May 2025 Inner Bloom - Messages from the Soul: A Symbolic Collage Journey

Hello, Blooming Insiders! 🌷 Welcome to our second art journaling session for Inner Bloom. In this month’s session, we’ll be exploring the quiet messages of the soul. The kind that speaks in symbols, textures, shapes, and fragments of beauty. This collage is not about perfection, it’s about trusting our inner guidance, exploring our creative nudges, and being fully present.

As you flip through magazines, some of the pieces that call to you may be shapes, some may be faces, and some might be a single word that resonates deeply. Let them come to you and surprise you! There’s no right or wrong way to create today. Let your curiosity be the compass. Let your hands follow what your heart feels. We are not here to explain, we are here to reveal.

Before you get started, I highly recommend doing a self-led meditation (could be between 5-30 minutes). Meditate in silence or put on some soothing music (ambient, solfeggio frequencies, sound bowls, or classical music) while asking yourself this question:

🌀 “What is my soul longing to show me today?” ⭐️

In the video, I share my method of how I keep track of all the messages I received during my meditation.

Once you’ve done your meditation, find a cozy spot, gather all of your materials, and let’s journal and collage together! Below, I’ve listed some materials you can use, some journal prompts, and a bonus activity.

To my lovely free subscribers, if this preview inspires you and you’d like to become a Blooming Insider, Inner Bloom is available to subscribers for $8/month. Each session is a mindful, creative ritual. We’ll alternate between guided meditations and art journaling, which will help you connect with yourself, your creativity, and your dreams in a fun and meaningful way.

I would be happy to see you join in on the fun! 🌷🌿✨
