Kintsugi has been critical to my mindfulness practice. Voice journaling offers me an opportunity to share my thoughts and feelings without judgement. I don't need to worry about how it may sound to the listener, whether it may be that I'm rambling or how I'm feeling about any specific experience or topic. I can fully express myself -- and express a lot! -- in a few minutes. When I read the transcribed text, I have the opportunity to reflect on those feelings and why I'm feeling that way. I really love the insights the app provides about my emotions too. Sometimes, I may not be as aware of how I may be feeling or how certain topics have been coming up in my life. Voice journaling gives me that chance to articulate and acknowledge my experiences and feelings. That my experiences and feelings are valid and I shouldn't in any way feel guilty or ashamed of them. I have continued to cultivate more self-compassion and self-awareness through Kintsugi. It's been such a great complement to using Calm, my go-to daily mindfulness app to listen for insights from a seasoned practitioner, and Kintsugi for me to vocalize those insights and become the practitioner. I highly recommend the Kintsugi app!!
