Wonderful and upifting!!!!

I love this little book full of encouragement and wisdom. Her poems are so uplifting and truthful. They will bring tears to your eyes and joy to your heart. I read a little every day.

Reaches deep within and connects to the core

This is truly one of the best books dealing with yoga I've been introduced to. The poems are so deep and revealing and are just perfect for reflections during restorative yoga poses and guided relaxations. The author, Danna Faulds, is given a bow of gratitude for presenting her insights for us to envelope within our practices. Thank you, Danna.

Love the poetry!!! Especially "Go in and in"

The first poem, the name of the book, is magical. I heard it first when my yoga teacher read it at the end of class. It left such a deep impression on me. The rest of her poems are very beautiful as well. I highly recommend Danna's book!!!

wonderful!

These poems hit right in the heart center. They make very beautiful meditations to share during yoga class or to inspire personal practice. I'm looking forward to reading Danna Faulds other writings. Many thanks to this brilliant yogini for sharing her love of yoga!

Poems to accompany your soul's journey

I first heard these poems read aloud in my yoga class at the start of meditation, but they are applicable to everyone who yearns for the "still point" inside themselves and who searches for connection to Spirit. They are for everyone who sometimes tries too hard, who has to learn again and again to be gentle with themselves. They are for everyone who feels a connection in Nature; says Danna, "I will worship /where the broad /arc of sky bends/to hear the bird song." This lovely unpretentious collection of poems - average length 3/4 of a page - is organized in: Gifts of Practice, Gifts of Life, Gifts of Nature, and Gifts of Union. Danna shares her own journey's challenges and lessons with honesty, wit, and beautifully chosen words. Over and over I had the "YES, that is exactly what it feels like" moment, as this work speaks directly to my heart. This is spirit-centered writing which is firmly grounded in the real world; take "This body is not flowing/with liquid energy, no,/and this mind is not/awash with peace. I/ fight myself in every posture, muscles shriek,/ fear freezes bones and a / sure sense of failure grows. / This too is practice, / this ground where grief / gains the upper hand, / and anger casts dark / shadows." Danna has dealt with depression and other challenges (described in the interesting Introduction) and has been a yoga teacher at Kripalu Center in Massachusetts, and these experiences are brought to her work. My copy of this book is full of post-it arrows and is always near my bed, as is her second book, One Soul. I am about to purchase her third. I have shared two of these poems with a TaiChi class I took, and I even brought one of the poems into therapy to read and discuss because it so expressed what I wanted to say. Honor your own journey with this poetry, worthy of reading over and over.
