Book Cover & Preview Text
The Pathway To Your Healing The air is clearing Is this romantic love? Perhaps that’s the glimpse Where most can relate Perhaps that’s the window To explore a different way The same fearless surrender To those that have found a lover But the only love that will last Is the kind that lives behind the masks What starts as a deep bond Can become jaded and detached As we let our concept of him or her Replace the love that has no hurt It seems a massive risk To lay our hearts into their hands All is well, till we forget the source Till your lover can’t give you what you’re looking for Then you find another And love is renewed The cure to all The loneliness you endured But it happens again Just a short time in And suddenly you realise You must love from within So begins a beautiful unfolding As you feel the love you knew was there It’s a gradual journey, this love of the self But there’s a freedom in releasing the search for someone else It’s peaceful and still Then a turbulent storm This inner discovery Is not a jacket well worn It’s authentic and real Emotions are raw All the times you blamed another You now look inward to find the core And at times, your heart is a mess It’s an open and vulnerable feeling Just give it space, it will pass This is the poetry of healing

About the Book
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Eckhart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, and Louise Hay, The Poetry of Healing: Pain to Peace is as much a journey of spiritual awakening as it is about overcoming the sadness and anxiety of separation. Although people easily understand the pain that comes with physical illness and injury, pain caused by injury to one’s psyche is often not as easily understood or accepted. Following a difficult divorce in 2011, Phil Barlow began a powerful healing process through poetry and song that led him to discover the pathway to a simple and peaceful life: It’s a journey for the brave We must allow ourselves to feel To discover the ultimate truth It’s deeper than me or you Finding strength in surrender Where the mind has lost its reign On a path to the blissful unknown In a moment, your life can change … This collection is a restorative story that transcends the pain of separation, loneliness and attachment, traversing to a place of self-love, presence and peace. There is purpose in this waking dream, and moving on from the past is possible. Barlow found a way to overcome limiting emotions in order to feel bliss, moment to moment, and so can you.
