title: The journal as a guide for the healing journey.
abstract: The healing influence of the journal is now being recognized through research and in the practices of those who are using this modality. The journal is an important tool because it works as a catalyst for self-discovery and self-reflection. As nurses practice holistic living, the journal is a friend that helps nurture the self and lifts others to higher levels of empowerment on the journey of healing and wellness.
