Download or read book Ocean Voices written by Denis Albert Ladbrook and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2016-12-28 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A triple breakdown in relationships, work life, and health leaves Professor Denis Ladbrook teetering on the brink. Inspired by Carl Jung's idea that the ocean symbolizes the unconscious the great source of life, emotion, and soul Denis chooses to leave the city for the seaside hamlet of Yanchep, an hour's drive north of Perth, Western Australia. Tiptoeing down a steep dune track to the water's edge as dawn breaks each morning, Denis walks far along the beach, immersed in sounds of wind and waves. His sensations morph into words. Stumbling through emotional desolation and divorce, he trudges the ocean shore until he discovers the rhythm of the ancient Japanese poetic shape, haiku. Among the book's almost three hundred haikus, Denis includes thirty-two written by medieval Japanese poets. Over the year, the healing energy of the ocean, the ritual beat of walking, and actually writing the poems enabled Denis to let go and flow with the tides. Raw emotions allying with capricious ocean moods give the collection its energy, transforming brokenness to wholeness.

Download or read book Haikus for Healing written by Mayumi Itoh and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-07-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the forty-first bilingual haiku collection originally written by this author and introduces haikus featuring Japanese suffering and healing. Throughout history, the Japanese have suffered from many tragedies. Specifically, Japanese civilians went through a series of unprecedented hardships during the Asia-Pacific War, such as the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the internment of the Japanese on the West Coast of the United States. The Japanese acts of aggression during the Asia-Pacific War were brutal beyond description (a haiku collection about sufferings in Asia will be published later). A less known fact is that Japanese citizens at large, in addition to Asians and Americans, were also the victims of Japanese military propaganda. They had no say in the matter of the war and were forced to cooperate with wartime policy. Those who did not were arrested and tortured. Other cases of hardships Japanese endured in the 20th century concern the largescale Japanese emigration to North and South America, including California, Hawaii, Brazil, and Peru. This systematic emigration was promoted by the Japanese government as a means to reduce the number of poverty-stricken farmers at home. The sufferings and wounds of those who were involved in these tragedies deeply resonate in the hearts of the Japanese today. These experiences should not be buried in the vault of history. Reconciliation and healing from these wounds begin with acknowledgement of the truth. Upon recognition of the true facts, one can learn lessons so as not to repeat the same tragedies and go forward. The essence of haiku is to elevate one's feelings to a more objective and larger perspective. This mental engagement can serve as a healing process. With this in mind, this haiku collection examines diasporas, wars, and other sufferings that the Japanese have gone through in contemporary history and expresses them in a form of concise poetry, with annotations. Specifically. this haiku anthology presents 86 haikus with season words of the four seasons, plus the 'new year, ' which counts as a sub-season in the Japanese calendar.

Download or read book Healing with Haiku written by Anne Helfer and published by Hatherleigh Press. This book was released on 2025-01-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haikus heal the soul and this work guides you to improve your emotional health and well-being with writing. Therapeutic writing is something that has been a recommended part of many wellness programs dealing with trauma, addiction, anxiety, stress and more. The act of putting thoughts, memories and feelings into paper is a simple and effective tool for better awareness and understanding. Furthermore, writing to heal is about what you say, why you feel compelled to express it, and how you feel while and after you write it. Healing with Haiku uses the process of creating haikus as the main conduit for wellness and emotional expression. An ancient form of poetry known for its brevity, concise use of language, and focus on existential matters, haikus are the perfect way for anyone to get started in using writing to heal. In the book, people will learn to write haiku with the goal of exploring their inner selves more deeply--emotionally and perhaps spiritually. Expanding our capacity to notice, explore, and express our emotions is the key to living a more balanced, peaceful, and joyous life. Classic haiku aims to incorporate certain elements: nature, sensory awareness, self-discovery, a glimpse of enlightenment, a truth. All this while adhering to the 5-7-5 syllabication structure. Three lines, seventeen syllables--a whole word of mindfulness and understanding. The goal is not to help you to create a precisely crafted and poetically profound haiku, but to guide you in learning how to write one of the most simple and concise forms of poetry to discover and express what is true to you.
