Why I Recommend Poetry

My friend, Cecily Schuler, expresses.

So what?

Here’s what: 

Expression of painful wounding can heal your life.

Expression of joy can increase your love and appreciation of life.

You may have tumbled to the notion that I frequently recommend the reading and writing of poetry to clients and to you.  I even co-authored a book – God, Death, and Poetry: A Magically Sacred Way to Make Your Life Rich, Deep, and Whole.  I recommend it to you.

Writing poetry can be a challenge, but it can help you to express more deeply and clearly than any other way.  Paradoxically,  it can help you to express what you can’t put into words.

Sharing poetry can connect you to others.  Even unshared, you will feel more in touch with your own inner life.  It works.

Cecily uses poetry better than most.  I applaud her not so you can imitate her poetry, but so you can feel her courage, wit, and wisdom…  She jumps off the cliff and expresses her honest truth.  Emulate that.

Bumblebees

Copyright Cecily Schuler 2012

Putter putter petal pusher 
Stumbling through thick curtains of spring breezes,
falling into open mouthed spread legs of flowers, 
catching yourself in surprise and subtle delight,

you indelible flirt. 

The creation of public

fornication is shameless

and required. A heartbreaking sacred

act of selfless service, you own this. But

really, you own nothing

but what is, so find the fuzzy

softness that best matches

your own. Roll between silky

sheets, in smutty pollen, nuzzle down

snuggle into communion between earth and sun. 

Smother yourself in the delightful prospect

of creating something you will

never see, something that will feed

creatures you may never comprehend. 

Listen.

Do we ever know the true impact

of our efforts? Do we ever know

the significance of becoming

who we are, who we bumble

to be?          

I love the poem.  I aim to live my life out of it.  It’s what I have been trying to share with clients for years.  She articulates and expresses these rich ideas brilliantly.

Chakras

You may be familiar with seven energy centers in the body related to nerve plexuses and endocrine glands – the charkas.

You intuitively know the heart chakra, right?  You will find the next one in your throat.  Further up, the famous third eye.

Often we want to connect our heart to our head, the throat chakra bridges that connection.  Writing poetry will help you to link your deepest heart knowing to your head knowing.  Without this connection you can act and feel a bit nuts.

Speak your truth.

Medical note: The throat chakra can be related to any throat or dental condition.  If you have one of those, think about expressing.

For example: a painful tooth – express some anger.  Express vs. acting out.  Write a poem instead of punching someone.

Write Poetry

Write poetry.  I challenge clients to write poetry.  Aim to compress all you feel into 3 or 4 lines as a challenge and to prevent wordy rambling.

You know you’re done when you read the poem and it evokes all the feeling you have in each corner of your soul.

You do not need to share your poems with anyone else although I recommend you share it with God and at least one other person.

You don’t have to memorize your poems.  And it can be useful as a way of honoring your inner child, or your creative spirit.

Walk in beauty,

William
