A Series of Short Whispered Poems to Relax & Fall Asleep To

I was inspired to write these the other day while giving myself some TLC while coming down from throbbing cramps. Using the idea of opposites that I've begun to understand better through yoga nidra & panchakarma, I decided to embody this by focusing on what felt healing to me & the opposite of the pain I was suffering. This led to writing these simple but highly significant & therapeutic poems. Although the essential oils patch I put on myself certainly helped, I believe that shifting my attention towards creative writing & my imagination also made a significant difference in bringing down my perception of pain. I was able to fall asleep after writing these poems. I'll be seriously weaving in this concept of balancing opposites in my embodiment for 2024, since I still have a lot of self-healing to do as I continue to recover from burnout & adrenal fatigue. Creativity gives us our power back. If you're interested in these ideas or prompts for your own trauma healing, or just need some creative inspiration to get out of a stuck, depressed, or painful place, you can find them here- https://www.teachwriting.org/612th/2021/3/16/5-poetry-activities-to-heal-during-a-pandemic ✍️🌬🧠🍦🥰📖📖📖 The poems I read to you tonight, in the order that I read them: 🌌 1. Eternal Bliss⚪️ 2. Breathing🔷️ 3. Poetry 🔮❤️💓 4. Distraction 😶 5. (Untitled) // (The Purpose of Distractions) 💆‍♂️💆‍♀️💆‍♂️🌟🧠🍦🥰✨️ 6. Time ⏳️🟡 7. Him 💓❤️💓................. 8. The Last Poem 🌱🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🌳 9. (Unwritten)... (but it will begin again...when the inspiration strikes). 🌏🌎🌍🪱😌 ✨️✨️✨️ Literally guys, there is no 9th poem. Only 8 here. But 9 is the place where nothing & everything exists & the inspiration is held. 😌⏳️🔵💫🌌 Just a warning that the whispers get louder and more dramatic at the 3rd reading of Distraction & the bit on the purpose of distractions... and then it calms down into my softer, normal, whispering voice again lol I just had too much fun recording this one & Distraction & the paragraph that follows after it are probably the climax or the greatest epiphany of this series, though they're all special and were enlightening for me. If you can get past my cliche reading of "Time," 3 times, then you'll get to enjoy the jems in "Him" & my vision of the end of times (& the beginning of another golden age) that's presented in "The Last Poem."
