Re: New journey +
Unfortunately, abilities are not meant to be carried over in New Journey+.
From the patch notes: "This new feature gives those of you who’ve beaten the game a menu option to start from the beginning, gaining access to Meditation Training game modes (exclusively available in NJ+). You’ll also keep all of their collectibles from a previous playthrough while abilities will have to be relearned."
