What is Wellness?

Wellness definition: Your wellness is how healthy you are, and how well and happy you feel.

 Collins English Dictionary

"How does poetry link to natural health and wellness?"

Having been asked this question, several times over  the years, I decided to reflect on it, earnestly, and to retrace my steps from being practically crippled with Rheumatoid Arthritis to achieving healing and wellness, through self-help, with loving support from family, friends, colleagues and health professionals.

Achieving wellness came with a change in my awareness about who I am, and seriously questioning what is my true purpose in life?

The gift of poetry has been with me all my life but instead of embracing it, the fear of being "different" caused me to bury it deep within. After many years of fighting Rheumatoid Arthritis I can, sincerely, say from the moment I accepted and embraced my gift (when I began working in school) and started sharing it with others, my healing began. My true purpose in life is to know, love and serve everyone I meet on my life path, in particular, the little children I teach, in order to help them to know and understand that we are all wonderful.

As I continue to  receive and share these wonderful, wealthy words, especially, with the little ones I teach, my wellness continues to flow spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally and socially.

"Words are for healing. Words written, can make all the difference." (1)

Wellness can be achieved through the wonderful, wealthy words of poetry that flow, from spirit, through our pure, open hearts. Poetry can heal the writers, as well as the readers, through feelings, emotions, imagery, rhythms and rhymes, laughter, prayers and especially in moments of silence.

For me, poetry links to natural health and wellness by coupling inspiring, uplifting, wonderful wealthy words with the following daily routines; meditation, setting intention, prayers, having an open heart, self-discipline, self-belief, faith and trust, focus, attentive listening (to my intuition and others) optimism, altruism, being myself, connecting to Nature, expressing gratitude for the good, the challenging and the ugly. All these aspects together with Attentive-Awareness (giving my full attention to whatever I am doing in the present moment) I believe, supports healing, good health and wellness.

I trust this blog resonates with you.
