Poetic Resurrection

Sacred Land of Wishes & Dream poetry reading

This poetry book came into being from dreams and meditations. Below is an excerpt from the introduction and a reading of Sacred Land of Wishes and Dreams.  Each stanza stands on its own and the last stanza in the book brings the entire poetry collection together.
FOLLOW: Akashic Dreaming Through Time captures the essence of life and its difficulties in continuing to pursue our beliefs even though they might no longer serve us throughout our lives.
Every stanza emulates the traveling soul.  The individuals’ experiences from anger to forgiveness and acceptance which guides us home.
 
Sacred Land of Wishes & Dreams
Grinding of mortar and pestle matches the passing steam engine train’s sound. Healing herbs swish in frantic anticipation of healing the starburst wounds of paleface rifles. The humble love of Earth while land condenses under other’s domination. Sorrow for sacred land of wishes and dreams. Mix Trail of Tear's elixir into the unknown earth. I followed.

Perceptions of Becoming with Maryam Ghouth

In this episode, we discuss the three-part poetry film Journey of Becoming. A reading of the poem Your Autonomy,  (part I) of ‘The Journey of Becoming’, which is a series of philosophical poetry films about self-realization. The purpose behind this film is to describe the struggles we face when we step away from the trodden path to follow our own unique path. 
Maryam Ghouth is of Persian, Saudi, Scottish heritage and leads a quiet life in Dubai where she spends most of her time reading, writing, recording, and creating poetry films. 
She composes and narrates stories about different facets of the human experience in collaboration with musicians, artists, and filmmakers to create immersive audio tracks, poetry films, and experiential art. 
The topics she covers range from existential crises to love and the fear of loss. She combines the tenets of psychology with the big questions of philosophy, challenges social narratives, ponders existential unknowns, and gives voice to the raw emotions undulating the human condition.''

Affirmation Meditation for Artists & Performers

As an actor and singer for many years there’s been a trend. I practice and memorize my lines to give a performance. I sometimes nail the audition and wonder what went wrong when I don’t book the job. Self-doubt and the array of questions. Am I too short, too overweight, too skinny, too tall, am I talented? I need the job to pay my bills/rent. As Matthieu Ricard writer and Buddhist Monk state: Anyone who enjoys inner peace is no more broken by failure than he is inflated by success.
We ask so many questions about an audition and yet, we have no control over the outcome. If we did our best and were true to ourselves and the character – this is where our commitment ends. We are enough. We’re empathic beings putting our heart and soul into our art. If we continue thinking, how could I have done the performance differently we dwell in the past. We can’t change the past. The pandemic caused many of us artists, to evaluate our decisions, our passions, and our worth. Know that you are enough. You have value and you are powerful. Keeping your power and relinquish the perception of what life should be. Life is smoother if you allow it to thrive. Quiet the mind and allow your soul to speak. What happens will happen – our will can only cover our own lives.
Two quotes From The Diary for Life
To be happy you don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be real and accept yourself as you are because you are already enough. Don’t lose your today while chasing your forever.
Make sure you’re in a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Take a deep breath, hold for the count of four and release to the count of six. Repeat three times.
 
I am enough
I feel I am enough
I have value
I feel my value
I am powerful
I accept my power
I am passionate
I feel passionate
I feel the soul of the character
I am the soul of the character
I am Joyful
I feel joyful
I am happiness
I feel happy
I am compassionate
I feel compassion
I am a pure soul
I feel my soul is pure
 
If your mind starts to wander bring it back to the breath.
Repeat 2 more times
Much love and blessings.

Perceptions of a Teenager with Isabella Lozada

In this episode, we interview my niece Isabella Lozada.  I wanted to get the perspective of a teenager and their thoughts regarding the pandemic before and after.
Isabella Lozada is a sophomore in high school. She enjoys playing lacrosse and hanging out with her friends. Her interests are in advertising and acting, and she plans on further pursuing them.

Perceptions of the Mind

In this episode, we discuss perceptions of the mind and how our thoughts create our behavior. We visit the soul and how our beliefs can block us. Some suggestions on exploring your perceptions. The poem Alone from Inspire Me: Perception is read.
Alone
Sitting on a solid branch
There’s clarity and confusion, just staring out
No movement in the muddled-
Beauty of branches and options
 
Perceiving thoughts of entangled leaves
Do I proceed into the unknown?
Can there be escape, once entered?
What’s there?
 
The mind tangles the web of life for us
Clarity holds thin branches, which
Negates the weight of experiences
Therefore, I sit still—frozen
 
Loneliness, chirping for attention
No sounds, utters, or voices
Ignored
Then movement
 
A lonely soul approaches
Understanding the perched cry
Holding strong on the solid branch
I’m heard, companion approaches
 
Kind eyes of sympathy
Warm white glow of self
Listened to anger of
Discontent and fear
 
Flying away
Above the tree of misperceptions
Where it’s all clear
Where the heart breathes

Perceptions of Expectations in Relationships with Dominey Drew

This week's guest is Dominey Drew. Listen to this fun and informative episode.  We discuss experiences and expectations in relationships. We talk about various gender misconceptions and stories that might derail a relationship.
She has offered a free call to our listeners. Let her know you heard her on Poetic Resurrection.  Contact her at DomineyDrew.com.
Dominey is the premiere in personal and relationship coaching.  Her direct, intuitive approach is unlike anything else in the industry - she solves in mere minutes issues that people have struggled with for decades. She's been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, and ThriveGlobal for her work, and loves nothing more than facilitating powerful transformation for her clients. 
Over her 18 years of experience and research in this field, Dominey has discovered a powerful, proven process to eradicate negative patterns in a matter of weeks. By using it herself she has transformed more completely than even she ever thought possible. Everything from her mindset, negative self-talk (completely gone), happiness level (from a 3 to a 10), physical body shape (weight loss), self-confidence, and success of both relationships and business was wildly transformed. 
Most people spend their lives struggling unnecessarily, never realizing that their struggle is self-created, or how to stop it.  They are frustrated, lonely, unable to move past the glass ceiling that’s holding them back. When in reality, one simple inner shift can shatter it and launch them forward into effortless success. So after using this process herself to overcome the most profound insecurities and self-sabotaging habits, there is no problem Dominey isn’t equipped to solve. 
Today, this is her passion and her life’s work. Welcome, to the next step of your evolution.
