In our first guest episode, part of a new series I am calling "Open Journal," soul seeker and writer Miranda Marsh is sharing an original work, guiding us through the process of soul walking. This concept wonderfully accompanies the concept of soul journaling, and I canât wait for all of us to try it for ourselves.
In this essay, Miranda shares more about what soul walking is and then takes us on a soul walk with her. After she reads the essay, I will be back to lead you through our meditation and journal prompts, which are meant to be completed after youâve gone on your own lovely soul walk.
To tell you a little bit more about Miranda: Miranda is a writer who explores issues around soul, inviting others to join her as she follows her own soul quest, diving deeper into the essence of who we are. She has her own Substack publication called âSeeking Soulâ: https://open.substack.com/pub/mirandamarsh.
If you want to dive deeper into your soul and enhance your connection to it, I encourage you to check it out and join me in becoming a subscriber.
Thank you all for listening, and I hope that Mirandaâs submission will inspire you to perhaps share your own writing and voice on the Soul Journaling Sessions podcast! I canât wait to share more of your work and hear your beautiful voices.

This weekâs episode is a little different. As a Pisces, I felt called to write a meditation specifically for this full moon in Pisces (6:36 PM PT today, August 30). Itâs also a special Super Blue Moon, and it is the second one of this month.
Instead of an essay and journal prompts, this week it is a meditation and journal prompts. The prompts directly relate to the meditation, and are meant to be completed after the meditation.
Grab any props you might want to support you during the meditation, and have your journal and favorite writing utensil close by, so you can flow right into the journaling after the meditation. Enjoy!
Share your insights and what you learned from your journaling with our community on Substack! Want a personal message for this full moon? I will also be pulling a Tarot or Oracle card for anyone who requests one in the comments for this episode. Visit souljournalingsessions.substack.com.
