sign?” or “Am I overthinking, or am I intuitive?”, this one’s for you.
And if it sparks a feeling of “I want support with this”, I currently have a few openings for 1:1 work, always happy to connect with those who feel called.

Channeling for Awakening Empaths: Connecting with Your Spirit Team
As a female empath struggling with sensitivity to energy, channeling can offer a multitude of benefits for your emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being
By Polly Green
When I first started opening to my gifts, I thought channeling was something only “special” people did — mediums born seeing spirits, or psychics who came out of the womb knowing everything.
But the more I leaned into my own sensitivity, the more I realized:
channeling is actually one of the most natural things an empath can do.
And honestly?
It was the thing that helped me move from feeling overwhelmed and confused…
to feeling guided, supported, and deeply connected — not just to myself, but to my Spirit Team and the loved ones I’d lost.
That’s why I want to share this with you.
Not in some mystical, unreachable way…
but in a real, grounded, “you can absolutely do this too” kind of way.
What Channeling Really Is (in plain, human language)
Channeling is simply the practice of opening to a source of wisdom beyond your mind — your Spirit Team, your higher self, the Other Side — and letting that guidance flow through you in a way you can understand.
It’s less “woo-woo” than it sounds.
It’s a relationship.
A conversation.
A remembering.
For empaths and intuitives, it can be a lifeline — a way to:
sort through what’s yours and what isn’t
get clarity when your emotions feel loud or confusing
feel supported instead of alone
connect with loved ones who have crossed over
step into your intuitive gifts with confidence
And here’s the truth most people don’t tell you:
You don’t need to be psychic, special, or born seeing spirits to channel.
You just need willingness, safety, and a little guidance.
And if you’re already sensitive to energy?
You’re halfway there.
Why Channeling Changes Everything
Before I embraced channeling, I often felt like my emotions, the energy of others, and the world around me were just… too much. I would take on other people’s stress, grief, and chaos, and I didn’t even know where I ended and they began.
Channeling taught me how to:
Discern what is mine and what isn’t
Ask for guidance instead of trying to figure everything out alone
Trust that I’m supported, even in the messiest, most confusing moments
Over time, this practice transformed not just my spiritual connection but my life. I started making decisions from intuition instead of fear, setting clearer boundaries, and even helping others feel guided and supported — without getting drained.
How to Start Channeling as an Empath:
You don’t need a full ritual, a crystal grid, or a “special room.” You just need a willingness to slow down, tune in, and notice.
A few simple ways to begin:
Ask for Guidance Daily – Even a small question like, “What do I need to know today?” can start a flow.
Notice Your Sensations – Thoughts, feelings, body nudges, or images can all be messages.
Journal Your Insights – Write down anything that comes through; over time, you’ll see patterns and confirmations.
Connect with Your Spirit Team – You can speak aloud or silently invite guidance. Trust that it arrives in a way you’ll recognize.
Channeling isn’t about perfection. It’s about connection. And for empaths, it’s a powerful tool to move from overwhelm into clarity, confidence, and fully embracing your intuitive gifts.
Moving Forward
If you’re ready to transform overwhelm into confidence and clarity, trust your intuition, and reconnect with your loved ones and Spirit Team on the Other Side, this practice is for you. You can step into your gifts safely, confidently, and in a way that supports your growth every day.
Namaste

How Do I Align With My Life Purpose?
5 STEPS TO GAIN CLARITY IN YOUR RIGHT DIRECTION.
By Polly Green
“We are each gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light.”
- Mary Dunbar
5 STEPS TO GAIN CLARITY IN YOUR RIGHT DIRECTION.
• By Polly Green
Discovering what you are here on earth to do in this lifetime may feel like a massive mystery.
We have all come in with a unique blueprint of gifts, talents, and abilities.
Often times our Dharma, or rightful duty, in this life isn’t what our ego necessarily jives with.
However, magically, we are pushed in the right direction, whether we like it or not.
“I want to see through the veil, and know the absolute truth of my being,” my inner voice whispered.
The wish became relentless, and all I honestly cared about.
When our deepest heart’s desire, called Sankalpa in Sanskrit, is repeated it is bound to come true.
The journey to see through the veil uncovered my latent psychic gifts and put the teachers in my path to teach me how to use them. Now I use my intuitive abilities to help others align with their life purpose.
This was not my initial conscious intention. However it was as if that little inner whisper had plans of its own, and now I find myself with a job I love and know deep in my being that it is my soul purpose.
“Ok, that’s great for you!” You may be saying.
“But how do I find my life purpose?”
HERE’S THE HOW:
5 STEPS TO GAIN CLARITY IN YOUR RIGHT DIRECTION.
1. LISTEN TO YOUR INNER VOICE.
In order to listen to your inner voice, it is imperative that it has space to speak.
Make time each day to get quiet.
Directly upon waking is the clearest time.
Sit quietly for 5 minutes and ask your inner guidance for direction.
2. SET A CLEAR INTENTION TO RECEIVE YOUR SANKALPA.
If you already know your deepest hearts desire skip to step 3.
Get into a quiet meditative state.
Have a pen and notebook next to you.
Connect with guidance.
Ask: “Dear Source, please make my deepest hearts desire clear. Thank you! It is done. Show me.”
Allow space in your heart for the answer to come.
Write down the guidance you receive.
3. ASK FOR YOUR HEARTS DESIRE TO MANIFEST.
Now you know your Sankalpa.
While in a meditative state or after yoga practice in Savasana, repeat your Sankalpa three times every day.
4. BELIEVE IT IS POSSIBLE.
You are worthy of living your life to its highest potential.
Feel the feeling of living your purpose now.
Trust that the path will unfold.
Follow the signposts.
5. GRATEFULLY RECEIVE YOUR SACRED DUTY AND AGREE TO DO IT WITH GUSTO.
Express gratitude when your wish is fulfilled.
Agree that you will carry forth and fulfill your life purpose with grace, enthusiasm, and gusto.
Continue to ask guidance to show you the next right steps.
Embrace the journey.
In conclusion, gaining clarity in your life purpose comes when you make inner space and set a clear intention, state your hearts desire three times while in Savasana or meditation every day, and believe it is possible. When your Sankalpa arrives, agree you will carry forth and complete your life purpose with gusto!
Namaste!
